    I’m so grateful that even though I started using the internet fully unsupervised at 11 years old, I never stumbled upon anything fucked up like that, maybe a few gorey photos, but I have never actually seen any of those things you mentioned.

      Not sure if I just lack the morbid curiosity most people have, but I never understood the draw to look for those things. I’d hear about them and just put it on a mental list to never touch.

    I miss the old internet. I loved how it hadn’t seeped in to every part of my life yet. I liked that you had to use a PC as sort of a dimensional gate to enter the world of the weird. It meant most users were also a bit weird.

    I don’t know if anyone knows what I’m talking about but apparently “tubgirl” is different from the “tubgirl” I know. Acourding to Urban Dictionary, the more well known tubgirl is pretty tame compared to the one I saw.

    I wont go into any detail about the one I knew about but it contained a woman in a bathtub and a bucket full of cow guts and blood.

    I miss the Wild West days. It built character.

    Children today never have to see this kind of shit anymore.

      Good for them. Seeing that shit so early in life desensitized too many people in my generation in the worst ways and that’s the last thing humanity needs right now.

        (Bias: middle aged)

        It seems to me like the younger generation are less callous than my own generation, and certainly less so than the boomers.

        The worst way to be desensitized is against violence, not butt stuff.

          I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding this or maybe you don’t know what the references are, but the OP is not just referring to “butt stuff”.

            I’m certainly not going to go item by item there, but several are entirely consensual and just icky. Older generations are much quicker to kill actual people.

      Dude, are you kidding? Did you forgot about Ronnie mcnutt (RIP)? Kekma. ga? And really being decensitized at such a young age isn’t some thing to be proud of lmfao. I think the kids are doing right if they don’t see that stuff lol.

    bless all the people who’ve seen those things and provide accurate descriptions so the rest of us don’t have to bear that burden

    I would rather watch 1hour of 2G1C, than watch 5 mins of 3 guys 1 hammer. Poor man…

    If anyone is curious: Is two young men beating an old man w/a hammer till his death! Don’t watch it, unless you want to spend some days w/the video in your mind!

    I only knew about the existence of some, not all, of the things listed on the geiser. Here starts that mental tug o war in which I want to satiate my curiosity but I’m also afraid of needing eyebleach.

    I only knew one “Item” from the list. Googled "Octopus Girl"l, read the description and was done with that list.

    Told my wife “you dont believe what i just read” - she refused to listen.

      I only saw the 2 girls 1 cup because a friend showed it to me. I thankfully missed out on all the others but I am aware of them.
