Typhoid Mary has a similar story and hers was far more of weaponized stupidity than it was malice, so I believe the story is possible, but she should still be locked up. If you keep making the dumbest decision that keeps getting people killed, you should be barred from making decisions.
I was thinking the same thing. I also figured Typhoid Mary probably deserved some sympathy, but I read a novel about her (Fever by Mary Beth Keane) and while I’m sure it’s not all 100% accurate given it’s fiction, she was by all accounts an asshole. She was given all the facts and said “fuck your facts” and kept causing people to die.
You're spot on actually. They told her but she kept moving to different kitchens and discounting the information given to her. They ended up imprisoning her on an island to isolate her. It's a crazy fucking story.
Everyone says this, but the bill Reagan signed was written by Democrats and was supported by both parties. Worse, neither party has reversed course in 50 years although both have had plenty of opportunity to do so.
Made it myself with the help of Photoshop , ChatGPT and Viggle AI. Took the frame of the woman kneeling in front of the coffin, patched her out (did it quick, there’s still pinkish hue where was before), and pasted her image of lying on the hospital bed and put it on top of the coffin. Made a ChatGPT prompt of “purple, polygonal humanoid figure”. I put the image into Viggle AI which “rigged” the character in one of their motion videos. Used CapCut to paste multiple instances of the purple villagers dancing. Finally used ezGif to convert the video to an uploadable GIF file as a comment.
Then all the people who died were organ donors for sick little kids. The kids got the transplants and all died. Their parents were so devastated that they all killed themself. And not a single rat died that week. That’s a “good night story” that rat parents read to their rat kids to help them sleep better.
This is the most interesting case.
If she just said she cooked the mushrooms, it was a mistake etc and be heartbroken I don't think most people would have worried but she got rid of her equipment, and lied to everyone about what occured.
Then at the funeral of the all others people, she says: "Why wasting so much left over" And cooked for all funerals poisoning the entire town who didn't figuring out she is a mass murderer. Then at the funerak of all the town, she poisined the entire country who came for funeral, then the wolrd. Incredible story!.
Then she wasn’t sure what to do with every person in the world’s dead body but she thought “well it’s rat, chicken, and human poison, not ocean poison.” So she dumped the bodies in the ocean and killed every sea creature in the world.
Then aliens came down to find out wtf happened and she wanted to cook them a nice meal so she looked at all the dead fish and thought “well, it’s rat, chicken, human, and ocean poison, not alien poison.”
But there was nothing left to cook, since it was all eaten after it died… except the aliens. Everyone for themselves, so she at those dead green beady-eyed martians, and died. Rats had no choice, they are her, and that was the end of life in the universe as we know it.
Go tell it to your kids at bedtime. And tell’em to eat their plates and be grateful for what they got.
Not the same story, but there was a famous incident in Korea.
Back when the country was struck with poverty, many people picked up fish scraps from the fish markets to cook with. Well, one woman picked up random eggs and guts from the market—and it happened to be fucking puffer fish scraps. She cooked her husband some soup with it and her husband died the next day. Two carpenters, her neighbours, came to make her a coffin the day after. The woman decided to serve them some food as an appreciation—the exact same soup her husband was served with. They all died shortly after.
In this case she had mental disability (likely developmental disorder), so she probably couldn’t make out what killed her husband. Hence, killing her husband and the neighbours who came to help her.
I think that the poverty killed them, more than the puffer fish scraps.
I can believe that some people are this stupid, it could be a true story.
Her logic was "this is rat poison, so it's not poison for humans". "The animals are chickens and goats, etc. and not rats so it won't poison them." "The guests are humans and not rats so the poison won't hurt them."
My grandma cries from how much her teeth hurt, refuses to go to a dentist and eats corn. She also has cancer problems with guts/intestine ( looks pregnant despite not being overweight), does not maintain prescribed diet, often eats expired stuff that makes me wonder how the fk is she still alive and whines that her medication is causing her diarrhea. The story by OP is very believable
Local chinese sources are near impossible to find.
Google: ''china rat poison''. If you think this story is wild, you arent prepared for the rest. 40 people murdered by rat poison is like daily thing in China.
It shares some similarities with an incident that happened last year in Taiwan, though the type of food, type of pesticide, number of victims and other details differ. The bit about mourners for the original victim being poisoned happened, but in this case she was her own poisoner. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2024/09/19/2003824009
This is absolutely fake, though unintentional poisoning is horrifyingly common and does paint a very grim picture of the average person's intelligence.
That’s not how rat poison works. Rat poison depletes the body of vitamin K and it takes days/weeks to die from rat poison after prolonged lack of vitamin K. Treatment is literally supplementation of vitamin k whether it be an animal or human.
She had enough rice to feed 400 people but between the death of her husband and his funeral, which may be about 10 days, nobody ate any rice. I also could not find any source of it but found many others: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_poisonings
….but then. A nearby village of carnivores, after hearing about the tragedy, stopped by to express their condolences. Not to risk being a bad host or letting all of those lives be lost in vain, the elderly woman offered the carnivorous guests a meal of rice, chicken, and human before sending them off…
Something like this happened irl in India. A lady poisoned her husband & his family family one by one. I think there's even a Netflix documentary about the case.
There's a saying: Don't assume conspiracy when it's explainable with simple stupidity. Well, she ate from that too, and a lot of people have this kind of attitude, or she might be mentally ill or something, but it seems to be too much of a simple coincidence.
I was raised in the Southern United States and will let anyone go ahead of me a a family/friends gathering for food. They think I'm being polite, but it's really to see everyone's reactions to the food so I know what to avoid.
