I can't imagine orphans have ever been used for anything other than unethical and horrifying experiments.

My brother stuttered after a teacher would yell at him every time he said anything wrong. He refused to talk in school for years after and would stutter at home in fear he’d get yelled at for speaking incorrectly.

I love the creepy way your animations just kind of sway slightly in place...very very sinister...

Teachers: if you fail keep trying again
ME: redos a explosion
teachers: stop!

"chill bro, it's just a social experiment!" - person participating as a ward in the Stanford prison experiment.

That one crazy dad who kept his child in isolation for years to see if she could still talk/interact normally afterwards.
She obviously couldn't
Her life was ruined
He was obviously an independent or sth experimenter

The stanford prison experiment has been shown time and time again by shows like this, the massive issue is that he was manipulating and encouraging the guards, so there was no realness it was literally a teacher pushing to get the results he wanted. It's been discredited as an actual experiment.

The dislikes are from people who came here thinking Frankenstein was on the list

“I sought to prove that people can be lead to being horrible. It went horribly right.”

I was trying to do an experiment and i thought it was going well until my parents yelled at me for adding onions to kool aid

[tommyjohnson]

Milgram wasn’t trying to prove people can do nasty things. He was testing if people would do nasty things when instructed to by an authority figure

Once i experimented while cooking an omelette ...Im glad its not on this list

"Decimated by 10%" that is what decimated means... one in 10.

6:25: this involved orphans.

Me: ok, bye now.

Honestly surprised that, even with time constraints, the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment wasn't included. Especially since it went on for 40 years (1932-1972)
