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.
- If you win the lottery jackpot, you have an increased chance of being murdered by a family member.
- 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.
