It's a pretty well-known fact that ignorance is bliss. These tidbits from an especially uncomfortable AskReddit thread are definitely proof of this theory. One masochistic user asked the community to share all the glorious factoids they wish they hadn't learned, and honestly - we feel the same way.
gross
We've got some seriously bad news for fish-lovers. According to a report from nonprofit Oceana, over 20% of 449 fish that they tested were mislabeled, exposing some pretty serious "fish fraud." This is a staggering percentage, especially when considering that less than 1% of fish is tested for fraud. There's a huge chance that the expensive fish you're ordering while dining out is cheap - or even, according to this related Twitter thread from a biology professor, dangerous. There are fish out there that will hurt you to eat. And, as @AwesomeBioTA's class discovered, some of this "fish" is almost too disgusting for words.
Well, sh*t. One very shook gentleman took to Reddit after discovering that his girlfriend was wiping her butt with his gym socks. The entire situation is insane, and after she explains herself it gets even more crazy. Could you stay with your significant other if you found out they'd been using your socks to clean their bottoms?
Oh, the humanity! We spend hours and hours trawling the deep corners of the web for fun stuff for you all to gaze upon. Every now and then, however, we come across pics or videos that make us wonder why we bother with this "life" thing at all. Here's some of the content that makes us wish the asteroid would hurry the f*ck up.
Pretty much every person over the age of 50 loves to complain about how terrible the current generation is, from smart phones to our being "entitled" about everything (because God forbid we just want to eat, amirite?). So the next time an old person tries to pull that crap on you, just whip out this gallery of highly disturbing foods that the public actually used to consume throughout the 20th century, and we're betting that it'll shut down any and every argument they could possibly have about who the "best generation" is.
Summer's around the corner, folks, and people are dieting and hitting the gym to attain that elusive beach bod. We're more interested in the lazy route: looking at grotesque food pictures until we have absolutely zero appetite! Try it, we think you'll enjoy the results.
We can bet that every single person reading this asked the "Mom-can-we-go-out-to-eat?" question during childhood just to hear her say "no, we have food at home." And course, as these memes suggest, usually the food at home is far less tasty than anything you could've gotten at the drive-thru (especially when your parents aren't the best cooks...).
But in the end, we're secretly thankful that our parents provided us with home-cooked meals as kids, even if those meals tended to be un-sauced spaghetti noodles and a slice of unseasoned ham on the side.
We all know Gordon Ramsay for his fiery-tempered demeanor on TV, but according to his Twitter account he's also liable to roast average people and their cooking to an absolute crisp.
We're not totally sure if these people were trying to troll Ramsay, or if their cooking really is that horrid. Either way, they certainly succeeded in setting him off!
Think you've seen it all? Think again. Twitter user @grimiestt has truly lived up to their name after uploading a video of themselves licking an airplane toilet seat. The astonishingly gross video has understandably left much of Twitter completely shook, and has resulted in a surprisingly number of business opportunities. The 22 year old Brooklyn resident has officially upped the ante for airplane antics, so people who are patting themselves on the back for being members of the "Mile High Club" should feel somewhat humbled. We're just happy to hear that they're still alive after what they describes as a "numbing" experience.
