Humans are naturally curious beings. It's just innate in us.

In fact, it's this curiosity that got us to where we are now. It led us to discover science, technology, agriculture, and so much more.

Before though, people had to gain this information by trial and error and experiments. Nowadays, you can find almost everything on the internet.

If you want to know who was the longest living human or what creatures lie in the deepest pits of the ocean, you can find it all on the internet. Whether it's about history, psychology, or even just weird bits of information, everything is on the internet for us to devour.

This is quite amazing since we all get access to this information at the very tips of our fingers. It doesn't mean it's always a fun experience though.

While there are plenty of amazing and interesting facts out there, there are some things that aren't so fun to know about. They can be horrifying, they can be sad, and some might even be a little traumatizing.

Facts are facts though. And well, there's really nothing that can stop human curiosity even with not-so-fun facts.

It seems we just have a weird interest in them. On Reddit, someone asked what were the not-so-fun facts people discovered, and well, Redditors delivered.

Here are some of the best ones:

1. It doesn't mean they're bad parents though, right?

2. As if our tummies aren't weird enough already

3. Please tell us you're kidding

4. Oh no the poor pups!

5. That is so not nice to know

6. That sounds painful!

7. So every time we drink coffee, there is also a 99% chance we're drinking dead cockroach

8. Mental health should be taken a lot more seriously!

9. So there is something sinister behind that cute smile

10. It's scary to know we aren't in full control of our brains

11. Not so cute now

12. What a fun way to go

13. Thank goodness we're not flatworms

14. So that's why it seems like they can read minds

15. A bit dramatic but we don't want to experience it ourselves

16. They love hearing the sound of pain

17. Tapeworms and cancer, what a combination

18. Will make you think twice about those bathroom habits

19. We think modern day sicknesses are enough

20. Those little buggers just are up to no good, aren't they?

21. You basically become a living statue

22. Why would anyone do this and how the heck did people know this?

23. That's just mean

24. The cure doesn't sound encouraging

25. So basically a third of the world's population will be dead by 2070

26. Weird but now we want to know what it smells like

27. Just a bit of negligence and we're going to have another pandemic in our hands

34. Oh dear, that does not bode well for the country's reputation

35. So we're basically torturing them to their deaths every time we bring them up to the surface

36. And some people still think global warming is just a myth

Some of these were quite fascinating to know. The others, well, we just have to store them in that little box in the back of our brains that we hope will never burst open.

This is what you get when you spend too much time on the internet though. Serves us kind of right for all that procrastinating maybe.
