"Many people experience the type of bad or unwanted thoughts that people with more troubling intrusive thoughts have, but most people are able to dismiss these thoughts. For most people, intrusive thoughts are a “fleeting annoyance.” London psychologist Stanley Rachman presented a questionnaire to healthy college students and found that virtually all said they had these thoughts from time to time, including thoughts of sexual violence, sexual punishment, “unnatural” sex acts, painful sexual practices, blasphemous or obscene images, thoughts of harming elderly people or someone close to them, violence against animals or towards children, and impulsive or abusive outbursts or utterances. Such bad thoughts are universal among humans, and have “almost certainly always been a part of the human condition”."

Intrusive thoughts - Wikipedia
oh thank heavens. the other day in lecture i had to sit on my hands because i kept thinking about what would happen if i just start screaming and throwing my textbooks at random people and i was really worried that i was actually going to do that. it’s like that caller on The Best Show who has a problem of doing something crazy and weird and then says “I don’t know why I’m doing this.”
the most frequent intrusive thought is the childhood memory i have of seeing my little brother fall six feet and smash his head on concrete and thus suffer a concussion. sometimes that just replays over and over, and it’s really scary and unpleasant, and i have to force myself to think of something else.
"Poisoning occurs when animals ingest broken seeds or break the seed by chewing: intact seeds may pass through the digestive tract without releasing the toxin. Toxicity varies among animal species: 4 seeds will kill a rabbit, 5 a sheep, 6 an ox or horse, 7 a pig, 11 a dog, but it takes 80 to kill a duck"
