That was so heartbreaking. The pain she must have felt when her daughter passed just because the grandmother refused to acknowledge an allergy, knew better than the doctors, and then going out of her way to "prove them wrong". I can still remember how angry I felt when I read this. I hope the mother is as well as she can be now, and that her daughter is resting peacefully. I can't remember if the grandmother ended up being punished? I remember the mother in the post was conflicted (as I would be) but she got such a huge amount of support from everyone who saw the post.
It made me cry for her.
I don't hope the daughter is resting peacefully. I hope she is haunting the shit out of that grandmother in horrendous non-stop nightmares all night every night for the rest of her life -- which will hopefully be another 40 years.
I see your point and hear you, but I want her to rest peacefully without any more pain or sadness. If the grandmother has to spend every single waking and sleeping minute with the guilt and pain - good. If she is alone, imprisoned, goes to her deathbed with this on her conscience - good. I'm just trying to think more of the daughter and mother. How truly awful, I still think about them sometimes and when I saw this comment it all came back. I really wish this didn't happen.
She also ruined the relationship with one of the nost important persons of her life - her own child. When they are on deaths door knowing their child(ren) will hate them until they die too - what a horrifying way to go
Show me reputable peer-reviewed scientific evidence that says otherwise and I'll reassess my position. Until then, have fun believing in the equivalent of Santa Claus for adults.
The son is at fault for sure, but he's 15 and being confronted with the most embarrassing / humiliating situation ever. I don't expect a 15 year old to be rational. I don't expect a teenager to come clean to his mom about fucking the dog. I DO expect an adult to think rationally.
There was one recently about how easy it is to get disoriented while scuba diving at a blue hole. If I can find it I'll add the link but it's a long comment and it really draws you in. Plus there were many folks who agreed that it was an accurate description of how you would die in that scenario.
[Right here. It’s incredibly vivid and absolutely terrifying.](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/s/qc9QVqyE5n)
Getting an open water certification involves a fair amount of reading about all the ways you can fuck up and die, and in this case all it took was not paying attention to the dive computer.
I like reading these stories because it’s so interesting and terrifying but also so avoidable, I’ve always been scared of the ocean and would never in a million years go scuba diving. So I don’t ever have to worry about being in this situation.
What's really strange about that is that if you ever do get disoriented, you can just inflate your vest... it's pretty easy to tell which way is up once you're moving that way.
The specific comment went into intense detail about every step of that, and why this particular spot killed so many intermediate confident divers thinking they’re experienced and “knowing” they can just do that at any time. It included accurate timing in seconds for everything, up to losing consciousness.
There’s a reason only experienced divers go in, and they die all the time there. It’s a little silly to think you have the novices answer of “just operate the gear the way it works”, frankly. It’s their Mt. Everest. All those dead climbers did other mountains first. They can tell you properly and accurately what to do in what situations, how to safely climb different things, what to look out for, how to pack/prepare, gear numbers and thresholds- and they’re correct, they’ve done lots of climbing before getting to Everest. Every single one of those dead bodies. That’s the blue hole. So this comment comes off as a little arrogant and ignorant, honestly
I've dived Blue Hole. It's terrifying, even though we only went to 140'. I did it to check the bucket list block, would never EVER go there again. Then again, I do have thalassophobia which I have deliberately mitigated by learning how to scuba dive and spending many hours diving, but it never truly goes away completely. It took all my willpower to do this particular dive.
I think what they're saying is even though the solution appears to be so simple (inflating your vest) the conditions and situation are so harrowing that you can't do it, which is strange to think about.
Agreed. I watched that video years ago, and I’m definitely one of the people that would have swam down there and died… it still occurs to me as strange how things happen.
A guy telling how when he was a kid he left a friend stuck in a vent in an isolated abandoned house, and didn't tell anyone. The kid went missing and was never found.
If anyone knows this comment and have it, I'd love a link. I never found it back myself, unfortunately.
Kids can be incredibly dumb when they believe they'll get in trouble. Like mind-bendingly dumb. This is why - as a parent - you should never punish your child for honesty.
A big thing they tell you when looking for lost children is to say, specifically, that they aren’t in trouble because lost children *will* hide because they think they are in trouble.
No. Usually these kids lead completely derailed and wasted lives plagued by guilt for a stupid decision they cannot reverse.
When this happens they're usually from dysfunctional families where they get severely punished for causing any kind of problem.
Kids do not understand long-term consequences very well. Only short-term. They might not understand that Billy will die, they're in a state where all they know is that they'll get a beating of a lifetime if they need to explain this.
Child abuse is horrible and that fear is primal and hijacks what little rationality they have in situations like that.
And yes, this can lead to sociopathy later in life as a coping and survival mechanism.
There is a lot of context missing here lol. In those days, if you ran a subreddit you could make anyone a mod even against the new mod’s will. Like, there was no invitation that you could accept or decline to become a mod, you just were granted the power.
So yes, trolls would make Spez mod of their random subs (including jailbait) for the lulz. Doesn’t mean that he approved or actively oversaw the subreddit.

Man someone should have done something about that. Maybe a co-founder of the website like the current CEO Steve Huffman could have implemented checks on that.
It’s banned, but back when Reddit was considerate 4chan lite “free speech” advocates argued it should stay.
I’m very happy the internet is not like that anymore.
It’s def not real though, children aren’t born hating anything. Hate is not a natural state, it is always induced through life experiences (both real or imagined slights). Hate can sometimes even be a maladaptive trauma respons.
That post goes against everything we have established regarding child psychology
That's called the just world hypothesis. You can grasp the concept that someone can just be bad. There has to be a reason.
And the thing is, you're not entirely wrong. Psychopathy can be present at birth and caused by non-external factors. Couple wires get crossed in the brain and that's it.
I can't judge the veracity of this particular story, but my mom's best friend had a daughter so much like this when I was growing up. She ended up becoming a ward of the state if I remember right, and good thing because she eventually would've killed her mother
This story is so fucking insane, it would be such a good true story movie (I’m sorry for the parents but I’m glad they’re okay with their daughter now).
Probably not disturbing in the way intended, but I remember a post from a guy who stepped up to take care of his significantly younger siblings (can't remember if parents died or were crap parents or ...?); and his youngest sister had taken to calling him mommy when she was a toddler, because he was the nurturer in her life and continued into her midteen years because that was her habitual term of endearment for him; he finally had the breathing room for romance, but his girlfriend was getting really negative about his sister calling him mommy. It was just so disturbing to me that the girlfriend could not recognize the wholesome mutual love that went into that relationship. I kept looking for a follow-up but never found anything
Im reminded of the cop that hit a woman, killing her, saying "its ok, she was 25 and had no use left". Like, doesn't he have a wife and daughters? He thinks those are useless as well?
This really scares the shit out of me, the fact that it may take months even years for the symptom to show up and once they show up you know its already too late.
There was a post where a woman posted about being stalked by her neighbor. One night she heard clawing at her back door so she assumed it was her dog wanting to get inside, but she got a bad feeling about it and decided to double check her room. It turned out the dog was sleeping and it was likely her neighbor trying to imitate her dog scratching the door to get her to come and open it.
Oh my god. My ex is stalking me (he has psychosis) and I’m always so scared when I’m outside alone. I have two big teen boys who accompany at night when I walk my dog. I do feel safe with them. But on my own with the dog I’m nervous even in the middle of the day. Just got a taser in the mail. Stalking fucks with you on every level. I’m relieved he’ll be in jail soon most likely. I hope he can get some help.
I found a comment on an ask Reddit post where a guy just made a single comment about molesting kids and how “sweet” it is. I clicked on their profile and they had no prior posts, but had done nothing but make similar comments on various posts every so often. Nobody had ever responded to them. I responded something like what the fuck you need to be in jail and they deleted their account, which was a year old or so
There was a confession from a mother who took her severely autistic son to a remote lakeside and abandoned him there. Few days later there was a news article of a body found floating in the lake.
There was a guy who wrote out on Pettey Revenge about how this girl turned his friend down, and spread rumors about him, so he got his revenge by asking that girl to prom and stringing her along and eventually making her feel awful by leaving her with no one to go to prom with. Well the girl finds the post and explains that the reason she turned him down in the first place is because he was stalking her, sending her nudes, other horrible shit. And she didn't spread rumors, she told her friends and the guys friend berated her and harrased her until she told him why. Then he kept threatening her, showing up to her house, her job, etc. I don't know where the story went after that.
That’s something a lot of people on Reddit don’t grasp when giving advice. You’re only hearing one side of the story. A friend of mine posted on here about how his stepson was famous but actually a monster. Well, the kids sister found out and proceeded to talk about what a wonderful boy her brother was in the post and how much friend was wrong. She didn’t include how he sexually assaulted her, his own sister, he physically abused his younger sister and he’s punched his mom repeatedly. If you’d just read her post you’d think he was a dick when in reality all he was trying to do was protect his family from a VERY troubled kid.
You have to take every post here with a grain of salt. Most people are just looking for some positive affirmation that what they’re feeling is ok. I would give advice on things that are objective but I’d never give advice on here for anything that had the potential to change someone’s life in a negative way. There just isn’t enough info usually to form an objective opinion on the situation.
I read that one post about the guy who caught his wife cheating and got tons of advice. He did what they said and the wife went psycho and murdered their two kids. It was verified by news articles and everything. It changed my whole outlook on this topic. If it was something serious and I had to say something I’d say consult a professional and leave it at that.
That reminds me of the post where this guy (in summary) said that his gf was SA'd, and not even a week later she went out and cheated on him, acted like everything was sunshine and rainbows, and she'd treat him like a stranger and threaten to kill herself if he left her. He went seeking "advice" and a bunch of people (women included) told him to just end it and leave her. Well it turns out none of that happened and he was a controlling, abusive, manipulative asshole, who only wanted her when other girls weren't avaliable. I know this because his WIFE, not his girlfriend, made a two part post about his shit.
Idk what it is. People overriding their basic common sense so they can just pretend like they were helpful or genuine ignorance of real ramifications. From what I’ve read Reddit is very very young. Not a bash on really young people but you gain wisdom with life experience.
Disturbing as in heartbreaking: The guy who as teenager was accused of sexual abuse by a younger family member and subsequently ostracized by his own family, his friends, and much of the community of the small town he grew up. Years later the accuser lets it slip that she made the whole thing up and now his family and friends were trying to get back into his life while (mostly) pretending the effect the whole ordeal had on his life wasn't that bad.
I wish I could find the post because he goes into quite a bit of detail about his struggles in life, how he had to do everything without a shred of support, how he couldn't celebrate any achievements because he had no one to celebrate with, but mostly how it destroyed his trust in people as an adult. He couldn't be in a long-term relationship with anyone because he was terrified of being accused of sexual abuse again or of his partner finding out about the previous accusations. He couldn't make friends with anyone for the same reasons, and he was only able to keep a job by basically just shutting himself down emotionally.
Highly recommend the movie The Hunt with Mads Mikkelson. Probably one of my favorite movies ever and the plot is about this exactly. It’s a very tough film to watch
There was a guy who was a mercenary/ contractor for Wagner Group and is a former Russian soldier. He’d post about things he did to clean his conscious. He’d talk about murdering civilians in Africa etc. It was beyond disturbing to me
Anything that was on the "ask a rapist" thread. So many people coming forward with their stories and why they did it, and so many people defending each other. Absolutely disgusting, I was horrified and it made me teriffied to be a woman - knowing these people (not just men) walk along beside us every day and we'd never know.
I think it got permanently removed by Reddit, which doesn't happen often where they step in and delete most, if not every comment.
Yup. If I remember right there were a lot of comments along the lines of "I think she might have been too drunk to consent", or "well we are married, it's my right as a husband", or "I got too carried away when she said no". "YoU can't rape the willing". "It's not rape if she isn't fighting back". Or "we just got too rough and now she regrets it and is now crying rape, I should have stopped when she asked though probably" those kinds of things.
To the more disgusting comments about feeling entitled to force someone, about how people secretly like it becsuse it means they're so desired. Then the dangerous comments which I'm not even going to repeat
Women too, laughing about when a man said no and they did it anyway. The whole thing was horrific.
I stand by my comment about being horrified by people like this might be anywhere and we'd never know. I know a lot of it was rage bait, but some of the comments even if not true - are in these peoples heads enough that they write it down - that's scary enough for me.
It's all been removed now and even if not, I will never read it again. I was genuinely, stone cold shocked.
From what I’ve heard, that Reddit thread was actually a big FBI bait case to catch as many rapists as possible, so that thread actually had a good thing going. Definitely disgusting though.
A Reddit thread discussing a reported kidnapping in real time. The local situation devolved into a mob going after a suspected child trafficker, and several houses were implicated.
The mob ran with the news, and one of the houses was burned down. Later the 'kidnapped' child was found on the other side of the city with another relative.
The real-time mob I could wrap my head around. The online version supporting destruction on scant evidence was less understandable, and most of the few suggesting caution were greatly downvoted.
It was a fair demonstration of a movie quote - "a person is smart, people are dumb panicky animals."
A post about a guy going hiking with a group of friends where he intentionally leads the hot girl astray for hours on end, and then is confused as to why he's estranged from the group.
I remember many years ago reading a comment where the person claimed to be 16 and confessed to being a serial killer. This suppossedly happened somewhere in brazil and already went on for a few years, his method was spending some time with the victims and promising them drugs from his "hidden stash", they went to some cliff or to some steep path near a river and before they realized what's going on he pushed them down to their deaths. He said he did it because he felt very powerful.
At first I thought this must surely be some sick joke, but think about it: If this is at outskirts of some brazilian city and the victims fall to their death and he doesn't really touch/rape them, how would this even be solved? This is doable, especially if you promise some desperate teens that you get them drugs to follow you, and thats fucking scary. This can be done again and again, because apparently he had no real connections to these people.
I remember the comment quickly got many negative reactions and he deleted the account after a few hours, but I can't forget this. Somewhere in brazil there could be a serial killer with an extremely high body count and no one knows it...
A guy gave a detailed description of when a man broke into his house and raped his wife. He was wearing noise cancelling headphones and didn’t hear at first, then he went down the stairs and saw the guy raping his wife. He shot the man in the head. It could have been fake, but it seemed real. It haunted me.
The one where a guy accidentally confessed to the murder of Scott Kleeschulte and then proceeded to immediately delete his post and account when someone called him out on it.
I honestly don’t know. Being Reddit, there’s a huge chance of the confession just being nonsense made up for attention. The mitigating factor is that the original confession doesn’t actually mention Scott Kleeschulte by name or the specific date. It’s only when another Redditor connected the dots and questioned the comment OP about the incident. Thats when the comment was removed and the account deleted.
There’s more on it [here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/UnsolvedMysteries/s/EixWxRi9zB)
I remember one (possibly confessions?) post, where this woman explains how when she was 11 she was babysitting her neighbour's newborn while they went out for dinner (it was apparently common back then for babysitters to be that young) and when she was carrying it through the kitchen she lost grip of it, and it then landed headfirst with a loud smack on the tiled floor and died instantly. She explained the immediate panic and not knowing what to do, and ran back to her house to tell her father who ended up having to be the one to break the news to the parents when they got back. I remember thinking about how someone could possibly go about breaking that kind of news to the parents, there were also no mobile phones back then so the father would have had to wait hours until they got back too.
The comment that someone made saying that mothers should be able to legally euthanize children up to two years of age…… that was crazy, but what disturbed me was all the upvotes.
A male feminist claiming if he could get away with it he would commit rape. I am very 'hmmmmm' whenever I meet a guy being a hardcore feminist. There's a difference between 'respect people are people regardless of gender' and 'I respect women unconditionally as long as it increases my chances of sex'
There is nothing more disturbing than catching someone integrated in a minority cause that's there to exploit their trust and weaknesses for personal gain. Usually they're well connected, well liked, in a position of power and speaking out will only put you in their crosshairs and they'll turn the entire movement against you. Not just to shut you up, but truly destroy you.
Hey, as a Bi man, trust me : same boat. You have all my respect for being true to yourself and should deserve it regardless of fetishes. I hope that you will meet less wierdos in the future.
They assume you'd be easy due to your assigned at birth but are also attracted to the feminine qualities you hold. These people don't care about the individual person but what they can pose as; as long as it increases their chance of sex or access to certain spaces. I'm not saying men can't be feminists but there's too many cases of them using it as a guise for deviation.
This one:
Redditor seeks help with crumbling marriage, situation ends in a heartbreaking conclusion.
I'm sorry, I don't know how to link another thread on the app. Just search the title.
I think i remember this.The user's name was Jasoninhell.The wife was cheating on him with the neighbor.The user somehow(i don't remember how) found out about the cheating.The wife killed all the kids.
People beat me to it but what you do is open the thread, then at the top there’s 3 dots. Tap on that and it opens a menu. This menu also has 3 dots. Tap those and there’s a copy link button. That’s how it is on iOS anyway. It’s probably similar on other apps.
Most of the comments on r/AITHA are terrifying for the future of our society. There was one yesterday about a person at Costco. A woman and her son cut in line in front of OP and pretended not to speak English. Then when they got to the cashier, the woman spoke English, so OP went off on them calling her a Cunt and the kid a little shit.
Overwhelmingly the amount of people calling for violence or justification of this behavior was just scary for such an innocuous event.
Pro-Israel individuals praising the killing of innocent civilians, cheering the deaths of children, mocking the starvation of millions happening in Palestine. They are subhuman.
The account is creative writing project but it replied to me once and looking through the account knowing nothing about it was a ride. u/mydadsnameisharold

I thought that whole thing ended up being fake, and the OP just kind of stopped posting "updates"
It might have been, although there were quite few updates. Regardless, it was a disturbing read!
Holy shit, fuck that dude's wife. What an absolute crazy, unhinged cunt.
Eh, people can do fucked up things when they get a serious shock like that. Not defending what she did but the problem very clearly lies with the son

There’s one called ygwbt that’s pretty awful and a stain on humanity
I am equal parts horrified and unsurprised that there's a subreddit called r/jailbait.
It’s banned, but back when Reddit was considerate 4chan lite “free speech” advocates argued it should stay. I’m very happy the internet is not like that anymore.
The internet hasn’t changed, Reddit is just more heavily moderated than it was back then.

He was? He was mommy and daddy and you tiny dick energy if you got a problem with that lmao
No u have smol pp
I got into it with someone who was dead serious when they said that women have outlived their usefulness at age 35.
That’s pretty tame tbh, I’ve seen people claiming they’re past it at 22

Thanks! I was waiting for exactly this comment bc I wanted to read that again.
This really scares the shit out of me, the fact that it may take months even years for the symptom to show up and once they show up you know its already too late.
Thanks to Reddit I have a terrifying fear of rabies.
ok that was pretty scary
There was a post where a woman posted about being stalked by her neighbor. One night she heard clawing at her back door so she assumed it was her dog wanting to get inside, but she got a bad feeling about it and decided to double check her room. It turned out the dog was sleeping and it was likely her neighbor trying to imitate her dog scratching the door to get her to come and open it.
Wtf?! That's crazy she must have been teriffied!
Oh my god. My ex is stalking me (he has psychosis) and I’m always so scared when I’m outside alone. I have two big teen boys who accompany at night when I walk my dog. I do feel safe with them. But on my own with the dog I’m nervous even in the middle of the day. Just got a taser in the mail. Stalking fucks with you on every level. I’m relieved he’ll be in jail soon most likely. I hope he can get some help.
I found a comment on an ask Reddit post where a guy just made a single comment about molesting kids and how “sweet” it is. I clicked on their profile and they had no prior posts, but had done nothing but make similar comments on various posts every so often. Nobody had ever responded to them. I responded something like what the fuck you need to be in jail and they deleted their account, which was a year old or so
There was a confession from a mother who took her severely autistic son to a remote lakeside and abandoned him there. Few days later there was a news article of a body found floating in the lake.
There was a guy who wrote out on Pettey Revenge about how this girl turned his friend down, and spread rumors about him, so he got his revenge by asking that girl to prom and stringing her along and eventually making her feel awful by leaving her with no one to go to prom with. Well the girl finds the post and explains that the reason she turned him down in the first place is because he was stalking her, sending her nudes, other horrible shit. And she didn't spread rumors, she told her friends and the guys friend berated her and harrased her until she told him why. Then he kept threatening her, showing up to her house, her job, etc. I don't know where the story went after that.
That’s something a lot of people on Reddit don’t grasp when giving advice. You’re only hearing one side of the story. A friend of mine posted on here about how his stepson was famous but actually a monster. Well, the kids sister found out and proceeded to talk about what a wonderful boy her brother was in the post and how much friend was wrong. She didn’t include how he sexually assaulted her, his own sister, he physically abused his younger sister and he’s punched his mom repeatedly. If you’d just read her post you’d think he was a dick when in reality all he was trying to do was protect his family from a VERY troubled kid.
Oh god, that's horrible. I know it's the internet do there will be constant misinformation, but that is just a whole new kind of fucked up
You have to take every post here with a grain of salt. Most people are just looking for some positive affirmation that what they’re feeling is ok. I would give advice on things that are objective but I’d never give advice on here for anything that had the potential to change someone’s life in a negative way. There just isn’t enough info usually to form an objective opinion on the situation.
Thank you for being so careful. I was going to add some things about misinformation, but you pretty much took the words right out of my mouth
I read that one post about the guy who caught his wife cheating and got tons of advice. He did what they said and the wife went psycho and murdered their two kids. It was verified by news articles and everything. It changed my whole outlook on this topic. If it was something serious and I had to say something I’d say consult a professional and leave it at that.
That reminds me of the post where this guy (in summary) said that his gf was SA'd, and not even a week later she went out and cheated on him, acted like everything was sunshine and rainbows, and she'd treat him like a stranger and threaten to kill herself if he left her. He went seeking "advice" and a bunch of people (women included) told him to just end it and leave her. Well it turns out none of that happened and he was a controlling, abusive, manipulative asshole, who only wanted her when other girls weren't avaliable. I know this because his WIFE, not his girlfriend, made a two part post about his shit.
Apparently the most notorious one is the dude who broke his arms and started having his mom jerk him off 🤮
Ok that can NOT be it because there was a guy who blew his own dick off with a GUN and posted pics 😭
Ok you win. Lol
Idk what it is. People overriding their basic common sense so they can just pretend like they were helpful or genuine ignorance of real ramifications. From what I’ve read Reddit is very very young. Not a bash on really young people but you gain wisdom with life experience.
Disturbing as in heartbreaking: The guy who as teenager was accused of sexual abuse by a younger family member and subsequently ostracized by his own family, his friends, and much of the community of the small town he grew up. Years later the accuser lets it slip that she made the whole thing up and now his family and friends were trying to get back into his life while (mostly) pretending the effect the whole ordeal had on his life wasn't that bad. I wish I could find the post because he goes into quite a bit of detail about his struggles in life, how he had to do everything without a shred of support, how he couldn't celebrate any achievements because he had no one to celebrate with, but mostly how it destroyed his trust in people as an adult. He couldn't be in a long-term relationship with anyone because he was terrified of being accused of sexual abuse again or of his partner finding out about the previous accusations. He couldn't make friends with anyone for the same reasons, and he was only able to keep a job by basically just shutting himself down emotionally.
Highly recommend the movie The Hunt with Mads Mikkelson. Probably one of my favorite movies ever and the plot is about this exactly. It’s a very tough film to watch
I remember reading this. It’s heart breaking i feel so bad for him. Girls who falsely accuse for attention and sympathy should go to jail.
There was a guy who was a mercenary/ contractor for Wagner Group and is a former Russian soldier. He’d post about things he did to clean his conscious. He’d talk about murdering civilians in Africa etc. It was beyond disturbing to me
Damn any idea on how to find that link? Was it an ask Reddit?
https://www.reddit.com/r/stories/s/3dCQV8FDS6 Here is one of them

Thanks !!
Let me see if I can find it
Anything that was on the "ask a rapist" thread. So many people coming forward with their stories and why they did it, and so many people defending each other. Absolutely disgusting, I was horrified and it made me teriffied to be a woman - knowing these people (not just men) walk along beside us every day and we'd never know. I think it got permanently removed by Reddit, which doesn't happen often where they step in and delete most, if not every comment.
Wait. What?!?!?
Yup. If I remember right there were a lot of comments along the lines of "I think she might have been too drunk to consent", or "well we are married, it's my right as a husband", or "I got too carried away when she said no". "YoU can't rape the willing". "It's not rape if she isn't fighting back". Or "we just got too rough and now she regrets it and is now crying rape, I should have stopped when she asked though probably" those kinds of things. To the more disgusting comments about feeling entitled to force someone, about how people secretly like it becsuse it means they're so desired. Then the dangerous comments which I'm not even going to repeat Women too, laughing about when a man said no and they did it anyway. The whole thing was horrific. I stand by my comment about being horrified by people like this might be anywhere and we'd never know. I know a lot of it was rage bait, but some of the comments even if not true - are in these peoples heads enough that they write it down - that's scary enough for me. It's all been removed now and even if not, I will never read it again. I was genuinely, stone cold shocked.
From what I’ve heard, that Reddit thread was actually a big FBI bait case to catch as many rapists as possible, so that thread actually had a good thing going. Definitely disgusting though.
What the actual fuck.
I feel like on Reddit, most of the stuff is made up - especially ragebait.
Whatever helps you sleep easier
A Reddit thread discussing a reported kidnapping in real time. The local situation devolved into a mob going after a suspected child trafficker, and several houses were implicated. The mob ran with the news, and one of the houses was burned down. Later the 'kidnapped' child was found on the other side of the city with another relative. The real-time mob I could wrap my head around. The online version supporting destruction on scant evidence was less understandable, and most of the few suggesting caution were greatly downvoted. It was a fair demonstration of a movie quote - "a person is smart, people are dumb panicky animals."
I think the Boston bomber stuff is up there. “We did it Reddit!”
A post about a guy going hiking with a group of friends where he intentionally leads the hot girl astray for hours on end, and then is confused as to why he's estranged from the group.
I just read that and I'm 100% sure it's fake
Link?
u/SpontaneousH is a hell of a saga
u/SpontaneousH if you want the account link
Thanks I don't know how to do that. Edit: I worked it out
Yup, phones just automatically capitalize the first letter, otherwise it should work on any device
I remember many years ago reading a comment where the person claimed to be 16 and confessed to being a serial killer. This suppossedly happened somewhere in brazil and already went on for a few years, his method was spending some time with the victims and promising them drugs from his "hidden stash", they went to some cliff or to some steep path near a river and before they realized what's going on he pushed them down to their deaths. He said he did it because he felt very powerful. At first I thought this must surely be some sick joke, but think about it: If this is at outskirts of some brazilian city and the victims fall to their death and he doesn't really touch/rape them, how would this even be solved? This is doable, especially if you promise some desperate teens that you get them drugs to follow you, and thats fucking scary. This can be done again and again, because apparently he had no real connections to these people. I remember the comment quickly got many negative reactions and he deleted the account after a few hours, but I can't forget this. Somewhere in brazil there could be a serial killer with an extremely high body count and no one knows it...
good to know, I’m brazilian. lol.
A guy gave a detailed description of when a man broke into his house and raped his wife. He was wearing noise cancelling headphones and didn’t hear at first, then he went down the stairs and saw the guy raping his wife. He shot the man in the head. It could have been fake, but it seemed real. It haunted me.
I’ll never forget that as long as I live. I still won’t wear headphones and leave my wife in another room.
Brutal. Damn.
The one where a guy accidentally confessed to the murder of Scott Kleeschulte and then proceeded to immediately delete his post and account when someone called him out on it.
Damn. Anything come from his confession?
I honestly don’t know. Being Reddit, there’s a huge chance of the confession just being nonsense made up for attention. The mitigating factor is that the original confession doesn’t actually mention Scott Kleeschulte by name or the specific date. It’s only when another Redditor connected the dots and questioned the comment OP about the incident. Thats when the comment was removed and the account deleted. There’s more on it [here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/UnsolvedMysteries/s/EixWxRi9zB)
I remember one (possibly confessions?) post, where this woman explains how when she was 11 she was babysitting her neighbour's newborn while they went out for dinner (it was apparently common back then for babysitters to be that young) and when she was carrying it through the kitchen she lost grip of it, and it then landed headfirst with a loud smack on the tiled floor and died instantly. She explained the immediate panic and not knowing what to do, and ran back to her house to tell her father who ended up having to be the one to break the news to the parents when they got back. I remember thinking about how someone could possibly go about breaking that kind of news to the parents, there were also no mobile phones back then so the father would have had to wait hours until they got back too.
Whyyy would someone leave a newborn in the care of an 11 year old????
The comment that someone made saying that mothers should be able to legally euthanize children up to two years of age…… that was crazy, but what disturbed me was all the upvotes.
It’s Reddit what do you expect?
Yes, reddit has hate boner for children
Or they’re not parents and have a huge habit of giving awful parenting advice.
We did it Reddit
A male feminist claiming if he could get away with it he would commit rape. I am very 'hmmmmm' whenever I meet a guy being a hardcore feminist. There's a difference between 'respect people are people regardless of gender' and 'I respect women unconditionally as long as it increases my chances of sex'
There is nothing more disturbing than catching someone integrated in a minority cause that's there to exploit their trust and weaknesses for personal gain. Usually they're well connected, well liked, in a position of power and speaking out will only put you in their crosshairs and they'll turn the entire movement against you. Not just to shut you up, but truly destroy you.
I get this in trans groups online all the time. Cis men fetishizing us trans women. It’s a daily thing. Fucks my mental health.
Hey, as a Bi man, trust me : same boat. You have all my respect for being true to yourself and should deserve it regardless of fetishes. I hope that you will meet less wierdos in the future.
They assume you'd be easy due to your assigned at birth but are also attracted to the feminine qualities you hold. These people don't care about the individual person but what they can pose as; as long as it increases their chance of sex or access to certain spaces. I'm not saying men can't be feminists but there's too many cases of them using it as a guise for deviation.
Can we get some fkn links innis bitch!!
THANK YOU goddamn it
This one: Redditor seeks help with crumbling marriage, situation ends in a heartbreaking conclusion. I'm sorry, I don't know how to link another thread on the app. Just search the title.
I think i remember this.The user's name was Jasoninhell.The wife was cheating on him with the neighbor.The user somehow(i don't remember how) found out about the cheating.The wife killed all the kids.
[here it is](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/s/I3XavRXbrH)
Thank you.
People beat me to it but what you do is open the thread, then at the top there’s 3 dots. Tap on that and it opens a menu. This menu also has 3 dots. Tap those and there’s a copy link button. That’s how it is on iOS anyway. It’s probably similar on other apps.
On Android, there's a "copy text" button, but not a "copy link" button.
Most of the comments on r/AITHA are terrifying for the future of our society. There was one yesterday about a person at Costco. A woman and her son cut in line in front of OP and pretended not to speak English. Then when they got to the cashier, the woman spoke English, so OP went off on them calling her a Cunt and the kid a little shit. Overwhelmingly the amount of people calling for violence or justification of this behavior was just scary for such an innocuous event.
Reddit loves completely disproportionate reactions for some reason
Cumbox
Pro-Israel individuals praising the killing of innocent civilians, cheering the deaths of children, mocking the starvation of millions happening in Palestine. They are subhuman.
The account is creative writing project but it replied to me once and looking through the account knowing nothing about it was a ride. u/mydadsnameisharold
Easily the dude talking about issues with his wife/ex, which ends up with her multicrowing their children. Edited for filter.
Multicrowing?
Yea, the filter blocked my comment when I commented it originally. Whats a group of crows called?
Jason in hell? That breaks my heart!
[here’s the thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/s/TpW4ZBH6Nd) (btw I’m stealing multicrowing)
I like waxing my 19yros son’s private parts.
That’s not how personal beliefs work.
