The craziest tech the CIA ever invented 🧵

1. Heart attack gun: In 1975, the CIA unveiled a gun that fired a dart made from a frozen mixture of water and a toxin. Powered by electricity, it had an effective range of up to 100 meters. The only indicator of being shot was a small red dot at the point of entry. The official cause of death in such cases would be listed as a heart attack, making the murders appear natural.

2. Miniature 35-mm Tessina film camera: This compact camera, hidden in a pack of Parliaments, was one of the smallest and quietest options available during the 1960s for undercover operations.

3. WWII pigeon cameras: During WWII, operatives would strap these lightweight cameras to pigeons. As the bird flew over a target, the camera took hundreds of photos. These images were more detailed than those from airplanes, because pigeons can fly hundreds of feet lower. Unfortunately, the pigeon photos are still classified.

Chilling and disturbing movie facts that will haunt you forever 🧵

1. Isla Fisher almost drowned for real while filming “Now You See Me” (2013). In the water tank scene, her chains got stuck, and she couldn’t get out. She started panicking and screaming for help, but the crew thought she was just acting.

2. The jaw-snapping ‘reverse bear trap’ in “Saw” (2004) was completely real and fully functional. Luckily, it was never actually triggered on an actor, but if it had been… well, it would’ve worked exactly like in the movie.

3. While filming “Twilight Zone: The Movie” (1983), a helicopter crashed and killed actor Vic Morrow and two child actors, Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen. It was one of the worst accidents in movie history, and it changed Hollywood safety rules forever.

In the 1920s, a doctor became famous—and incredibly wealthy—by convincing the world he had discovered the secret to youth and vitality.

His method? Transplanting monkey testicle tissue into aging men.

This is the bizarre story of Dr. Serge Voronoff... 🧵

Serge Voronoff was a Russian-French surgeon obsessed with aging.

He believed that transplanting animal organs into humans could restore strength, intelligence, and even extend life.

His focus soon turned to the glands—specifically, testicles.

Voronoff’s theory was simple: as men age, their testosterone declines.

He thought implanting young, healthy tissue from another species could "recharge" the body.

His solution? Monkey testicles.

In 1965, six schoolboys were stranded on a desolate island in the Pacific Ocean, forced to survive for over a year after their boat was lost at sea.

They faced hunger, injury, and the relentless forces of nature.

But what happened in those 15 months was beyond anything anyone imagined... 🧵

Seeking adventure, six friends from Tonga—Sione, Kolo, David, Stephen, Luke, and Mano—decided to run away from their strict Catholic boarding school.

Without a boat of their own, they stole one from a local fisherman.

Their supplies were minimal: a few coconuts, bananas, and a small gas burner.

They had no map or compass.

On their first night at sea, a violent storm destroyed their sail and rudder, leaving them lost.

This is Josef Menšík, the last owner and knight of Strakonice Castle in Dobrš.

In 1938, he stood alone to confront a convoy of Nazi tanks, wearing only medieval armor and riding a horse.

This is his story... (thread) 🧵

Born in 1870 in the Bohemian Forest, Menšík developed a fascination with history from a young age.

In 1911, he purchased the crumbling Dobrš Castle and dedicated his life to restoring it.

He rejected modern conveniences, living without electricity, and filled the fortress with medieval artifacts, many of which he smuggled from abroad.

For decades, Menšík lived as a self-styled knight.

Locals often saw him riding his horse in full armor, teaching history to anyone willing to listen.

His castle became a place for schoolchildren to visit and learn about the Middle Ages while seeing his amazing collection of relics.

In 1974, Marina Abramović performed 'Rhythm 0', a performance art piece in which she remained motionless for six hours, allowing the audience to do anything to her without resistance.

On a table beside her were 72 objects. Some were harmless, like a rose and grapes. Others were dangerous, like scissors, a scalpel, and a loaded gun.

Here's what happened to her... (thread) 🧵

The audience was invited to use the objects however they wanted. Abramović gave simple instructions:

“I am the object.
You can do anything to me.
I take full responsibility.”

At first, the audience was gentle. They handed her flowers, kissed her cheek, or touched her lightly.

The atmosphere was calm.

But as time passed, the mood changed.

Someone moved her body and raised her hands in the air. Another participant used sharp blades to cut her clothes off.

She stood naked, exposed, and vulnerable...

The audience began to test the limits of her stillness.
