Hello! For anyone who has severe anxiety like me, You should click off this post! Like, right now!

This is quite literally the worst thing you could be doing for your mental health. I swear to you, looking at descriptions of the most fucked up things people have seen is not worth it, and will only make you more anxious and scared.

There are a thousand other Lemmy posts that you could be reading right now, and that are better for your health, so click off and look at them instead!

Like, /c/cat@lemmy.world for instance.

I was there, in the days of rotten.com

A Man being pulled into an industrial lathe. Spaghettification does not require a black hole...

As i was young Rotten.com

A kick streamer took a homeless woman out on a date in a restaurant then dine and dashed and left her w the bill.. on stream.... i seen all typa cartel gore shit in my time, but this is just a different type of evil. Even worse its a recent story too

I would go to r/eyeblech when it was active. There was some pretty fucked up shit on that sub

There was a Mexican cartel video of a guy they had killed and peeled his face off so it was just bare skull.

As the video continues, the guy rolls over and you see his bare eyeballs moving around... Still alive.

That fucked me up pretty bad, then he reaches up to touch his face & they'd cut off his hands...

I'm never going to Mexico.

Fair warning, I'm not here to judge but take it from someone who spent a lot of time trying to consume the most outrageous internet content to desensitise themselves - it all catches up eventually.

Anyway, this is some of the stuff that comes to mind:

Botfly extractions

Teenage girl suicide (hanging in a tree - too young to die IMO)

Microwaving kittens

Toybox killer transcript and tapes (I don’t like torturing people who don’t deserve it)

People having sex with aborted foetuses

I watched faces of death when I was younger and I saw a hostage situation somewhere in south east Asia. Hostages were getting pulled out of the building on the tail end of the operation.

Mixed in must have a hostile because the security forces shot a guy with shotguns at short range.

It's like his whole chest and back opened up like a book.

I don't seek out gore like I used to. No ukraine war footage, no cartel videos. None of that. I know worse is out there just by hearing about it 2nd hand. (Like the infamous funky town video)

There is a lot of horrifying content out there. Videos of people brutally murdering others are probably among the top imo.

Something that I had a hard time physically looking at was I once stumbled across a man who appeared to be having some sort of psychotic episode. He filmed himself trying to pull a microchip out of his eye. He kept picking at it and gouging it with his bare hands. I don't understand how he was able to do that without screaming in pain. Hope the poor man got better after but who knows what happened.

Edit: And before anyone attempts to ask...no I don't have a link. LiveLeak was where I had seen a lot of things and it doesn't exist anymore. I'm sure there are a myriad of other sites out there if you're morbidly curious. Just don't go asking me for references. Like others said...for many people it can end up messing them up. Don't show anything to anyone else. If you are curious and you think you can handle it, then that's on you. But don't make anyone else see it even if they say they are ok with it.

I'll mention 2: Station Nightclub fire footage and a video of pigs being buried alive in response to a disease outbreak.

r/spacedicks

As a young(er), morbidly curious and then still fairly naive dumbass, I went and clicked on some questionable link on a Reddit thread, and was introduced to something known as “Funky Town”.

That shit set me straight pretty well, been avoiding everything even remotely suspiciously feeling it might be or explicitly is gore-related, but the imagery alone still haunts me to this day, not to mention all the other stuff like imagining how any of the people involved must feel, both emotionally and physically.

I debated mentioning this by name for a fair bit, but I think this thread is specifically for this kind of thing, so I’ll leave it. Anyone clicking here is expecting horrifying things, so it won’t catch anyone off guard. But I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOBODY GOES LOOKING FOR THIS SPECIFIC THING. You will not get it out from behind your eyes. Seriously.

Watching Sadam Hussain getting hung.

Saw it on a computer at school with the whole class

Any type of NSFL content mentionned could be a very bad thing for anyone involved.

I get that you are curious and that's fine but it could cause more harm than you might imagine.

Not on internet but real life. My mother took a pair of scissors, cut from her vagina to her navel then started going sideways releasing bowel in the process.

For sheer human evilness I've seen a beheading video, for pure gore I've seen some lathe accidents. I'm never going near a lathe.

LinkedIn.

Back when the styles project was a site and rotten.com posted real police photos. I was very young and into horror movies but that was over the edge.

That I remember seeing, Encyclopedia Dramatica. That shit made sure to document every disgusting shit that has ever "graced" the collective mind of the internet, like 2 girls 1 cup, zippo cat, 1 guy 1 jar and other shit. Me and my stupid morbid curiosity in reading it at least got me smart enough to avoid actually watching any of those videos.

They also had a shock page with extreme scat, goatse, prolapse and whatever else you can imagine that could shock people.

Tubgirl.

an indian guy on a motor cycle being crushed by a truck

The complete and utter media black out on a genocide. I got banned from facebook 2 years ago for saying a war with a 1-to-50 casualty rate imbalance was more akin to massacre than a war.

Limewire..

as far as most disturbing thing to watch, probably the self-immolation of aaron bushnell back in february. i generally avoid the more messed up infamous internet stuff.

eta: more disturbing, but not quite as punchy due to not being a video, was a post i saw once about a young lady who picked at her legs so much, that they had to be removed. there was a lot of pictures. she eventually dug a hole straight through them.

I saw a group of psychotic cunts cut and eat a piece of someone's heart then laugh at his plea for mercy.

There was some website that I've blacked out that had horrifying video of people dying in accidents. I remember someone sent me a link with a motorcyclist being hit by a train. I never clicked another link from that site.

It was worse than tubgirl.
