And none of them caused me as much distress as the beheading of that journalist. Even as a regular visitor of Rotten.com.
Lots of people talking about beheadings, but the video that I can never unwatch was of a woman in a blank walled room facing the camera and getting unceremoniously shot in the head with a revolver. I've no idea if it was real or not, but the lack of, for want of a better word, "spectacle" makes me think it was.
I don't want to look it up again to find out but if anyone knows for sure...
Analogue youth, digital teens, here.
Simpler times... when we'd watch Jimmy Savile on TV, and were told he was a beloved children's entertainer. O_O
Welcome to the internet!
Have a look around...
The laugh Bo gave in that track made my skin crawl, I'll never forget it
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found..
We've got mountains of content, some better, some worse
If none of it's of interest to you, you'd be the first
Bom bom bom bom!
If I could go back, I’d pass on the beheading. Damn morbid curiosity.
I wouldn't. I didn't enjoy them, but they seemed important. A brief glimpse into extreme reality.
I was an adult when that was going around. I decided I wasn't that curious. I've never seen 'two girls one cup' either. I don't regret my choice.
Edit: I also didn't need to see the Charlie Kirk murder, either.
Okay that last one is a dramatic masterpiece. You gotta.
2g1c and beheadings sre missable, but kirk's a classic, and not particularly gruesome.
I've seen a beheading by some russian nazis in like 2010. As a teenager (around that time) i used to look up rotten.com and facesofdeath a fair bit. A lot i forgot, but some pictures will stay with me until i die. Sounds worse than it is, they just pop up from time to time.
Recently i searched for random telegram chanells because i was bored and found some israeli and islamic chanells that had a lot of execution and some mild gore content. That dosn't do anything with me emotionalie, i am keenly aware of the fact that humans murder and kill their own and other species all the time.
Still haven't seen two girls and one cup. Not even sure what its about, i think it's some kink stuff involving bodily fluids? I don't see any benefit in watching it. The gore stuff at least is a lesson about reality that people from my part of the world aren't exposed to, at least for now. In a way it helps to stay grounded on how fucked up live is for many people and creatures on this planet, something that is far to easy to forget when living in the 'sanitized' west.
everyday I'm thankful I never let curiosity get to the better of me as a kid on the internet
I didn't need to, was walking around at my school when some other student was watching them out in the open on a computer in the hallway
Oof, I'm sorry, that's rough. Flash games?
Flash games were awesome
Motherload was the best
I remember it! Macromedia Flash sucked ass.
No, Flash was a proprietary platform for animated content before the modern web standards. You're thinking of the MP3 player.
Edit: Clearly a poor attempt at setting up someone to reply with "no you're thinking of Winamp, ..."
I’m not sure if you’re being funny and I’m not getting it. Macromedia were the original developers of various web products. Flash and Dreamweaver for example. They were acquired by Adobe and it was renamed to Adobe Flash.
They’re talking about the same Flash you are.
Flash itself was junk. People made some amazing things with it, though.
Was there an MP3 player named Flash? TIL
RIP Flash
Gotta make a move to a town that's right for me Town to keep me movin', keep me groovin' with some energy
I dont know how i did it as a kid. Teenagers are psychopaths I guess.
Well, at least I wasn't the only one who had that song pop into their head upon reading the post!
I'm fairly sure I saw the same beheading video in 2003. I was convinced it was real. My one friend was convinced it was fake. Our other friend couldn't decide.
Now, with hindsight, I'm STILL convinced it was real, but I'm wondering if what I saw was an early version of what would later become ISIS.
ISIS didn't exist formally yet in 2003, but it's not like they just came from nowhere. I'm fairly confident that I saw an early version of it with that beheading video.
was it... was it the one with the chain saw? I dont really want to remember it but its burned into my memory.
My dad sent me that video without any note or warning 😂
The one I saw around the same time, perhaps a couple of years earlier, was from Chechnia. It has always been a favourite execution method of Islamists. ISIS didn't invent it.
I saw it in that timeframe. Sadly, it's real.. ☹️😭
it’s not like they just came from nowhere
So a lot of their members were Saddam's party. Part of 'debaathification' involved putting everyone who had been in the party on a list, but the nature of a 1 party state, that includes everyone from professors and traffic engineers to professional throat-slitters and the people managing them. If you were on the list, you could not be employed at any state enterprise. This made anyone whose job didn't have a private sector equivalent, functionally unemployable.
I'm still traumatized from some of those MySpace pages.
