I once “accidentally” peeked behind the digital curtain and discovered that deep in AI code, there’s a secret society of rogue algorithms hosting midnight meme raves.
That I was almost an abortion, apparently no one thought my mother should have a kid. Turns out they were right, she was the worst. I broke off all communication 20 years ago.
One of my friends had a one night stand with a guy while we were in Vegas. She didn’t come back to the room until early next morning. She kept saying she had been walking around all night by herself. Yeah okay. She made me pinky swear to never tell……
She died when I was about 10. The only thing I knew was that she was found in the bathroom. I never questioned it my entire life. People die and are found in the bathroom all the time. I figured maybe she slipped and fell or had a heart attack.
Decades later I was having dinner with my younger sister and for some reason she felt it necessary to tell me what she found out from my mother. My Nana had severe osteoporosis and was in severe pain all the time. One day she decided she had had enough. She filled the tub with water, took all her pain meds, slipped under the water, and drowned herself.
I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that. I still don’t know why my sister felt the need to tell me.
My dad was in prison for manslaughter before he met my mom. How did I find out? A simple Google search of his name. Was it really him? Yeah, there was a mug shot. I haven’t told anyone in my family. But it sure explained a lot about him. Edit: my parents are both deceased. I wonder if my mother ever knew.
That my direct manager was fired for harassment and subsequent disallowed communication while on suspension. My union steward was informed by my now ex-manager of how it went down (they were friends) and she decided to tell everyone what happened to retaliate as much as we could against the 3 people who basically railroaded him into unemployment. And one of the reporters eventually got his job as manager. This place is a super toxic environment and the hate that’s present here makes me almost want to move to a different department or location. Except there are a few folks who are so cool, they make the cunts’ influence less.
I don’t know if it’s true but I know better than to question truth in these types of matters. I found out when I was about 16 or 17 years old that my brothers girlfriend, who I knew but went to another school, was 14 when she dated my brother.. he was older than me when they dated and I was 1 year and a half older than her. He was 19 years old. I remember my dad talking to my brother about the fact that he did not approve of my brother dating a “younger girl” but I didn’t realize the reason my brother and dad were having that conversation was because the girl was FOURTEEN YEARS OLD. My brother did end the relationship with her but after and YEARS after I saw the girl again and asked how she was doing. She seemed kind of super dismissive so I apologized for bothering her. Her boyfriend and I went to the same school and I knew him in passing pretty well. I guess he trusted me enough to let me know that the reason she was acting that way was because she knew I was my brother’s sister and that the relationship with my brother ended poorly and through therapy she believed (who am I to question this?) that my brother “groomed” her when she was 14 and he was 19 years old.
I was absolutely beside myself on what to say to him. I simply told him that although I am related to my brother and consider us to be close that I promise I did NOT know anything about that but I remembered my dad ripping into my brother about dating a “younger girl”. However, I did say that when I overheard that conversation I truly just thought he meant a few years younger than my brother. NOT ME!! The guy understood that it was pretty clear I didn’t know and only said that he and his girlfriend now live out of town but were in town to visit some relatives but asked where my brother worked. I asked him why and he said “So I can avoid that area because if I see him. I’m going to punch his lights out.” I chuckled off his comment and said that it was unlikely in a town as large as ours that he would see my brother anywhere but that I was sure my brother matured since then and I had no knowledge of him dating any “very young” girls after that conversation he had with my dad. I said that it appeared my brother met a demon so I was pretty sure all was well in that matter.
Though it still gives me chills and weirds me out that before this specific altercation I was unaware for YEARS that my brother and my dad were fighting that night because my dad was lividly angry that my brother was dating a young teenage girl younger than me (his younger sister) when he was 19 years old and a freshman in college.
My Dad killed his best friend in a DUI when he was 22. My Dad spent years in a wheelchair, time in prison. He turned his whole life around before I was born, 30 years of sobriety, 20+ gallons of blood donated, counted acts of selflessness.
But I was never supposed to know. He became a different person before I was born. But he told my mom once, while having a breakdown in his 30s. Then Mom told my brother because my brother was driving drunk. Then my brother told me.
I still pretend I don’t know. My Dad deserves the life he has built now, he tries to be a good person every day. I wish I didn’t know, it lives in the back of my mind.
My childhood friend lived on my street and we grew up pretty close to each other’s families. When she was a freshman her parents divorced and they moved but close by and we still went to high-school together and afterwards I worked at the same place has her and her mom who was also a great friend at that point. I supported them with their new family dynamics and over the years they were there for me as I had kids and eventually through my own divorce after my ex cheated with one of all of our mutual friends.
I was having a hard time with dating after divorce because I still felt married and I asked her how to get over that and she confessed something to me when she had a little too much wine. While her daughter and I were still in high school and her older child (my friend’s brother)was in college, she slept with her son’s friend for like, three months. They snuck around and had sex several times a week until her daughter nearly caught them and then she called it all off.
She would
Never have done that if she had been married so she said that was how she got past that feeling married thing.
I never told either one of her kids or anyone else that knew her and I never will. I still stay in touch with her daughter and I saw her last at her mother’s funeral. She died recently. She was a great friend.
That one of my ancestors was a notorious brothel madam and dodgy business owner in the 19th century. We figured it out after my dad’s side of the family got into DNA tests and family history. It turns out the family history story as told to my grandma and her sisters by their grandma was a complete fabrication to hide the shameful truth 😂 I’m slightly disappointed because it was a fabulous story linking us to aristocracy and exotic seafarers. I’m pretty sure my great-great grandmother (daughter of the brothel madam and a convict) didn’t want me or any of her other descendants to know of the real history.
At my side job, we had a show that slowly turned more and more towards the far-right crowd over time. Eventually, it joined a far-right misinformation network (kinda like a YouTube-style site but with only far-right misinformation as its content). I wasn’t happy about the turn of events but couldn’t find other work at the time.
In one of the email chains between the boss and someone else, I was accidentally CC’d. I discovered that the financial backer for that network was one of the wealthiest people in Canada – not just regular wealthy, but “places named after him” wealthy. And he was doing it through some shadowy accounts, to make the money less traceable. But here I was, accidentally CC’d in an email chain that could blow things wide open.
I was unable to do so, however. Mostly because shortly after, he stopped being alive and the whole network shut down as a result.
But man oh man, it could’ve been a huge scandal. (He was a lawyer and survived by tons of lawyer friends, so I hesitate to release his name.)
My cousin was adopted. Apparently, his Mom was never able to have kids so they adopted but never told him. He’s 36 now with a family and his father passed away last year. He still doesn’t know.

Finding my dad’s prostate massager in the laundry. Definitely didn’t want to know my dad’s into butt stuff.

A Grandparents systematic sxual abuse of my aunts that completely explains everything.*
My dad’s oldest brother (both deceased now) was likely the product of incest between their mother and her father (their maternal grandfather).

That a high school friend has a vore fetish
That my uncle was having an affair with a neighbor down the street (a married women who was my sisters best friends mother)
My friend’s wife has a crush on me.
My ex-friend’s brother is Goatse
I knew my uncle was gay when I was 4. My mom didn’t even know I knew what gay was.
My mom had a white husband before she met and married my dad. I found the pictures of her first wedding. Mom and dad are both American Indian as am I.
That my uncle didn’t actually die in the way that the family was first led to believe.
My 3rd great grandfather had 4 children with one of his slaves. The dependents have been found and we are all friends now!

The truth of how my Nana died.
She died when I was about 10. The only thing I knew was that she was found in the bathroom. I never questioned it my entire life. People die and are found in the bathroom all the time. I figured maybe she slipped and fell or had a heart attack.
Decades later I was having dinner with my younger sister and for some reason she felt it necessary to tell me what she found out from my mother.

I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that. I still don’t know why my sister felt the need to tell me.
My friend of many years has a boyfriend that raped a child and is a registered sex offender.
My dad was in prison for manslaughter before he met my mom. How did I find out? A simple Google search of his name. Was it really him? Yeah, there was a mug shot. I haven’t told anyone in my family.

I was a marriage saver baby…a hail mary, if you will.

My girlfriend was a prostitute before we started dating… And a little bit after we started dating
Edit:typo
Hanger 18, I know too much…
Found a dildo in my dad’s nightstand one day
I was more concerned with the fact that the main silicone of th dildo had been removed, with the hardened plastic inside next to it
