lmao i love that op's is the first fuckin one, it made me laugh again right away.
Shoutout to Menes for inventing dying unusually
Some of these are brutal. So be warned.
Some are sort of funny though...
Some of the older ones are too good to be true
Saw a documentary about a case like that. I think it was called The Curse of Monkey Island or something like that.
New fear unlocked.
Also observe how ghost attacks, vampire snacks and demonic possession go unrepresented in this list. (Bear attacks has its own list. Lightning strikes are a low statistic)
Also curiously absent, death by meteorite — meteorites have punched holes in engine blocks but so far have missed humans — and murder / assassination by hacked IoT device. Intravenous drug dispensors that are connected to the internet are often hooked up with dangerous medications like insulin or morphene, but to date, no one has exploited their poor security to kill someone.
You can be the first!
In the list there's "unknown Iraqi male" who died by meteor shower, 19th century, not too far in.
It is! The source is dated 2022 and is currently the only credible incident of death by meteor known. I had this coversation last before then.
There was a hippo right between Upper and Lower Egypt. He united them but paid the ultimate price in doing so.
The country united to fight the hippos after his death
tbf, it seems like his relationship with animals was really hit or miss:
Diodorus Siculus recorded a story of Menes related by the priests of the crocodile god Sobek at Crocodilopolis, in which the pharaoh Menes, attacked by his own dogs while out hunting fled across Lake Moeris on the back of a crocodile and, in thanks, founded the city of Crocodilopolis.
It became famous as the Great Hippo War.
Damn you were the great hippo war? o_O
🤣 TY. Corrected.
Tbf, hippos are mean mfs.
Reads like a dwarf fortress log
Wow the "exploding chewing gum" one was a trip. What a way to go.
