Headlines: “Trump elected President”.
“UK votes to leave the EU”
Headlines showing idiocy is ruling the roost
My aunts FB comments. My whole life I thought she was a lovely sweet lady, who was always super nice to me… Then I saw some years later she told somone else in the comment section should kill himself. Simple reason: the other person had different political views. It turns out she is a hardcore racist with very fascist world view and she is super proud of it.
I am not on FB for a very long time and I didn’t talk to her for 10+ years but I think it is for the best.
I logged in to my bank account the other day…
My credit card was cancelled due to nonpayment, so of course my credit score went up (a lot) because my DTI went down
I assume this is that famous american thing where you’re punished for paying cash, avoiding leasing and subscriptions?
Yes. And somehow having $20k credit card debt is worse than $100k student loan debt 🫠
… and written there in my last income slip was “here’s an extra 2000, to my favourite employee, ya filthy cunt.”
Trump shit. The realization that we have yet to hit the bottom. It could get incalculably worse.
The Russian brick video. Nothing gore involved and it’s an accident that can happen to anyone at anytime while driving.
The one with the man’s wife in the passenger seat?
His cries were horrifying and so sad.
Children being mistreated. I can’t. Not after having kids myself. I’m a wreck after seeing stuff like that now.
Although I don’t have kids everything I’ve heard about the Ruby Franke/8 Passengers case made my blood boil. That scumbag saw her kids as nothing but a way to get clicks and money, and I’m glad that she’s going to rot in prison.
And related to this, add animal abuse to the list of things that make my blood boil too. It’s wild to think that until recently there was such a thing as a thriving “monkey torture network”.
Indeed. Horrific things. Innocent people and animals, so enraging to see.
I was probably in my teens when I saw this video of stomping little bunnies with heels. Like sharp heel shoes, whatever you call them. And the bunnies could do nothing but receive this torture.
Bear in mind I had watched beheadings and other gore prior to this, on a crazy early millennium Internet.
But those bunnies. I had to turn it off.
The numerous cases of 4chan users providing “tech support” to children who don’t know any better.
Especially making a child put their parent’s laptop in the oven while throwing its battery in a bowl of salt water (which can short circuit the battery and cause it to catch fire btw).
Furuta Junko, need I say more?
Yes, you need to say more. I have absolutely no idea what that is and I don’t want to Google it if it’s really that horrifying.
She was a Japanese high school student who was kidnapped, raped, tortured, and finally murdered after 40 days by a group of teenage boys who almost all got severely light sentences. The perpetrators were known to have bragged about their crimes and their family members desecrated her grave for ruining their sons’ lives.
He was a Japanese mech pilot who invented the kamikaze corp in WW1 as part of Operation Jinjuriki to overthrow the Emporer’s wife who was said to be quite large. I have also not googled anything.
2016->2019
For me it has to be an audio recording some old guy made of him hiding in his basement to confront two neighborhood teenagers who kept sneaking into his house. He shoots the guy first, then if i remember correctly the girl was in shock and said something like “you shot him” and then the old guy was like “you’re fucking dead removed” and executed her.
Then he proceeded to leave the bodies in his basement over the weekend, then went to the cops to report the attempted robbery. Upon presenting his evidence, he was arrested.
This seems like it involves gore.
Isn’t gore visual?
All fair points, I guess. Dictionary for gore, blood that is shed, murder/bloodshed/violence etc. So I suppose it does technically meet the threshold for gore, even though it is just audio. Subject involves gore.
Good to know
Excluding anything that involved violence or injury (beyond gore), I’ll go with Kiwi Farms
Birds or fruit?
New Zealanders
Lemon party
working conditions at Amazon delivery centres
It was actually when I first started using this site. I’ve been jumpscared by worst shit spammed by some bot on Lemmy Shitpost than anything I’ve ever seen mingling around internet edgelords
CSAM back when those losers spammed Lemmy with it
Similarly, I was on a sort of diary forum and someone decided to share their very graphic life story with no warning whatsoever.
I mean I get why they shared it but it was so horrifying to know that a child went through that. I mean I know there’s always the possibility it was a fake post but given what I know about confirmed cases (including someone I know personally), I believe it.
