While browsing casually, searching something crazy on purpose, stumbling upon stuff by accident, pranked by a friend…

  • Probably not the most disturbing thing but still kind of funny.

    When the internet first came out we were in middle school or high school and my friends dad had great internet connection because he worked for the Navy. Anyways we were amazed that you could find anything about anything just by typing it into the web crawler (I think that’s what the search engine was called back then.

    One night we were just chilling and looking up random stuff and we were like damn, you can literally find anything.

    “I bet they even have horses fucking chickens!”

    And well. Yes. Yes they do.

    Things I didn’t look for. CP. I am trying to forget that to this day. There were children there who were a couple of months to couple of years old. When I realize some of the adults in there were probably their parents it makes me sick.

    The things I looked for. Beheading. There was a reddit post about beheading without providing the video. Even though most of the commenters said that nobody should watch that, I was curious and I looked it up. Now, every time I see somebody say “trust me, you don’t want to see that”, I believe them.

    Probably the kitten video. I stopped watching when I noticed the chopping board…

    I’ve seen a lot of gross stuff, but diturbing? The guy eating another man on a train. Dudes just flailing while he has chunk bitten out of him, everyone on the tube is just filling on their phones.

    I used to work in IT forensics - there’s nothing that will ever be worse than the things I saw there. People are freaking scary.

    But outside work I’ve seen my part of shit, puke and other strange fetish videos, and people being blown up or driven down - being on the internet in the early days sort of made you numb to those things.

    I will say that I saw a paper cut fetish video once. That shit hurt through the monitor.

    Video from the war in Tchechenia. Curiosity. Stopped the video after three minutes. Traumatic experience, it took two years before I was over it.

      Some horrible videos came from this. Can you imagine how horrible it would be with the quality of video and sound these days.

      • In the interest of knowing how dark the world can become, what happened in the videos? I don’t want to experience it, just respect how bad Warzone and genocides are

    There are surveillance camera feeds online and I discovered one was for a camera near where I live.

    I’m older than some in here, I think (judging by the answers). For me, a couple of the things on steakandcheese.com and rotten.com (back in its early days, not the later milder days), cartel videos, beheadings, hangings etc. The standout though was a video called ‘Terrorists, Killers & Middle East Wackos’… Grim stuff. From Wikipedia:

    Terrorists, Killers and Middle-East Wackos (also Terrorists, Killers and Other Wackos in the UK) is a shockumentary video from the makers of Bumfights. It includes footage of riots, suicides, executions, and the televised suicide of R. Budd Dwyer. All the scenes included are real scenes of death and suffering. The Bumfights website store touts the video as “One hour of the sickest images ever put to film.”

    I was young and dumb once, but I actively avoid things like that nowadays. There’s knowing how things happen in the real world, and there’s traumatising and desensitising yourself to the worst depravities possible for… reasons? Just no. You can’t unsee some things, and some things shouldn’t ever enter your consciousness at all (unless you’re really unlucky IRL…).

    It might be subjective but for me the most disturbing thing was the alarming amount of spider porn/hentai. Like, are there actually people out there who fantasize about being mounted by a spider the size of a car? As someone who has arachnophobia, I really don’t understand it.

      I remember seeing photos of people’s heads split open like grapes after terrible accidents, and that politician who committed suicide during a speech, but goatse distrurbed me more when I saw it. I think it was because it was sprung on me by my mate.

          • But it is a neat fact.

            Here’s another! The 1 guy 1 jar guy? Has a very supportive wife, started with coke bottles in the bathtub, and while he had to take a break after his infamous video, he did not stop and got right back on the horse jar as soon as he could.

            Yes all of those puns were very intended.
