5 – Missing Bomb

  • Don’t be alarmed if you’re scuba diving on the coast of Georgia and stumble across a long-lost nuclear bomb. No wait, be alarmed. Be really, really alarmed.
  • A powerful uranium bomb had been missing somewhere in the ocean of Wassaw Sound near Savannah for fifty years. It was dropped accidentally in 1958 during a pilot training exercise that went wrong. The navy spent two months looking for the H-Bomb before they decided it was lost.
  • The bomb was found by amateur Canadian Scuba Divers in 2015, and was thankfully deactivated by a group of brave navy seals.

4 – Horny Blood Lizard

  • There is a type of lizard that has the most bizarre way of defending itself against predators.
  • This guy is called a horned lizard, and when a predator comes near it, the lizard will brutally blast a stream of blood from its eyeballs. It has an array of defense mechanisms including puffing its body up to double the size, and good old fashioned camouflage. But none of its defences work as well as the blood cannon it can shoot at other animals.
  • Apparently the blood tastes so gross it freaks the predators out for a good fifteen minutes.

3 – The Size of YouTube

1

  • Almost everyone’s uploading videos on YouTube these days, I’m sure even your dog has his own channel, but the actual amount of videos uploaded every minute is shocking.
  • Every 60 seconds, seventy-two hours worth of footage is uploaded to YouTube. That’s a lot of cat videos. It would be literally impossible for even a full team of people to watch even a fraction of all those videos.
  • Good thing you have cool channels like Planet Dolan to tell you what’s good.

2 – Hitler Hated Smoking

2

  • Adolf Hitler hated a lot of things such as human rights and fun, but a little known fact is he also really hated smoking.
  • The first ever anti-smoking campaign was run by, yes, the Nazi party. In 1939, scientists finally figured out that tobacco was a direct cause of lung cancer. Hitler wanted his extreme vision for an Aryan future to be smoke-free and banned it in cinemas and women were strictly forbidden from smoking at all.
  • Unfortunately this doesn’t make up for the fact that he was a mass-murdering racist dick-bag.

1 – Gun Crimes

2

  • If you’ve ever wondered about whether guns are essential or just a really, really unnecessary weapon, just have a look at the facts.
  • In America in 2015, there were 372 mass-shootings that resulted in 475 people dying. There was 64 school shootings. The total amount of people who died in that one year alone from guns is 13,286. That’s a lot sons and daughters who didn’t need to let their parents cry.
  • Some facts are shocking and hard to deal with, but that doesn’t make them any less real.
