What's a disturbing or disgusting fact you know?

I'll start:

Michaelangelo, the guy who painted the ceiling in the Sixtinth Chapel, wore stockings made of dog skin.
He wore them for months at a time, so by the time he finally took them off, his skin would come off aswell.

He was a genius.

It is said he "surpassed antiquity". His art was beyond perfection of the original grecian masters.

Its common knowledge that those of genius get lost in it....everything becomes secondary.
Food, cleanliness, appearence ....all are superfluous.

Yeah it can be gross. Ive known one or two people that were a kinda like this.

Brilliance comes with its own priorities 🤷‍♀

cockroaches live mostly just fine without a head. when they finally do expire from decapitation it's either from starvation or mold/fungal/bacteria infection

@dirge Additional fact: they find humans so disgusting their main priority after contact is cleaning themselves. Ironic, isn't it?

That is disgusting.

A fun one I know is that in Victorian England, mummies were used in medicine.

Yes. Mummified people. As in they ingested bits of dried human, and that is the reason for the current rarety of mummies.

@LordShadowfire I knew that, actually. I have a book where one of the chapters is about mummies and their usages.

@Boeing Is that like finding yourself in the weird part of YouTube?
When you are under anesthesia for surgery a “student/doctor” can perform a pelvic exam w.out consent.

@deathfairy that is disturbing.


Luckilly the laws say that's not ok in Norway, but the fact some countries still allow it is messed up

Apparently, If you stare at yourself in the mirror too long, your brain will distort your image because it gets bored.
Your brain really does have a mind of its own!
If you masturbate while on SW your feet will get hairy.

Oops……. 🤭
