Wiekes weetjes: 10 Facts that are guaranteed to ruin your day

It's that time again: I'm going to thoroughly ruin your day. Consider yourself warned. I've found some facts on the internet again and they're not pleasant. I would even call them very depressing. Reading is at your own risk, because these are definitely going to ruin your mood.

1. Statistically, one of your ten best friends will die before the age of forty.
I told you it was going to ruin your day?

2. Most memories and experiences you forget; and that will never be fully restored.
The times you think ‘oh yes!’ change something in your brain, so you always remember it differently than how it actually happened.

3. On average, the Earth is hit by a solar storm every 150 years... And the last one was 155 years ago.
*Panic attack*

4. Sugar-free gummy bears have a laxative effect.
Always make sure there's a toilet nearby when you eat them.

5. Dolphins, ducks, and otters are animals we know engage in necrophilia.
And I find that upsetting because otters are my favorite.

6. Researchers found a clam that was 507 years old; when they opened the shell, the animal died.
And in doing so, they killed the oldest living animal ever discovered.

7. The rescue dogs of September 11, 2001 became massively depressed because they only found dead people.
They became so sad that their trainers/owners had to hide in the wreckage so they would find someone alive.

8. Mouse traps work double.
If a mouse only eats the cheese without the trap closing, it still dies a slow, painful death; by eating the cheese, their little bodies overheat and they die anyway.

9. Puppies like squeaky toys for a very grim reason.
It triggers their hunting instinct; the squeaking sounds like prey being killed.

10. You can be as healthy as possible, there is still a possibility that you will drop dead in a few seconds due to an aneurysm.

Have a nice Sunday, huh.
