I saw someone the other day claiming that the WWW was always as sanitized as it is now and I was like like "lol... no."
I remember when you could very easily just stumble upon CP, or bestiality, or any number of disgusting, fucked up shit doing a Yahoo search for something totally inocculous.
I think it was Behind the Bastards that hit the nail on the head about this in an episode in the last couple of weeks: Rick Rolling is goatse for normies. Even the links you trick people into clicking have become relatively sanitized as the web democratized.
And honestly, goatse was far from the most extreme thing that was completely commonplace on the old web. Turn of the century Internet culture was wild.
Sometimes I wonder if all the random murder/gore/beastial shit we stumbled into will be the millennial version of boomers leaded gas fumes, causing some underlying mental issues. Bet a psychology student could get a couple papers out of that.
I doubt someone without serious mental problems would be permanently scarred by that.
Accidentally got my mom with meatspin since she was stalking my AIM lol. Serves her right ๐คฃ
www.whitehouse.com anyone?
Two people down voted this. I assume they are unaware of the history of that domain.
Hint - you did NOT want to use the wrong TLD at work or school.
Or maybe you did. ๐
Torrent sites are safe and sane compared to Kazaa or Gnutella in the early 2000s.
F.O.S.I. Apps (in the 90s) was super reliable

Don't google on goetse, and don't google on lemonparty.
I can never see wedding bands and old folks homes the same way ever again.
Don't google "blue waffles" or "crusty pizza."
Do Google your username because that skit is hilarious.
I remember "Disney Princesses" did not yield the expected results.
Go to DDG
Go to search
Type in Disney Princess Rule34
Turn off safe search

Consumption Junction was a window into a very dark world.

I accidentally saw an old woman being fucked by a German Shepherd when I was 12. Life was wild back then
