.on.nimp.org or whatever as well. Nothing like those days when your browser window could move itself around, duplicate windows, set your volume to 100%, the early internet was a WILD time.

For me, the awakening to the vileness of the internet, was the "Offended" page on Encyclopedia Drammatica. People who wanted to ruins other's time on forums in a raid would basically post it as if it were a rickroll of sorts, just a completepy harmless comment with a link. And then the page would have 3 innocuous image right before showing you horrifying gore and body horror. I'm quite sure some of the most awful stuff usually on these lists, like screenshots of the guy who mutilates his own scrotum, were in there.

[-] aspitzer@lemm.ee 35 points 1 year ago

I am old enough now to know not to ever go to those sites.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Anestoh@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago

Actually shocked this doesn't have 1 guy 1 jar.

[-] Hermonella@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

shudders. I was almost done forgetting that one.

[-] instamat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Me too. I was so naive when I first saw it, I thought there’s no way this is real and actually happening. It was. And it did.

I miss the Wild West days. It built character.

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

[-] Veltoss@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

[-] Duchess@yiffit.net 23 points 1 year ago

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

[-] RealityCavesIn@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Agreed. I was aware of almost every one of those but never saw a single one.

[-] Lennny@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

2 girls wasnt bad tbh. Disgusting, sure…but it wasnt someone taking an axe to their dick either

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.

[-] explodicle@local106.com 3 points 1 year ago

I mean, one can still choose to do that, it's just weird now.

[-] 7egend@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

Add Mr. Hands and 1 Guy 1 Jar to the list.

[-] ChocoboRocket@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm gonna go ahead and guess this isn't the octopus girl from the meme?

[-] limecool@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

Lemmy should have the option to spoiler/NSFW pics in comments.

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.

[-] Oograh@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Eye bleach would definitely be needed.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Ech@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] AVeryCleverName@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago

Rotten.com fucked me up back in the day

[-] sp00nix@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

And my computer

[-] Lennny@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

This doesn’t even have rotten on it. Want to see some dudes head get chopped off? Rotten has you covered, baby sliced into sushimi? It had that.

[-] float@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm pretty sure most (if not all) of them were fake.

[-] Bautznersenf@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Damn, I don't know what any of these are except for the last one and luckily I've never seen it. I've been on the internet for a long time.

[-] nostalgicgamerz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

3 guys one hammer

That link was NOT a Pokémon .NDS ROM in that IRC….

[-] limecool@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

If the internet has taught me something. Take everything as a literal and never check the unknown especially when people tell you not to. You may just find something much worse than the last worse stuff.

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.

[-] jasonwaterfalls@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

loldolphin is the worst thing I have ever seen and I can't find it anymore to ruin other people.

OP is into it confirmed

[-] ComradeR@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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!

Also: beans.

[-] zoriel@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It'd been so many years and I can still perfectly visualize these images in my head. I would like to delete these files from my brain.

Also eel soup.

[-] gti_up@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, this brings back memories from high school.

And who can forget Mr. Hands?

[-] Lexapro@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Those things really did a number on my young brain but damn I miss the days where the Internet felt so wild

[-] Duckef@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Japaneae Eel girl should be on there

[-] medolica@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

2 guys 1 horse
