qotw(whatever): whats the oddest rabbit hole youve gone down? (that ur comfortable mentioning obviously) im currently in the decay of bodies rabbit hole.
everyone seems to interpret this as "the most disturbing"... I've read about some lesser-known diseases like fatal insomnia and prion disease, and got really into creepypastas (particularly sonic.exe and NES Godzilla) a while back, and to an extent computer malware could be considered disturbing, but I don't consider any of that to be odd, because a lot of people enjoy reading about disturbing things. (If they didn't, my YouTube recommendations wouldn't be flooded with poorly researched, clickbait video essays about things that are "disturbing" and "controversial".)
The most obscure rabbit holes I've been down include Bandcamp netlabels and software mascot lore.
Believe or not, I’m currently on a rabbit hole about ‘gruesome’ things and genres… it’s hard to explain, but things like ero guro and the painting “Saturn devouring his son” are super interesting to me! Anything grotesque I always find interesting, dunno… super hard to explain but maybe that’s an insight ?
The most disturbing I went down was likely true crime a few years ago? I can't remember any others. If you want to know the longest and strangest (in regards to me; not objective strangest), it was goldfish breeding and care. I'm not even super interested in fish?
Okay so one time I was googling something related to ww2 and then I ended up on the Wikipedia page for Italy and then the slaughtering of this little village and a fuckton of other stuff I don’t remember. The last thing I remember is how it ended which was on the page for my grandfather’s gynaecology clinic reading reviews
yeah this is deefff getting me observed by my school IM JUST A GUY WHO WANTS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY :(
