383 Disturbing Facts about Our World: Shocking, Ironic or Simply Sad Pieces of Trivia

By Nayden Kostov and Pavel Kostov

Following the success of my trivia website, RaiseYourBrain, I ventured into publishing award-winning collections of unbelievable facts that have captivated hundreds of thousands of readers. Among the most talked-about sections in each book was "Disturbing Facts About Our World."
In 2020, I dedicated an entire volume to unsettling truths-grim crimes, shocking hypocrisy, bizarre medical conditions, and jaw-dropping misfortunes-all woven together with stories so strange they seem fictional. One chapter even explored COVID-19 trivia alongside other medical oddities. The response was overwhelming, leading to a second instalment in 2023. Now, the time has come for instalment number three.
I know some readers might find this avalanche of negativity intense-but facts are facts If you're curious enough to keep reading, brace yourself for trivia like: People who watch morning news are more likely to feel depressed by afternoon.81% of global executions in 2002 occurred in just three countries: the USA, China, and Iran.High cortisol levels can shrink a woman's brain.Men ejaculate sperm that was produced 2-3 months earlier.After Saudi Arabia granted women voting rights in 2015, the only country left where women cannot vote is Vatican City.Flies can breathe and survive for hours without a head.Antarctica smells like penguin poop.Some women lactate through their armpits after childbirth.Ancient Romans used mouse dung as a remedy-even for bad breath.However incredible these may sound, every entry has been verified and fact-checked. Ready to dive in? Let's begin.
