Knowledge is power, and some weird knowledge has the power to alienate strangers. Knowing how bleak, desolate, painful and precarious the world is can be a lot to handle, but it might make people think you're smart. That's kinda cool, right? Some facts are too sad, which is why it also helps to know wild sex facts to quote during an awkward silence.

Both American and English food get a bad rep for being over-processed and bland respectively. But honestly if you're looking for noxious cursed food, you can find it just about anywhere. Here's how British and American people looked upon the phenomenon of a whole chicken in a can, as well as some other notorious canned meat products. For some more cultural clash, here's cultures colliding over how to measure time and space.

It's a pretty well-known fact that ignorance is bliss. These tidbits from an especially uncomfortable AskReddit thread are definitely proof of this theory. One masochistic user asked the community to share all the glorious factoids they wish they hadn't learned, and honestly - we feel the same way.

Some of these are just jokes, and some of these we really wish were jokes. You'd need the world's largest dumpster to fit all of the weird stuff people try to sell online. Honestly some of this stuff looks like it would make your house smell like wherever it came from. If it's a failed art project, a "rare" item or just something someone needs to get rid of, you can bet someone will try to sell it online.

Get your fill of selfish, gross and generally awful behavior that shines a puke-yellow light on your fellow man. Most people aren't like this, but it's hard not to feel bad about the world after seeing the sheer stinking trashiness that can be birthed from humanity. If you wanna see more, check these out.

Roll up your sleeves and dip your mitts into some sweet hot dumpster fruit.

Time to file that (NECESSARY) restraining order, Tami. This dude is clearly the perfect WTF cocktail of lunacy meets being enabled by those he needs most to get him help. Buckle up for one wild emotional rollercoaster, folks. 

These are just plain old wrong, no matter how you slice and dice them. 

We're more alike than we give ourselves credit for. Nobody has to know that though...

Seems like a whole lot of trouble to go through just to eat some more hummus, man. 

We all know Gordon Ramsay for his fiery-tempered demeanor on TV, but according to his Twitter account he's also liable to roast average people and their cooking to an absolute crisp.

We're not totally sure if these people were trying to troll Ramsay, or if their cooking really is that horrid. Either way, they certainly succeeded in setting him off!

Come one, come all!

Whoa, alright. Screw chill pills, these folks need horse tranquilizers.

Here are just a bunch of observed food crimes, as well as really horrible ideas to get you kicked out of the break room. People can be very particular about food, and a small mistake will make you like wildly out of place. People have witnessed some food atrocities, and in turn, sometimes people get a food wrong but carry on with it anyway.

Sit back and take a look at life through puce-colored glasses.
