One of my younger friends was asking what it was like growing up in the shock days of the internet. I tried telling him about tubgirl, 2girls1cup, lemonparty, etc. He didn’t believe me that people would willingly scar each other with such horrifying content and argued that it couldn’t have been as bad as I was describing. A quick Google search later, I realized how hard it is to accidentally come across that kind of content, even while trying I was struggling to find the original content. In that moment, I was very proud of modern internet-users.
Ugh, that and the body mod ezine that my old college suite-mate made me watch. Fuck, I’m so glad I don’t hang out with that guy anymore, but boy do I regret knowing why I regret meeting him.
Edit: just realized I’m talking about the same thing. Carry on.
I am fortunate in that I was homeschooled and thus socially isolated, so I had few “friends” to subject me to most of that stuff. I saw some of the bigger ones, like tubgirl, but didn’t discover a lot of others until I was a bit older and worked at a web host.
For the ones I did see, I probably saw a reference somewhere and my curiosity caused me to look them up on AltaVista or Yahoo! My phone’s keyboard did not like one of those words.
If you inverted science and used a funnel, you could take advantage of the dysentery to have science shit in its own mouth.
I remember tubgirl from my youth.
I would thank you not to do that to me again.

Indeed, the internet is both better and worse than it was.
You should tell your younger friend about the Pain Olympics. Or … Perhaps not.
