I could’ve gone my whole life without learning what a “Philly Sidecar” is.
Recently, Reddit userNo_Camera29asked, “What’s a creepy fact you wish you never learned?”
and people had some real freaky responses.
Here’s what they had to say.

I was around a lot of dead people.)”

“Yeah, a nurse friend of mine said this is true.
Some are beneficial, some harmful, and most are just along for the ride.”

“Giving birth to a child is often talked about.
Giving birth to a placenta is one thing nobody talks about.
It felt like the nurse pulled a giant squid out of my vagina super gross.
After that, she pushed my abdomen, and blood squirted out of me and sprayed her whole.
It was absolutely disgusting.”
u/derkleinewompatz
“My ex had our baby via C-section, and I watched.
u/gogozrx
“Totally normal.
Once the baby is out, they squeeze the bejesus out of your uterus to stop the bleeding.
They also have to remove all the good parts that surround the baby.
It’s not really a scrubbing; it’s more of a pulling tissue with fingers/clamps.
Then they shove that bad boy back in you, and away you go.”
They can put them in pretty much any old way, and they sort themselves out.
… you’re able to quite often feel them wriggling themselves back into position.”
u/SnooGrapes2914
“you’re able to feel that wiggling feeling after giving birth, too.
That felt like pure torture.”
Then the doctor took his hand, wiggled stuff around, and proceeded to shut the wound.
It’s never the way they show on TV.”

“Nurse here : I learned that some people will use any hole in a sexual way.
Including a surgical hole in the stomach to collect poop into a bag (a colostomy).
Additionally, some folks with these kinds of holes will advertise themselves out for the use of that hole.
How do we know?
They come in with infections in these holes and own up to the behavior.
I also learned this sexual act is called a Philly Sidecar.”

They are endemic in many parts of the world.
And I’m talking full-sized worms that look just like earthworms.
It is no cap one of the grossest things you’re able to imagine.

This happened to my 22-year-old niece yesterday.
She is in a coma now.
It’s heartbreaking."

22.Also “It’slegalto marry a corpse in France.”
So, basically, if your fiance dies, you’ve got the option to still marry them.

“The inside of a sea turtle’s mouth/throat looks like something straight out of a horror movie monster.
Absolutely covered in spines.
(They swallow a lot of seawater when eating food, which they then vomit back out.
The spines keep the food in but let the water out.)”

“Naegleria fowleri I now have a somewhat irrational fear of ponds/lakes.”
What’s Naegleria fowleri, you ask?
“Honestly, what a newborn’s horse hooves look like.
I was traumatized for months after I had just given birth myself.
Luckily, I did not have a horse baby.”

“Alot ofmy fragrances used to come from a beaver’s butt.
Castoreum is the base of many leather, animalistic, and chypre perfumes.
Its smell is similar to vanilla and comes from the anal secretion of beavers.
Since I doubt they are using catch and release, I venture to avoid it now.”

That’s pretty much what we have to hope for.
Those sons of bitches are fast.
Like, faster than you’ve got the option to imagine.
That’s not true in real life.
It hits the Earth so hard it’ll vaporize the ground it touches and itself.
Hitting with such force, the ground moves like you threw a boulder into a lake.
Waves of Earth become fluid and destroy everything in a massive flux of destruction."
“But what’s really scary is that it’s cold.
It’scold untilit hits some punch in of atmosphere from a planet or space body.
Because it’s cold, it’s hard to detect by just pointing instruments into space.
Unless we are specifically looking for it, we won’t see it.
We won’t know that we’re about to all die.
That’s why movies have people discovering it by accident.
Because the chances of us finding it on purpose are not good.
Add-on: This has gotten a bunch of attention, and I do see some people freaking.
There is some good news in regard to this.
Moon craters, not just for our moon, show the impact of previous asteroids.
Planets have already been bombarded by the stuff floating about.
So, while the chances aren’t 0, they are fairly low.
Also, we are a really small planet.
Literally a pale blue dot even before you leave the solar system.
And damn near invisible once you leave the solar system.”
