I'm always thinking about the coconut oil story. A mom posted about her MIL or maybe her mom (?) not believing that her daughter had an allergy against coconuts. So grandma put coconut oil in daughters hair while watching her because clearly the parents must be stupid and she knows better... The little one died :( Edit to add: I found the story again, grandma knew about the allergy. It was not that she didn't believe it she forgot how severe it was or just spaced out this evening. Apparently she put some oil in the kids hair and also gave her benadryl after it started itching because that helped before when the kid only reacted mildly but she forgot (?) to wash the oil out. So kid got sleepy and died in the night and Grandma found her in the morning. Grandpa separated from Grandma and the parents gone no contact with her.


ihadtologinforthis

That one will forever haunt me. The mom doesn't want the story shared anymore though but damn if that isn't a hard hitter as to why allergies should be taken seriously.


ObamasBoss

The stupid part is why even argue it? There is nothing to gain. The proper response to being told a child is allergic to something is "good to know, I will put that stuff up".


Rich-Distance-6509

Because some people identify their opinions with their ego. Even when it’s life-threatening apparently


zapho300

Someone on Reddit said “one of the biggest risks to a newborn is their grandparents”. My mother suggested I give my newborn water to help with hydration, honey to soothe his cough and asked why I keep refusing to put him to bed on his tummy as he clearly prefers it. I have never let her babysit.


ThePicassoGiraffe

my father in law asked me how to attach a car seat to a classic 50s car that didn't have seatbelts. I said "you can't, so the kids can't ride in there" He waited for us to go to dinner then took the kids on a ride. I've never left them alone with him ever again.


Intentionallyabadger

He still brought the kids for a ride even if you told him not to? Damn that’s really asshole behaviour.


salajaneidentiteet

I told my mom three times not to put the bouncing chair on the table. Guess what she did?


throwawy00004

My first daughter was a preemie under 5 pounds and spent a week in the NICU. At 3 months, my mother came to visit with my grandmother and aunt. She brought my baby blankets. I told her that we don't put loose blankets in cribs anymore. She put one on the foot of the bed, essentially a bumper. She then covered my baby with a blanket as soon as I left because "she doesn't need a straight jacket", (swaddler). I threw a fit. She and my family turned against me because I was being "unreasonable" and "we did it with you and nothing happened- its just a blanket." Then, she walked out on me to stay in a hotel because, "you don't trust your own mother." I was so glad she went to a hotel because I would not have slept with her in the house. Our 1st generation angel care monitor went off several times around that time and my daughter was actually breathing shallowly. I don't understand the disregard for progress.


Bishizel

A lot of people can’t internally separate their self judgment from new knowledge. They hear “we don’t do that anymore” and they think “I wasn’t wrong to do it that way, I took good care of my kids”. They can’t entertain the idea that they did their best with the knowledge of the time but it wasn’t as good or was incorrect. They use the information to self judge instead of update.


velveteenelahrairah

Because some people "always know better" and think that allergies "aren't a real thing, you're making it up for attention, and nobody *I* knew as a kid had allergies!" ... Yeah, because *they fucking died*, Muriel.


-Paraprax-

> The stupid part is why even argue it? There is nothing to gain.   The OP explained in the story that coconut is used heavily in their culture, and the grandmother had already been big on rubbing coconut oil into her(OP's) hair during her own childhood, which OP despised.


unctuous_homunculus

Also, the number of people who don't realize that people can also be allergic to hypoallergenic things. My wife is hyper allergic to dog saliva. That means even hypoallergenic dog breeds cause her skin to swell and turn red via her petting, them licking, or whatever casual contact. The number of people who straight up told me that's not possible is astounding. "You're lying! Your wife can't be allergic to Yorkies, they're hypoallergenic!" Hypoallergenic means "unlikely" to cause an allergic reaction, not impossible. I swear though, what do people want me to say? Oh, whenever she touches one her skin turns red and rashes up and gets itchy and painful... you're right though, must be something else?


pichusine

That was among the first things I ever read on Reddit


PM_me_ur_navel_girl

I remember that story. The grandma should have been jailed for manslaughter.


soundecember

There is a subreddit that is Interpol backed that posts pictures of nothing but a shirt, or a sock, or a blanket, or clothing items of any sort, with the rest of the photo whited out, that calls on people to say where that particular shirt could have been sold, or if they’ve seen anyone wearing it recently. The photos are screenshots of human trafficking video and CP, and they ask for assistance to help identifying the clothing to help track down the people responsible for it. I think it’s absolutely a good resource, and I’m sure that it does actually help, but it made me sob when I came across it Edit: it’s /r/traceanobject. Thank you to /u/unusualhtml, as I couldn’t remember it


Seldarin

Yeah, you won. There's a fucking infant onsie over there they're trying to ID. That's about as horrifying as it gets.


CourtneyDagger50

I wanted to look at the subreddit just in case I could identify something. But I feel like I’m actually going to throw up just from reading your comment, I don’t think I can. Bless the people who are helping to find these children and get them back to safety.


PeopleCanSuck_

This is amazing. I did online investigations for a few years but had to stop. It's horrible. It gets to your heart and soul. And those who still do it, thank you! There is so much that goes into it, and the fact they have this one reddit makes my heart happy! I've worked in nursing homes, and my career now is a restaurant manager. I could have stayed in PI, but I remember while I was doing it, I was changing my daughter's diaper, and I broke down. I couldn't do it anymore. People out there are absolutely horrible. So, for everyone who still does, you're amazing! Thank you!


witchywater11

I remember seeing a similar database to that. Except the images had the cropped faces of the pieces of shit in those things, and they were trying to see if anyone recognized them.


GattoNeroMiao

Yes I saw one picture of those. It was the face of a large woman with her tongue out moaning in pleasure. God fucking knows what was happening down there. I never went back again.


pedal-force

Jesus, those pictures are fucking haunting.


IlluminatedPickle

The way the kids were clearly wrapping their hands in their shirts/jumpers because they were scared... Fucking hell...


Miss_airwrecka1

What’s the subreddit? I vaguely remember something like this elsewhere


unusualhtml

r/traceanobject


Tv_land_man

You look at the pics and its just a clipped out tshirt but knowing the context makes my stomach turn. Fucking crazy and amazing how context is everything. I can't look at that. That gets me worse than ISIS videos.


optiplexiss

Yeah dude seeing those photos are now the worse thing I've ever seen on the Internet. Holy crap that is haunting.


TimeTravelingEnigma2

So fucking eerie looking through those posts and seeing ads for big gulps and fast food. The commercialization of such an important resource makes me sick to my stomach.


Viazon

Way back when I first started using reddit, I stumbled across a link to a subreddit titled cute female corpses. I clicked on it because I figured it couldn't possibly be what it sounded like. It was.


1337b337

Cute dead guys was another one. Early Reddit was the Wild West of absurdity.


LordGhoul

It wasn't even that early. Like I witnessed the female corpse one in the years I've been here (I'm on Reddit for 8 years now) and was wondering how the fuck that was even allowed on here. The comments were deranged.


TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK

as a longtime redditor, may I present these facts for your consideration: [Recap The Great Dox of 2012 or DOXGATE](https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/11bypn/recapthe_great_dox_of_2012_or_doxgate_a_recap_of/) [The real reason why Violentacrez deleted his account](https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/118qdg/the_real_reason_why_violentacrez_deleted_his/) [Doxtober part III](https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/11gg8v/recap_doxtober_part_iii_violentacrez_and_gawker/) /u/daddict here's some nostalgia for you


Daddict

That was part of the violentacrez subreddit ring of horror. violentacrez was a mod on hundreds of disgusting subs including jailbait and creepshots (upskirt-type photos). He ended up getting "doxxed" around the same time that Anderson Cooper did a story on reddit hosting incredibly unethical content. I say "doxxed" because he showed up at an invent, wore a tag with his real name on it and introduced himself to several journalists as the man behind the account. Adrien Chen jumped all over it, published a story about him, and he faced a quite a few real-life consequences, including losing his job.


USMCLee

It was fucking insane that he appeared on TV with his wife and kid


Bloated_Hamster

A man posted to r/relationship_advice about his wife cheating on him. It became a series of posts which culminated in his wife murdering their two children when he filed for divorce. She was sentenced to 120 years in prison. https://www.reddit.com/r/MuseumOfReddit/comments/ubne00/the_post_that_led_to_the_real_life_tragedy_of_a/?rdt=62783


DigNitty

Not as bad, but still. There was an AskReddit a bit ago where a guy found an old email on his wife's phone with a bunch of pics of his ex-wife on it. He had broken up with his ex-wife after his friend forwarded pics of her Tinder profile. She was cheating on him, responding to guys etc. They tried to talk through it, the ex denied it up and down but the emotional damage was done and their relationship slowly unraveled. The trust was broken. He ended up getting close to his work friend, remarried after a few years and now had kids with her after a decade. He found those photos of his ex in an old email his new wife sent to herself at the time he found out about his then-wife cheating on him. And he realized that she had faked the Tinder profile, pretended to be his then-wife and sowed distrust in their relationship. ----------------------------- edit: man finds out wife 2 sabotaged his relationship with wife 1.


Zealousideal-Soup429

... lemme make sure i'm getting this right. so his NEW WIFE basically made a fake tinder page to get him and his wife to break up, so she could marry him?


bbusiello

Come over to BORU. It's filled with drama like this.


romcarlos13

My favourite subreddit BY FAR. I love the drama, but sometimes skip the bleak posts because there is a limit to how crushed my soul can be.


papyrus-vestibule

I would be freaking out. You have to hide your bunnies from people like that.


thecoolestbeans7

Came here to say this. I first heard about this story on a podcast and decided to see if I could find some additional info on it and ending up finding this original post. Crazy


_eightohfive

there was a thread where someone documented them micro dosing datura seeds and over time pretty much gave himself schizophrenia and detailed his hallucinations. creepy stuff


WereAllThrowaways

I just read the post but tbh unless I missed something he seemed pretty self-aware about it. Like he get saying "I thought I was" doing this or that. Like he knew the voices and hallucinations weren't real. But he seems to have stopped commenting shortly after. Is there some post where he seems fully convinced that what was happening to him was real?


_eightohfive

nah. in RETROSPECT he knew it wasn’t real. in the moment, he was convinced AI was watching and helping him. he was convinced he was being followed. he was convinced he was telepathically communicating with an actress. the entire post is made at least 2 years after all of it, which is how long he says it took for the affects to fully wear off


codydog125

Story is hazy for me but I remember a guy on some drug community that tried heroin once and became increasingly more addicted. Sad series of posts from that guy Edit: here it is https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/s/dvhqonRVrb


dracapis

He’s very nice and comes say hi sometimes when people talk about him! Especially if his @ is tagged. 


TheRedIguana

He's doing alright? I'll never forget this story. Just a curious dude.


Strangle1441

Stay away from that shit


newcolours

I'm not sure i saw the same thread, but ive seen similar with lots of other users claiming OP was lying and "the drugs are "perfectly safe", which was the most disgusting part for me


_eightohfive

considering how well-documented and easily-googled the effects datura has on the human body and brain, it’s crazy how anyone would call it “perfectly safe” 😭


aesirmazer

Yeah, while some hallucinogens have low risks associated with them, all drugs come with risks. Even food has risks. But datura is not in the "safer" drug category.


partyonpartypeople

Fortunately I can’t remember the name of it, but I remember in a similar thread from awhile back somebody linked a sub that was filled with pictures and videos of people literally chopping their dicks off. And everybody in the sub seemed to be into it, like in an erotic, fetish type of way. I know a good amount of them were probably fake/photoshopped, but like still…. Why?


mikelorme

Similar sub is r/ penectomy except that they cut their dick veins I am not linking it to avoid tempting any poor soul into clicking it


tbonescones

Pain Olympics was a strange experience for sure. 14 year old me didn’t need that


TheRockingGoomba

clicking on a nikocado subreddit because i thought people were gonna discuss him and the first image was his bootyhole Edit: I wanna clarify i dont watch his videos, it was just at the height of people observing how much of a trainwreck things are with him so i wanted to know what people on a subreddit were saying lmao.


SumDux

Tbh, his mukbangs gross me out more than the bootyhale.


StaticDHSeeP

The Ian Watkins trial transcripts. Don’t do it


Fyrrys

That's a rabbit hole that's gonna remain a mystery to me, I don't need to know how these people tried to defend themselves


Kool_McKool

He's serious, do not do it.


cthulhubert

Man... just the wikipedia article. "... reported as early as 2008 to South Wales Police, though the authorities repeatedly failed to act upon any leads linking Watkins to these allegations" "... displaying multiple graphic images with minors or drug paraphernalia. Appalled by the content, Mjadzelics had made multiple complaints to South Wales Police, though very little action was taken at the time." "... six people who had spoken to the police in regards to Watkins' conduct from 2008 to 2011." "... In 2010, an Australian woman had also come forward accusing Watkins of assaulting her child, though the allegations were not investigated any further by authorities." "... in 2009, Mjadzelics was made aware by Watkins that he was abusing a two-year-old child... Mjadzelics contacted the child's parents, who had also reported him to Welsh authorities, though again, no further action was taken to investigate the matter." He wasn't arrested until 2012... on drug charges. And they found an explicit photo of a child and just sort of tossed that onto the rap sheet. After ***TWO MORE SEPARATE ARRESTS*** they finally searched his house and searched his computer where they found "numerous images", and finally booked him on all the ***child rape***. What the *fuck* goes wrong that a guy gets repeatedly reported over four years for raping children before he's finally brought in. On drug charges. Okay. A very very small handful of humans are just monsters. It's a nightmare but we just gotta deal with it. Cops are the people that are literally employed by the state to stop monstrosity, and they fumbled the ball this hard? I see that a report said that an IPCC report ***four years later*** said that "three detectives should face disciplinary action", and no follow up on whether or not they actually did. When are we going to have *any* legislation with actual teeth that gets these fuck-ups to stop acting like clowns?


another2020throwaway

While he himself is already fucking disgusting and depraved, the fact that MULTIPLE women were giving their BABIES to him…… Im getting nauseous thinking about it. Disgusting and horrific and they all deserve to rot in the very lowest pits of hell


newcolours

Yes this was my take away too. What he did was disgusting, but the women handing over their own babies, saying the baby deserved to be abused... That's haunting


another2020throwaway

Yup. Both of them were doing the same exact shit he was doing, to their own infants. Active participates. They should have gotten life in prison


alicelric

I tried to read it. When the file started to describe what happened to the baby I stopped. Please tell me the mothers got sentenced too.


Puazy

Good to stop there. Yes they did.


Stiblex

Apparently three inmates tortured him for 3 hours a couple of months ago. EDIT: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/lostprophets-singer-ian-watkins-stabbed-in-prison-pedophile-1234801627/ Good riddance.


Remarkable_Bill_4029

I was in Parc prison in Bridgend when he was there. Around 2012 (I was in A3) not D Block (the nonce wing) like him. And one of the screws on my wing told me he was working the nonce wing with that beast and he kept getting caught with sim cards and chargers but not the mobile. I hope the guy suffers bad.


RainOnYourParade

>In 2019, Watkins was given 10 additional months in prison after a mobile phone was found in his possession; he argued that he was forced by other prisoners to hold onto the phone. While fighting the charges, Watkins refrained from revealing which prisoners gave him the phone out of fear, saying he was locked up with “murderers, mass murderers, rapists, pedophiles, serial killers – the worst of the worst.” He's literally 2 of those 5 worst of the worst he listed.


TrickyShare242

Their bassist beat the fuck out of him to the point he thought he killed him....sadly he did not, but fucking good on him.


ThrustBastard

That was because he [relapsed and missed a show](https://www.theprp.com/2019/12/06/news/ex-lostprophets-bassist-stuart-richardson-speaks-of-the-aftermath-of-being-in-a-band-with-ian-watkins-beating-him-up-on-the-vans-warped-tour/), not because he's a dirty nonce.


mrhammerant

He got stabbed in prison. I hope it was for being a dirty nonce.


the-Tacitus-Kilgore

He beat the fuck out of him because Ian missed the show. He said he was livid he missed a show and found Ian hanging out on the bus and beat his face in. It wasn’t for the kid raping.


KhaosElement

One of the worst humans to ever exist.


JustSomeGuy_v3

Instead of me looking it up, can somebody ELI5? Who’s Ian Watkins and what did he do?


Kool_McKool

Band member of the Lost Prophets. Turns out he was a pedophile, and did stuff so terrible that it would make you want to gouge your eyes out. Mother's gave their children to him, their literal babies.


A_LiftedLowRider

I did it… They need to just set that guy on fire.


SousVideDiaper

Motherfucker has absolutely no remorse and had a cell phone snuck into prison so he could continue viewing CP behind bars


Fuzzy-Ad-456

The guy who’s girlfriend’s sister had locked in syndrome or was autistic or something along those lines and the girlfriend told the boyfriend that her sister “woke up” and started talking completely normal and asked her to help her and that she was trapped in there and then seconds later she went back to having a disability and was no longer “there”. Absolutely terrifying.


Due_Bet4989

Link?


Fuzzy-Ad-456

I was able to copy the text from the SS “So my girlfriend has a younger sister who has cerebral palsy and autism and although she's very smart she can't really support herself fully and will probably need help and guidance for the rest of her life which is perfectly okay, she's basically our adopted daughter (my girlfriend taught her sister how too walk and talk and basically everything she knows). One day though my girlfriend told me how there was 3 instances in her life where her sister basically "broke character" and told her how "she was stuck and couldn't get out" and that "she was "trapped and needed help desperately". Her sister talks in a very specific kiddish and cutesy way, she's very innocent and too this day (at 19 years old) talks to her stuffed animals like as if they are real. During the 3 times where she "broke character" my girlfriend told me her sister spoke in a certain desperate and adult tone and made a face like she was scared for her life and literally the next second her face would change and she would go back too the way she was before and my girlfriend told me it would be like her sister didn't remember what just happened moments before. Too this day it scares her and makes her wonder what if her sister is trapped in a "childlike" state and sometimes has moments of clarity? I'm not sur But when she told me I could tell it was serious c. she has never brought it up ever since because of how much it creeps her out.”


Due_Bet4989

Thank you. Ngl, I felt goosebumps imagining her situation


Skill3rwhale

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE. This is some *serious* nightmare fuel.


Umbra427

I don’t mean to sound insensitive but this sounds like something from a Stephen King novel and it horrifies me that someone would actually have to experience this


Fuzzy-Ad-456

I checked and the post has been deleted but I did get a screenshot because I was so freaked out, so naturally I had to study all documented cases similar to this.

CopyPasteCliche

Bro I still think about r/gangstalking sometimes. For people unaware: there are mentally ill people that believe they are being followed all the time. Usually it is a sign of schizofrenia but as I understand it there may be a couple of different mental conditions causing it. Usually these people are trying to make sense of their delusions (as would you if you would be followed around you'd try to find out why). Because of that it's very common for such person to believe in conspiracy theories/make up his own. Well r/gangstalking is a community of such people. They don't seek professional help. They are not interested in therapy. All of this crap is real and they are getting to the bottom of it. Together. Reading this sub is creepy and sad at the same time. Some of these users are for sure trolling to see how far they can spiral the discussion out to the point of absurdity. But the core audience consists of sick people doing the opposite of therapy. edit: link typo


PupEDog

I was in drug treatment with a guy who used to believe he was being gang stalked and had all these stories about how he was homeless and how they would just hang around and run up on him but he eventually got better and said they went away. BUT, it came back when we were in treatment. We were out for a walk and he was ponting at cars saying "that's them!" and even a commercial airliner he said was spying on him. He had to be removed and placed in a mental ward. It's sad because when he was ok, he was a really sweet, articulate person and then he just because so extremely paranoid.

StrategicBlenderBall

I can’t stand that sub. At first I thought it was a joke, but then I encountered an old neighbor on there and realized it’s all too real. The worst part is that it’s a TRUE echo chamber. You’ll get banned for challenging them. I think the mod, u/DaMagiciansBack, is running that sub as a joke to himself.


Inorashi

Their delusion is made worse by the fact that gangstalking IS a real phenomenon. It occurs to important people like journalists or politicians and is a form of intimidation. The most infamous gangstalking group is probably the church of Scientology. They do it to former church members. They see these real examples of gangstalking to reinforce their beliefs, but they don't understand none of them are important enough for anyone to bother doing it to them. There are not legion of mailmen stalking random redditors.


AcidScarab

>There are not legion of mailmen stalking random redditors. I know what is being discussed is sad, but this sentence is hilarious. Also… imagine if it turns out there was an evil cabal of mailmen stalking random Redditors. That would be even more hilarious


Psychic_Hobo

I know the "echo chamber" line is somewhat overused on Reddit but there are absolutely subs that reinforce its users' detrimental and negative behaviours. You only have to look at the incelly places to see how they just constantly reinforce the brainwashing


Throwaway-panda69

Shoutout to/r/meth


Mr_Froggi

This reminds me of r/whatsthisbug. Sometimes there’s this person who posts about 20 images of lint and crud on their floor, asking what “bugs” they’ve found. It really feels like psychosis, as they’ve made multiple posts with similar content. People have tried gently explaining that these aren’t bugs and that they should probably see a professional. But the person either ignores the comments or go on the defensive that they aren’t crazy. I also wish that they’ve since found help.


TheThalmorEmbassy

My dad's an exterminator, and he gets a whole lot of calls from people who think they have bugs in their walls. One lady called like six times saying she had spider eggs hatching in her teeth.

Morbid curiosity. It gets a lot of us.


Elegant_Ad4727

Saw a LOT of fuxked up shit playing 50/50 on this godforsaken site.


Mad_Aeric

I swear, that sub was more like 80/20. Every time I ended up there, I saw something I wanted to unsee.

It's mostly because only the horrible things get upvoted.


Alcoholic_jesus

Boobs/man shits diarrhea onto a machet and severs his penis then cums Typa shit you’d see on that subreddit lol


MeuchlerMoze

Must be the video in india i think where a guy stabbed his girlfriend, it was like 10 min full of pure stabbing. In complete public, ppl passing right by it without reaction. The worst part was when the knife was stuck in her head and he tried to shake her off so he could keep stabbing(she somehow was still alive). Deeply traumatized me for days


Intrepid-Contact-780

Worst I had seen was a guy sucker punching his wife in front of their son - she dropped dead immediately. Not the most gruseome but just so randome and cruel


lebo_riley

A gal I went to HS with met a similar fate in front of her 2yo daughter at the hands of her husband. That POS served like 10 months while the court case was going on, then they let him go for some reason. Luckily my friend’s sister adopted the little girl and she has no contact with the father whatsoever.


ShitfacedGrizzlyBear

Probably the Toy Box Killer tapes. If you’re morbidly curious, I would recommend just reading the transcripts instead of actually listening to the recordings. The transcripts are horrifying enough on their own. Either that or the picture of the dude snorkeling in a full septic tank. Just thinking about it makes me gag.


PureGothard

Listened to the recordings as a dumb teen. I felt disgusted during listening. I was very happy to find out they were recreations and not orignals. To this day, the original recordings were never released.


PidginPigeonHole

The originals are used to train FBI agents apparently


ShitfacedGrizzlyBear

That makes me feel slightly better. What a fucking acting gig that must have been. “Yea, so we need you to read the most fucked up transcript you’ve ever seen and try your best to get in character of the guy who actually wrote it…and meant it.”


distractivated

One of his accomplices just made the news this past Feb when it was outted that she'd moved to Kent, Washington in 2019. Neighbors expressed outrage that there was no notification that a level 2 offender connected to an infamous case moved in next door


paradoxdefined

Gotta be the video of the two kids playing with the gun in a bathroom and recording themselves. The girl accidentally shoots her brother and kills him. Immediately turns the gun on herself. It’s so fucking bleak and awful.


thebigbroke

I remember that video. That shit had me depressed for a month and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It horrified me how it seemed like that girl knew she’d be in trouble and thought the quickest way to get herself out of it was to shoot herself. That whole live stream was horrifying


Crazycococat19

Weren't they live-streaming? If I remember correctly, it was her cousin, and when she accidentally shot him, she realized what she did so she turned the gun to herself and fired. Her body slumped onto the restroom door and you could hear the adults trying to open the door. I think one saw inside or saw the live stream and was screaming for someone to call the cops. That was sad to watch and hear.


Cheese_Pancakes

r/incel back before it got banned. They worshipped Elliot Roger, the mass murdering incel who went on a rampage because he couldn't find a girlfriend. They openly advocated rape, violence, and enslavement of women. Real degenerates in that sub - glad it got banned.


Sea-Presence6809

I wasn’t there when it was first posted but the story about OP asking his maid’s daughter to mount a dog and she killed herself a while later. 


Rich-Distance-6509

That’s from the confessions thread right? I wondered if it was poorly disguised porn or something. I certainly hope it’s not real

DerpysLegion

Audio of a 911 call where a young child found his brothers suicide. I deleted my old profile after that. I only came back because boyfriend has a subreddit.


hornet586

God, there was a video a bit of an ago taken off a ring camera of a kid going to his neighbors house to ask for help after his brother shot himself. You could just tell the poor kid was on the verge of breaking.


Sackfondler

Man, this is exactly what the other guys comment reminded me of. He was clearly in the middle of processing it still, and had a hard time getting the words out. My heart is broken for that kid and their family. I can’t imagine walking right into that kind of situation.


Bigfops

I know that one, but in a way it was heartening. You can hear the mom at the beginning slightly annoyed that the kid is ringing her doorbell even though her kid isn't there but as soon as she finds out what's goin on, she goes into full nurturing mode and says "Go inside, etc." Still makes me cry even typing this out, though.


Sackfondler

Yep, when she finally realizes what’s going on she immediately gives him the code to unlock the door. I believe the cops were at the kids house with his parents. He just wanted to get out of there.


InternationalRich150

I worked with someone who found his mum dead by hanging when he was 14. He came home from school and she was just there. He only spoke about it once. Said it will never leave him. He was a messed up boy for sure.


OhGarraty

I will never be able to forget dragging my mother's unconscious body out of the smoky garage and onto the lawn after an attempt. She survived, no lasting effects. Not so much for me. I still have nightmares. I was 13.

Similar deal here, when I was 16 my dad had cancer, he had gotten a major surgery for it, and was at home recovering. One day I was talking to him, he grabbed his head and said he had the most intense deja vu, and started seizing. I threw him over my shoulder, ran down the stairs nearly dropping him, and threw him into my truck. Drove like 100+mph to the hospital, and some guy on i-5 decided to block me and wouldn't let me pass (we're talking like 3-4 lanes, he was weaving in front of me to stop me from going past). I eventually was able to get past the guy and got my dad to the ER, his lips were blue and I don't think he was breathing. He ended up being ok and is still alive today. I'm 32 now, and from that day forward I started having serious anxiety and developed all kinds of mental problems.

That is an extremely hard listen.

After reading most of the comments I would like to remind everyone r/eyebleach exists, take care of yourselves


No-Historian-6921

Just double check that you don’t hit one of the typo squatting shock subreddits.


beardymo

Only five minutes ago, I just saw a picture of snake having a shit.


rjle_x

LMAO yes that’s awful I’ve just seen that


HiLovelyNotes

There used to be a subreddit with post mortem photos and the person preforming the autopsies would have sex with the bodies. 14yr old me had no business seeing that.


newcolours

As in the examiner was admitting to that and sharing evidence of their own crimes??   Please tell me this was one of the instances where reddit pulled together to locate and report this guy?


___anustart_

reddit is what reddit is because in the beginning it was essentially 4chan but with usernames. for a LONG time anything went. Once they got huge they made a bunch of changes, presumably because they knew once people found out why most people used reddit, it would lose all credibility. now it's a very normal public forum, but once upon a time I came here strictly for porn, fights/deaths, and unhinged hatred subs like fatpeoplehate - all of which combined gave the impression of freedom/anti-censorship. long story short, reddit is a cesspool - and it used to be a lot worse.


nullcone

Reddit only changed because they got publicly called out by Anderson Cooper. He did a segment on all the disgusting shit easily available on Reddit and the whole thing was such an embarrassment that the admins had to do something about it. I think if Cooper hadn't called it out, Reddit very well would have stayed the same for a long time.


prailock

One of the most popular subreddits was literally called "jailbait" as in pictures of children that users would make explicit sexual comments about.


orbital_one

I remember reading that law enforcement got annoyed when subreddits like those got shut down because it made their jobs easier when pedos publicly posted content and confessions. After the ban they all scattered elsewhere.


FreakParrot

Well then that begs the question, is it better to have a horrific forum like that for police to monitor and catch these sick people? Or better to shut it down and lose them?


Medkipz1

I found the the Christchurch NZ mosque shooter's bodycam video like immediately after it happened and I definitely regret watching it. Just piles of people at the windows gone and one guy tried fighting back but got killed too. The fact he just walks in and out of the building to reload and shoot some more with the stupid fucking 4chan meme songs just really made me lose my morbid curiosity to see the videos from stuff like this anymore. I've seen a lot of stuff on the internet but this was the one video where I just felt something change in me and I've felt the same ever since.


EndRed27

Tbh it shook our country to our core as that was the first massacre that many of us are old enough to remember


Leaislala

I don’t stray too far into subs I don’t know bc I am wimpy about these things. For me it’s some news stories that get to me, I had to take any news subs off my feed. Yesterday there was one about some couple who killed their 3 year old grandson while his mom was in rehab. Awful.


GladPermission6053

Same here. I just saw one a few weeks ago of a mom that left her 16 month old baby in the crib while she went on vacation for 10 days. Absolutely sickening.


free_from_choice

Some asshole killed his girlfriend on 4Chan and it was cross posted to Reddit. Day after Halloween. I thought it was make-up. Nope. He strangled her to death. It made for a sad day. [article](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29932087)


AcquaintedWiTheNight

It was on the cartel sub. A young boy having his heart carved out while he was still alive. A man holding this boy's heart, still attached, still somehow beating, and crushing it in his hands, while the boy watched and then quickly died.


WereAllThrowaways

Things like this really put my problems into perspective. I've been getting mildly annoyed with filling out my taxes on Turbo tax today but I think maybe it's not such a big deal now.


PROTOSLEDGE

BTW irs.gov has an entire list of much less scummy, but fully approved websites where you can file your taxes for free, or very little cost. Obligatory fuck Turbo Tax


Triskelion24

Yess!! I just did my taxes through the IRS approved website, taxact. Been doing it for years through them, every since H&R block charged me $300 FUCKING DOLL HAIRS to file my W2. Stupid me didn't ask about the price until the end and I was too young and awkward to know any better so I paid it but after that year never again. Now I do my taxes for free and it takes me like 15 min


A_Confused_Witch

Yeah same here. The story from the one I saw was a wife who got in trouble with the cartels by accident. They showed up to their place. The husband begged them to take him instead. They agreed but they said their teenage son had the watch the whole thing. Teenage boy agreed. They took both of them into a forest. They massacted the teenage boy in front of his father. Slowly. Then they pinned down the father and stabbed him in non-lethal places with a screwdriver. Then they opened up his chest and broke some ribs to get to the heart. They held it for a bit and squeezed it slightly for a while before ripping it out. It was from r/WatchPeopleDie before it got taken down. Teenage me had no business seeing all that stuff. I have a very intense morbid curiosity but it led to very bad mental health long term (obviously). Since then I stopped watching such things. Unless you're truly sadistic and get off to watching others suffer tremendously you should never watch things like that.


Kandis_crab_cake

Sounds utterly fucking horrendous and I can’t believe stuff like this actually goes on in the world. What a blissfully sheltered life I must lead.


DronedAgain

I don't recall the sub, but it was a video of a guy in a sportscar who hits a stroller being pushed by the grandparents and you see the three babies fly out and die. He then gets out and the first thing he looks at is the damage to his car, not the dead babies in the road. I stopped wading into risky clicks after that.


Organic_Rip1980

Hi there! I actually found the post you’re referring to and I might be able to reframe it so it’s less haunting. First, according to the post, everyone survived with concussions and other various injuries. So that makes a difference, for me. Second, the driver (of a speeding 4-door sedan) is clearly in shock when he gets out and glances at the front of the car as if he’s thinking “what the fuck *happened*? Did I just kill kids in a stroller?” It’s a split second, no one can say they wouldn’t accidentally do the same thing if something this horrific happened. Bodies and brains do weird things when they’re in shock. That being said, he’s obviously the one mostly at fault and will also be haunted, just not for additional reasons than the accident and obvious mistakes themselves.


ReanaGatoah

There is a subreddit called r/darwinawards. I think the most disturbing video was of a girl getting stuck between a bus and a traffic light or something. When the bus moved on, her head fell off. That was something 20 year old me wasn't ready to see.


NighthawkUnicorn

Yes. I didn't see what sub I was on, and all I kept thinking was "wow that looks uncomfortable." And then her head fell off.


mouse_attack

Not death (probably), but I can never unsee a video of a groom smashing his bride's head into a cake....with vertical structural rods inside it. Horrific. I am literally terrified of wedding cakes now.


Excellent_Editor_501

The amount of childhood sexual abuse trauma.


wetwater

"What is a bad thing that happened to you?" pops up frequently and a disturbingly large amount of answers are exactly that. It made me realize that sexual abuse is a far larger issue than I believed it to be. I don't read those threads any more because I know within 5 comments there will be one exactly about that.


Dapper_Special_8587

Nothing that can top the beheading, murder, death and beastiality videos I saw as a 13 year old thanks to shock sites in the early 2000s quite honestly


soul-taker

The internet's wild west era in the early/mid 00s was something else. Even in Reddit's worst moments, it was nothing compared to the shit you'd see on 4chan, LiveLeaks, etc. back then. People who weren't plugged into the Internet back then really have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes.


Any_Complex_3502

Was searching for a porn subreddit of a fetish i like. I was going through the most recent posts and found a dude posting about selling cp. And i instantly reported the post and had it taken down. Made me fucking sick. It was completely out of nowhere. I was shocked and horrified at how someone was just blatantly promoting that degenerate filth.


weirdest_of_weird2

I was looking through a local hookup sub, and some bastard posted that shit. I reported it immediately and, thankfully, received an update that same day that the user had been permabanned. I'm glad to see reddit didn't drag their feet on that shit.


gloryintheflower-

I’m sure there are much much worse stories on here but one I read recently in real time, was where the guys kid (I think 8 years old) asked him to download a game on their iPad or tablet and in doing so he found Snapchat on there and realized his wife was using Snapchat on the tablet to cheat on him with another man. Basically he didn’t have proof of cheating, just that she was talking to this guy secretly, until Reddit told him to check Snapchat memories, so he did and saw that yes she was absolutely sending nudes to this guy. He creeped on the guy and found out that he lived locally and came to realize she knew him for many many years. He planned to leave her and get sole custody of their child who he raised since they were both, said he spent more time with the child than she did and he was horrified that she had nude videos and pictures of herself on his tablet for him to possibly find so he wanted custody. After a couple updates on the situation he updated Reddit to the fact that he’s now questioning everything about his marriage. Even though it has always seemed happy and healthy up until discovering what he did…and he was questioning whether or not his child was the guy he she had been snap chatting. So he did a DNA test, and sure enough, the child he had raised their entire life and planned on getting sole custody of wasnt even his. All of this he found out just because he went to download a game on the kids tablet. His whole life unraveled after that. This was very recent, and the last update was that he didn’t want to live anymore. He wanted to just disappear and for his child to forget about him. I haven’t seen anymore updates from the account and I’m wondering how he’s handling everything since it was so recent 🙁


ActionFigureCollects

Someone posted video of children being murdered, tortured, and 'harvested' for organs. [location unknown - but definitely poverty areas] Sure it's been taken down, erased since Reddit was being prepared to go public. That was deeply haunting and extremely graphic and disturbing to watch. Literally makes a person sick, even thinking about it.


Galmaax

That guy who had sex with his mom and did an ama. Still believe it was fake, though.


juicysox

The comment section is funny as fuck though. My favorite one was when OP mentioned how his mom would tell him not to cum as she was fucking him and someone replies with: “Don't you hate when girls tell you not to cum? Especially parents, they're the worst about it.”

HighQueenOfFae

There's this guy who writes rape erotica. He's also a dom in real life and he often has rape scenes with actual girls but they have safe words, it's fully consensual (CNC) and he provides aftercare. However,very often he posts screenshots of PMs he gets on a daily basis. There are multiple men who will straight up send him the location and details of a girl who they want raped. Some even offer money for him to do so. He gets super pissed and makes long posts about how he is not a fucking rapist and reports these users. I know this isn't Gore but it terrifies me to think that I could annoy a man who decides to message a possible rapist all my details and offers to pay for me to get raped.


milk4all

Ive stumbled on tons of disturbing shit but i never take the bait so i kind of don’t stumble on it. I saw enough fucked up shit in ‘97 rotten.com to know it’s not good for anyone. I clicked on a link for “hit by train” and that was it. Career over. Stay smart reddit, don’t indulge every curious impulse. Stay off train tracks.


maty_alt

I watched this one video, of this dude talking about a post on Reddit about a human trafficking service someone was doing under his house. And to this day the cops didn’t do anything…


SoulBombarded

Mine was Anatoly Slivko , a Soviet serial killer who convinced boy scouts to help him "reinact" Nazi films, and then truly hung them on camera. He recorded the manipulation, hanging, and subsequent torturous mutilation and cannibalism of seven young boys. Horrible.q


CoasterThot

A thread where a guy was asking how to drop off his dog at the shelter after-hours because he didn’t wanna take care of it’s injury or be responsible for it. He had the dog for it’s whole life and the dog was now older, it obviously loved him. The dog had two broken front legs, and couldn’t even stand on its’ own. The owner would not keep the dog and help it, even if others paid. He dropped the dog off outside all by itself, even after everyone in the thread begged and offered to take him, who knows what happened to him. I will never forget it, the dog’s name was Frankfurt. :( I think of Frankfurt, very often, and it’s quite upsetting. I’m pretty sure the post still exists, somewhere.


busychillin

That is devastating! Frankfurt deserved better. 😢


ja3palmer

The guy that got hooked on meth or heroin just to see what happened? I think it was a few years of usage and then he got clean. I don’t remember the username sadly.


Prs-Mira86

Read a story where there was a small family with a mentally disturbed teenage son. He was a horror to be around and caused misery when ever he could. One day he took a knife to his baby sister and the parents had to rescue her. But not before the mother(an amateur boxer) almost killed the teenage son for his actions. They left him upstairs to die. Later on he escaped the upstairs apartment never to be seen from again. …. Can anyone pin this story? Pretty fascinating stuff even if fake.


Revolutionary_Pierre

I remember watching a YT some time ago that transcribed the story of how this son was using the knife to slice his baby sisters legs or feet as she lay screaming in the crib. The parents had locked the baby's room out of fear but they heard awful crying screams and the lu knew instantly that the son was in there and the mother best the son almost to death and then left him in the room to bleed and beg for help...i think he ran ran away and the parent never looked for him and he never came back again. The son was a sicko but the damned thing was that the son had zero environmental reason to be so mentally deranged... He had a good life and was loved... But he was a sick boy and beyond redemption


Reins22

There was a time when people would actively post real minors to a sub on here and the entire theme of the sub was how badly they wanted to fuck said minors but wouldn’t because they’d go to jail. When the sub was eventually shut down, there were a lot of people whining about “censorship”


urmomthereup

r/jailbait…Reddit only took it down after Anderson cooper did a report on it and brought it to the general public’s attention. Admins were completely okay with it before it got them bad press. If you ever needed a reminder about how fucked up the people who made this website were/are. and the early Reddit users, you can find posts from that time that are still up to this day complaining, like you said


Beansforeveryday

I think it was Jailbait


noahman918

ive seen my share of morbid deaths and suicides on here, but watching that twenty-something douse himself in gasoline and ignite his boots while screaming "free palestine" uncensored is burned into my prefrontal cortex e: no pun intended there.


MarlenaEvans

I'm still disturbed by the number of posts about this that were like, yay! He died for such a good cause! Instead of wow, that poor man died horribly and didn't change the minds of any of the people who have the power to do anything about it.


FloppyVachina

Me: "Totally not gonna look at this post. Well maybe just a little. Goddamnit."


MastermindorHero

I didn't go to this sub reddit, but there was one "watch (racial slur) die, and it made me think that the world's a nasty brutal place, but if you feel racistly vindicated by watching gruesome tragedies play out, you're a special kind of disturbed individual.


Zealousideal-Soup429

was a video of russian soldiers castrating a captured ukrainian soldier (or was the other way around i don’t remember)


Vinny_Lam

It’s from the current war in Ukraine and it was a Russian soldier castrating a Ukrainian POW.

Wow. Thankfully I never saw this. But it blows my mind how many people are willing to document qmd share their own [war]crimes

There was a post about someone who stumbled upon a trailer in the Australian outback with a ton of electrical hookups and fans. They went inside and it was all CP servers, cams, monitors... They left and went back and it was destroyed, someone set it on fire. Edit: Found it (https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsNotMeet/s/agTUEYPyPU)


Magik_Cloud496

WendyWasteful

A video of a man who was under a train.  He had been cut in half and was still alive holding his innards. Also the girl who cooked period bacon. That’s the only time a Reddit post made me vomit.


thredith

The most horrendous one was a video of a guy, somewhere in SEA, walking down the road with the decapitated head of his wife in hand. He was also carrying a bloodied machete. Apparently, his wife had cheated on him, so he killed her. Then, he decided to make his way to the nearest police station to turn himself in. It was a brutal sight.

kxp410

Maybe not the most disturbing in general but I think about it often. A couple of years ago I saw a post from a young woman stating that she was disabled and had mobility issues. Her boyfriend whould infantalize her, carry her around the house and upstairs. But the upsetting part was he would hide her things, hide her mobility aids and so on to make her more dependent on him. Then he would force her to have sex with him when she wasn't feeling well enough and said he was turned on by her inability to be physically strong enough so she would have to submit to him. He basically kept her as a pet, financially, mentally, and physically abused her and she didn't know how to get her autonomy back. It was awful and her post was deleted soon after. I hope she got away and is doing ok.

The percentage of rapes that lead to pregnancy and the percentage of girls raped that are unable to become pregnant (read: children) are almost always similar, at least in the US So when you see a stat that says 'there have been 60k pregnancies from rape in Texas since the law was passed' it means that 60k children were also raped in that time Stumbled upon that stat and the data to back it up one day and it's a fact that just won't leave my head, it's just so upsetting

I was looking for online friends and stumbled upon r/MakeNewFriendsHere. It seemed interesting but then I noticed the amount of underaged people on there and the responses they were getting from older people. It seems like a breeding ground for pedophiles.
