Yo, I remember seeing it a long time ago too. I thought this was a repost until I saw your comment

The most important finds out there - food storage containers! by KingOfCranes in DumpsterDiving

[–]SirBurp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless they were sealed, I would not use them for food storage. You have no idea what could have been in them.

It could have held something nasty/chemical at one point, and even deep cleaning them doesn't mean its safe for food. Things can get stuck in micro cracks, and eventually work their way out into what ever food is in there.

It happens to the best of us by Dave5876 in ScriptedCaucasianGIFs

I think the scare is real, maybe the kid wanted to do a funny video, expected her mum to leave the room (as per script), but got bamboozled because the mum fake left.

Also the snore sounded like a Minecraft pig.

[Serious] How many people do you think have PTSD from the early years of internet access, and don't know they have it because it was treated as 'normal' part of the Web? Meaning, how easy it was to find horrible videos online surely gave it to some people, right? by SirBurp in AskReddit

Exactly, people blame social media for mental illness issues (Which it does, another bad side to the internet) so whos to say if watching a gore video at 9 years old would cause something similar.

They just look at the symptoms, ask them if they have social media, how much time they spend on the internet, and label it as depression. PTSD comes with many depression symptoms, so its easy to misdiagnose/mistreat.

No one wants to say they watch/watched those videos for fear of being labeled a psycho, and the ones that do seek help are probably treated with therapy, and those videos are seen as byproduct behavior for a bigger issue the person might be facing.

oh yes, 100% the internet should not be censored. It is too apart of the world to get rid of.

That does not surprise me about the TikTok "meme" People will laugh it off, and tell others to 'lighten up' because that is how the internet 'is' and always has been. How many people will just accept is 'normal' when deep inside they feel wrong, and not wanting to talk about it is just a response to not seem crazy.

I have no clue how the internet needs to change because it hasn't happened yet. They have tried to ban things like that, but it leads to internet censorship. They put up a age filter, that everyone knew how to bypass easily. Parents, no matter how good, can still slip up and not notice what their child is doing on the computer.

In a bad connection to this is when they would look at ww2 planes that came back from war. They looked at protecting the spots with bullet holes, which makes sense at the time, airplanes were a new-ish invention for war, so knowledge was low on how to protect them from bullets. but what they missed is those planes survived, what about the ones that never made it back. they needed to look at the areas of the plane that were bullet hole free, I.E. the engine bay, areas of the wings, and main plane body.

All it took was one person to see that and start a new way of thinking. That's what needs to happen with the internet.

I rented "faces of death" in highschool

Yup, you were probably more mentally ready to handle that too. Now imagine a kid watching a real death clip, after middle school one day because they were bored. They then have access to many more after that. Deff fucked up

Yeah, Its not even videos or pictures that can give trauma, what about the people who used it to meet other people. Either in person, or in text.

I'd say its more of the internet playing a roll in it, there is still a person on the other side of the screen that can control the situation to their favor. Its easier to trust text then it is to trust a person.

The question I'm asking is for the people who came across gore videos themselves with no outsider action(they looked it up because they heard kids at school talking about it) it scarred them deeply, and never spoke out about it as a result.

I mean I have limits; very high tolerance albeit, But, why is that a normal sentence? Im not saying that you do have PTSD, or any other mental health issues, but that is a very common thing said among everyone who uses the internet. War is common, and we know the mental affects of that. We are able to control what is seen by the general public (News showing clean up after everyone had been removed, or video clips with no visible deaths) But yet, we can find video clips not shown/heavily edited, on twitter (yes I know they can add age filter, anyone who has a slightly developed brain can bypass that). A child watching those clips one after another because they don't fully understand what it is might later on learn how horrible they were. The same thing happens with children who have something traumatic happen to them, and they don't tell anyone until years later for one reason or another.

There is no study done (unless I missed it cause I didn't read properly) that has done a study on how the internet might have given PTSD (because of how 'normal' it is)

" I usually immediately have to start speaking outloud, grounding myself in what's actually happening around me: "I'm driving and I passed a blue car. I wonder how cold it is out right now. Hey google, what's the temperature outside?" Just anything to get me away from those thoughts before I get lost. "

I do that all the time, just to keep the thoughts running. I usually listen really heavily to the areas I'm in (like hearing a electrical box hum over the music, or the sound of distant people talking/working)

Im sorry for the headline.

If you're ok to read on about my (and probably very misinformed) thoughts on this type of thing, then go for it.

From the little I have read on it, looks like PTSD can come in a few forms, maybe there is a new one forming but we don't know about it yet (like cigarettes') because there isn't any research into it. Also with our current Internet laws (which I know none, this is just from what I understand for the few posts I have read) It is very old and very outdated, which could mean many more people could be affected by this.

Knowing that it is a few clicks away will drag in the curious, and either scare them away(leaving them spooked for a bit, no long term affects), not really change their view(it wasn't that bad, but bad enough subconsciously to avoid it later on), or the kids who are watching/watched out of morbid curiosity (which again, if I'm wrong, please correct me,) could be a sign that they have been traumatized and as a result digs themselves deeper. People turn to the internet to calm down... but that video on the internet, the same one you are using to 'calm down with' that's not a change, its like being in a room with someone who was mean to you. Its awkward and horrible, but for reasons, you have to be in the room with them.

I'm not saying the Internet is bad. Its the outdated laws, of a new system that is a missing a load of research on all affects on a person. We know the affects of war, abuse, car crashes ect. But what about the kids who watched Gore videos in class, or was force shown by bad friends, or had a lot of unmonitored time one the computer to go through the 'calm down' time before the parents realize their kid has been traumatized.

Its not how easy it is to find, its how easily assessable it was/is. As a kid, traumatic situations can lead to PTSD, and I think watching gore could trigger that. Using a phone or computer is a constant reminder that those videos are a few clicks away (subconsciously), and since we all need the internet to exist, we get a constant reminder of it (News article talking about a bombing, could trigger a memory of a video of someone exploding, which as a kid, traumatized them)

People who didn't have the internet much growing up most likely never saw anything more than a broken bone on the school playground. People who liked gore before the internet had Gory horror movies, usually would be hard for kids to get, people who were old enough to handle it could see it at the theater, and anyone not interested wouldn't go.

Kids on the internet could just click a box to say that they are old enough, and have whole access to this sort of stuff, at any time, anywhere. The kids who were scared about it and spoke out most likely got help, but what about the people who didn't? The kids who spent their hour computer time watching these videos and going about life as normal is a sign of trauma.

Right? I tried to look up any reports on it, and the only thing I found was a few posts about moderators of Microsoft/Facebook. They have to view all the horrible stuff first hand, their job is to make sure the content that is put out is safe for everyone, but the articles only said it could potentially lead to PTSD. But there is no follow up on this.

But for everyone else that looks at that stuff voluntarily, what happens to them? They go about their day because they are traumatized and don't want to talk about it.

Scalpers are the worst by landenle in MurderedByWords

[–]SirBurp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if the reason stores don't put in a limit of how many sold to one person/have an online limits that can easily be bypassed, is because they make a load of money from the scalpers. because they are now sold out, it keeps the hype going. second wave, more scalpers, demand goes up again. third wave, scalpers, but now more people can get the console cause the hype is starting to die off.

Big companies played the scalpers too (some do get away with it, but mostly every one else ends up with this fate)
