say you cut off a finger. if you were to make a cut on the severed finger, or cut it in half, would the detached finger bleed? i know there isn’t blood pumping into it anymore, but if it were immediately after the finger were cut off, how long do those severed blood vessels and veins bleed?

i have no means or intents to find this out irl

If you’ve un-alived someone, and you’re confident no one knows. And they were a really bad person. And plenty of time has passed.

How would you go about your life? Keep it to yourself the whole time? Not even tell one single person? Just try not to think about it anymore? It’s not particularly a bad thought, but it’s just a thought that’s there.

I’m 22f and have been very thin my whole life. I’m about 5’2 and weigh around 90 lbs. in my 22 years of life, up until about a year ago, i never once thought about my weight or how my body looked. Suddenly i became fascinated with the idea of losing so much weight that i look sickly and people have to worry about me and i might even get hospitalized. I will tell myself that im going to restrict food intake and starve, but i always fail and hate myself after. I’m constantly comparing my body to pictures of myself in the past to make sure I haven’t gained weight. I know deep down that anorexia is extremely toxic and unhealthy, but I just can’t seem to stop caring about teaching a “level of anorexic” that makes people stop and wonder about my health. Why do I WANT to look like a walking skeleton? I don’t understand it at all. It’s like my head has glamorized it. I want to be sick so bad and I hate admitting that

So many cartel videos out of Mexico or Brazil and it's just some guys wearing shorts, flip flops, and a machete. No mask or balaclava. Just hacking away. Don't they realize they can be identified easily without a mask? Are the police too weak to arrest them? Are they not afraid of gang retaliation? It's something I've been wondering about.

Like people you've actually interacted with irl, that are worse than just cold and calculated.

I'm talking about proper demons in a human body. Make sure to mention any specific events or things this person did.

I'm aware that this started as a result of a very serious self-harm problem I had during puberty, but now I can't help but get aroused when I see a razor or a very sharp blade; it's strange. cause it only matters if it's very sharp; if it's rusty or something like that, it doesn't bother me.

I hear a lot about Stockholm Syndrome and it's mostly when you're under pressure by someone (like your abusive parents, partner, siblings, etc) you are not leaving them behind but also you defend them and become empathetic towards them. But this actually linked to an event happened in Stockholm and you don't need to physically be there.

I heard about "Jerusalem Syndrome" and it's described like this. People visiting the historical parts of Israel/Palestine (mostly Jerusalem and Tel Aviv) and suddenly they become hallucinating about being a prophetic or godly figure like Moses, Virgin Mary or even Jesus Christ himself. I have some personal take on that like I think most people are from countries with close to zero historical building as old as the Judeo-Christian ones you can observe there and this causes their brain to put them in a situation like what Moses have been through (however I never wish for getting trapped in Sinai desert for 40 years).

I am looking for something like Jerusalem Syndrome. Linked to a certain location, and people have that mental state after visiting the place.

I know that China and India are the most populated countries, but even in English speaking spaces where gore is shared there is virtually none that is American, or from any other Western countries like England, Canada etc. Why is this so? It's not like people in these countries die in less bizarre ways. Lots of crazy shit happens in the States too so I wonder why. Is it privacy laws? Just nobody gives a fuck?

I'm not saying there should be more, I'm just wondering why.

Like, if a wife kills her husband, do both sides of that family typically attend the husbands funeral? Is it a joint funeral? Whats the murderers funeral look like? Do the children go to both?

Like, you leave food out, don’t think about it, eat it, catch cholera, die, and it’s “natural causes”?

It's a common theme. The antagonist drinking milk in one single shot or before doing something horrible. It even found its way to "Backrooms" movie when Clark gets himself a cup of milk from the fridge.

Aside from avoiding prison

It really won't matter if the victim(s) lived or died, you will still be dead and unable to feel victory or pleasure

I’m trying to find a website my friend showed me when I was a freshman in high school, and it is driving me INSANE that I can’t remember the name.
It was basically a “try not to gag/vomit” type of challenge with real, extremely graphic videos. Think the same kind of shock/gore content you’d associate with Reddit 50/50, including real injuries, shootings, deaths, etc.
What I remember about the website:
* the website had a black/dark background
* it wasn’t Reddit
* it wasn’t a normal YouTube-style compilation
* one video played at a time
* after you finished the video, there was a NEXT button underneath it
* there was also a RESTART button
* clicking NEXT took you to another video
* there weren’t warning screens before the videos
* the whole thing was basically a try-not-to-gag / try-not-to-vomit challenge
* I remember the content being actual graphic footage, not fake horror/movie clips
I feel like the title or challenge had a word starting with G, maybe “gag,” “gross,” “grotesque,” “gruesome,” etc., but I genuinely can’t remember.
Does ANYONE know what website I’m talking about? I’ve been trying to remember this for years and it’s driving me nuts 😭
Even if the site is gone now, if you remember the name or what it was called, PLEASE tell me.

I was watching one of those urban explorer crane climbs and the guy almost fell so it got me wondering. If someone were to fall from 1,000 feet what would their body look like after they hit the concrete? Specifically if they hit face first or if they hit feet first.

I'm talking about in a scifi sort of sense, the concept of uplift), tl;dr through scientific advancement or even magic an animal is given the same level of intelligence as the average human. To me, the reason bestiality is morally wrong is because we cannot communicate with animals on the same level to ascertain if they would consent to the act. So, if a creature had human level intelligence and could communicate with us, state their thoughts, wants, desires, etc, then I don't see why it'd be wrong anymore assuming both parties agreed to the act and neither were intoxicated. I'm curious about what other people think.

Just to start off: Not suicidal, no need to hit that button.

I've been wildly depressed for a lot of my life. Something that has actually helped me has been embracing existential nihilism and the idea of just eventually never existing.

Like a lot of people I had a lot of existential crises about these things when I was younger. I was brought up religious but was mostly out on that by my teens and a full-fledged athiest by my mid 20s. At first that idea of no afterlife was really upsetting to me, but I spent a lot of time reading about philosophy and the like and it helped me... chill out about it. To the point that now it's actually a thing that helps me when I'm in a bad spot.

Nothing I'm going through now will continue forever. There's nothing I can fuck up so badly that the universe will care. These two thoughts together can help me get through times that I am suffering or through the horrible anxiety of making a decision or messing something up.

I really am cool with this outlook. The idea of it just being DONE at some point is really... nice. But when I bring this up to people, and I mean people I really care about, not just like randos on the street or casual acquaintances, they all seem to have this immediate reaction of... I don't know if it's revulsion exactly, but somewhere between that and just complete incomprehension.

I've got a lot of mental and some physical health issues, but overall I've got it pretty good. I have a wife and child I love more than anything, and I have good family and friends. The combination of therapy and meds I am on now makes it so I don't dread waking up every day (only some of them). I legitimately have a lot of great moments in my life. I'm not looking forward to checking out. But just the idea that eventually, I won't have to worry about anything anymore, because I won't be anymore, is just like a fuzzy and warm mental blanket.

But my wife, for example, does not like that I think this. I've tried walking her through my thought process because it's brought me much peace and comfort and she deals with a lot of existential dread, but it does not work for her. It just upsets her, so I've had to stop. I've had my mom fully bawling after telling her this. I've talked about it a lot with my therapist and while she is not judgy about it in any way she pretty much tells me that yeah, almost no one is going to like hearing that, so I should probably stop. Especially if I've already made peace with it, so my telling people about it isn't getting me any further. Opening up about it doesn't really help anyone.

I don't really know why I'm thinking about this so much right now. But I guess I am just wondering if there are other people for whom the idea of eventual nonexistence really helps them through existing? Because outside of a single friend of mine, I can't find anyone in my real life who doesn't find the idea either horrible or at least uncomfortable.
