8 of history's worst experiments:
1. Unit 731: During World War II, the Imperial Japanese Army conducted extensive chemical & biological warfare research on human test subjects. An estimated 200,000 people died from these cruel experiments.
Victims were intentionally exposed to anthrax, the bubonic plague, cholera, syphilis, typhus and other pathogens. Other experiments included vivisection, controlled dehydration, biological weapons testing, hypobaric pressure chamber testing, organ harvesting amputation, and standard weapons testing, all without anesthesia or a care of whether the victim lived or died.
Unit 731 victims included men, women, children, and even infants that were born after victims were r*ped by the staff. Unit 731 was led by General Shirō Ishii who was granted immunity & then hired after WWII by the United States government.
8. Project 4.1: Between 1946 and 1958 the United States tested 67 nuclear weapons above ground on or near Bikini and Enewetok atolls in the Marshall Islands. Entire islands were vaporized & populated islands were blanketed with fallout. Marshall Island residents were exposed to high levels of radiation without their consent or knowledge of the effects, particularly after the Castle Bravo test, the most powerful nuclear test ever done by the US. Instead of warning them of the dangers, the US government observed the effects of the radiation on the Marshallese.
Here is the magnitude of the Castle Bravo test.

I've traveled with my mom in India 🇮🇳 for a week and here's what she loved about it ⬇️
It was her first time out of Europe and she doesn't speak English. She's heard a lot about the country from me, read in Polish media, yet everything around here was shocking.
1. The mundanests of things were an attraction - especially taxi rides and grocery shopping. She came with a mission to buy "curry spice" for my sister and couldn't believe there's more than one type.
2. She took approximately a billion photos of weeds and plants in the most random places - she was a gardener before retiring and was at awe with the vegetation here, with what in Europe are an indoor plants requiring tonnes of maintenance just growing our in the wild next to some highway toilet stop.
3. Unfortunately image of India in Poland is mostly portraying slums and overcrowded trains with people hanging on rooftops. Taking a perfectly on-time Vande Bharat debunked some stereotypes.
4. The same goes for Dehli and its green, beautifully maintained neighbourhoods.
5. Tech ecosystem blew her mind. In Poland we're so far behind in that regard, while here I've shown her that there's an app for literally anything she imagines + 6 alternatives from competitors.
6. In school, we don't have even half a less about India's history. Visiting Taj Mahal or forts in Jaipur was a eye-openning to what the country was for centuries, pre colonisation.
7. Lastly, obviously what she loved the most were the people. Though she couldn't communicate with them, seeing joy all around and having these little interactions was precious, as everyone was beyond kind and we've had 0 less-than-positive experiences.
She's home now and I've heard that she hasn't stopped pitching India as an ideal holiday destination to the rest of the family. Well done, county 👏👏

It's sad to see what is happening in Indian domestic cricket.
This is Franca Viola, an Italian woman who became famous in the 1960s for publicly refusing to accept the twisted tradition of marrying her rapist.
Instead, Viola fought against the law and was able to successfully prosecute her rapist. Her actions became a catalyst for the emancipation of women in post-war Italy and defied the traditional societal norms of southern Italy, in which a woman was deemed to have lost her honor if she did not marry the man who took her virginity.
At the time, the Italian law stipulated that rapists would not be punished if they married their victims. Article 544 of the Italian Criminal Code considered rape an offence against "public morality"
", not against an individual person. This was not repealed until 1981. Sexual violence only became a crime against the person (instead of against "public morality") in 1996.
In 1968, Franca Viola married her childhood sweetheart, Giuseppe Ruisi, an accountant. Despite death threats, Ruisi insisted on the marriage and even got a firearm license after getting the marriage license to protect himself and his wife. For their wedding, they received gifts from the Italian president and even got a private audience with the pope.
Viola and Ruisi went on to have three children (two sons and one daughter).
They still live together today in Alcamo, a town in Sicily, Italy.
As for the rapist, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was released in 1976, but was killed two years later by the mafia.
