We humans are meaning-seeking creatures. The question ‘why?’ has pushed us to explore the mysteries of the universe as well as the depths of our existence. But in the process, we learned that not every revelation brings us peace of mind.
Reddit user Yoloextreme345 made a post on the platform, asking everyone on it, “What is a fact you know off the top of your head (preferably disturbing) that you probably shouldn’t?” and people immediately started sharing things they would like to forget.
From ancient funeral practices to modern celebrity lives, here are some of the most popular answers.
