Some of us might know some really random facts that we've learned over the years of being in school, searching the internet, or knowing people who knew different things. Regardless, we can all probably tell one random fact that we've learned over the years.

Well, on Reddit, which is where people love to share stories, ask for advice, or ask questions, someone came on there and asked people to share some mildly disturbing facts that they knew. This actually brought a lot of people to the thread as they shared some disturbing and wild facts.

Honestly, some of these I don't even want to know where they learned them because some of them are actually pretty disturbing. Overall, these facts are some of the ones that we haven't even heard of before which makes the whole post even that much more interesting.

So, if you're someone who loves to learn new things and is looking to know more about random facts then you're in the right place. We for sure wanted to share some of these facts with you so we compiled the best disturbing facts that we could find on the Reddit post.

Let's dive in and check out some of the best comments left on this post.

2. I can't even explain how this makes me feel.

"The entire Universe outside our galaxy could have completely disappeared over 20,000 years ago and we still wouldn't know it yet. Our view of the Universe is actually what it looked like anywhere from thousands to Billions of years ago -with no way to see what it actually looks like "right now".

Imagine if you looked out your front window and saw your yard as it was 6 months ago, neighbors house across the street a year ago, and houses a block or two away as they were several years ago. Also off in the distance you see the glaciers from the last ice age.

That's what it's like looking out at the Universe."

3. This is a different perspective.

"The phrase "shoot for the moon. If you miss you'll land amongst the stars."

The next nearest star is 4.3 light years away. If you miss the moon, you're absolutely f****d"

4. What even is this though.

"A Rat King happens when multiple rats become congealed together in a tangle of tails, dirt, hair and blood."

9. This is pretty interesting.

"Christopher Mintz-Plasse's mom had to be on set during the filming of his (attempted) sex scene in *Superbad* because he was only 17 at the time it was being filmed."

11. Guess they're not that cute anymore.

"Meerkats are adorable creatures. They even started in a show called Meerkat Manor.

But they are, by far, the most murderous species of any animal, killing more of their own species with greater frequency than any other animal"

12. Yet another fact I didn't need to know.

13. This is so weird I wonder why they react that way.

"Chimpanzees just flat out love to eat monkeys. They love it so much they’ve feasted on certain breeds to local extinction.

23. This is honestly extremely sad to even think about.

"The rescue dogs from ground zero on 9/11 developed PTSD and needed therapy afterward because there were so few survivors and so many dead recovered that they thought they'd screwed everything up and done a bad job."

24. This literally sounds insane, but I guess there wouldn't be much you can do.

"If Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin got stuck on the moon the official policy was to cut communication and let them suffocate in silence, Nixon even had a speech prepared in case this happened."
