The woman who got burnt by a McDonald’s coffee, she was genuinely injured because it was way to hot to drink. People thought she was just doing it for the money, she just wanted Macdonald’s to pay for the medical bills, that all.
Worst part is she was forced to sign a NDA in order to get the money she was awarded because MacDonald's kept giving her the run around on paying (after they already did everything in their power to stretch out the original lawsuit and got the amount reduced on appeal) and she really need the money to pay the hospital and couldn't wait anymore. So she couldn't even defend herself.
To be honest, I’m still rather skeptical on that one. Not so much on her motives, but on how much you can blame the restaurant/MacDonald’s.
I believe it was a rather elderly lady? But to not realize a coffee is piping hot when it must feel really hot in your hands already?
@@milton7763 Mc Donald's had already been sued and lost several times over the temperature (30 degrees over the industry standard hot enough to melt skin) they kept the coffee at. McDonalds took her to court knowing they did not have a leg to stand on as previous judges had already ruled the coffee an unsafe good (she was assigned 30% of the blame but that doesn't change that the coffee was unsafe in the first place).
She literal offered to settle for her medical bills at first and latter medicals bills and legal fee's. McDonalds refused every time.
The Judge awarded damages punitive which is a mechanism designed to punish one side for bad behaviour. That was the millions everyone talks about this had nothing to do with her and everything to do with McDonalds bad behaviour.
I had a mandatory Corporate Law class that held this case as a what not to do if you are sued.
I know people pull the "got ya" with that one all the time and how it was too hot and sure I agree McDonald's is somewhat culpable as well but being in a moving car holding a styrofoam container of hot liquid between your thighs while you're wearing sweatpants isn't that bright either. I think there was at least some fault that was hers still.
@@ironwolf56 ya court said 30% of the blame was hers but spills are a foreseeable hazard of hot drinks and Mc Donalds had already been told to reduce the temperature after several other people had been hurt and sued.
They couldn't pretend they didn't know an accident like that wasn't inevitable when they knew how dangerous the coffee was.
The intire case was Mc Donald wasted everyone else's time and money when they knew that what ever reduction they got was going to be far less that what they paid in legal fee. It was clear during the case the real strategy was to make the whole thing so expensive and frustrating that she'd give up. (didn't work cause her lawyer knew they win eventually so agreed to wait to be payed).
There is no defending McDonald's here they where knowing selling an unsafe product and when someone inevitably got badly hurt instead of just paying the reasonable settlement request they spent a fortune (far more than the settlement amount) dragging the case out in court and dragging her name threw the mud out of what can only be discribed as spite.
When I was at my grandma's condo I was struggling to breath and my dad thought I was being a hypochondriac, turns out it was black mold in the AC

I don’t know if they’re going to include this one but I want to put it in now just because it’s the one that makes me the most sad… The first person to ever recognize that pathogens were a thing and that they were able to be spread from one person to another died of blood poisoning because they were cut whilst being restrained and put into a psychiatric facility because nobody believed their theory and thought he had become crazily obsessed.
Everybody probably went “Oh crap he was so right that he proved how right he was by dying while simultaneously proving that he was right.”
Ignaz Sammelweis, if I've spelled it correctly. Doctors would come straight from dissecting diseased corpses in the morgue and deliver babies, giving the mothers and infants infections. Women would rather deliver in the street than in his hospital. His doctor friend cut himself during an autopsy, contracted the same disease as the dead man, and died. Ignaz realized there was probably a connection, and eventually through exhaustive data collection proved that washing hands and changing soiled clothing brought the rate of infection down to the same level as the midwifes' wing, where the midwives never did autopsies. He had data that it worked, that proved that contamination lead to infection and that washing prevented it. The scientific community laughed at him. He became depressed, because he was only asking them to wash their filthy hands to save lives, and they laughed at him. He was committed to an insane asylum, and when he realized where they were taking him, he resisted and was injured and taken anyway. He died there. Because a bunch of the most educated people in the world couldn't accept the data and try it for themselves and let their bias kill people. Scientists are people; people are selfish.
@@annana6098 thx for the history lesson!
Are you talking about Ignaz Semmelweis? He was indeed put into a psychiatric facility - because he developed severe psychiatric problems late in life. Nothing to do with his later proven ideas about hand-washing.
It's Semmelweis
My mum when she was pregnant with me. Dad and her lived on the 5th floor of a house that had a backyard with a small cellar apartment to it (aka house, then square shaped backyard and opposite of the house in the yard, cear apartment - this is important).
One day, my mum started smelling something horribly rotten. Rotting flesh. No one else but her could smell it. Everyone said she was crazy, it was just her pregnancy hormones, all that. Weeks go by, my mum is going nuts with the stench that no one else could smell, telling everyone something dead was rotting away, getting hersef checked out at the hospital in fear that she had some kind of tumor or whatever.
6 WEEKS later, others finally started smelling it as well and the police was called. They investigated and discovered that the elderly man who had lived in that cellar apartment in the yard had died from old age related issues weeks ago. His body was highly decomposed. My mum had been smelling his rotting corpse for 6 weeks and no one believed her until now. I do feel sorry for the old man, one of my greatest personal fears is dying alone, never being found and just rotting away.
Yeah pregnant women get crazy sense of smell.
@@jessicajayes8326 Really?
@@danokoji3567 yes, really
My wife's friend had a similar incident when she moved into a new apartment. Starting getting headaches and erratic behavior claiming something was wrong. No one believed her until they found a meth lab in the apartment below hers.

Here is a story I think should stand out. A small Japanese city called Fudai built a tsunami wall in 1970s at the instance of the mayor. The mayor (Mr. Wamura) was ridiculed and laughed at for the waste of money but Mr. Wamura knew how the sea could change. Come the tsunami of 2011 the town was barely touched thanks to the wall that Mr. Wamura was critized for building.
I'm glad someone mentioned Cassandra. That's why I call these people Children of Cassandra. It must be a cursed existance.
Not necessarily. My sister was born brain damaged and with abnormal kidneys--our mom while pregnant with her was exposed to radioactive smoke released in northern St. Louis slums. My sister is a happy, joyous, loving person. The people responsible for doing this--karma is patient, they'll get what's coming to them, one way or another.
0:17 that's just a terrible way to go, being so passionate about your profession that you fight for your discovery to be acknowledged to the point of dying for it, and when finally someone proves you right, not being there to receive your recognition (and apology) in person
Back in the early 2000s I was living on a friends couch we would have other friend over alot and we would play pc games like counter strike and day of defeat . We'll one day my friend woke me up and told me I have to leave before he kills me because he checked his Internet history and found loads of dodgy Web searches involving children. He said it must be me in insisted it wasn't and pointed out one of our other friends had used his pc alot . Anyway fast forward 4 years and he calls me up in tears crying about how he fucked up and he was sorry for blaming me . Turns out the friend I said it was had just been arrested with his dad for sexual assaulting his younger sister starting at the age of 7 and it all coming out when she was 15 when he got her pregnent last I heard he was still in jail and I haven't spoken to those friends in nearly 15 years . The downside to this is they told my family I was a pedophile and most of them disowned me including my dad

Back in 1968 had an 8th grade history teacher who said,"the next world War would be economics." He also said while we had never been attacked in in the USA, someday it will happen. When 911 happened, I sure thought about Mr. King. Didnt realize how smart he was until years later. RIP. MR. KING.
Can’t say that I’m blown away: we will get attacked some day? Yeah, of course, at some undefined point in the future that is bound to happen. I can predict for you now that one day...the USA will cease to exist! 😮
Also not quite sure what World War Economics is supposed to mean. You mean trade wars? Yeah, those happen all the time. Globalization was already well underway in 1968. And I don’t see any worldwide economic war going on.
China is an enemy cause they were cheating at the trading war. Trump saw this & had a plan to make China comply with the rules
On the Radium girls, it really is another case of female illnesses not being taken as seriously. My gf just got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and the battle she is fighting to get NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) assistance here is depressing. When she was exclaiming "why?" One time I couldn't help but answer the obvious truth. "Because the gender ratio of people affected by it is 20:1."
Fibromyalgia is still believed to not be a real disease/affliction. So much pain, especially with women, is believed to be exaggerated or a mentality problem. It's sad.
That's not how any of this works
@@Lvl18Meep Which part? Doctors downplaying and not believing the pain and damage of illnesses that predominantly or exclusively affect women?
Because it is very well documented.
How the NDIS works?
Because today leaked documents relieved our right wing government secretly added a whole chapter and greatly changed others to an 'independent' review in order to make it harder for people to go on the system.
Or was there a different part?
@@Lvl18Meep How does it work then?
There's a few things I've unfortunately been right about , but here's 2. When I was 16, I had been dealing with this horrible pain in my abdomen that only continued to get worse over the course of a month. One night, I couldn't sleep because of the pain. My mom was the only one who thought I wasn't faking. Turns out my appendix had ruptured. I was in the hospital for 4 days and was told I was 3 hours away from dying. I went in Christmas Eve morning around 2am. When I got out, they gave me more than enough pain medicine. I barely took any because I didn't want to become dependant. (This was years before they cut back on giving oxycodone and Percocet out like candy.)
2nd case was recently at work. A guy I knew from high school got promoted to management. I warned everyone he wasn't a good fit, and that it was only a matter of time. He resigned maybe a month after his promotion due to allegations from an underage girl (between 15 and 17) of sexual harassment.
"All of my enemies are dead so i have no one to gloat over" so he won by default first and was then proven right. Glorious.
I went through the exact same thing as 25:25
Always in pain, no answers, people thinking I'm making it up for attention.
I was later diagnosed with the exact same thing the most satisfying thing is that I no longer feel as if I'm going crazy. I was actually convinced that I was making up my pain at one point.
Are you a woman? That might explain it, I’ve seen that doctors mostly point the pain from woman to exaggeration and such.
I have bad anxiety, so the beginning of the pandemic last year triggered it quite a bit. One of my professors at the time was immunocompromised and extremely on top of the news, so he regularly spent major chunks of class time keeping us updated and it wasn't helping. Add that to my generally good intuition and I was an anxious mess who could barely focus on my studies. This was back in February-ish, before the pandemic had really spread to the US. One day I was getting lunch with some not really close friends and one of their classmates when the classmate accused everyone who was panicking of racism (again, it was still mostly confined to China at the time iirc, though it had started to kind of spread). I mentioned that I was starting to get a little freaked out by it, and he called me paranoid and kind of laughed at me. One of the friends tried to cover for me by saying that I wasn't afraid of a pandemic, I just didn't want to get sick.
The next time I saw either of them was after spring break when we were moving out of the dorms because the university had to send us home. I was equal parts vindicated and horrified.
My friends constantly tried to get me into shane dawson videos but even though I like to listen to conspiracy for fun I felt weirded out about him.
I actually liked Shane Dawson's video, but he is weird to me. And all conspiracy theorists are weird, but he's just off in a different way.
There’s some dark stuff in many of
His earlier TH-cam videos. A lot of inappropriate content/language/references/ and even ACTIONS that were ped0phile in nature. Including one with his own underage 1st cousin. Also, some very disturbing videos with his animals that some might label as “Be@stiality”
Yup. Same here. Had friends who watched him all the time, but I never did.
Oh my goodness I related so hard to the Ehlers Danlos story. They thought I was crazy for years. My joints would do awful things and I'd go to specialist after specialist and they'd all say it was in my head or it was my emotions manifesting in a physical way. Never have I felt so vindicated than I did when I finally got a diagnosis
Hope you're feeling better now. I understand how painful joint issues can be.
Same with my sister. Thought for 20 years she was faking tooth pain. Finally technology cought up and they located a cyst right at a nerve under a tooth. Sister was soooo relieved.
I’d been saying the same thing about Apple for years as well. Didn’t know there were people naive enough not to see it
I"m more shocked people are still suprised by this.
Same also for their peripheral products: not only do they keep changing the ports so you need to buy overpriced shit ($40 for a charger that probably costs them $0.50-$1 to make), but also the material protecting the cables starts to decompose after max 2 years
I hate Apple. I also hate Microsoft.
COVID. I remember telling everybody when they were first reporting COVID all the way back in December 2019 that I was worried it had the potential to become a pandemic (for the record, I'm not a medical professional or expert in any way) and all my friends and family just laughed at me.
Four months later, nobody was laughing anymore. And over a year since that, we're still not laughing.
My BFF was having an affair with an old friend of hers and I had really bad feeling about it. I told her that something was wrong, that she was going to fast, and that it was going to end badly. She said that I was just jealous. He wanted her to come over one weekend but it was her anniversary. While she and her husband were celebrating, affair guy committed suicide. My BFF found out when she got home and got on the book of faces. She blamed herself for a long time because she didn't go to him that weekend. In my opinion she wouldn't be here with either if she had went.
I legit didn't know the "a dingo ate my baby" line actually happened. I just thought it was a meme this whole time.
I didn't even know it existed
@@madkirk7431 same lmao
Its true. And the fact it got turned into a meme is disgusting.
The NT state government (and by extension the NT police) and the media conspired to frame Lindsey Chamberlain for a murder she did not commit: they ignored actual evidence and witness testimony, got unqualified people to testify bollocks about dingo physiology, bungled the forensic investigation so badly they id'd choccy milk as infant blood, and spread rumours about the couple being Satanists conducting ritual killings.
Why? Because if people knew that wild dingoes posed a legitimate danger to children and infants, it would negatively impact tourism to the area, and they valued money over truth. So they framed a grieving woman for murder and sent her to jail for life, before 3 years later some assclown fell of the side of Uluru and the search party for his body found a dingo den with a torn and blood stained baby coat at its entrance........
I heard of it but I never realized it was true
it actually happened and it's disrespectful for it to be a joke/meme

@Dalton Black guy, relax. My comment isn't anti Male, it's just off topic. Oops
@@misscyanic2484
It's not entirely off topic. Somewhere on this thread I did a rant about both sides. Men can be "snipped" as an outpatient visit, and don't need to ask anyone's approval. Women have to wait, get hubby's/parental permission, and even then the doctor will try to talk them out of it. Part of this is that it is SO much harder to undo the "snipping" when done on a woman (and it's a more serious procedure). So many things are easier for guys, and it can be vexing. Most of those young males getting "snipped" can have it undone later, if they change their minds. A woman who gets a hysterectomy done? Not so much.
@@cchastant8251 yes, there's big difference between a hysterectomy & a tubal ligation procedure. And those are far different from a vasectomy. I won't beat you over the head w why they're all different
@Dalton Black
I am curious about your statement about it being called 'bending the law,' however. What do you mean?
25:06 I can relate to this. I’ve had chronic pain since elementary school but all the doctors I saw said it was psychosomatic or that I was making it up for attention. I am now about to graduate high school and I’m in the best mental state that’s ever been in and I still have severe pain. My parents finally believe there’s something actually wrong (all signs and symptoms point to something autoimmune) and hopefully the new doctor I’m switching to helps me
@Tanmay Sharma G7 thank you I appreciate it
No one believes me either

My mom's friend had a "girlfriend", he said it was nothing serious, that he was just spending some nights with her, but my mom noticed she was like really in love. She told him "She's gonna get pregnant so you don't leave her" and he didnt believe her. Guess what? He told my mom she was going to have a baby when she had like 7 months pregnant because he was ashamed my mom was right. (Sorry if my english is messy)

Used to think my Grandpa on my dads side and my dad were crazy, said the US government covered up one of the worst nuclear accidents in the United States at the time.

And for the record I still think my dads crazy, in spite of being one of the smartest folks I know.
i had been a chronic bed wetter my whole life up until i was almost was like 18/19 (im currently 21)

Pedro Albizu Campos, aka "the King of the Towels"- graduated top of his class from Harvard law school and spoke six languages.
He was a leader of the Puerto Rican nationalist movement in the mid-1900's, and was imprisoned for his role in the uprising. While in prison he would tell people about how he thought he was being attacked by radiation in his cell at night, how he could see colored rays of light aimed at him, and he would cover himself in damp towels to protect himself.
The officials claimed he was crazy. The prison warden went on national television and discredited Campos as being insane. Instead of letting doctors in to treat his physical conditions, they had two psychiatrists see him and proclaim that he was suffering from “an interpretive psychosis,” “overtones of paranoia” and “hallucinations of all his five senses.”
Eventually, they let a doctor (a radiologist who had traveled all the way from Cuba) in to see him. He was covered in sores. He was seeing colors melting down the walls.
He had all the symptoms of extreme radiation poisoning, and the doctor said so. A geiger counter was placed next to his head and it clicked so wildly that it broke.
Decades later, the documents were declassified, and the truth came out that Campos was subjected to total body irradiation by the US gov while in captivity.
He was right all along.

I always suspected that my Gramps was more than just boots on the ground during WW2 and afterwards. As example, at work functions, Gramps would be in serious conversation with a small group of "co-workers" in hushed tones. They would all stop talking if anyone approached them. Gramps would have to "go out of town on business" for a few weeks with no notice. Gramps had a Japanese neighbor that he was good friends with. Gramps had several passports, some from other countries. I could go on. There is more, but I want to get to the point. A few years ago, I went to visit my Mom. I asked Mom about my theory.

My wife's best friend got engaged to a man who was pretty well off. So when he got a job in Colorado she went with him. They got an apartment, and since he made good money, they decided she didn't have to work. Being in a new city she didn't have any friends and they only had one car so she happily stayed at home all day as a dutiful house wife.
Things were going great for a few weeks until she started to get dizzy and have head aches. She told her fiancé so he took her to the ER but they could not find anything wrong. She continued to have these symptoms for a few more weeks and even started to have drastic mood swings. They would intensify over time but subside mostly in the evenings. More trips to the ER, but again nothing seemed to be physically wrong with her. Her fiancé and the doctors soon began to tell her it was in her head, that it's just the stress of being in a new city away from her family for the first time. She denied this and kept claiming there was something wrong.
After about 3 months of this the stress of this started to take a toll on the relationship. She became more erratic and he kept missing more time from his new job. Until finally he said that he wanted to end things and she should go back home. She pleaded with him to believe her, swearing she wasn't crazy, but he'd had enough and ended it. She relented but refused to stay in the apartment until she could leave. So he booked her a hotel room and said she could stay there until he packed her things and would drive her back to her hometown.
Well, the next day he got a call at work stating there was an explosion at his apartment building. He rushed over to find the place surrounded not only by fire and EMS, but also police. Namely narcotics officers. It turns out the people in the apartment below theirs were cooking meth. They only did it during the day while most people were at work. My wife's friend who stayed home all day was inhaling the fumes which is why she was the only one effected.
I thought you were going to say she was breathing a gas leak but similar lol. Hopefully she still broke up with that man since he wouldn't believe her.

My dad collecting toilet paper like three years before the pandemic. We were worried he was starting to lose his marbles because he said “one day toilet paper will be a valuable commodity.” It was kinda embarrassing. But a month after he died, the first Covid case was discovered and toilet paper became a valuable commodity. He used to talk about “shit hitting the fan one day” and lo and behold, he was right.
The "Dingo took my baby" Lady was Lindy Chamberlain. The event took place at Uluru (Ayers rock) i the Northern Territory, Australia. She served time for a crime she did not commit. The N.T. was a bit of a back woods back at the time, and its incompetent police messed up the investigation so badly, they mistook automotive paint for blood inside the vehicle where the supposed incident took place. The movie with Meryl Streep putting on the (worst) Australian accent ever heard screaming ä dingo's got moy Bay-bey stands as perhaps one of the most cringe worthy moments in film history.

I explained to her that I just had H1N1 and that I’m feeling similar to that, she told me to wait and left the room. It was very quiet so I could hear her laughing with another admin about how “this girl thinks she has swine flu, she’s just faking it we all know that doesn’t exist” I got upset and called my mom and she came to pick me up and take me to the doctor.

It's a shame when you're a woman with endometriosis, or severely painful periods in general. I personally can't take hormonal birth control because all of them make me violently ill, and they're not going to prescribe prescription pain meds. But of course, my pain isn't _that bad_ , I'm just a young woman seeking drugs and being dramatic
I've heard this story so much that whenever someone says they have abnormally painful, heavy, or long periods I suggest they look into that. I wish I had known about it back in highschool, what one girl told me sounded similar. Back to then we all just looked at her with confusion when she told us how long here's lasted and said "that's not normal. That's not right at all." I can only hope that over the years she got that looked into.
@@LadyBern Yes it should be looked into. I had periods for 3 weeks long hardly a break. Ended up getting surgery and have been period free for 10 years. It's been great!
Me. Everyone thought I was crazy for saying I was dying and that there was something wrong with our water that was causing it. Literally couldn't step into the house without feeling like shit. Turned out there was arsenic, iron, and radon in the water and a mold problem we didn't know about. It ended screwing my heart up and I'm still trying to fix the consequences of all the health problems that caused to this day.
Also Tommy Robinson. His own cousin was molested by grooming gangs and all the media in the UK demonized him as a vile racist even though his family has been directly victimized by the gangs the British government has covered up and in some cases took part in. There was even a Labour politician who was arrested for taking part in grooming one of the children. If you think the US government is fucked the UK is on a whole different level.
Lindy and Michael Chamberlain (May he Rest In Peace) were the Australians who had their baby, Azaria Chamberlain, taken by a dingo. Such a travesty of justice.
My grandfather knew an elder at the time who said that Michael was originally accused with Lindy by his people and that they provoked the dingo as law permits by camping in a sacred site.
@@havanadaurcy1321 They closed the camp ground after the incident, but of course, it was after the event.
lol lowkey me xD idk why but whenever i open my mouth people wont believe the information i regurgitate because sometimes even i'll admit, these facts are wild and i retain the weirdest subjects. but i always say, go ahead and fact check me. 98% of the time the fact is correct and they stare at me like i'm an alien. but in the end..... i was right lolol
People have given up fact checking me when I state something like that. I never speak up unless I'm completely sure I'm right. Turns out I'm always right as a result. (I'm plenty wrong, but they just don't know it because I don't say anything unless I'm completely sure I'm correct.)
The tree fact actually kind of shocked me but that's cool
There's an entire episode of the new Magic School Bus show specifically about this. (or was it the original show? I don't remember...)
For me I'd say the Monk, forgot the name and century, who proved the earth orbited the sun rather then everything orbiting the earth.
He was burned at the stake because he refused to recant his claims, dying for what he knew was right.
I didn't like Armstrong or Woods. Both of them seemed so.... controlled and exacting about themselves and their image that it seemed clear to me that they were hiding things. I don't get how others can see when people are like that.
Never liked either of them they seemed like full of shit from the beginning.
Ignaz Semmelweis said that surgeons must wash their hands before and after surgery, but instead of doing it, surgeons called him crazy because they believe that they saved people and don't kill their patients. and because of his idea, the guy went to a mental institution for it. After his death, Scottish surgeon Joseph Lister also propelled the idea of sanitizing hands and surgical instruments to halt infectious diseases. His ideas had their critics, too. in the 1870s, physicians now started regularly scrubbing up before surgery.
Edit: since when did this chat become Christian or something?
It was roman catholics, not Christians
@Sufiya H. when they're not burning down libraries and conducting massacres in Christ's name they're killing people for wiping their arse 🤔 classic servants of the all loving god who's full of forgiveness and grace (but mostly shit)
@@Jabberwockybird is the RC church not christian now?
@Sufiya H. Maybe the term "Christian" is too broad in this day and age. But there are definitely followers of Jesus who realize that they (as humans) are messed up and need Jesus. Yes, hypocrites need Jesus too. So it's no surprise there are hypocrites in the churches
@@Mercury-Wells Everything bad you mentioned was committed by the Roman Catholic church. A human created organization (lead by the Pope, not Christ) There have always been people who have gone against that institution throughout history, no matter how large it got. Please don't confuse it with real Christianity which teaches that everyone is bad, everyone is messed up and God (not the pope) offered a way to clean up the mess.
I have a similar story to the last one. I had chronic pain in my left wrist that would flare up and go down again, with no obvious inflammation or swelling, and it was not only painful but getting in the way of my doing my university coursework. So, I pursued a diagnosis with my GP, and the specialist, and kept getting fobbed off and told it was tennis elbow, or a fracture that never healed right (I have never broken a bone. Literally never. And I was a very active kid with dyspraxia -- if you know, you know how much of a miracle that is). Soon, because nothing he said explained the problem and because none of the treatments he prescribed worked, the specialist started saying it was "all in my head", and "it can't be that bad, because you came to your appointment dressed in clothes" -- in clothes, I ask you! He even managed to convince my grandmother that it was all in my head and that I couldn't have it "that bad" because there were "real disabled people" with "real problems". Anyway, I asked for a second opinion, went to a different specialist, and five years after the problem first started, he found a cyst in one of the bones in my wrist, expanding and shrinking over the last five years and causing the problem. One outpatient surgery under local anaesthetic later and it was all fixed. I nearly needed a bone graft, but it was all fixed in the end.
How's that for "all in my head"?
That one guy who thought 'hey, more women are dying in the hospital-run maternity ward compared to the midwives, why is that? " then went on to hypothesize 'perhaps it's the doctors going straight from autopsy to assisting women giving birth without cleaning themselves?" he went to the doctors and said "hey maybe you should wash your hands?" but they just got angry at him and told him to fuk off. Eventually, he was thrown into an asylum where he was beaten to death by the gaurds.
As a general note to all the science related storys. Science doesn't care about who you are or what your hypothesis is. It only cares about you being able to prove it with sufficient evidence. Sidenote: if something is called a theory in science it means that it's proven to the highest degree possible at the time. New evidence may overthrow even a theory but it's highly unlikely due to the standards of evidence needed to call it a theory in the first place.
to be fair, the "dingo ate my baby" lady took her less than 6 month old baby camping and left the baby unsupervised. while she didn't kill her baby, she was negligent.
Does anyone else ever think about how weird it would be to meet someone from the future, and then notice them acting on ideas that everyone thinks are crazy right now?
The "dingo ate my baby" lady.
Yes, she was convicted of killing her child & later released when proper investigation was done. I believe she served 9 years & it certainly killed her marriage. Her name was Lindy Chamberlin.
Anyone else thinking that he stopped it on that last one so people wouldn't stop halfway through the video on the way to look up Ehlers Danlos Syndrome? Btw looked it up. It's pretty rare with about 200,000 cases USA.
I knew about half in the paragraph because I watch the channel of a girl with EDS (Jessica kellgren-fozard).
Lots of people think chronic illnesses like this are just the imagination of the person, and it's hard to be taken seriously.
@@KarolYuuki Honestly I think a brain scan would help a lot of people. The pain center of the brain is pretty distinctive. Plus the lying portion would light up to show intentional deception. At least this way the patient could be taken seriously. Especially women
Before I watch the video my answer is: Disney Villains
Or people who have been saying "Disney is evil" since the 1990s
C. Y. O'connor, engineer who built the Western Australian Perth-to-Kalgoorlie pumped-water pipeline in 1900 - 1903. The newspapers ridiculed him, saying it would never work & he was incompetent. They kept the pressure on him & he killed himself shortly before the first of the water reached Kalgoorlie. RIP CY. You did good.
with John snow it was the well on broad street, solo in England. Joseph Bazalgette created the sewers under London that took contaminated water to the sea, both worked to get rid of cholera but they never met.
I was convinced my mom was following me and everyone thought I was crazy. It turns out she was for over a year and I'm NOT delusional (so thanks for feeding me antipsychotics @dearest dcfs)
I once asked my biology teacher if there could be sections of DNA that were never activated. He said they would be eliminated by evolution. There are two types: introns, and intergenic regions.
Ludwig Boltzmann was neither ridiculed nor ignored. Yes, there was some debate about his ideas - as there is (quite rightly) in any new field - but he mostly carried the day. Boltzmann saw matter as the chief building-block of the universe, whilst others, notably Wilhelm Ostwald, believed it was energy. Boltzmann won the argument, and Ostwald was later instrumental in obtaining a professorship for Boltzmann in Leipzig.
Boltzmann's suicide was down to his (undiagnosed) bi-polarity.
1 thing about war is: when the devil's hungry his people make sure he's fed.
I too noticed that planned obsolescence in iphones. I didn't bother posting or telling people, but it was EXTREMELY obvious. After each update the phone grew suddenly worse, it wasn't even a gradual change.
Me, over something stupid, It was Star Wars. In 1983, I said, "This entire thing will end with Luke moving to a deserted island, and committing suicide, because in six year they have absolutely ruined his life," Everyone on my friends couldn't come up with enough ways to tell me how wrong and what an a--hole I was. Twenty-Five years later "The Last Jedi" opened and I am still receiving apologies and drinks, and I've done free lance writing for Lucasfilm twice.
This makes me angry when something bizarre happens people think you’re crazy and don’t even investigate.
People trying to find a cause for yellow fever in 1890. Mosquitoes where the cause, later discovered, but the scientist that thought of the theory was made fun of for years on end.

I'm glad someone mentioned John Snow.
I wish i could meet the dude.
Every time I tell people that the cost of living will go up if we increase minimum wage, I'm called a "bootlicker" and told that I'm "kissing the rich man's ass." Minimum wage goes up, strangling small businesses. Those places disappear and the big corporations buy those places, converting them into part of their franchise. With no competition in the area and because of the new increased cost of labor, they jack up prices in that area because they can...thanks to you voting for higher minimum wage. I watched it happen with a few places in my neighborhood. A corner liquor store I used to go to is a 7-Eleven now. The donut shop I used to go to that had a dozen donut holes for $1 is now a Dunkin Donuts that sells 14 for $1.99. A small food mart near our local theater is now a Ralph's and the mom and pop convenient store is a CVS now.
At this point, it's not prediction. It's just me remembering the past.
What isn't super commonly known is that Timothy McVeigh the Unabomber was one of the victims of the MK Ultra and was essentially a product of the operation that lead to the death of innocent people.
My friends called me crazy in like october through November of 2019 when I caught wind that china was hiding something involving diseases. Then covid happened and ever since they've been a little more open into understanding some of the things I say lol
My mom.
When I 4 my knees started swelling and my mom got worried. She though it was arthritis because of the symptoms (she’s a doctor, a pediatrician). No one believed her, not the family, not the doctor nor the doctor friends she had. That’s because my exam to that diseases factor was negative and there had never been a case at such a young child.
She took me to a specialized doctor in the capital and guess what? I have arthritis.
Now it’s known it can happen at any age (even babies) and not all patients test positive.
Me. I still predict things only to be told that I am crazy. Surprise bitches, Facebook records my predictions with timestamps so I have proof!! Worst part is, I am rarely proven wrong. I should focus my attention on the stock market though. Seems like no matter what I do, I cannot make predictions where I benefit. At least when I made sure we bought a house, it was at the lowest point in both price and mortgage interest rates.
The worst part is that when I tell my wife (after she rebuked me), "I told you so!!" I am the one who has to pay for it!!
Honestly I feel like my answer is me when I first heard about covid being a thing. I was super paranoid I’m talking texting my mom at like 2 in the morning cause I couldn’t sleep, being too scared to touch things at school, obsessively washing my hands and checking my temperature any chance I got, etc. everyone always told me that we’d be fine and I wasn’t gonna catch it but then the lockdown finally hit us. Honestly now that I’m online for school I’m not as anxious anymore although I still worry about other people in my family not taking it as seriously as I do.
Gary Webb was a great journalist...exposing the Iran-Contra scandal. Yes, he died by gunshot to the head, but it was TWO shots (not a suicide).
I mean, I’m the case of Corey Feldman, it didn’t help that Hollywood’s dirty secrets came out around the time he went delusional and shitty with his music stuff(see Anthony Fantano and The Bonfire for more on that). Also, the fact that he’s no better than those he calls out and tried profiting off of giving names of pedophiles didn’t help either.
Just about anyone who has made any major advance in science was at first ridiculed for it.
"Earth is not the centre of the universe? Ridiculous!"
"Invisible bugs spread disease?
Impossible!"
Fortunately virology wasn't!
Me on many ,many, occasions. Ive been wrong as well. Nobody's perfect but here we go...
About telling my wife we were being followed. (we were by the DEA and US Customs for two years because some idiot drug dealer mis-shipped dope to my p.o. box. I have hypervigilance from having experienced an unusual and traumatic life. So I tend to notice when a car paces me 200 yards back for miles making every turn I make even when its something I throw in randomly. Thank God we didnt accept said package because it had a stranger's name on it. But she didnt believe me and called me crazy and paranoid until a small airplane kept buzzing us one night on our way home from visiting friends in a rural area. A few months later the feds showed and told us what was up. )
About telling my wife not to cancel the unused credit cards we kept in our safe because it would affect our credit (She got paranoid about data breaches and cancelled them and our credit score crashed from 976 to the low 700s because it lowered our ratio of available credit.)
About telling my wife the insurance company would cancel our house insurance if she kept filing claims about little things we could fix ourselves out of pocket (they did after she told me I was stupid and made 3 claims in two years, mostly because she wanted new floors and didnt want to just pay for it.)
About an airplane we had just boarded not making it to our destination ( I tried to convince her we needed to de board the plane. she didnt want to get off the plane after the flight attendant apologized about the late boarding saying they had to replace a computer card. I was an AT&T service tech and immediately knew that was a trick technicians do when they dont know what's wrong and want to pass the buck to another tech. It was pulled on me dozens of times by a couple of bad techs. There's a delay before a newly inserted card can establish a baseline and go into alert status. The tech at the Shreveport airport rolled the dice with the lives of everyone on that plane. So I passed my Son and my wife notes telling them to prepare for an emergency landing as I knew the problem wasnt fixed, just covered up. Wifey rolled her eyes at me because she is so superior. Within 4 minutes of takeoff the flight attendant announced we would be making an emergency landing at the next available airport because they couldnt maintain cabin pressure)
I told my wife I'm certainly flawed but she would never find another man as good as me when she became a malcontent in our marriage and wanted a divorce ( she had gotten her PHD and got that condescending attitude some people get with it. People with PHD level education sometimes make the mistake of believing that being more educated than other people somehow makes you better than them. I believe that to be both arrogant and false. Unfortunately as her academic status increased so did the verbal and psychological abuse. Kind of a streak she always seemed to have anyway. People that treat longtime family members and waitstaff like crap are not marriage material, but as a classic narcissist she fooled me with false humility and empathy until the ink was dry on the marriage license. She divorced me and was ruthless and evil about it. Complete scorched Earth policy. Two years later, after I bought another house and rebuilt my life, she called me wanting to "try again"...guess things arent the same for women over 40 on the dating scene no one valued her PHD as much as she did...gave her the big nope. As it turns out, It was probably the best thing to happen.(bet Im right about THAT, too.) I'm not even interested in dating again. There's something to be said for peace and quiet.
It's the kids, and you know it! It's the kids. "There's a demon in my roooom"...

You’d be surprised at how many of the “I was kicked out/disowned/etc because I’m gay/trans/etc” is a cover for real wrongdoing. One of my cousins got expelled for getting caught smoking pot in the dorms (friggin idiot) THREE TIMES and tries to tell everyone she left on her own accord because the professors bullied her for being trans.
Men just because you're twice the woman size does not mean she can not physically abusive. Protect yourselves call the police
Everyone around me thought I was being paranoid and joking when I fucked off from my hometown to live with my parents 5 hours away when the COVID Lockdowns first hit and said the pandemic would last at least a year and a half if we're lucky. They though it would have been pointless since the quarantine would have only been a couple weeks. 1 year and 2 months later and we're still in quarantine while the Government scrambles for vaccines and infrastructure they should have put together last year. My hometown is now the hardest hit area in the country. I told everyone that 2020 and 2021 would be a write and I've been on the money about every lock down, re-opening and where the hotspots would be. It helps to be skeptical of the government and humanity in general like I am. It's almost worth the near crippling depression to be correct about how shitty and all around dumb the majority of people are and how that stupidity and selfishness will directly affect you. My sister and brother in law was the only one who didn't laugh and take it for a joke when I packed my shit into the car and ran for the hills.

People say I’m crazy all the time whenever I tell them some of the things that I know that no other human on this planet knows
Not fun but a fact: the company that let the radium girls be irradiated when the company knew it was dangerous--it was the same company that, on behalf of the military, released radioactive smoke in St. Louis slums in the 1950s. They told the public it was just smoke and they were studying wind patterns to learn about radioactive fallout. My family lived nearby at the time, in St. Charles. My mother was pregnant then and, surprise surprise!, my sister was born mentally retarded and with "congenital" kidney damage. As damaged as my sister is, she is a joy and a delight. The people who knowingly did this, I leave to karma.

Not that this takes away from the genius of Nikki Lauda but he did work for Mercedes from there return till his death and he talked Lewis into doing it. It actually just adds to his unbelievable ability to help Mercedes become the most dominant team ever
That was me In January 2020. I heard about covid and I said it will go around the globe and we will be years in quarantine. Everyone was saying I was crazy.
that last one really sucks, even if it is caused by mental illness they're still experiencing chronic pain, and people should have been more sympathetic
9:45 I don't know about first person. First famous person perhaps. Once someone had explained to me the turn key loans (or whatever the name was) my response was "if housing prices ever drop, so many people will walk away it will cause a massive crash to the market and will knock on to all other markets." People didn't believe me.
So when I heard it was starting I sold all my shares. Two weeks later they would have been worth 70% of what I sold them for, or less in some cases. I also did a couple of purchases from the USA as our currency was near parity. Even though it was a US lead problem and Australia survived it much better thanks to our left leaning government's economic management skill (bailed out the poor instead of the rich) the AUD dropped a hell of a lot against the USD.
...wow... I'm sorry the AUD dropped hard, too.
I told my staff ,I felt that the accountian was stealing $$,I was correct!!??
