https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru_cataclysm
The Nibiru cataclysm is a supposed disastrous encounter between the Earth and a large planetary object (either a collision or a near-miss) which certain groups believe will take place in the early 21st century. Believers in this doomsday event usually refer to this object as Nibiru or Planet X.

I have watched 2012 and it gave me chills.

Edith Macefield (August 21, 1921 – June 15, 2008) was a real estate holdout who received worldwide attention in 2006 when she turned down an offer widely reported as $1 million to sell her house to make way for a commercial development in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] (originally reported as a package worth $750,000).[8] Instead, the five-story project was built surrounding her 108-year-old farmhouse, where she died at age 86 in 2008

Thousands of them. But some of them don't want to say anything because they don't want to cause mass hysteria, others are pressured by the government not to say anything or else their lives lives are at stake, others have been killed already by the government. There are a host of other reasons why thousands of scientists would keep this under wraps without one breaking ranks.

Nibiru is definitely Top 5. I love how the article claims what will happen in 2012 as if the fact is still not passed.

The idea was first put forward in 1995 by Nancy Lieder,[2][3] founder of the website ZetaTalk. Lieder describes herself as a contactee with the ability to receive messages from extraterrestrials from the Zeta Reticuli star system through an implant in her brain.
Sounds legit

-kept her in darkness
-beaten for ever emitting sound
-malnourished to the point that she looked 6-7yo when she was 13


Fritzl
-self described as "born to rape"
-began raping daugher when she was 11 and imprisoned her at 18
-forced prisoners to excavate dirt with bare hands to expand their cell
-cell was dirty and moldy enough that jurors recoiled when they smelled items taken out of it

I read the entire thing but somehow missed that last detail. I thought one especially ****ed up part was that he asked his daughter to help put up the door that he then used to imprison her.

Can you cite any credible references for any of these claims? Give me a couple of names of scientists who have been killed by the government.

You sound like a typical conspiracy theorist.

You thought that was the one especially ****ed up part??

Genie's dad hated noise and forced the entire family to live in the dark in total silence or he beat them. He spent his days sitting in his dark, silent living room with a shotgun on his lap. Oh and also he killed the first 2 babies (threw one in the garage in winter to freeze to death, the other 'choked on his own mucus' (probably because he wasn't being silent). It hardly seems worth mentioning but he also blamed his son for the death of his mother because he was walking with her when she was killed in a hit and run. And also he blew his brains out while his son was waiting outside to drive him to court. That kid surely had some issues too. I stand by my WOAT ranking.

"The one especially ****ed up part" and "one especially ****ed up part" is actually a big pretty big difference.

yeah i know but it was funnier to willfully misinterpret your sentence. I do think it's kind of strange that you chose to comment on the least ****ed up detail in the entire story tho but no big deal.

It's far from the least ****ed up detail in the entire story. I think it shows that the guy took pleasure in ruining his daughter's life, shows absolutely no remorse and was also likely intentionally playing psychological games with her torturing.

I also think that the more abhorrent acts like killing his first two babies are not "details" but to each their own.

Here's a macabre one for you all:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffin_birth

A coffin birth, or postmortem fetal extrusion, is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a dead woman giving birth to a baby.

It's an interesting article because the situation is very rare, so while there is a decent comparison between normal child birth and this, no one is really sure why this happens in some cases and not others. It's more archeology than daily occurrence.

Although other probes were launched first, Voyager 1 has achieved a higher speed and overtaken all others. Voyager 1 overtook Voyager 2 a few months after launch, on 19 December 1977. It overtook Pioneer 11 in 1983, and then Pioneer 10—becoming the probe farthest from Earth—on February 17, 1998.

I wonder how long Voyager 1 will continue to be the furthest man-made object from the sun.

Nothing we've ever launched will catch it and it's already got a 41 year head start on anything we would launch now.

threr is a chance that we blew a steel plate into space in 1957, but we will never know for sure

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operat...teel_plate_cap


During the Pascal-B nuclear test, a 900-kilogram (2,000 lb) steel plate cap (a piece of armor plate) was blasted off the top of a test shaft at a speed of more than 66 km/s (41 mi/s; 240,000 km/h; 150,000 mph). Before the test, experimental designer Dr. Brownlee had estimated that the nuclear explosion, combined with the specific design of the shaft, would accelerate the plate to approximately six times Earth's escape velocity.[8] The plate was never found
