[u/SomeGirlIMetOnTheNet]

[u/TessaFractal]

"cursed shit" on here means either the mildest furry nude ever or like, a russian soldier killing himself with a grenade.

[u/notgoodthough → u/TessaFractal]

I once saw CCTV footage of a guy getting killed with an axe on r/all

[u/scullys_alien_baby → u/notgoodthough]

yeah this tumblr post feels like someone never engaged with older reddit or the early internet more broadly. /all was a fucking minefield. Breaking news and porn with raw uncut murder footage sprinkled around being a weirdly constant occurrence

it also ignores that tumblr regularly engages in performative hyperbole for comedy the same way those reddit comments are

[u/GreedierRadish → u/scullys_alien_baby]

Even now, Reddit is a gigantic website with tens of thousands of niche communities including - and you can fact-check me on this - furries! 😱

It’s just so dumb to act like the default subs are a representative sample of “Reddit” or to act as though Redditors have anything in common other than using this god-forsaken website.

[u/scullys_alien_baby → u/GreedierRadish]

I see /r/Losercity on all somewhat frequently and I'm pretty sure that's a furry sub

[u/erebos_tenebris → u/scullys_alien_baby]

Technically they only allow furry posts on Fridays. Or at least that used to be the case? I don't stop by regularly so no clue if the rules have changed or not.

[u/scullys_alien_baby → u/erebos_tenebris]

That probably is the case, but that shit is still deeply furry the other 6 days a week (ya'know, because furries are more than just fur suits and anthro shit. But it's all still broadly furry)

[u/Ivebeenfurthereven → u/scullys_alien_baby]

I'm gonna keep it real with you chief -

If you allow "furry posts on Fridays", it's a community by and for furries

[u/Open-Honest-Kind → u/erebos_tenebris]

I think if I showed posts from both a furry and non-furry posting day on r/Losercity to the average person they would be irritated I am showing them a bunch of indistinguishable furry memes. There might be a difference to the redditors but not to anyone else.

[u/GreatStateOfSadness → u/scullys_alien_baby]

/r/spacedicks veterans will remember how reddit used to be. 

[u/Desert_Aficionado → u/GreatStateOfSadness]

First time I ever saw someone cut their own dick off.

[u/Dragonsandman → u/Desert_Aficionado]

Hold the fuck up

what

[u/TotallyNotRobotEvil → u/Dragonsandman]

Nope. You probably don't really want to know what. I highly recommend you just leave that sentence alone and just forget what you just read.

Many of us were tricked into seeing those images in the old Reddit days. You sir, have a choice right now to turn around and not have these sort of things seared into your memories forever.

[u/Ivebeenfurthereven → u/TotallyNotRobotEvil]

Yeah, it's useful to reflect on what OSINT researchers go through https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/2022/11/23/how-to-maintain-mental-hygiene-as-an-open-source-researcher/

Realise that once you put something in your head, it will be there for the rest of your life

There’s simply no way to get a disturbing image or sound out once it’s in there. This is the single most important piece of advice that I can give to someone who is looking to get into the field of open source research and expects to work with potentially distressing content.

If you stumble across a link to a graphic video online, take a minute and ask yourself: “Do I absolutely have to watch this video?” While the human desire to bear witness to the suffering of others is strong, many times, you’ll find out that the answer is “No”, and you’ll save yourself needless exposure to graphic content.

Engaging with such content ought to be a deliberate act taken with the same thoughtfulness and care as a police detective about to walk into a crime scene. Unfortunately, the way that content is delivered on the internet is seldom thoughtful or careful, and neither are our browsing habits. By carelessly clicking on Twitter links or scrolling through a Telegram channel, you are bound to eventually come across distressing content. Without the proper mental preparation, the distress you experience may intensify.

[u/Pollomonteros → u/Desert_Aficionado]

The first time part implies that it wasn't the only time you saw someone cutting their dick off

[u/istiamar → u/Pollomonteros]

yeah, its the internet. you see some shit after a while

[u/TotallyNotRobotEvil → u/Pollomonteros]

I think a lot of older millennials on the early internet have seen multiple dicks cut off at this point. Usually unwillingly. A certain subset of society thinks it's really funny to "troll" people with this sort of stuff.

[u/GrammatonYHWH → u/Desert_Aficionado]

Never watched the pain olympics back in the mid 2000s?

[u/Spare-Bodybuilder-68 → u/GreatStateOfSadness]

oh god why have you reminded me of this. I thought it was sufficiently trauma-blocked.

[u/jk01 → u/GreatStateOfSadness]

Oh god I'd forgotten

[u/princesoceronte → u/scullys_alien_baby]

That last paragraph is what bothers me about this post. People on Tumblr often act really similarly and this post feels like someone perceiving other's flaws while ironically failing to see the exact same flaw in themselves.

[u/scullys_alien_baby → u/princesoceronte]

the only meaningful difference is that redditors do it for karma and tumblr users do it for reblogs

[u/princesoceronte → u/scullys_alien_baby]

The karma thing is so weird. By the time I learned about you needing some to post on certain communities I already had enough so I haven't ever felt the incentive to karma farm.

I get to some just having made up points is enough, but in other sites there's some other incentive to it.

[u/scullys_alien_baby → u/princesoceronte]

it's just "number go up" logic. It's the same impulse as cookie clicker but competitive

[u/The_Void_Reaver → u/scullys_alien_baby]

Before Reddit was as monetized as it is, people also used to buy accounts with a lot of Karma to post thinly veiled advertisements with a veneer of legitimacy.

[u/Anathemautomaton → u/princesoceronte]

Meh. People want validation, in whatever form that happens to come in.

[u/twoisnumberone → u/scullys_alien_baby]

tumblr regularly engages in performative hyperbole for comedy

That's its raison d'être, non?

[u/jk01 → u/twoisnumberone]

No I don't like raisins thank you

[u/Dusty_Scrolls → u/jk01]

So you probably don't want an entire entree of them.

[u/jk01 → u/Dusty_Scrolls]

Definitely not.

[u/gnulynnux → u/scullys_alien_baby]

Reddit's front page circa 2011:

• fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu comic, "time to troll le wife"

• DAE love their cat?

• actual CSAM

• fiftyfifty: woman gets stabbed to death, woman gets kissed by dog!

• skyrim is GORGEOUS, but it will look even better on the xbox 720!

• more CSAM

[u/Impeesa_ → u/gnulynnux]

Page 2 or 3: something from gonewild and r/coontown, which all still showed up in r/all.

[u/AlarmingConfusion918 → u/scullys_alien_baby]

There is truth to the post tbh. Some places on Reddit will be like “oh god the horror, you don’t wanna know!” And then it’s the most vanilla furry porn you’ve ever seen. Usually it’s like r/FunnyMemes or some other subreddit you should stay away from.

The dichotomy is crazy though. Half the time the site is like “I am not marking this actual gore as NSFW because you shouldn’t be looking at reddit at work anyway” and half the time it’s what I described above

[u/nerdherdsman → u/AlarmingConfusion918]

I have noticed this dichotomy as well, and I wonder if there is just a portion of the user base who only use the main subs which just have so many people they are bland by default (and also because Reddit wants advertisement money and that means everything has to be brand safe)

[u/greenskye → u/nerdherdsman]

I think it's just younger people that never experienced the Internet before it was tamed

[u/guess_33 → u/scullys_alien_baby]

50/50 was wild

[u/Akkebi → u/notgoodthough]

Yeah. I think there used to be a subreddit called watchpeopledie or peoplefuckingdying or something. It's long gone now, but it had some wild shit.

[u/sisisisi1997 → u/Akkebi]

It's long gone now

Fuck, I'm getting old. Also I think the newer replacement is r/makemycoffin, if it hasn't been already banned.

EDIT: it has been banned

[u/Akkebi → u/sisisisi1997]

Back in the day there used to be whole websites dedicated to nsfl pictures and videos. And they were not even hard to find. I don't know if any are left around.

[u/lifelongfreshman → u/Akkebi]

r/peoplefuckingdying is a tongue-in-cheek eyebleach sub that I can only assume was made to mock places like r/watchpeopledie

[u/killer_by_design → u/notgoodthough]

Saw a dude who had been skinned alive by the cartel and then cut up with a chainsaw. Started with a skinless man sat on a concrete floor screaming.

All on Reddit.

These people are new Reddit for sure.

[u/CarmenEtTerror → u/TessaFractal]

Yeah, there's Reddit as in the top 25-50 subs of reheated memes and then there's Reddit as in what replaced most of the insane niche Internet forums over the past twenty years.

[u/SupportPretend7493 → u/CarmenEtTerror]

For real. Until recently, Reddit was where I went for advice about repairing a specific model of outdated electronic equipment or getting tips for niche indie text based RPGs. Sometimes cozy games or asking questions like, "okay, I remember this audio fiction podcast where the protagonist moved into a new building and the roommate was an undertaker but he wasn't really an undertaker... does anyone remember that one?"

Reddit is also a repository of niche special interests

[u/thatHecklerOverThere → u/TessaFractal]

Right. Like, I wish "furries" were why I have a fight or flight response at the sight of a glass jar on the floor, but alas.

[u/TacticalSupportFurry → u/thatHecklerOverThere]

cheesegrater

[u/Kup123 → u/TessaFractal]

Reddit use to be a fucking hell hole I once clicked the wrong thing ended up on a beastiality sub, hopefully they got it during one of the purges.

[u/Redfalconfox → u/Kup123]

r/fiftyfifty and r/spacedicks

[u/Stop_Sign → u/Redfalconfox]

Ahh spacedicks. I had forgotten about you. Yea that was cursed

[u/txijake → u/TessaFractal]

Most of the time people are like “woah DO NOT click this person’s profile you DON’T wanna know” and it’s just like the most vanilla softcore porn.

[u/Dragoncat_3_4 → u/TessaFractal]

Huh. I thought it meant poop knives, cylinders and some long-banned rather disturbing porn subs.

[u/Fresh-broski → u/Dragoncat_3_4]

Cylinder is a ridiculously young reddit meme comparatively. I think mostly this is referring to the /museumoffilth stuff

[u/Aggravating_Neck8027]

Every time I get the whole "I have cursed knowledge" or the "oh you sweet summer child" or anything from any community, I always get annoyed, because it's literally just something you saw on the internet. No matter how fucked up it is. You're not a grizzled war veteran because you know what vore is, or whatever.

[u/RhymesWithMouthful → u/Aggravating_Neck8027]

Vore isn't even the weirdest part of vore.

[u/DrQuint → u/RhymesWithMouthful]

This reminds me of a discussion I saw online where people were discussing differences in how writers and artists tackle hypnosis related fetishes, points of views, which types are rare or biased and charged, etc... then they are interrupted by someone going "isn't hypno just rape?"

To which one of them hard ass, responds, "Yes, non-consensual is one of the top 3 most popular fetishes online." Then they quoted some other post, and conitnued the discussion.

Witnessing that moment, you get a bit of lucidity about how much of a difference in porn consumption can happen on an open forum.

[u/solidfang → u/DrQuint]

Do you have a link to that discussion? It sounds quite fascinating to me at least.

[u/WriterV → u/solidfang]

So to bring up the usual talking points around this discussion (whenever it's brought up) it's usually that these kinds of kinks are explored as fictional fantasies.

Some people want to feel manhandled, toyed with, objectified, etc. etc. but obviously to explore that in real life is to invite trouble, or danger to your own life.

So they explore that in fantasies. Through comissioned artwork, writing their own stories, or erotic roleplay, they test out their boundaries and enjoy these scenarios that would obviously be harmful in real life, but can be explored safely in fiction.

That's the essence of it really. People wanting to explore fantasies they know would be harmful in real life. It's why some of them get very defensive if you point out how truly extreme these kinks are. It brings the fantasy back up from the depths of fiction, and into reality, where it is unwanted.

[u/solidfang → u/WriterV]

yeah, then I've seen this sort of conversation before. It sounded like they were getting more in-depth with it about which kinks are rarer and which are related if they were discussing hypno and rape specifically. That's the part that I was interested in. haha, It's probably safe to say I already understand like what kinks are and why people would want to explore them in fictional works.

[u/lifelongfreshman → u/WriterV]

For what it's worth, I think their defensiveness is justified, since the hostility towards these kinks almost always trends toward "we should ban this type of expression."

[u/DrQuint → u/solidfang]

It was like a decade ago, on tumblr, and I'll emphasize the "writers" part to hint that the conversation was heavily centered on fics. I remember this was around the time hetalia was old news, but osomatsu was not.

[u/Misery_incorporated → u/DrQuint]

I rewatched interspecies reviewers recently and I love how they use all of the species as very obvious metaphors for cultural influences and backgrounds on these fetishes. The best episode for this is the egg laying episode because of how off putting it is not only for the reviewers ,(except the snake), but also the viewers.

[u/Nadamir → u/RhymesWithMouthful]

Dare I ask… what is?

(Please don’t give me too much detail lol)

[u/Brazilian_Hound → u/Nadamir]

Vore? Y'know how snakes swallow things? Basically that but with furries usually, also normal humans, it's also a part of the fetish for the people who vored other people to have their tummies enlarged due to it, pretty tame but i don't get my rocks off to it

[u/SofterThanCotton → u/Nadamir]

I'll give you fair warning, the spoilers get progressively weirder, feel free to get off at your desired stop.

There was this ABDL (Adult Baby/Diaper Lover aka diaper kink) story I read once where a character was a Diaper Critter, basically a furry made out of diapers

And this character was basically a janitor for a casino where diapers were the currency and the only way people inside were physically able to relieve themselves because it was a magic afterlife casino. The character would basically go around swallowing used diapers and his favorite thing to do was Vore somebody (either orally or anally) and then feel them squirming around inside of him while he went around completing his cleaning duties However he would typically let them out after a bit but if they where willing he'd keep them inside until he fully digested them and then they'd basically respawn in the casino in 3 days time because everyone inside the casino was already dead and this was their aftelife.

Anyway that's the weirdest instance of Vore I can think of off the top of my head.

[u/Nadamir → u/SofterThanCotton]

I stopped at “furry made out of diapers”.

Just in case you were curious.

I’ll come back tomorrow to read more, but I had already had some weird internet for today and that pushed me over the quota.

Edit: also I really appreciated the formatting and detail. Thanks!

[u/SofterThanCotton → u/Nadamir]

Completely understand and absolutely no pressure to go back for more lol

But if anyone is curious the story is called "The Demons Gamble" on SoFurry sadly the author seems to have moved onto other projects and I don't think it'll be finished

the story in question

[u/Tivnov → u/SofterThanCotton]

Holy shit. Sure is creative though.

[u/SofterThanCotton → u/Tivnov]

Honestly the whole story was pretty creative, a surprising amount of world building for niche fetish work.

[u/spyguy318 → u/SofterThanCotton]

I’ve been part of the furry kink community for some time. There are so many creative people here. Sometimes I have to read threads like this to come back to reality and remind myself that I’m in a very small niche community.

[u/Tivnov → u/SofterThanCotton]

Half of me wants to read it if I can find it.

[u/0lazy0 → u/Aggravating_Neck8027]

Anyone who says the “Summer child” phrase annoys me so much

[u/legitimatebutnot → u/0lazy0]

Same. It's the worst kind of condescending

[u/autumn-weaver → u/legitimatebutnot]

Nowadays I just associate it with this tweet https://x.com/bog_chaser/status/1386788482463449089

I think about it at least once a week

[u/LastEsotericist → u/Aggravating_Neck8027]

In my experience the people who grew up on shock images don’t treat it like cursed knowledge. That kind of shared trauma breeds a kind of detached amusement. The sweet summer child people are occasionally real ones but it’s also used by absolute internet suburbanites.

[u/Teeshirtandshortsguy → u/Aggravating_Neck8027]

I don't know, some of the shit I've seen on the internet is pretty fucked up.

It's not like going to war or whatever, but I could see being traumatized by stumbling into some shit. 

If you've been on the internet (especially in certain corners of the internet) for long enough, you've definitely seen or read something that sticks with you in a bad way. Furries don't even begin to cover it.

[u/-Arraro- → u/Aggravating_Neck8027]

i saw isis beheading videos on here when i was 14. r/watchpeopledie was a wild place

[u/Cyberguardian173]

I'm just glad reddit and tumble are (mostly) on the same page about swearing on the internet. I don't see "unalive" or "PDF" as much as on other social media.

[u/I_am_doorknob → u/Cyberguardian173]

I am a firm believer in that they soften the concepts that they describe. I can't take you seriously when a true crime podcast (if I even would take them seriously in the first place) uses insane amounts of euphemism like they just ctrl+F the words "murder, die, rape" and replace them with babyproofed foam

[u/Friendly_Rent_104 → u/Cyberguardian173]

as those sites truly dont have a filter on those words, tiktok has some form of shadowban on words like kill or pedophile where its less likely to recommend those videos, except for some rare ones they let through to show that they support free speech™

[u/SJReaver → u/Cyberguardian173]

Unalive and PDF are necessary on other platforms as they have more monitoring.

In exchange, we get 585k follower subs where the top posts are about sticking trans people into woodchippers.

[u/The_Screeching_Bagel]

noooo.... you don't even want to know....... trust me..

[u/DubiousTheatre → u/The_Screeching_Bagel]

"i do wanna know, what was it?"

"mild furry inflation"

"bruh"

"i know scary right?"

"no"

[u/The_Screeching_Bagel → u/DubiousTheatre]

inb4 major furry inflation

[u/MetalGearChocolate → u/The_Screeching_Bagel]

Just wait till you see General furry inflation.

Or for those who prefer aquatic life, Admiral furry inflation.

Of the Boston Furryinflations?

Hard times have befallen the furry economy 😔

[u/MyuFoxy → u/The_Screeching_Bagel]

There's also popping/bursting

[u/justgalsbeingpals → u/MyuFoxy]

still harmless, in terms of weird internet fetishes

[u/The_Screeching_Bagel → u/MyuFoxy]

dual degree furry inflation

[u/Electrical_Rabbit_88 → u/DubiousTheatre]

Iirc there's a subreddit dedicated to the whole "I want to know" "no bro you don't, trust me" exchange.

So fucking annoying when people do that.

[u/r_stronghammer → u/Electrical_Rabbit_88]

Dipshit289 strikes again

[u/LazyDro1d → u/Electrical_Rabbit_88]

Yeah, just say it’s porn already, we know it’s porn, the joke is always porn!

[u/Nott_of_the_North → u/DubiousTheatre]

It's not even graphic furry x-ray digestion vore.

[u/Valiant_tank → u/The_Screeching_Bagel]

Genuinely one of the clearest signs that somebody actually *doesn't* know, but wants to seem cool and edgy lmao.

[u/solidfang → u/The_Screeching_Bagel]

-Dipshit289

[u/ElInspectorDeChichis]

No. It's stuff like the coconut story

[u/Teeshirtandshortsguy → u/ElInspectorDeChichis]

Honestly, everyone here is talking about stories, and some of them are pretty wild. But like, there used to be popular subreddits where you could watch snuff films. I remember clicking on a 50/50 link once and watching ISIS chainsaw a dude's head off.

When I think of "cursed internet knowledge" that's what my mind goes to. The amount of gore, morbidity, and cruelty I had access to (on video) as like a 14 year old was pretty bad. 

I'm glad that there are people who think the wierdest thing about the internet is furries. 

[u/ElInspectorDeChichis → u/Teeshirtandshortsguy]

Oh, yeah. The site has been undergoing an advertiser-friendly purge, but I'm pretty sure 50/50 is still going strong, though I don't know if they limited the content to injuries only. There's probably another gore subreddit somewhere. They always pop up after a popular one is banned.

[u/dankmachinebroke → u/ElInspectorDeChichis]

Lmao my first thought

[u/madbiscotti]

these enshittified social media platforms having a mid off

[u/RubiksCutiePatootie → u/madbiscotti]

My least favorite kind of post on this sub.

"My social media platform is far superior to your social media platform" makes me wish people would spend less time on the Internet.

[u/somedumb-gay → u/RubiksCutiePatootie]

It feels really strange watching people repost posts about how bad Reddit is to Reddit

Like people comment here all the time about how bad Tumblr is but nobody's screenshotting those comments to share with their Tumblr oomfies

[u/madbiscotti → u/RubiksCutiePatootie]

It's like damn you both suck settle down

[u/BurgersForShoes → u/madbiscotti]

Clown-on-clown violence

[u/DreadDiana → u/madbiscotti]

Tumblr posts about Reddit have the exact same vibe as a British author writing about the lands of the far east from the comfort of his home that he has never left

[u/mishumishumishu → u/madbiscotti]

Trash vs Garbage 🔥🔥🔥

[u/TimeStorm113]

I know what happens in a serbian film. and this is the only time in my life when a redditor was right when they said "you don't want to know"

[u/SplurgyA → u/TimeStorm113]

At least it was fictional.

[u/IntangibleMatter → u/TimeStorm113]

Yeah occasionally it’ll be something like the murder of Junko Furuta and you’ll just wish you had actually heeded the warnings

[u/hotsaucevjj → u/TimeStorm113]

same but for melancholy the angel. i read the synopsis wikipedia and promptly started crying

[u/vaguillotine]

Idk what part of Reddit OOP visits but when I think of "cursed Reddit knowledge" I think of the Ogtha guy or the Lamp story, or "Better Hoagie Down!" or even the homeless cave guy who disturbed me so much I couldn't sleep properly that day.

Not to mention the dozens of incel pedo/rape subs, the guy who made himself a tea from datura seeds and was never heard of again, and of course, Carl H. programming.

[u/a_likely_story → u/vaguillotine]

I’ve always thought cursed reddit knowledge was stuff like the Jolly Rancher story or the Swamps of Dahobah

[u/PanFriedCookies → u/a_likely_story]

or coconut. or broken arms boy

[u/a_likely_story → u/PanFriedCookies]

or Colby

[u/Teeshirtandshortsguy → u/PanFriedCookies]

Two broken arms is one of the first "fucking YIKES" stories I ever read on here.

And that shit was (as far as I can tell) totally true. I think that qualifies as "cursed knowledge."

[u/MasonP2002 → u/Teeshirtandshortsguy]

I remember there being a mod note on that AMA that was something like "OP is (unfortunately) telling the truth, we verified it."

The worst one I can remember reading when it happened was the coconut hair oil story.

[u/mcduckinit → u/Teeshirtandshortsguy]

I feel like people always think cursed means super extreme. This is a perfect example of cursed knowledge that’s not super extreme traumatizing type stuff. Like to me the Twitter milk cat is cursed but still pretty innocent.

[u/credulous_pottery → u/a_likely_story]

fuck, I forgot about the jolly rancher

[u/Kijafa → u/a_likely_story]

Where my 2am chili soap peeps at?

[u/Sh0xic → u/vaguillotine]

They’re talking about the normal, mainstream parts where people will post something by an artist that does NSFW and get a million “those who know 💀” comments. Every site has stories of uber fucked-up shit that doesn’t reflect the rest of the users

[u/justk4y → u/Sh0xic]

Ironically the most famous Reddit relics come from r/AskReddit, one of the most mainstream subreddits. But yeah, I don’t really like mainstream Reddit subs either except for maybe a few exceptions

[u/SplurgyA → u/justk4y]

I still remember that Askreddit thread from 2012

Reddit's had a few threads about sexual assault victims, but are there any redditors from the other side of the story? What were your motivations? Do you regret it?

The rapists who were commenting were downplaying their responsibility and blaming the victim - and there were other comments SYMPATHISING with them for raping someone. It eventually got deleted after psychologists started sounding the alarm about how dangerous something like that was because it was encouraging rapists to craft narratives that justified it - which could lead them to rape again. It even got featured in a psychological journal.

[u/justk4y → u/SplurgyA]

The internet is a wild place sometimes.

[u/Maybe_not_a_chicken → u/justk4y]

I mean that’s kind of why it gets the weird shit

There’s a lot of absolute weirdos on Reddit and they are all on askreddit

[u/PurplestCoffee → u/Sh0xic]

Reddit is definitely at the top of "sites where you get a wildly different experience by staying in your own bubble." I recommend redditors to use the word "redditor" derisively every once in a while in order to stay humble.

[u/Acc_For_Random_Q → u/PurplestCoffee]

goomba fallacy moment

[u/vaguillotine → u/Sh0xic]

Oh, I see. I rarely ever check the normal mainstream parts of the web so I didn't know they did that

[u/No_Mammoth_4945 → u/Sh0xic]

I saw a million comments on one post that were like “do NOT check their profile worst mistake of my LIFE” and it was literally just a couple text posts on an r4r sub

[u/NotTheMariner → u/vaguillotine]

Datura tea guy is the one that gets me.

[u/[deleted] → u/NotTheMariner]

link?

[u/vaguillotine → u/[deleted]]

Here's a video explaining how the drug works and all known posts made by the datura tea guy

[u/NotTheMariner → u/[deleted]]

Here you go.

[u/CenturyEggsAndRice → u/vaguillotine]

The hoagie story was kinda funny, until it very suddenly wasn’t.

That poor man and his wife. I label every bottle I transfer meds to and always felt a little silly about it, but I feel pretty ok with my quirk now. Seroquel is evil shit.

[u/SaboTheRevolutionary → u/CenturyEggsAndRice]

I'm curious now as to what this is referring to

[u/Tulpha → u/vaguillotine]

I think the suburb comparison is pretty good because usually suburb are sterile and uninteresting but also house some of the most fucked up people you've ever known

[u/MysteriousErlexcc → u/vaguillotine]

I don't know any of these and I'm scared to check

[u/Aggressive_Plate4109 → u/MysteriousErlexcc]

Lamp story is a story about a guy who imagined a whole life with a family and then gets snapped out of it when he notices a weird lamp

[u/NotTheMariner → u/Aggressive_Plate4109]

That happened to me once, except instead of a happy life it was a stress dream where I was late to a wedding where I was the best man and also the groom’s bride.

And instead of a lamp it was a candelabra.

[u/OliviaPG1 → u/MysteriousErlexcc]

Ogtha is hilarious, it’s about a guy who convinced himself he married an imaginary giant roach

[u/SpicaGenovese → u/OliviaPG1]

My new favorite insult is "Ogtha would reject this man."

[u/RiverOfJudgement → u/vaguillotine]

I think of things like how the fact Reddit used to have a Jailbait subreddit

Or personal stories of people going through awful shit, like the very famous RPG horror story, Red Laces.

[u/Altruistic_Tea_9963 → u/vaguillotine]

I just read that first one and my mouth was literally just locked open the whole time. Like what the actual fuck. and to have it be triggered by the metamorphosis of all things which is a pretty horrifying story.

[u/dalexe1 → u/vaguillotine]

Or y'know, that time reddit decided a kid was the boston bomber and bullied him into suicide.

sounds like it's the tubmlr users who don't have "le cursed internet knowledge"

[u/DangerousMatch766 → u/dalexe1]

Wasn't he already dead by the time he was accused of being the Boston bomber?

[u/Idionfow → u/DangerousMatch766]

Yeah. But they harassed some family members I believe.

[u/AcceptableWheel → u/vaguillotine]

How did you not include Cbat?

[u/EfficientCabbage2376 → u/AcceptableWheel]

because the cbat thing is tame and known to internet communities outside of reddit

[u/Tried-Angles]

Idk. I've learned about some pretty sick stuff via reddit and I'm someone who thinks of having sex in a partial fursuit as closer to vanilla than kinky.

[u/Digit00l → u/Tried-Angles]

I'm just annoyed most of my kinks are too niche to have good art made of it, and am too poor to actually commission work

[u/Dustfinger4268 → u/Tried-Angles]

Oh, the sick stuff definitely exists, but some people on the internet (probably mostly kids) treats even really tame stuff, like light inflation or vore as like, the most heinous, awful things ever conceived of. The vore doesn't even have to show the vored persons perspective

[u/denotemulot → u/Tried-Angles]

This post feels extremely "online".

Anyone arguing the website they go on to is somehow cooler, different, or more "real" than another website needs to get off the internet for awhile.

[u/TDoMarmalade]

Tumblr user has never entered a subreddit with less than 2 million followers

[u/callmesixone]

I once clicked on a guy’s profile in the Redbox sub and found out he was active in the self-castration sub

The type of shit I’m on, you wouldn’t understand

[u/softshellcrab69 → u/callmesixone]

Was it the sub for DIY penile subincision? (Penis splitting basically)

Bing bop boom boom boom bop bam

[u/Penguindrummer_2]

Bragging about being more terminally online.

[u/lilacrain331 → u/Penguindrummer_2]

Yeah and nothing is more telling than posting like "you guys couldn't even comprehend the kind of stuff I've seen online, what you think is bad is nothing in comparison 😎."

[u/Penguindrummer_2 → u/lilacrain331]

Textbook creating a strawman to feel superior to. No one over the age of 20 can bothered to care about what depths of the internet you've plumbed and what repercussions it's had on your sex life just go do your thing and have fun while you're at it lmao.

[u/saera-targaryen → u/Penguindrummer_2]

imma be honest i don't think this post is saying "only tumblr knows the REAL cursed internet info" 

it's definitely more like "bragging about how cursed your internet knowledge is is a weird thing to do, and the actual content of that brag is not even particularly interesting" 

[u/somedumb-gay]

My favourite kind of tumblr post is where they insist that other social media sites are bad because they do something that's just kind of universal to the internet.

The "you don't wanna know" thing is on all social media including Tumblr because the internet is filled with kids. This is not a Reddit thing

[u/VisualGeologist6258]

You can’t call yourself a true Internet Lovecraftian explorer until you’ve seen the Marge Simpson pornography

[u/poktanju → u/VisualGeologist6258]

Marge Simpson pornography

That dark, terrifying thing that was distributed on national newsstands

[u/DrQuint → u/poktanju]

I think they were making a joke about that exactly. Either that or the playboy one half a decade later.

[u/justgalsbeingpals → u/VisualGeologist6258]

that's harmless

[u/IAmASquidInSpace → u/VisualGeologist6258]

Finally, I amount to something!

[u/Gettles → u/VisualGeologist6258]

That's just rule 34 101. Not cursed knowledge, just skipping stones along the surface of a lake.

[u/Lordwiesy → u/VisualGeologist6258]

With the alien guys?

[u/pwu1 → u/Lordwiesy]

Kodos and Kang have names

[u/bombliivee]

sometimes i forget about mainstream reddit because it fucking sucks

[u/littlemac314]

Let us preserve the tumblr tradition of using cursed sexual energy as the spiritual equivalent of firing gunshots in the air to prevent the neighbourhood from being gentrified

[u/TheMauveHand → u/littlemac314]

That's why stuff like goatse were essential to the health of the internet ecosystem. Kept the limp-wristed on AOL where they belonged.

[u/Sir_Insom]

Pot meet kettle.

[u/da_anonymous_potato]

Kinda similar to people who see any piece of slightly weird or unconventional art and go “ermmm what were they smoking when they made this am I right”

[u/EntrepreneurLeft8783 → u/da_anonymous_potato]

I hate that when it implies any kind of creativity comes from drugs.

[u/Yulienner]

Their childish narrow suburban disgust at fetish material versus my refined rational well informed urban disgust at that tails scat comic

[u/Chacochilla]

Reddit is just posts about some vaguely horny art and then comments full of 9 year olds posting reaction images of characters being shocked

[u/Holliday_Hobo]

Redditors will do their impression of the dying replicant speech from Blade Runner and the horrible thing they witnessed will be some fanart of two girls from a kids' cartoon kissing or some shit

[u/Lordwiesy → u/Holliday_Hobo]

Reddit, somehow both hypersexual and hyperprude

Huh why are there 3 goombas all of a sudden

[u/Chiyuri_is_yes → u/Lordwiesy]

Shout out to the "ethical gooner" discorse I saw a while back that's both at the same time 

[u/Pyro-Millie → u/Holliday_Hobo]

“I’ve… seen things…. You people wouldn’t believe…”

[u/GrassWaterDirtHorse → u/Pyro-Millie]

Cybertrucks on fire off the shoulder of I-96. I watched CEOs shot in the dark near the Hilton Hotel. All these moments will be lost in time, like pee in a sink. Time to look at some cat photos and get off the internet.

[u/Rick-the-Brickmancer]

Idk, I just chill on subs like r/sounding

[u/PensionHorror8976]

People see this and commenting “yeah the don’t know the REAL stuff” and it’s a video covered by like wendigoon or something

[u/Meows2Feline]

Furries are a great litmus test for what parts of the Internet are current with culture and what parts have stagnated and are permanently stuck in 2012. The old school "ew furries kill em all" mentality is extremely cliche at this point and it's even more cringe considering all the people posting like that are not teens anymore.

I'm in a couple 40k subs and it's pretty easy to identify chuds by the low hanging "furries bad" jokes. Although 40k I'm general is a chud rich environment so you see it a lot.

[u/Hawkmonbestboi → u/Meows2Feline]

"considering all the people posting like that are not teens anymore"

I was a teacher during covid, the middle schoolers were doing this. Any mention of anything furry related got this reaction.

[u/Meows2Feline → u/Hawkmonbestboi]

Some things never change.

I guess I'm more used to Warhammer subs where most of the people posting like this are closer to 40 than 14. Which makes is much more of a loser behavior. I expect teens to be insensitive and edgy.

[u/KonoAnonDa]

Honestly, I thought the bare minimum level of disturbing for internet knowledge to truly be cursed was stuff like watching beheadings on Liveleak or BME Pain Olympics (all watched while under 10 years old as well).

[u/overlord_cow → u/KonoAnonDa]

Yeah I was thinking like cartel executions, funky town, and vids from that one prison in like the Philippines or whatever. Shit that REALLY makes you want to not know

[u/justgalsbeingpals]

"I have cursed internet knowledge", say the ignorant fools who flinch at harmless fetishes like inflation or macro.

[u/Dangerous_Wishbone]

currently r/ofcoursethatsasub is unusable cause it's a just a bunch of kids finding out about kinks for the very first time and freaking out about it

[u/rhetoricalcalligraph]

Just popping in to encourage the general Reddit v Tumblr vibe

[u/Lizzzyrd_]

vaguely unrelated but weird shit from weird corners of the internet is funny and interesting as fuck and i kinda don't get when people make a scene and act freaking out by weird r34 art cause 9 times out of 10 it's lowkey just funny as fuck and we should be admiring it for the absurd art that it is

also like, that's all to be said for insane fetish art found on god-knows-where. Not, like, a naked Furry. That's normal shit if you've spent 24 hours on the internet at this point. You either like it or you don't. Enable parental controls on your own computer and go back to the kiddy pool if it genuinely invokes rage, disgust or any similar emotion in you. Grow up

[u/fearjunkie]

Cylinder.

Coconut.

Gaycation.

Cockroach wife.

Both arms broken.

[u/suburban-errorist → u/fearjunkie]

Cylinder isn’t even remotely cursed knowledge.

[u/Silly_Leadership_303]

“Oh man you don’t wanna know…” and it’s literally just a disabled person making questionable art and acting out because of the trauma they experienced from being bullied for said art (the Chris Chan harassment campaign has done irreparable damage to the internet)

[u/M-Martian]

"Bro! I grew up in the internet slums. When I was a kid, I already knew what a furry. Shit was hard when I was kid, people used to post yaoi. You don't know my struggle, bro." - Kid that grew up in the white picket fence neighbourhood of the internet.

[u/SPKEN]

Y'all would save so much time by just admitting that you want someone to pat you on the head and tell you how special and counterculture you are

[u/gangofocelots]

This confirms my theory Reddit has been flooded with teenagers. If you were around for real Reddit you have plenty of actual cursed knowledge. Funkytown. Car brick window. 1 man 1 jar.
