fact
The book ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ created controversy when it was first published because many parents and people thought that the wild things looked too scary for children.

*The following article contains discussion of suicide/self-harm.
Cartoons have a special place in our memories.
The tinkling sound of the cereal hitting the bowl. The calm of the house settling around us.
There is something brightly nostalgic about those memories, something almost too good to be true.
Of course, if something seems too good to be true…
Before we dive into the darkness, a content warning. There will be mentions of suicide, murder and domestic abuse.
“What are some dark facts about cartoon shows?”
“There was a Smurfs PSA that was made for UNICEF I believe where their entire village is carpet-bombed.”~Djangolives
“Ren and Stimpy was an absolute nightmare for the people who worked on it. John K ordered them not to make the same face twice.”
“Pretty, but it was hell for the workers because they were constantly drawing things.”
“John K was a nightmare boss.”
“One of the producers had a sign on his wall labeled ‘John’s knees’ and invited people to kick it.”
“By the time he left it was reduced to a hole.”
“They made several episodes that were just the animators ranting about how much of an asshole that John K was.”~CrazyCoKids
“A literal dark fact: Batman: the Animated Series had their backgrounds drawn on black paper instead of white paper, to make Gotham appear darker.”~PianoManGidley
“The creator of Skeletor was inspired by a corpse in a haunted house that he was 100% sure was real. Turned out he was right.”~Scodo
“In Disney’s Gargoyles, Goliath believes his entire clan is either dead or turned permanently to stone, and he asks the Magus to turn him to stone forever as well.”
“Yes, there were improbable terms to break the curse … but effectively, he was committing suicide.”
“He knew he was among the last of his kind and did not know if he would ever wake up again.”
“He left behind a rookery full of eggs (the next generation) when he did so.”
“Also, in City of Stone, Demona smashes statues that are humans turned to stone — she kills people on screen in a Disney cartoon.”
“Lots more examples from Gargoyles, but those two stick out.”~mynonymouse
“There’s no normal animals in Pokémon, yet you see the characters eat meat all the time”~t00nland
“Not so much about the production, but there is an obscure animated movie called The Adventures of Mark Twain that is stop motion animated, and in one pretty f*cked up scene Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn and Becky are greeted by an angel who says his name is Satan.”
“Except he looks nothing like a traditional angel, he holds a mask on a stick for a face which contorts into a demon and skeletal face at times.”
He then has the kids sculpt a village with people and a castle out of sand, and Satan then brings them to life.”
“The sand people get along but soon start fighting and Satan kills them by summoning lighting, causing an earthquake, etc…”
“The kids are horrified, but Satan just nonchalantly says they can make more and waxes poetic about how life is a vision and we don’t matter.”
“I can’t really do justice describing how eerie it is, but if you look up disturbing kid’s cartoons on YouTube, it’ll pop up.”~Lrehcsa1926
“When the Wind Blows is a movie that uses a bright palette and pleasant childhood aesthetic to tell the story of nuclear attack aftermath could-bes.”
“It follows an awfully gullible elderly couple with an overzealous trust in their government as they go on with their lives after the strike, which progressively gets worse as they succumb to radiation poison.”
“Sounds bad?”
“The pamphlet they seem to rely on is real and it’s just as out of touch and unsettling.”
“It has been suggested that it’s actual purpose is allowing for a better clean-up after you’re f*cking dead.”
“See also here.”~SoCriedtheZither
“The studio had to get someone else to sing ‘Soon You’ll Come Home’ in All Dogs go to Heaven because the voice actor, Judith Barsi, had such a traumatic home life because of an abusive, alcoholic father that she couldn’t sing the song without having a breakdown.”
“She and her mother were murdered by him before the movie was released in a double-murder/suicide.”
“She was only 10.”
“She was also the voice of Ducky from Land Before Time.”
“Her tombstone reads, ‘Yep! Yep! Yep!’ “~nnelson2330
“I remember reading an interview with an animator who worked on the original She-Ra back in the 80’s, made by Filmation that there was some rather weird arguments from the producers over She-Ra not being lady-like enough.”
“Like a proper lady shouldn’t pick up and throw a tank, despite the fact that’s the literal point of the character, the most powerful woman in the universe.”
“And there’s an actual clip of her throwing a tank in the opening credits.”
“Of course there was a lot of push back from the artists and directors that She-Ra should be kicking all kinds of ass, and hurling tanks around.”
“I noticed in the last season of the new She-ra there’s a scene where she’s throwing tanks around and someone admonishes her for it saying ‘We don’t throw tanks at our friends’.”
“I can’t help but wonder if that was a nod to the old She-Ra and the hard time they got for tossing tanks around.”~Patches67
The cartoons we grew up with were meant for our enjoyment and education.
It’s interesting that the subject-matter didn’t always line up with those lofty goals, and truly heartbreaking that behind the scenes, events were sometimes much darker.

Little kids are incredibly impressionable. Their minds are still learning and growing, which is a prime opportunity to tell them facts that will absolutely blow their little minds.
Whether you’re a parent, an aunt or uncle, a cool older sibling, or another adult in their life, there are a few facts you can tell them that will make you seem like you know everything about the world.
If you want to impress a young person in your life, this list will give you facts of all sorts that may even blow your own mind.
“What are some cool facts to tell a 5 year old?”
Take notes!
“You can’t lick your elbow.”
“Then you get a good 5min watching them try.” ~ CriticallyNormal
“Nah you wanna tell them that you can. Then they’ll try for the whole day and get increasingly p*ssed off.” ~ harkat82
“Actually a lot of kids can lick their elbow. Since they’re younger and more flexible they can bend their arms in weird directions in order to lick their elbow.” ~ chickenugget814
“You’re absolutely right. I just tried it on my 6 y/o nephew and promised him that he could have my phone (he always wants to play games with it) if he could do it. So yeah, bye Reddit!” ~ ninjatoes36
“Astronomer here! Clap your hands once, and then clap them again a second later. The two claps were actually done about 30,000 miles apart thanks to the Earth’s motion in space!”
“I did the calculation once and interestingly most of the stuff you think of, like the rotating Earth or out orbit around the sun, is a negligible part of it. The real contributions are from our star orbiting the galaxy, and the galaxy’s motion itself in space.” ~ Andromeda321
“Is that the earth moving around the sun or the sun moving around the center of the galaxy? Hey, are we aware if galaxies are rotating around a central universal point?” ~ whohw
“The earth moving around the sun is much, much less distance at any moment than the distance we get from the sun orbiting the galaxy.”
“Galaxies do not orbit around a central point, but galaxies around us are heading in the direction of the ‘Great Attractor’ which is outside our visible universe. It’s probably just an even bigger group of galaxies.” ~ Andromeda321
“The ducks at the park are free, you can take them home.” ~ NotDaWaed

“Just told my wife ‘every c in Pacific ocean is spelled differently’… Whoops.” ~ Curran919
“There are numbers below zero.” ~ Sergeant_Dimitri
“And other numbers orthogonal to the real number line entirely.”
“You might have to explain exponents/squaring things but some kids are precocious.” ~ 7788445511220011
“Are those imaginary numbers?” ~ rushingkar
“Yes. There might even be more examples that I’m not aware of tbh, but that was what I was thinking about.” ~ 7788445511220011
“Yep, we can get weirder. Real number exist in a line, complex numbers exist in a plane, and quaternions exists within a volume.”
“So, there exists a range of numbers orthogonal to both the simply real numbers and the simply imaginary numbers. Numbers above zero, numbers below zero, numbers to either side zero, and … hmm, before and after? back and forth from?”
“I dunno, I’m already disoriented.” ~ Haven_Stranger

“We will never experience tomorrow as by the time it’s ‘tomorrow,’ it will be today.” ~Redditor
“You can say this about right now. There is never a right now bc once you even say it or think about it, it’s gone.” ~ thedopestantelope
“I keep trying to explain to my almost five year old that no, it’s not tomorrow now.” ~ linuxgeekmama
“Easy: promise you’ll take him to the zoo (or Disneyland or whatever) tomorrow. Then, every day: ‘Are we going to the zoo today?’ ‘No, it’s today. I said we’d go tomorrow.’”

We tend to think we know it all.
But sometimes we are learning just as much as the little ones in our lives.
Truly, we do learn something new every day.
In 1985, two Irish boys, aged 13 and 10, ended up in New York after sneaking onto a train and a ferry in Dublin, a train to Heathrow, and a flight to JFK, all without being caught.

When I was young, my dad had awesome hookups for tickets for sporting events.
We went to hockey games, baseball games, and even a few football games.
It was great!
And I think we can agree that we all had SOME kind of perk because of what our mom and/or dad did for a living.
Let’s see what these folks had to say about this!
Cokes for days!
What perks did you enjoy as a kid bc of your parents jobs? My parents ran a computing company and they had a huge computer with a very primitive couple of games I’d play. They also has a coke machine on the honor system and I drank those all the time.

Heaven for a kid.
My dad was in the Air Force, and I had a charmed childhood of being able to ride my bike all over base from a really young age because the base was basically a huge gated community – ice cream shop, movie theater, pool, all of my friends.

A dream come true.
My dad sold coffee, so not a lot of kid-friendly freebies. Except he’d go to all the food tradeshows, and trade coffee for candy with all the candy booths, then bring it home for us and it was *glorious*.

You thanked him later.
Dad was a painting contractor and worked out deal with the local private school to paint the whole building every summer in exchange for sending us there. 15 years total he did this.

Ice-T for the win!
Dad briefly had a limo company in the early 90s. I got to meet Queen Latifah, Will Smith and Ice-T. I work in the concert industry, so my Kiddo has been backstage and ran into (sometimes literally) all kinds of artists since she was 5. She’ll realize how cool I am one day.

I bet that was quite an adventure.
My father & 4 uncles were NYC firefighters. We hung out in firehouses, climbed on the trucks, slid down the fire pole & played w/ dogs, who’d often been abandoned at the firehouses, b/c it is a truth universally acknowledged that a dog left at a firehouse will be loved.

The post People Talk About the Perks They Enjoyed as Kids Because of What Their Parents Did for a Living appeared first on UberFacts.
Some scars from childhood never quite heal.
And I’m not talking about the physical ones, either. I’m talking about the things we see as kids that we carry with us throughout our lives because they were traumatic and painful.
AskReddit users opened up about what they witnessed as kids that still haunts them.
Let’s take a look at their stories.
“My father met my mother when she was very young in a foreign country.
Due to age difference (he was 40, she was 25) they would argue a lot, my mom being young, she wanted to go out a lot and live her life. I walked up into their room once my father trying to suffocate my mother with a pillow. I was around 6 years old.
When my father saw me he completely stopped (he loved me so much despite the problems with my mother), and jumped in to hug me and took me to the other room. She called the police and put a restriction order on him.
To this day my mother says I saved her life, but that image has never left.”
“I was about six at a party at my dad’s secretary’s house.
He thought it’d be funny to throw me (fully clothed and unable to swim at the time) into the pool and laugh at me in front of everyone. I was so humiliated and embarrassed that my own father would use me as a prop to make his moron friends laugh.
I later found out he was f**king his secretary on the side and is the father of her daughters.”
“My mom is a very strict person when it comes to school so when we do bad we get punished heavily.
I remember multiple times when my sister would get an F and would get beaten and yelled at. I still remember the guttural screams of pain when she got hit. I had many sleepless nights of overhearing my sister sobbing and screaming because of my mom.
Happened so much that I got desensitized to it.”
“Overheard our dad say to our stepmother, “if I could go back in time and never have those kids I would do, so I could only have your children”.”
“My grandparents getting it on.
There’s nothing more to be said.”
“Being called a “Useless, useless evil child that only gets his siblings in trouble. So weak and frail and useless.”
My Baba said this about me to my Auntie.
It sounds harsher in Russian.”
“When I was in 3rd grade, my class took a field trip to a history museum in the capital of the state I lived in at the time.
After the tours were over and we had eaten lunch, we piled onto the buses and started to leave. To put it nicely, the capital wasn’t a very nice place, high crime rate, bad roads, worn down houses, that kind of stuff. Anyways, the bus was stopped at a stop light and my friend and I were playing the alphabet game, so we were naturally looking outside the window at the time.
Should’ve just slept the way back, because we saw a guy get mugged and s**bbed right at the crosswalk. Parents and teachers started to freak out, one parent vomited, the bus driver just floored it out of there. Kinda screwed everything up at the school for the next few weeks, the word got out real fast and we had to have an assembly about it.
Occasionally still have nightmares about the whole thing, never found out if the guy ever got medical attention or not, so it’s possible I watched a man die when I was just a small kid. To this day I can’t drive through that city, if I have to get close to it in any way I take a different route.”
“When I was three my grandma d**d in her sleep and everyone went crazy.
I remember her boyfriend for some reason sneaking me in to see her body and then just sobbing a lot and saying I needed closure.
I wouldn’t call it bad trauma, especially compare to a lot of other things, but decades later I still remember what she, her boyfriend and the room looks like vividly and it comes up in my head sometimes without me even thinking about it.”
“I grew up near a highway with a 70 mph speed limit.
One day our dog got out of our yard and ran out onto the highway while I was helplessly trying to call it back. I’ll never forget the sight of it getting hit, going under the bumper and then bouncing between the pavement and the underside of the van. At least the driver had tried to stop.
He got out and dragged the body off the road and just looked up at me and said “he’s d**d” with a kind of half shrug. Nothing more anyone could have said or done after that”
“When I was about 6 I saw this guy dragging a kid covered in blood over a hill.
I ran inside my house panicked my dad called the cops.
Turned out the guy was mad that this kid beat up his son not sure what happened on other side of hill but he got arrested.”
“Overheard a relative angrily confronting another relative about their homemade p**n tape. as said tape was playing.
I get the shivers every time the memory invades my thoughts.”
“My grandmother calling me fat, ugly, stupid and worthless when I was about 5-6 years old.
She’d have long, mocking conversations with her husband, family and even my mother about all that was wrong with me. She never said those things directly to me, she tried avoiding talking to or even looking at me as much as she could, she just made sure I always was close enough to hear her say it.
I have a whole conga line of trauma, but those years of abuse really left a mark. She’s on her deathbed now and I’ll be popping champagne when she’s gone.
It’s “funny”, though: Around the same age, I saw at least two badly damaged bodies (pedestrians hit by a car) and a horse suddenly collapsing and dying in front of my eyes, but had absolutely no reaction to that. 25 years later I still hurt from being called ugly though.”
“Me: Imagine knowing a m**derer
Mom: You do
Me: Who?
Mom: I won’t tell you as you will never look at them the same.
Me: Then why did you tell me?
Decades later and I still haven’t figured out who it is.”

The age-old battle of who is going to pay for college is still going strong, folks!
And here’s yet another example…
A dad asked folks on Reddit if he is acting like an a**hole in regard to his daughter and her college plans.
Let’s take a look.
AITA For Refusing To Help My Daughter Pay For College?
“I (48m) have three children with my ex. My son “Joe” (24m) and two daughters “Jane” (21f) and “Amy” (19f).
After the children were born my great-grandmother started a small Education fund for each of them that I have now since controlled since her passing.
There weren’t any specific criteria for this fund within the context of the law or Bank policy because of the type of fund my great-grandmother started. I’ve added my own money to fund and my parents have occasionally put in some cash but it was never expected. My ex never put a dime into it but always wanted to have equal control of it and every time I refused she would get upset.
Over the years she’s tried to say that she needed money from the fund for expenses for the kids, citing that the child support I was paying wasn’t enough. I still refused and said that to just send me the bill and I’ll pay for it directly. She didn’t want that and would shut up after I asked how she could be so desperate for money for our kids but refuse to give any details.
Fast forward to when Joe was going to college and I told my son to just give me enough information so that I can pay the school every semester and he’d be good.
My ex tried to convince him to get me to give him all the money so that way he could have his privacy. My son did consider it but decided that he’d rather I just do this for him because he was worried of blowing through the money. I was proud of him.
Jane, however, gave into her mom’s way of thinking and insisted that I just give her the entire fund during her 2nd year. I tried to convince her that this way was best and pointed at how well this worked out for her brother.
Jane just called me controlling and said that I didn’t respect her enough to let her make her own choices. Eventually I relented but made it clear that this was all the money that there was for her for college. That once it’s gone, it’s gone and she was on her own if she needed more.
Everything seemed fine up until about a few weeks ago and Jane called crying saying that she wasn’t going to finish because she ran out of money. I asked her what happened and surprise, surprise Jane gave money to my ex. I let her vent and then told her that everything was going to be okay.
That while she may not graduate by a certain time she can still finish school, she’ll just need to apply for grants, scholarships, loans and maybe even take a year off to just work. How I would tell the school how she was on her own so she could get more money
Both Jane and my ex are upset with me, because they expect me to pay for her schooling and that I was being horrible for wanting her to struggle with loans. To me this isn’t about being petty but rather giving Jane a hard lesson.
She wanted to be treated like an adult, well finding your own way is what adults do. Joe agrees with me but, now Amy is being pressured to access her fund to help her sister. Technically, I could help but I’d rather Jane work for it herself.
AITA?”
And here’s how people on Reddit responded to this story.
One reader said that the dad is not in the wrong here and his daughter will learn a lesson from this situation.

It’s hard for me to comprehend not letting my kids (if I had any) spend as much time as possible with my parents.
But, as you know, every family is different and some grandparents tend to cross the line on occasion.
And this young man is fired up at his mom and dad because they did something with his daughter without his permission.
Let’s see what happened…
AITA for not wanting our daughter left alone with my parents anymore after they did something w/o permission?
“Me and my fiancee (22m & 23f) had our baby girl Thalia and she just turned 9 months old.
Everyone in our family has been coming around more to see her. Two months ago we stopped talking to my parents after they pulled some s**t. We basically decided it was gonna be up to Thalia when she older if she wants to get her ears pierced.
Tbh I was never into the idea of it being done as a baby when they can’t consent, like my fiancée parents pierced her ears when she was a baby and she always hated wearing earrings. Still doesn’t wear any.
Just like every other parent that was our decision not to do it to her while she’s a baby. My parents didn’t shut up about it for a while saying “she’d look so cute.” But we told them already no and that’s our answer.
When they babysat for us once they got one of my mom’s friends to do it and we were f**king pi**ed they went behind our backs. We stopped talking to them after that for disrespecting our decision. Everyone was saying we were making a big deal and we can’t cut them out their granddaughters life over something like that.
So we decided they’re allowed to only see Thalia when one of us is around and they won’t be left alone with her. That’s where everyone is still saying we’re being massive a-holes because we’re still punishing them over something that’s not a big deal and we’re treating them like children.
Even my fiancées parents think that only letting them have supervised visits is too much and they should be allowed to babysit or have Thalia at their place alone like before. We’re still not wanting to change our minds on our conditions so it’s pinning everyone against us.
Are we being a**holes that we just don’t trust them alone with her and rather one of us be there always?”
Wow…now let’s check out how people responded on Reddit.

And this Reddit user went so far as to call these actions “assault on a minor.”
That’s an interesting take…
