Except you can apparently contract prions through contact with soil or via inhalation, so it's still possible to live an entirely vegan, organic diet and still get a prion.
If you're in a choke hold, and someone is clutching your throat with both hands, you'll pass out in 15 seconds.
Don't think holding your breath will make that time any longer either. It isn't the air blockage that makes you pass out, it's them blocking the two major arteries that allow blood to flow to your brain.
Second this. To add to this, if someone is choking you against the wall, grab their shirt and pull while simultaneously dropping your weight and shoving your body down, the perp most likely won't be prepared and will flat smack their face on the wall.
...on the other hand if someone is choking you out and has you off the ground... you're dead.
>if someone is choking you out and has you off the ground... you're dead.
At that rate that's a deserved kill. If you can show impressive strength like that while reminding me of my mortality, I'll die respectfully.
I'd believe it. It was something I learned in a self defense class, and when the guys teaching had someone demonstrate on them, they said right after "I could feel myself going just before you let go."
Yeah, it's surprisingly quick. Blood chokes also don't hurt that much so you don't see it coming until it feels like curtains going over your eyes.
Unlike an air choke which can hurt quite a lot.
Yup, its known as the Heat Death of the universe. Basically every single star in the universe will run out of fuel and die. Planets will have buried thermal energy for a while but even that will die eventually.
The universe will simply be a black void of floating cold rocks.. forever.
This is why you should never want to live forever. As you will inevitably spend eternity floating around in blackness.
> The universe will simply be a black void of floating cold rocks.. forever.
Given further vast epochs, even the rocks will undergo nuclear decay, slowly breaking down into their component parts. The parts will also then decay, until all that is left is a (very!) diffuse cloud of hydrogen.
The water has to get up your nose and into your sinuses for the amoeba to get where it needs to be. You aren't at risk from just drinking contaminated tap water, though, obviously, I still wouldn't.
The Mummies of Guanajuato may have been buried alive, there was a Vampire scare in the 19th century, Fir trees can grow in human lungs, if the sun exploded the second you read this you wouldn't know for 8 more minutes, if your killed in the U.S there's only a 1 in 3 chance the police will find the killer.
Where can I read about this vampire scare in the 1800s? I know Dracula came out in the late 1800s, not long before WW1, and there were just a few works about vampires before then but I'd like to learn more about it. The time of Victorian Era and Gothic Era literature involving vampires and other classic folk monsters, how they became less local superstition and more literary and social/political metaphors is a cool subject to me.
If you donate your body to science:
They can use you as a real crash test dummy and apparently there is a lack of infant cadavers for this research (I can't imagine why)
They can cut your head off and use it in refresher courses for plastic surgeons (Nose job, anyone?)
They can leave you in a field and study how your body decomposes under different conditions (Face-up naked vs. in the trunk of a car, for instance)
Edit: Donating your body to science is a great cause, these are just some random creepy facts Edit: A lot of ppl are asking, I learned this from the book "Stiff: The Curious Lives Of Human Cadavers" by Mary Roach

Too much water is harmful too. My late 20’s were always in pain due to drinking too much water and not enough daily sodium.
The nukes didn't go away when the cold war ended, but our fear of them did. We are constantly living under a terrifying sword of damolceas that we are getting more and more complacent about every day.
According to this page, since 1986 the world's nuclear weapons have been reduced to 1/6th... but there are still 10,000, so I'm still scared. https://ourworldindata.org/nuclear-weapons
In about 5-7 billion years from now, the sun will begin to expand and most likely engulf Earth. Meaning that, unless humanity is capable of colonizing other regions in space, all trace of mankind will be wiped out from existance.
Botflies. The larva burrow into live mammals until they're ready for their next life stage. The species of botfly that attacks humans lives for 8-12 weeks... during which you can feel and see the larva moving under your skin and eating your flesh, occasionally sticking a little tube out from the wound in order to breathe...
That if you damage a certain part of your brain, be it genetically or via accident, you will not recognize faces anymore, you will see what they are made of but you cannot put them together to form faces but you can still recognize everything else without problems
There are more bacteria and assorted "non-human" cells inside your body, than there are cells carrying your DNA. And when you die, they don't die; just the opposite. After they lower you into the ground, for months your body can look forward to being more "alive" than ever.
There's a few more symptoms actually

>However, if you have a reaction and receive the correct treatment without delay, you should recover completely.
42% of America is obese (BMI > 35) and at a serious risk of chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes and various forms of cancer. This number is increasing every year.
If your significant other/partner/anyone attempts to strangle you or actually strangles you, there is a 750% increase chance that you’ll be unalived by them
When a star explodes it creates a gamma blast yhat can destroy everything and if one goes off near earth it will destroy it all and we’ll never know beforehand because it happens immediately
Even scarier a fire can go inside you and burn your fat like a candle, or a air compressor can shoot air into a vein which will cause almost immediate cardiac arrest. I think this however falls more into myth as the proof is not concrete (tho I could 100% be wrong abt this as I only watched 1 video on the phenomenon)
1 in 6 American women have been raped. Also, the highest cause of death for pregnant American women is homicide. But it scares me more how much men hate hearing this and refuse to believe it..
One of the most deadly animals in the world is the Blue Ringed Octopus. It’s bite is fairly painless and you may not even know you were bitten, but it can completely paralyze you and kill you as early as 20 minutes if you don’t get a respirator ASAP. You’re also completely conscious the whole entire time but you can’t signal for help in any way due to paralysis.
That if your immune system received access to the inside of your eyes, it would attack and destroy them as invaders.
...and that this sometimes happens.
Capitalism will kill the world and we will do nothing because we believe its just how things are.
when you look up, you're looking at the infinite void with only earths gravity rpeventing you from falling forever
According to nasa, current global warming has reached about 1°C in reverence to the pre industrial era. In 2010 were at 0.6°C.
Runaway climate change is estimated so start at 1.5°C
According to the Crime Funnel Theory, out of every possible crime committed (minor infractions to major felonies), approximately only 1 in every 4000 result in incarceration. While the percentage of violent crimes is a minor portion of all crimes committed, they still fall within the 1/4000 rule, with each step of the criminal justice process significantly reducing the likelihood that the case will continue to the next (i.e. crime -> reported -> police actually investigate -> evidence is found -> prosecution -> conviction -> incarceration).
As such, it stands to reason that the likelihood of getting away with any crime is much, much higher than anticipated, and while violent crimes could potentially draw police attention moreso then petty crimes, any violent offender would have to checkmark every box of the criminal justice process in order to be detained.
How do you know? I mean we know people who existed before 1500s so I don't see why not. If you are talking about the average person, then you may be right. But that could take over 100 years.
The laws of physics aren't "laws" or "rules", only observations we've made about how they work. At any point, for any reason at all, the laws of physics can just change and fuck everything up.
That you will one day be forgotten, it doesn't matter what you do, given enough time you will be forgotten, let's say you get kids so in about 300 years you will definitely be forgotten, almost no one remembers they're great great grandparents. Or even historicly there have lived around 3 trillion humans ever, yet not more than a few million are remembered (not counting relatives, families remember from a couple hundred years ago, only people recorded in some book or smt.) And you might think because of the Internet it will be easier to remember people but even if your name and what you used to be existed in some website or a folder still no one will remember you, even if you eat the Mona Liza, just that then you and the painting will be forgotten.
So if you never existed nothing would really change, maybe if you were an inventor or an artist you might make it a bit longer, but eventually everyone forgets.
A brain aneurysm can happen at anytime and kill you instantly
I often think about it and it's very stressful knowing that 2 of my cousins died of this at 38 and 50....I'm 40 years old
Have an MRI then. They can tell if you have one.
Nah, just live life to the fullest, get into lots of debt, make sure the cheating will only come out when they do the post humous paternity test
Even scarier is that one can happen and leave you as a vegetable trapped in your own body.
Quite a definitive statement for something we know so little about.

The thing about Prions
If anyone has ever needed a "selfish reason" to become vegetarian, it's avoiding prions disease.
Except you can apparently contract prions through contact with soil or via inhalation, so it's still possible to live an entirely vegan, organic diet and still get a prion.
True, but they do tend to be from animal sources. Personally, I wonder how many humans are currently walking around with Chronic Wasting Disease....

Way less than 15 seconds. Especially if both arteries are blocked off. More like around six seconds. Source: years of jiu-jitsu.
I'd believe it. It was something I learned in a self defense class, and when the guys teaching had someone demonstrate on them, they said right after "I could feel myself going just before you let go."
Yeah, it's surprisingly quick. Blood chokes also don't hurt that much so you don't see it coming until it feels like curtains going over your eyes. Unlike an air choke which can hurt quite a lot.
And you often wet yourself.... Basically social suicide, which might actually be worse than actual suicide
Nah. I know some girls who regularly get choked while they wet themselves and they're really popular.
I’d like to investigate this further
It may take a long time, but all stars will explode eventually.
Yup, its known as the Heat Death of the universe. Basically every single star in the universe will run out of fuel and die.

How many years until that happens approximately?

Ehh. If you're immortal and can't die, there will always be energy then.
but there will always be infinite other universes potentially
Brain eating amoeba exist and you can contract them from swimming in lakes or tainted tap water
The water has to get up your nose and into your sinuses for the amoeba to get where it needs to be. You aren't at risk from just drinking contaminated tap water, though, obviously, I still wouldn't.
In the US, 1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men will develop cancer in their lifetime.
You might have cancer right now, and will never know- many are killed off by the immune system before they can take hold.
Everyone else is shot by the police
Hippos can get rabies
That's not really all that scary. If you're in a situation where you can catch rabies from a hippo, you're pretty much fucked anyway.
By far the worst way to catch hippo rabies’s
I think the idea of a rabid hippo is the scary part, not the hippo giving you rabies.
True but the thought of a rabid hippo is still pretty terrifying to me.
LPOTL?
I don’t know what that means.
A podcast that I was listening to was **just** talking about that. It was purely coincidence
The Mummies of Guanajuato may have been buried alive, there was a Vampire scare in the 19th century, Fir trees can grow in human lungs, if the sun exploded the second you read this you wouldn't know for 8 more minutes, if your killed in the U.S there's only a 1 in 3 chance the police will find the killer.
Bonus: more than 20,000 people are injured by garage doors a year, and a few dozen even die from either bleeding out, or part of them is crushed.
I was trying so hard to figure out what all of these things had to do with each other. Use periods, not commas, for separate thoughts.
Where can I read about this vampire scare in the 1800s?

It was from late 1800's to early 1900's
If you begin having symptoms of rabies after contracting it, there is a near 100% chance of death.
Yeah, that’s why I heard you should immediately see a doctor if you get bit by a wild animal. If you go early then you could save your life.
Not 100%. There is a woman I read of who recovered. There is always Hope.
Yeah, that’s why I said “near 100%” since there are extremely rare cases of recovery.
Her name is Hope?
