443 Disturbing Facts about Our World: Shocking, Ironic or Simply Sad Pieces of Trivia

From an award-winning author!
Following the success of my trivia website, RaiseYourBrain, I published several award-winning compilations of hard-to-believe facts that have reached hundreds of thousands of readers. One of the chapters in each trivia book was "Disturbing Facts about Our World".
In 2020, I filled an entire volume with facts about upsetting crimes and mayhem, combined with unbelievable yet real instances of misfortune and misery. This was a book where grim examples of bigotry and hypocrisy were intertwined with amusing stories of bad luck. Accordingly, I dedicated a whole chapter to COVID-19 trivia alongside other weird medical conditions. The book was received so well that now you hold in your hands the second instalment. I promise, it will shake you to your core!
I am well aware that many readers might be overwhelmed by the condensed negativity, but hey... a fact is a fact! Continue to read if you appreciate trivia like:

• Men google how to enlarge their penis more often than how to make an omelette.
• In Japan, more people died from committing suicide in 2020 and 2021 than from COVID-19.
• In 2004, the Botswana transport minister urged people to commit suicide by hanging and not by throwing themselves in front of a train.
• Cows can sleep standing but only dream when lying on the ground.
• Sick people have a higher probability of dying if they are aware that many people are praying for them.
• The chainsaw was originally introduced to help during childbirth.
• When self-driving cars become mainstream, dead people will occasionally arrive at their destination-those who will have died on their journey.

• In 2020, an Austrian man was fined for "intentionally farting on a policeman" in Vienna.

However incredible these pieces of trivia might sound, all entries have been verified and fact-checked.
