it was legal to mail children in packages via the USPS from 1913 to 1921 are some not fun facts depressing summary at the end of the video if you show symptoms of rabies your chances of dying are nearly 100% like pancreatic cancer if you're showing symptoms you're almost definitely already dead there was an NPR report about a doctor who put a young girl with the rabies virus into a medically induced coma he figured that since most people with rabies actually died of dehydration he can wait the virus out giving the girl a feeding tube and waking her up after the virus had run its course he was right you will watch most of the people you love die and the rest will watch you die it's guaranteed to happen unless you are killed at the same time by a plane crash or so as the youngest of nine kids who also still has both his parents this has been sinking in with me lately I haven't lost many family grandparents all passed before I was born or friends yet at this point in my life at age 37 to death and statistically I'm probably going to outlive most or likely all of them because I'm the healthiest and youngest the second half of my life is gonna suck funerals wise there's somebody out there that you're completely compatible with and you get along perfectly and it's your perfect partner but you'll probably never get to meet them my friend lives in somewhat rural Washington State USA she got on a dating app a few years ago and on a whim she said her interest in location is global she matched with a guy who lived in Germany when she asked him why he also said his location to global he said what are the odds in all the world that my soulmate is in my own city they're engaged America's first baseball star Jim Creighton died at 21 from a rupture he got from hitting a home run he injured himself in a game when he suffered a ruptured abdominal hernia hitting a home run the rupture caused internal bleeding and he died four days later the youngest girl to ever give birth was 5 years 7 months and 21 days old I can't even imagine the labor pains the size difference between baby and mother wouldn't have been too much to this day she still refuses to be interviewed about it it was no doubt her dad or uncle or someone the family would wanted to protect due to fear of shame it still happens way too often you've walked by and seen people that have died very painfully in the last year recently an old co-worker of mine said hi to me when we bumped into each other in a shop and we chatted for a bit the next day in work he was crushed by a trailer and his spine was pushed up into his brain someone replied a few days before Christmas I picked up a package from my downstairs neighbor and wished her a Merry Christmas four hours later she caused a car crash that killed four including her and injured 12 someone else replied I served two people at work that within days of me serving them they were in the news because they were murdered one by a jealous ex he killed her stuffed her in a suitcase hiding it in her car and then within 24 hours of her body being found he killed himself in a deliberate car crash the other was a mother who was decapitated by her daughter in front of a younger member of the same family really makes you realize just how short life is the british east india company took over bengal india and their policies caused the Great Bengal famine of 1770 it caused the death of ten million a third of the population the British have caused so many artificial famines the Irish Famine of 1847 Bengal again in 1943 yet no one takes them to task over it brain activity has been recorded for up to ten minutes after death what is that person experiencing during those last minutes of life another fact during those 10 minutes time isn't perceived the same way as when you were alive so in your head those 10 minutes can last years during this time it is said that you live your life again maybe you're already dead and you're in those 10 minutes who knows time dilation if every single thing in your life has already happened and what you're experiencing now is the brain replaying its life and extraordinarily vivid detail almost like a dream except how would you ever know how are you sure that this is the first playthrough I guess how do I know that I'm not already dead and these last couple decades have been my last little lights of brain activity or even worse yet this is the real run and I gotta live it all over again typing this out like this actually gets me thinking if you knew you had to relive your life as vivid and detailed as it was the first time a second time start to finish what would you do differently or would you do it all the same you have one to ten minutes to live but every time you breathe it resets now you are very aware of your own breathing you're welcome whales and dolphins died by not having enough energy to surface for air so they slowly sink into the depths of the ocean and suffocate a lot of people are stuck in jobs that make them very unhappy and may increase their chances of committing suicide I've come to realize this as an adult yes a lot of people have higher paying jobs but I see what meds they're on someone replied it's true those of us earning any sort of decent money are basically stuck working those jobs if we have other people depending on us by the time I was 30 or so adult male suicide was no longer a mystery to me between our jobs and how devastating relationships can be the number of men I know that are wrecked financially following a divorce is high I'm surprised more of us don't kill ourselves many of us are just doing it slowly with alcohol your comfort is only possible due to the suffering of millions toiling away in nightmarish sweatshops factories mines fields etc technically it's possible without but humans are greedy and want the cheap labor there is no such thing as responsibly sourced products only different degrees of exploitation of course we should work to minimize exploitation and eventually eliminate it entirely but with the current economic paradigm all consumption is exploitive a majority of kidnappings ropes and murders are committed by people familiar to the victim stranger danger is largely BS that's the problem that kid is more likely to be attacked by a relative or family friend than by an unfamiliar adult in public males are more likely to be murdered by a stranger than a female as to be murdered by a stranger but in general the vast majority of murders are committed by someone who knew the victim male or female when they perform executions by shooting the reason they have several shooters is so that no one knows who shot the fatal shot on the other hand every hit adds up to the sum of injuries that lead to death and contributing to this still makes you responsible for causing a death consider a shooting squad of six men all low-key not wanting to kill and all hitting the shoulders that would be even worse technically we're all brain damaged to some extent adrenaline high cortisol little bumps to head alcohol and many other chemicals contact with toxic people and people in general those are some of the causes of that twenty five thousand people die of hunger every day and all of those deaths would be preventable if humans weren't greedy money grabbers we have more than enough food to feed the world when I say this people call me a G or Tina's defense mechanism just accept we are all greedy organisms get off your moral high ground that you made up in your schizophrenic cognitive dissonance add and accept you or like the rest greedy organism we humans are as good as our biology dictates just as it is with other organisms but we judge so much because we are moral social animals so it comes naturally to us but when something like helping the starving ones and giving up unnecessary luxuries and excessive peers something that isn't encouraged by society we suddenly aren't as good because we are not conditioned to care we are conditioned to ignore such things we are as good as our environment and conditioning reminds me of how absolutely everyone thinks that if they were born in Nazi Germany that wouldn't be Nazis humans really overestimate how good they are or rather underestimate their evil Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize this was a political move Hitler had forbidden his people from going to collect their Nobel prizes so someone nominated him cysticercosis is when a tapeworm manages to lodge itself inside your brain causing big cysts to form in your head causing headaches and seizures in Australia there is a plant called the gimpy gimpy otherwise known as the suicide plant when touched it delivers multiple stings with a long-lasting neurotoxin that is so painful that people would rather kill themselves than live through a few days of excruciating pain and then a further several years of lesser pain or full reoccurrence in the correct conditions if the tiny hairs that deliver the stings are not removed or are buried the pain will continue for years the pain which has been described as feeling like being doused in hot acid and being electrocuted simultaneously is so bad that people have been driven mad by it horses who have been stung by this plant have literally thrown themselves off cliffs an ex-serviceman named cyril Bromley has known to have fallen into one of the plants during World War two driven mad by it he had to be strapped to a bed to prevent himself from committing suicide another rather unfortunate officer is known to have shot himself in the head after using one of the plants leaves as toilet paper rather than live with the pain in his rear end he chose to end his life the work ethics in a Chinese factory are so grueling that employees tend to commit suicide during their shifts to prevent this the employers place nets all around the factory so that when employees try to take to a swan dive the Nets would catch them and they'd be forced to go back to work this is still happening one of these companies is Foxconn which is a large supplier for apple Shoebill mothers will only raise one chick so when two eggs are laid the mother will leave the nest to let them hatch when those eggs hatch one is always aggressive and violent and the other chick is always the timid and sensitive one the violent one immediately rushes out of the egg to assault the timid one on site when the mother comes back to see the aftermath the timid one limps to its mother for comfort and protection the mother then takes her time beating the timid one to death with her bill until it's nothing but a mangled lump of meat and bones and raises the aggressive chick I saw this in a Netflix documentary on the animals of Africa David Attenborough actually had to manifest into corporal form after the end of the particular scene to console the viewer and remind us that nature can be scary as hell sometimes during World War two many American corporations aided funded and supplied Nazi Germany with many of the heads of these corporations agreeing with German political stances at the time especially when compared to FDR American telephone and telegraph company more commonly known as AT&T designed and installed the telephone lines used by the Germans during the occupation of France to allow for communication directly to Berlin coca-cola sold their beverages to the Nazis who promptly distributed them soldiers in North Africa there were even reports of German pilots tying towels around several bottles of coke tying them to their aircraft and flying up to altitude when they land their cokes would be frozen needing to chip the frozen towel off perfect for a hot day in North Africa another small company called Ford had manufacturing plants in Germany where many German half-tracks were fitted with Ford engines in fact in the 1940s after the war Ford sued the United States government for damages done to their factories during the war and they won Standard Oil the company which held a monopoly on oil and gasoline throughout most of the world at the time sold their oil to everyone including the Germans in fact the only ones they didn't sell to where the Japanese who had been placed under an extremely strict embargo by the American government forcing Japan's hand in to launch a strike against Pearl Harbor Japan committed the same if not worse atrocities as Germany in World War two but the history books often forget it the Soviets tried to establish a self-sufficient prison island however because there was a quota officials had to fill most inmates were city dwellers that got arrested over practically nothing and had no prior experience with farming that combined with incompetent officials cruel guards no clean water and the only food source being flour that was mostly hoarded by brigadiers that abused their position led to a rapid onset of hunger disease and death the ones that didn't starve to death died from disease or go shot by the guards grew so desperate that they started cutting pieces off the living that were too weak to fight back 15 percent of all pregnancies will end in an unprovoked abortion within 22 weeks roughly every second woman will experience an unprovoked abortion during her childbearing years that's a fact that I already have a couple friends who would have benefited greatly from before said abortions somehow it's easier to bear when you aren't the only one if your eyes get red and irritated when you go swimming in a public pool it's not necessarily because of the chlorine in the water they're reacting to compounds formed by the chlorines reaction with the pee poo particles and sweat in there people suffering from a range of depressive disorders tend to assess themselves closer the assessment of those around them people without any depressive disorder see themselves in a more positive light than those around them thus according to the same research depression makes you assess yourself more realistically this is called depressive realism and it's been disputed but when you look at all the logic Brothers around you can kind of sense that happiness and content didn't develop that mindset nor that it provides either of these 79% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck meaning 79 percent of Americans are serfs replace working for food and shelter which someone else owns and is willing to give you in exchange for selling your labor to them replace food and shelter with money which can theoretically be used

Americans own 80 percent of the stock in the stock market read 20 percent of Americans own nearly every company that has shareholders wages haven't kept pace with productivity productivity has doubled since 1970 but wages have remained the same where is it going you may ask trickle-down economics at its finest abolish capitalism and replace unjust or ineffective Authority with worker owned democratic free Federation Arthur Shawcross was released from prison after the murder and mutilation necrophilia genital cannibalization of two very young children psychiatrists told the penitentiary he was released he would likely kill and torture again he was released and tortured killed and did the same to as many as eleven women in New York he was on parole in the town the were being murdered and nobody bothered go investigate him and police had several missteps that could have prevented several of the killings and caught him much sooner than he was during the French Revolution doctors would observe recently beheaded people still being able to blink it resulted in them asking questions to them and they would respond by blinking until they finally died I think the longest someone was able to respond to questions was 30 seconds after being beheaded if someone threatens you with a weapon and they want to move you to another location your chance of dying increases tenfold if you
