    When I was a kid I saw a video of guy being high on drugs and cutting his own dick off. Was the best demonstration of that drugs are bad 😅

    I’m fairly sure I saw the same beheading video in 2003. I was convinced it was real. My one friend was convinced it was fake. Our other friend couldn’t decide.

    Now, with hindsight, I’m STILL convinced it was real, but I’m wondering if what I saw was an early version of what would later become ISIS.

    ISIS didn’t exist formally yet in 2003, but it’s not like they just came from nowhere. I’m fairly confident that I saw an early version of it with that beheading video.

      Yeah, I used 4Chan for a while as a kid. From what I’ve heard it’s more tame now, but I saw some stuff no person should ever see. I think it helped shape me as a person though, largely in a good way. It helped me form opinions about death and killing that I think are good.

      Personally, I think people should have to watch some combat footage before they vote. Your vote can send people to go kill other people. If you don’t know what that looks like, maybe your opinion on the matter shouldn’t be worth as much. Until you see someone dying (actually dying, not hollywood dying), I don’t think you should be allowed to make decisions about killing people.

        Extra benefit: identify the very small % of people who actually are extremely enthusiastic about it when watching that kind of shit and somehow as society try to deal better with those people…

      I wouldn’t. I didn’t enjoy them, but they seemed important. A brief glimpse into extreme reality.

      I was an adult when that was going around. I decided I wasn’t that curious. I’ve never seen ‘two girls one cup’ either. I don’t regret my choice.

      Edit: I also didn’t need to see the Charlie Kirk murder, either.

        I made it through adolescence without seeing the two girls one cup video. It was a thing to try and trick your buddies into watching it. It’s an odd point of pride for me I dodged that particular bullet.

        Okay that last one is a dramatic masterpiece. You gotta.

        2g1c and beheadings sre missable, but kirk’s a classic, and not particularly gruesome.

          I really don’t. I can’t stand the bloke, but I don’t need to see that.

            Its not the death.

            Its about who he was and exactly what he was saying when he died exactly the way he died. Like a clip that catches his last line.

            If hed been blown up while buying a pack of cigarettes it wouldnt have been special.

        I’ve seen a beheading by some russian nazis in like 2010. As a teenager (around that time) i used to look up rotten.com and facesofdeath a fair bit. A lot i forgot, but some pictures will stay with me until i die. Sounds worse than it is, they just pop up from time to time.

        Recently i searched for random telegram chanells because i was bored and found some israeli and islamic chanells that had a lot of execution and some mild gore content. That dosn’t do anything with me emotionalie, i am keenly aware of the fact that humans murder and kill their own and other species all the time.

        Still haven’t seen two girls and one cup. Not even sure what its about, i think it’s some kink stuff involving bodily fluids? I don’t see any benefit in watching it. The gore stuff at least is a lesson about reality that people from my part of the world aren’t exposed to, at least for now. In a way it helps to stay grounded on how fucked up live is for many people and creatures on this planet, something that is far to easy to forget when living in the ‘sanitized’ west.

          2 girls 1 cup is just nasty internet shock content. It involves

          spoiler

          2 women shitting into 1 cup.

          idk why I bother spoilering, but trigger warning for weird sexual kink I suppose.

          The beheadings and other vile human extremes are just infinitely worse. 2g1c is tame in comparison.

          Recently I watched an alleged Iranian officer take his life at home. Not out of my volition, but while hanging (hah) with friends. This is a few days after the first attack by Israel and USA. I won’t describe it here too detailed but it’s a lot less messy than I thought it would but it would still haunt me. And the cry of a woman out of frame

          2girls1cup is pretty tame compared to a lot of other shit (if you’ll pardon the pun).

          It’s just two hot girls and one shits into a cup and the other eats it - it being what I can only assume is some sort of chocolate desert because no way she just straight devouring dooky.

          Anyways yeah I remember it being a thing in 2008 in college where we all tried to get unsuspecting folks to see it.

    Lots of people talking about beheadings, but the video that I can never unwatch was of a woman in a blank walled room facing the camera and getting unceremoniously shot in the head with a revolver. I’ve no idea if it was real or not, but the lack of, for want of a better word, “spectacle” makes me think it was.

    I don’t want to look it up again to find out but if anyone knows for sure…

      My worst was a cat that was put into a small cage and then poured gasoline on, and then lit on fire. I didn’t even look it up, I just saw (and heard) it because someone else was watching. I never recovered from that

      I saw a lot of unseeable things on the internet, thanks to decades of war and sites like Ogrish. But snuff clips I noped the hell out of.
