    anything qanon related will make your brain implode faster than a carbon fiber pressure hull at 12k feet.

    Tor. A serious study of as many .onion sites as I could find. There are many reasons why people want to be anonymous. I don’t know why, I just felt compelled to look at the edges of humanity.

      Back in the early 2000s, I heard tell of Freenet, thought it sounded like a cool project, and started poking around there. I soon determined that a lot of the material being exchanged there was not anything I wanted anywhere near my disk, even encrypted. Deleted it pretty darn quick.

        Drug dealers, arms dealers, hit men, conspiracy theorists with apparent mental health issues, child porn. I was at least somewhat amused until the last, then it was like, “Yeah no, I’m done with this” All you need is a copy of TAILS.

          yeah, ouch. my condolences to your humanity. :-(

          If there is a credible global survey of .onion sites available (with content statistics), I would definitely be interested in it.

    One time I had a weird skin thing and was trying to look up whether I should be worried about it, and stumbled onto a bunch of shit about Morgellons Disease, in which people think they have fibers or parasites growing out of their skin.

    I just had a weird ingrown hair.

      I actually think the idea of forming a character in your head that talks to you “autonomously” (not under conscious control) is kind of interesting, but people take it very seriously and think that tulpas are spiritual beings or deserve human rights. It’s an fascinating community.

    In trying to prove to a friend that fluoride in the water wasn’t bad, I had to dig into the conspiracy to refute each point.

    Eugenia Cooney, YouTuber and streamer who seems to be dying of anorexia. There’s more disturbing shit such as her weird relationship with her mom and the way she seems to pander to anorexia fetishists.

    Cicada 3301. It was a mysterious ARG made by an anonymous group over a decade ago that, to this day, has never been solved. I was intrigued at how little we know about the group behind it and wondered if we’d ever receive a message back from them again.

    I can’t recall the creepiest, so here’s a kinda eerie website I found called Terminal 00:

    www(dot)angusnicneven(dot)com

    It’s not necessarily super disturbing, but it has a design that is a bit eerie and trippy, to me at least.

      I had head phones and as soon as I read “I will make you listen” and noticed there was a lot to scroll down to, I closed the page. Eff that lol

    Not a rabbit hole per-se, but I’ve found at least three accounts of different people suffering some kind of dementia. One of them in particular was actively deteriorating and was paranoid that she was suffering Lyme disease. She wasn’t; she was losing her mind and it was obvious from her post history. So sad.
