    I watched faces of death when I was younger and I saw a hostage situation somewhere in south east Asia. Hostages were getting pulled out of the building on the tail end of the operation.

    Mixed in must have a hostile because the security forces shot a guy with shotguns at short range.

    It’s like his whole chest and back opened up like a book.

    I don’t seek out gore like I used to. No ukraine war footage, no cartel videos. None of that. I know worse is out there just by hearing about it 2nd hand. (Like the infamous funky town video)

    as far as most disturbing thing to watch, probably the self-immolation of aaron bushnell back in february. i generally avoid the more messed up infamous internet stuff.

    eta: more disturbing, but not quite as punchy due to not being a video, was a post i saw once about a young lady who picked at her legs so much, that they had to be removed. there was a lot of pictures. she eventually dug a hole straight through them.

    There is a lot of horrifying content out there. Videos of people brutally murdering others are probably among the top imo.

    Something that I had a hard time physically looking at was I once stumbled across a man who appeared to be having some sort of psychotic episode. He filmed himself trying to pull a microchip out of his eye. He kept picking at it and gouging it with his bare hands. I don’t understand how he was able to do that without screaming in pain. Hope the poor man got better after but who knows what happened.

    Edit: And before anyone attempts to ask…no I don’t have a link. LiveLeak was where I had seen a lot of things and it doesn’t exist anymore. I’m sure there are a myriad of other sites out there if you’re morbidly curious. Just don’t go asking me for references. Like others said…for many people it can end up messing them up. Don’t show anything to anyone else. If you are curious and you think you can handle it, then that’s on you. But don’t make anyone else see it even if they say they are ok with it.

    For sheer human evilness I’ve seen a beheading video, for pure gore I’ve seen some lathe accidents. I’m never going near a lathe.

      The manual lathe is the most dangerous piece of equipment in a shop in terms of fatalities. They cannot be made ‘safe’. You can only train people how to use them safely and not put idiots on them.

      I’ve seen the chuck key of shame used and support its use. My rule was one chuck key fuckup, second offense, immediate termination.

      I used to have a safety presentation on lathes. It was called, “The Happy Fun Lathe Safety Presentation.” Kittens and puppies on the title and chock full of gore.

        It’s probably more effective to show the actual videos, yeah. Like, lathes will fuck you up in the most horrifically comical ways. Sort of like in cartoons when the most violent things happen and they get up (like being steamrolled), but you obviously don’t get up.

          My presentation had the Russian video where the kid gets wrapped up around a bar. Also had the pictures from where the guy got wrapped around a chuck and there is an eyeball sitting on top of the pile.

      I hit my finger on a spinning piece on a lathe; it sliced my finger right down to the bone, and cut through the tendon. Thankfully it cut the tendon along the length rather than across; I needed 3-4 stitches to close it up, but no surgery.

      Lathes are no joke. There’s one that really stuck with me, I think at a Russian factory. “Dismemberment” does not accurately reflect what happened.

      Lathes are serious machines. They require serious caution!

      At my previous job, there was a very lucky apprentice; he was working on “the small lathe”; the sleeve on his overalls caught on the work piece. His arm was pulled into the machine the overall sleeve tore as it was being pulled in. He got very nasty friction burns all up the under side of his arm; if the sleeve didn’t tear, at minimum he would have lost the arm…the lathe didn’t stop spinning during the event. He panicked (understandably) and didn’t think to hit the e-stop.

      Table saws and lathes…don’t fuck around with them. Powerful tools require serious caution; but they are also very useful when used correctly.

        No idea, what’s embarrassing is that it’s basically a tiny echo chamber he only had like a hundred people lives and a good portion of them were like “WWW” and other disgusting shit. Someordinarygamers made a video ab him and tried to hide his username and stuff so he wouldn’t get the ‘cloud’ he was chasing so hard.

    There was a Mexican cartel video of a guy they had killed and peeled his face off so it was just bare skull.

    As the video continues, the guy rolls over and you see his bare eyeballs moving around… Still alive.

    That fucked me up pretty bad, then he reaches up to touch his face & they’d cut off his hands…

    I’m never going to Mexico.

        That was my thought process as I was watching it. The mutilated “corpse” was a pretty fucked up thing to do, then the reveal that he was alive made it so much worse than it already was.

      As somebody who goes to Juarez several times per week and has also traveled extensively throughout Mexico, cartel violence typically does not reach the average tourist, just like how people who go to New York are unlikely to actually see the mob. I have experienced more hassle from police than gangs, and even that is usually a cursory questioning and pocket check for drugs.

      15 years ago, there were some cities that were in the middle of organized crime wars, and sometimes things spilled over into public where civilians could get hurt. This created a lot of heat for the cartels, and more recently they have mostly been operating under the radar or in remote neighborhoods again.

      The bigger risk than violence is kidnapping, but even that doesn’t tend to get aimed at the tourist population due to the international backlash it would cause.

      If you keep your wits about you, travel in Ubers that you order rather than unmarked cabs, and don’t except drinks from strangers, then Mexico can be a wonderful adventure. The Mexican people have been mostly extremely good to me, and I refuse to cut them off as dangerous just because the news tries to tell me so.

    Fair warning, I’m not here to judge but take it from someone who spent a lot of time trying to consume the most outrageous internet content to desensitise themselves - it all catches up eventually.

    Anyway, this is some of the stuff that comes to mind:

    Botfly extractions

    Teenage girl suicide (hanging in a tree - too young to die IMO)

    Microwaving kittens

    Toybox killer transcript and tapes (I don’t like torturing people who don’t deserve it)

    People having sex with aborted foetuses

    As a young(er), morbidly curious and then still fairly naive dumbass, I went and clicked on some questionable link on a Reddit thread, and was introduced to something known as “Funky Town”.

    That shit set me straight pretty well, been avoiding everything even remotely suspiciously feeling it might be or explicitly is gore-related, but the imagery alone still haunts me to this day, not to mention all the other stuff like imagining how any of the people involved must feel, both emotionally and physically.

    I debated mentioning this by name for a fair bit, but I think this thread is specifically for this kind of thing, so I’ll leave it. Anyone clicking here is expecting horrifying things, so it won’t catch anyone off guard. But I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOBODY GOES LOOKING FOR THIS SPECIFIC THING. You will not get it out from behind your eyes. Seriously.
