1. The Romans used human urine as mouthwash.

2. The Ivanov experiments - Basically some Russian scientist in the 1920s conducted experiments where he tried to make a “humanzee”. I think there were other secret soviet experiments as well where they tried with gorillas in a (failed) attempt to make a super solider hybrid thing.

3. Boston Corbett, the man who found and shot John Wilkes Booth, was completely insane from handling mercury as a hatter. Years before shooting Booth he had calmly castrated himself with a pair of scissors.

6. The Diary of Anne Frank was edited by her father because of some of the thing she talked about: such as her period, discovering herself, learning about hear clitoris/labia and learning some about boys from a younger guy that was staying with them too, and also her father’s infatuation with fart jokes and such (which he didn’t want published.)

7. American president Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a Hot SOB who kept multiple mistresses

9. Let me tell you the story of Princess Olga of Kiev.
Her husband, Igor, was murdered by the Drevlyans, an Eastern Slavic tribe. Olga took over the Kievan Rus’, but the Drevlyans didn’t want a female ruler, so they sent her a group of suitors.
Still pretty pissed about her husband’s murder, Olga had the suitors carried by her servants on a boat to the courtyard of the castle. The boat was dumped into a giant hole and the suitors were buried alive.
She told the Drevlyans that she had accepted a suitor and organized a party in a bath house. After the guests arrived, the doors were barred shut and the bath house was burned down.
After the memorial to the people who died in the bath house, a party was held and the Drevlyan guests got drunk off their ass. Olga’s royal guard proceeded to kill all 5,000 of them that night. When they requested her forgiveness, Olga asked the Drevlyans to give her three pigeons and three sparrows from each home from their capital of Iskorosten. When they arrive, she had hot coals tied to their legs and set them back home. As the city burned to the ground from the resulting fire, the people that ran out of the city were killed, enslaved, or extorted by Olga’s army. The entire tribe was basically wiped out in the following years. Olga is a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
NOTE: Never piss off a Russian.

10. Tsar Nicholas was fvcking his sister
11. In WWII the Russians trained dogs to run under German tanks with bombs on their backs. However, the tanks the dogs were trained to run under were Russian so they ended up running under the Russian tanks and blowing them up instead.

15. This is about a man named Josef Rudolf Mengele who was also known as “The angel of death.” He was a sick man. He took Jewish kids and did experiments on them. He tried finding ways to turn their eyes blue. He had sewn 2 twins together by the length of their spines; the mother later killed them because they were nonstop screaming in agony. He even took a baseball bat to a child’s leg and right when the broken bone was about to heal he broke it again. He did this a ton of times to see if the leg would just give up on healing. The list goes on. This guy was nuts.

20. Most History textbooks that cover the Holocaust do not cover the Rape of Nanking

21. During the civil war, prostitution was as big as fighting. General Hooker had huge groups of women go would follow around his troops and satisfy their urges (where the term Hooker comes from) and in 1861 the Union Army Medical Department reported that 1 out of 12 soldiers had venereal disease.

Many of the Czarinas (Catherine the Great, Anna Ivanovna, Elizabeth and others) were fervent participants. The practice was so popular that eunuchs and women were employed as full time foot ticklers. They developed this unique skill so well that their occupations brought prestige and good pay.
Anna Leopoldovna had at least six ticklers at her feet. While the ticklers performed their task, they also told bawdy stories and sang obscene ballads. This was done to work the ladies up to an erotic pitch so that they could meet their husbands or lovers in a sex impassioned mood.
[The Sex Life of the Foot and Shoe. William A. Rossi, 1993]

29. Christopher Columbus prostituted pre pubescent native American girls

30. For sure, they don’t teach you this in history class, but in colonial times, the person who got left in the stocks overnight was nothing less than fair game for everybody to nail. Men or women, anybody bent over had no way of knowing who was doing the ram job, and this was the real reason you never wanted to end up here unless you had a family member or a friend who’d stand with you the whole time to protect you. To watch your asss, for real.

33. Unit 731 - It was a biological and chemical warfare research unit that undertook lethal human experimentation during the occupation of China.
Vivisection, germ warfare and weapons testing on living subjects (Human beings). Unit 731 was basically full of scientific sadists and psychopaths that killed people in incredibly gruesome ways and it seems their imagination knew no limits.
After WW2, the leaders of the unit gave the US military their research data in return for their own freedom and many of previous members of Unit 731 became part of post-war politics, academia, business, and medicine.
They were just as bad as or even worse than most of the staff of the extermination camps. They didn’t even refer to the Chinese people as humans, but logs(there was a lumber mill nearby and I guess they thought it was some sort of a sadistic humor)…And some even bragged about how many logs they had cut that day (vivisection)

34. The mathematician Pythagoras, who discovered the Pythagorean theorem, (A2 + B2 = C2 ) Was go-nutty, Bat-shit crazy. He killed people who didn’t agree or disproved him, he convinced people that facing the sun when you urinate is a heavily punishable sin, and didn’t believe in fractions, or decimals. He simply refused to believe that more than two and less than three could possibly exist.

This process caused the blood to rush to the brain, meaning that the saw would get to the mid chest height before they passed out. Also Catron wheeling, the offender was placed on a large wheel and then had all of their joints broken by a large hammer, then left to be eaten by crows. And that’s just England!

37. The Romans were sick fvcks. The emperors had young boys as concubines frequently, and some even hired toddlers, from their parents, to nibble at their inner thighs while they bathed. Tell that to your grandma the next time she says the world is becoming amoral.

U.S. Eugenics program - The US was a leader in negative eugenics, and sterilized over 10,000 people against their will for sexual promiscuity, “feeblemindedness”, having children out of wedlock, being physically “unfit”, and many other things. A Supreme Court ruling in Virginia that sided with the state was what Hitler based his eugenics laws off of. This is what made the Holocaust legal in the Nazi empire. Well legal in the sense that they passed laws saying they could do it, not legal in the sense that it was ok. Certain states sterilized people into the 1970s, NC being one of them. The Supreme Court ruling has never been overturned.
39. Somewhere around 400 unarmed civilians were killed during the Vietnam war by U.S. soldiers, the women were raped. 26 soldiers were originally charged with war crimes, 1 served time. He was given a life sentence but served less than 4 years of house arrest.
