#2

Kurichfield : Nope

#3

#5

Panda-sized Potato : Do yourselves a favor, and do NOT look this up. I’m not sleeping tonight, or any night for that matter.

#6

Hippopotamuses : It never ceases to amaze me the lengths children have gone to throughout history to avoid eating their brussels sprouts!

#7

Katie Lutesinger : What a romantic.

General Anaesthesia : I’m sure she appreciated the gesture :)

Sunny Foxglove : It really was an act of romance. He was in love with her but his father, who king at the time didn’t approve. He married her anyway and they had children. Furious, the king secretly ordered her killed. She was brutally murdered in front of her children. The prince was stricken by grief and when he became king he had her exhumed and crowned and ordered all the men who had spoke badly about her and plotted her death to kiss the hand of his wife, who should be his rightful queen.

#8

Ray Ceeya (RayCeeYa) : I can’t stand watching any TV show with a laugh track anymore. Everybody loves Raymond ruined me. Ray Romano is so not funny and the laugh track just makes it worse. I was literally counting the seconds between LOLs and bored as hell.

#9

Lotus Flower in Space 🪷‍ : Ram! My man.

#10

troufaki13 : So that’s where Zara drew inspiration for their ads!! 😅

#11

Panda-sized Potato : Looks like Dr Robotnik. Also looks like he needs clothes.

#12

David A Paterson : Nice drawing. The Jungian “shadow” archaetype.

#13

Roger Lickers : 1361

#14

Adam Jeff : If anything it looks more like the shadow of a crucified Justin Bieber

#15

Nana : I mean if they managed to do that and put in all the hard work to steal it, they probably earned it. That’s low key impressive. 😆

#17

CoMa4 : What a tragic and beautiful place.

#18

#19

Ray Ceeya (RayCeeYa) : Yeah Catholicism can get pretty weird. They probably did this to overturn some of his edicts that had become problematic.

#20

The Scout (edited): The strangest thing about this is that while premature burials were extremely rare, the fear of them was not. It was something close to mass hysterics at the time, helped by stories and novels like Edgar Allan Poe’s “Buried Alive” and similar. Doctors at the time sometimes carried a “heart knife”: If they pronounced someone dead, they afterwards stabbed him to the heart to make sure he did not wake up in the grave.

#21

Gimme that Cash : They don’t pose much of a threat to humans and usually flees when alarmed. Not particularly dangerous to humans.

#22

David A Paterson : Not so much creepy as apposite.

#23

Elizabeth Elliot : They also display ‘burrowing response’ where they crawl into confined spaces – looking like someone has concealed a body..

Skullface VonHornhelm : This is really mild compared to the other things on the list.

#25

#26

Na Schi : So much for Rest in Peace.

#27

#28

Lotus Flower in Space 🪷‍ : Someone forgot to switch off the radio before the Soviet Union fell. Wouldn’t want to see that electric bill.

Panda-sized Potato : Home Depot’s latest Halloween decoration.

#31

Moosy Girl : I’d think presenting the actual living actors alive would be more effective to clear the murder charges…

#32

Susie Elle : The roots of those teeth look incredibly long

Nicky Shrimps : X-ray tech here. It’s the angle.

#33

Bec : Since the nails appear to be close together, wouldn’t this be similar to the bed of nails, more entertainment than torture?

Michael Parsons : A bed of nails is still extremely uncomfortable, the downward pressure is distributed along the length of the entire body, and the person only lays there for a brief period of time. Here, your entire body weight is on your butt and thighs. This would be torture.

marianne Eliza : If you’re a slim person. Well, at least until they start placing the weights on your lap.

#34

David A Paterson : Did it work?

Michel De Ruyck (edited): I haven’t seen a single vampire in the last 200 years so I think it must have …

#35

Panda-sized Potato : That is wrong on so many levels.

#36

David A Paterson : An extreme form of body dismorphic disorder, where the affected person believes that some part of their body doesn’t belong to them.

#37

EmbersAreOut : NOPE I SCROLLED PAST SO FAST. IM NOT HAVING ANOTHER NIGHTMARE TONIGHT.

#38

#39

Sian Edwards : These don’t necessarily belong to children. It’s more likely that they belonged to the Liquidators who went in after the area was evacuated. Don’t forget, the Soviet government didn’t even tell the people of Prypiat and the surrounding areas about the severity of the incident, and when they did evacuate, the people were encouraged to believe it was for 3 days. Almost no precautions were taken with the safety of the public until then. The gas masks were likely abandoned by the Liquidators when they were released from duty, they could have been using the school as a base of operations. They left most of the equipment behind, from gas masks to clothing to the fire engines and helicopters because they were too radioactive to take from there.

Kurichfield : Nope…clown…double nope

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
