Feed Your Brain With These Fascinating Facts

After WW2 the Japanese Admiral who invented the idea of kamikaze pilots committed ritual suicide, seppuku, as an apology. After cutting through his abdomen he refused the customary beheading, instead slowly dying over several hours

Ōnishi committed ritual suicide (seppuku) in his quarters on 16 August 1945, following the unconditional surrender of Japan at the end of World War II. His suicide note apologized to the approximately 4,000 pilots whom he had sent to their deaths, and urged all young civilians who had survived the war to work towards rebuilding Japan and peace among nations. He also stated that he would offer his death as a penance to the kamikaze pilots and their families. Accordingly, he did not use a kaishakunin (a second who executes him by beheading), and died of self-inflicted injuries over a period of 15 hours.

Confessions Of A Woman In Iran Protesting Against The Regime

Do you think this is the revolution?

We know there is no going back. I’ve never seen a revolution so I don’t know.

We had many protests but they didn’t like this. They are afraid. They called every possible person that accept to fight in the street. I saw with my own eyes that they just teach some teen boys basic stuff about how to suppress people and on the same day they send them to the streets to fight with people.

50-year-old poet, Ant Smith, has been ridiculed for most of his life because of his one-inch penis.

Smith revealed that because of this, he had very low self-esteem. Now, he is speaking out about issues surrounding the topic of micropenises, and is encouraging others with the same fate to be happy with their manhood.

In an interview with This Morning, Smith shared that a micropenis is usually at least 2.5 standard deviations smaller than the average human penis when erect, which is less than 2.7 inches compared to the mean erection size of 5 inches.

Despite the ridicule and mockery Smith has received, he decided to speak out about living with a micropenis rather than shy away from it.

What are some tactics that Russian troll farms are using online to defend the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

Whataboutism: What about what the west did in Syria/Afghanistan/Iraq? They are no place to judge.”
Why it’s illogical: Implies justification of Party X’s past actions for Party Y’s current actions. You can and should criticize more than one thing, but the conversation at hand is Russia invading Ukraine. Also there seems to be little accountability in the case of Russia in its extreme amount of war crimes.

An experienced parachutist filmed his own two-mile death plunge after he fell from an airplane without realizing he had no parachute.

April 6, 1988: LOUISBURG, N.C. (AP) – A tired parachutist’s fatigue and his preoccupation with videotaping other jumpers could have led him to leap from a plane without a chute, plummeting 10,500 feet to his death, an acquaintance says.

The death of Ivan Lester McGuire was accidental, although ″a man who has jumped 800 times ought to remember his parachute,″ said Franklin County Sheriff’s Capt. Ralph Brown.

(photo: @olivia_snow)

In Christian theology, the sexual act is an icon of the Trinity and of the saving relationship between Jesus and the Church.

It is an icon of the Trinity because God is a communion of persons, who all completely give of their entire selves to each other. The person of the Father subsumes his entire existential being and substance to beget the Son, who, composed of the same divine essence, gives back the same total self-giving love in turn to sustain the Father. This total self giving of two divine persons begets the holy Spirit, who is interpreted to be the love between the Father and Son that is shared between them.
