12 Ex-Cons Reveal The Most Terrifying Thing They Saw Inside Prison
1. I saw someone take a hotpot fill it up with baby oil add a pound of sugar, add some magic shave, bring it to a boil then splash it in a person’s face…… It literally melted the guys face off. This happened around 1999 and I still have the occasional nightmare about it

Picture of the Day
Van Halen stipulated in their performance contracts that a bowl of M&M’s, with all of the brown M&M’s removed, was to be placed in their dressing room. They didn’t do this to be jerks, but as a simple test to see if more important safety and quality specifications were attended to as well.
According to David Lee Roth, this was listed in the technical portion of the contract not because the band wanted to make capricious demands of the venue, but rather as a test of whether or not the contract had actually been thoroughly read and honored, as it contained other requirements involving legitimate safety concerns. If the bowl was present, then the band members could safely assume the other, legitimate, items in the technical rider were being fulfilled to their satisfaction. Conversely, if the bowl was missing, or brown M&M’s were present, then the band members would be within their rights to have the venue inspect the work, ask that it be redone, etc. Their concern for safety was real: during their earlier tours, not only had equipment been damaged, but several members of their road crew were nearly electrocuted, both due to inadequate safety measures and preparation on the part of the local venue.
What Is The Benefit Of Being In Nature?
Almost everything we experience is through the filter of other humans in modern life.
We live in countries defined by leaders; we follow laws and societal norms established by man; we consume video and content created by other humans; we work in jobs based on society’s needs.
Other humans influence everything in our lives, and maybe that’s okay.
But nature is pure. No human decided to put a mountain somewhere.

How Were Pilots Chosen To Become Kamikazes in WW2?
The story of how Kamikaze pilots were chosen during World War II is a complex and sobering reflection on the intersection of patriotism, coercion, and human vulnerability. The operation, which guaranteed death, was not officially sanctioned by the imperial navy or army in a direct order from the emperor. Instead, it was presented as a voluntary endeavor, allowing the higher-ups to maintain a veneer of honor and volunteerism while pushing young men into a harrowing decision.

“Expecting others to match your level of effort is a sure path to disappointment”
Listen up, because this might sting a little: You need to stop expecting others to match your level of effort in relationships. It’s a recipe for disappointment, frustration, and a whole lot of unnecessary drama.
Here’s the deal: People are different. Shocking, right? We all have our own priorities, energy levels, and ways of showing we care. Just because you’re willing to move mountains for someone doesn’t mean they’re capable of or interested in doing the same for you.
