[CITATION NEEDED INTENSIFIES]
somethingnotyettaken
Isn't it pretty much standard practice for one of the pilots to sleep during long-haul flights?
crazybean2000
I feel like most of these could easily be bs
imnotthatblonde
burke is true, but its Edinburgh University Anatomical Museum, which is only affiliated to the medical school... surgeons hall has his skin
trowavo
Back then when I see facts like these I'll be like cool facts. Now I want to see the citation
MrLenin
4 and 8 are not true. Certainly no respectable scientist cites nazi science, it was almost universally really shit science.
dolphindreamsandsatan
[citation needed]
BenjiTheCrab
Yeah, I was gonna say: made up facts... Made up facts everywhere.
imnotthatblonde
burke is true, sister has handled the bones
Lavie154
Apollo 11 one is somewhat true - that was merely the descent stage. The ascent stage was topped off
Apeofdeath
dead people laughing, t.v. just became marginally more interesting
StephieDZ
I feel like the pilots one isn't scary, since they have a at least one co-pilot with them in the cockpit, who is also fully trained.
countryg33k
don't they actually have rest breaks on long trips so the flight crew can catch a few zzzzs?
StephieDZ
Yup. A quick google also shows that they often have more than two pilots for flights longer than eight hours.

Does the Mars rover whistle or sing?!
youareanatural
lol I wish these were creepy... these are just depressing T_T
INoLongerCareBoutThisName
I like how the last pic is of Big Bang which is filmed live. The laughter is real (although likely from multiple takes added together)
nooowhaaaat
#1 it's not from a word meaning death pledge...it's just the words for death and pledge put together
CredibleHulk
Lots of these are wrong. Cite your sources folks.
CinnamonBunny
#17 a lot more of the right handed die while using the same equipment
PaintedSlate
Base rates.
seiglinde2000
Gotta look at it from a percentage standpoint. More rightys might die, but there's also way more of them in the first place
DefinitelyNotCera
Not a bad little collection. Some citation needed.
Biteymcbiteface
How is a fetus mumified in the womb?
aRepost
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithopedion
centaursEAThumansRhonda
I think it was calcified, not mummified. So the fetus died, wasn't expelled, and then the body calcified it.
Biteymcbiteface
Sounds more reasonable
dancingbelly81
The body, in an attempt to break it down, calcifies it. Essentially turns it to a stone.

She fucked a mummy and he didn't wrap it up.
itsthevoiceman
Kinda relevant? https://youtu.be/7W35dyPTh6o

Dethklok is ALWAYS relevant.

Sauces please
Edwinshap
Last one is false. I went to a TBBT taping and could hear my laughs through the episode...told it was a donkey laugh
SnapKylePop
#20 There's a Pixar movie in there somewhere.
JasonThorn
WALL-E has already been made.
Th47Guy
This is actually not entirely true. It is processing dirt samples, which makes noises and scientists programmed it to sound like 1/2
Th47Guy
happy birthday because we could.
Cooper1977
The one about the Apollo mission isn't scary, it's just really good math by the mission planners.
AvielMenter
Also a healthy margin for error; they had to search around a bit for a better landing spot.
monsto
actually, mission control was nervous as fuck about it, because of the manual landing but the 'Nauts were not.
CinnamonBunny
The less the better really.
OneArmedDuckFucker
The safest is when at the start you don't have any fuel.
goodjobmyfellowman
Sounds like SOMEone lost an arm in a fuel accident
OneArmedDuckFucker
yeah, friction is a bitch.
CinnamonBunny
On the first stage? Maybe. But if you have zero fuel on the last stage, you are fucked.
OneArmedDuckFucker
Absolutely no fuel. Nothing to ignite.
PoppinLochNessHopster
That is definitely the safest way to operate a rocket.

I just turned 27
nooowhaaaat
Didn't realize people from the 50s and 60s are all dead
Verelse
Dead people? Sirrah, I believe your facts are "fake news".
noblespaceplatypus
Bachinga *laugh track of the dead*
uponstrangeshores
rikity
Mine died long before that
jpj230
Just turned 28, fuck
extremisttt
27 blows. All of a sudden everything hurts, everything is fat, and my face aged ten years overnight.
Cheomesh
Natural human life expectancy is only like 30 anyways.
JessicaFappit
I don't believe that.
Trojkan
My brain started deteriorating back when i was 13
ThisMeansALot
Wow. I really hope there's scientific evidence. Or imma be smart as fuck at 40!!
dephress
Our brain develops until we are 25 and starts to degrade at 27? Well, guess I had two good years.
RoyalWithChz
And here I am turning 27 on Thursday
TallDorkAndHideous
I'm 32, I'm practically braindead
tamaradactyl
Lol same
QuackDodgers
I'm turning 27 this month :(
baldbear
That
baldbear
is a myth. Believed for decades, recently neuroscientific research shows the brain loses cells any second, but creates new ones as well.
baldbear
If needed, that is. So don't stop thinking and learning new things. We here on Imgur should be pretty safe.
iamnotmrlebowskiyouare
Data from Nazi research is not used these days. Research using the data has been rejected by multiple agencies in the past.
downwithJesus
Not true, but their names are never used and wont be honored. But research based on hypothermia is one.
jetflight
So and so. Believe it or not, the Nazis did more perfectly fine (ie, ethical) science than Mengele-type torturefests.
iamnotmrlebowskiyouare
http://blog.practicalethics.ox.ac.uk/2015/06/guest-post-is-it-ethical-to-use-data-from-nazi-medical-experiments/
reload2456
Didnt read the article but its actually unethical to not use the data. The negative repercussions of the actions have already happened so
reload2456
By not using the data to make things better we are actually compounding the negative effects rather than allowing good to come of it.
LurkerOfDarkness
However we should remember how it was acquired and honour those that unwillingly gave their lives, and not the nazi doctors.
downwithJesus
Yup, when citing, the names of the nazis are not used. Just experiment and that it was from then.
reload2456
imo the best way to honor them would be to use the data that was gathered to improve the lives of those they left behind.
BlasphemousPigeon
The one about Ducky is super fucking depressing.... :(
AshPed
SickBound
Yeah that one really got to me. I had to turn my head and close my eyes for a moment.
CoderWithoutCaffeine
I don't believe in hell. I sure hope I'm wrong, and parents that beat kids rot in hell.
jtorres2000
Yep yep yep
dogfrost9
... and now she's dead.
Byttemos
Dead dead dead
DarthZerma
You monster
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
no kidding. I watched the 1st movie till I wore out the tape when I was a kid (I loooved dinosaurs, come to think of it I still kinda do)
Dolphinsrapedmybaby
yup yup yup :(
noblespaceplatypus
the fucked up thing was he beat her regularly and was jealous of her success, her mom and her were leaving him when he killed them.
WhatRaySay
what. the. fuck. god. fucking. damnit.
BlasphemousPigeon
So fucking sad. I hate abusive people. I wish torture were legal for fuckers like that.
BenSnow97
Torture is ineffective to get information out of people but damn does it feel good
ImTheBiggestArseOnTheMoon
BlasphemousPigeon
Don't want info, just want them to suffer worse than their victims. Would also make a good deterrent.
foxhoundunit89
"deterrents" serve only to make people try harder to not get caught. It doesn't stop the behavior.
twatswatterphilosopher
Yeah I'm just going to pretend like I never read it, or that everything is a lie
Itachi4Life
Me too...
deargodnotthebees
I don't doubt the sleeping pilot one at all. After the advent of FMC guided navigation pilot input is really only needed for takeoff/landing
Cheomesh
If we could automate that too...
deargodnotthebees
To a certain extent we already have. Most current-gen aircraft have rollout procedures following autoland which requires very little.. (1/2)
deargodnotthebees
Pilot input. However much of this is reliant upon ILS landings which aren't always available. Takeoff is unlikely to be automated due (2/3)
deargodnotthebees
to the needed communication between pilot and tower in order to prevent accidents or sudden changes in flightpath.
Cheomesh
We'll get there eventually, though. Imagine no more pilot strikes!
