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

    edit: this is not a good thing

      Yeah, I’m all for conspiracies and many have been proven true over time. Q is a whole different world.

        I want the return of fun conspiracy theories.

        Bigfoot. Aliens. Secret government weapon projects.

    Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK, his head just kind of did that sometimes.

    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.

        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.

      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.

      There’s way more to schizophrenia than just seeing something that’s not there, though.

          And what, prey tell, is the point? I don’t get it, but it’s harmless, so mostly I just saw judgement in the OP.

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

    https://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.
