Forbidden knowledge thread - For things they don't want you to know, but you do know, and now we want to know

[NoReturn]

Not to be confused with the old thread of the same name about the concept of hidden knowledge in general. This is for fun facts we actually aren't supposed to know, or are uncommon knowledge. Bonus points if you can explain why "they" don't want us to know.

Examples:

• Many SIDS cases are caused by overweight parents accidentally smothering their children in their sleep, or even while awake. You can even see this in the data for things like parental BMI vs child mortality.
  
• Several health issues faced by black people in the northern hemisphere (often attributed simply to systemic racism) are strongly correlated with vitamin D deficiency.
  
• Cities that are moving from incandescent bulbs and sodium lights to LEDs have the option of using amber lights, they choose to go with the horrible white lights because it's cheaper.

Facebook was started the day after DARPA "shut down" the "LifeLog" project.
And in more recent news, the former head of the NSA (Paul M. Nakasone) just joined OpenAI.

SIDS deaths also spike around holiday season

The leading cause of child mortality in the US is gun violence, but that’s only when you don’t count children under 1 year of age. Then the leading cause of death is developmental and genetic conditions, by a magnitude of about eight times.

Grocery stores periodically rearrange fucking everything so you’re more likely to impulse-buy new things.

Many brands of toilet paper are made so that you tear up the first couple of layers opening it up, so you run out faster.

The training selection for Navy SEALs is done in the Coronado beaches, and it's been known for decades that they are polluted with sewage from Tijuana. The Navy doesn't even acknowledge it. There was a famous case of flesh eating bacteria in the water in the late 90's that almost killed some trainees. It's an open secret and the Navy doesn't care.



Distance from Sewage to beaches is around 15 miles. America's most elite special warfare soldiers swim in Mexican Pee and Poo water as a ritual.

Sometimes life is about the little victories, like being nimble enough to beat Big TP at their own game.

Most vending machines and construction vehicles use the same key, also if you are wearing a high vis, helmet, steel toe boots, and non baggy pants. You can walk on to almost any construction site, and if you are at a mcdonalds kisosk the one you can order stuff from says printer error, press a magnet to the part the prints the receipts at the top of the panel and just keep lifting the magnet along the top part and you can open the receipt strip tray.

If you buy new windshield wipers, just put your old ones in the box and "return" them, no one will ever know

If you need new wheels, rent a car of the same make and model you own, swap them and return.

I thought it'd be more than that.

An actual one, if you put a high vis jacket on your dashboard, most of the time you wont get a ticket for meters or no standing areas. I have a buddy whose done this and he's gotten only two tickets after 4 years.

Children are most likely to be abused and murdered by their parents.

Between 30-70 percent of teen pregnancies are caused by adult men.

A percentage of SIDS cases are probably covert infanticide.

Speaking of infanticide, it was widespread and common for most of human history even if it was taboo to talk about or openly acknowledge (abandoning infants was also usually effectively infanticide since survival rates of foundlings was poor)

Over 90 percent of trisomy 13 and 18 cases are dead before their first birthday.
