Those of you with young children: as a former college prof and a parent myself, here’s my unsolicited advice: know your children. Closely watch their emotional development and behavior. Create open, nonjudgmental, safe, relationships, where they feel secure in the knowledge they can come talk to you about anything. Because in our world today, there’s no real way to prevent them from seeing horrible images and video before they’re able to process it.

I’m very grateful that the Internet didn’t exist when I was a child (not that the videos described are any easier to process as an adult, but still)...and I’m sitting here, wondering how much of the anxiety disorders, depression, and lack of resilience and compassion that I see in our society is linked to what I’m reading here. It’s really frightening to ponder, especially as this Reddit question, with over 7,000 comments, is only the tiniest tip of the iceberg. Buy it:  Perfect Make America Skate Again Shirt

So...I’m 56 yo and have never stumbled into the Dark Web, thank God. I just spent more time than I should have reading about the ghastly videos that apparently thousands of you have seen, mostly by accident, and mostly when you were young children. Every single one of you noted how damaging the images and sounds were to you, and for many of you, that damage lingered. I’m especially saddened to read about those of you who were sweet innocents, just trying to have fun, who were ambushed by this unimaginable horror. Who knows how it changed you?

I once got hit with a really poorly made computer virus, it was based on team viewer by the looks of it. I got the virus from a download link but I can't remember what I was trying to download, probably some kind of audio editing program if memory serves. As soon as the download was done the virus activated and it looked like something from an old version of team viewer, the mouse started moving on it's own so my immediate reaction was to disconnect my internet cable, I then shut the virus down from task manager and converted the file to a text file. Despite having no experience with programming at the time even I could tell that it was made by a complete beginner, most of the thing was blocks of code copy pasted into it randomly and connected by a few lines of code and copious use of goto, was an absolute mess. It did get me interested in programming though so I think the experience was a net positive. Buy it:  Vip Peanuts Characters Face Mask To All The Wonderful Healthcare W...

The truly evil shit isn't even on the "internet" so to speak. Its a home run server that only a select group of people will have access to. It is invite only and no stranger is just gonna happen upon it. There was a documentary or something I watched, where a journalist was investigating this kind of stuff. Very interesting and deeply unsettling. The people he talked to dont look like the people you would expect.EDIT: I dont remember the name of the documentary, I'm sure it was on YouTube and it was a group like VICE that did it. I watched it several years ago. Probably around 2013 to 2014. Buy it:  So You Can’t Buy Happiness But You Can Marry A New Zealand Woman And That’s Kind Of The Same Thing Shirt

Dude I’m in bed and I think I have to get up to have a beer or bong rip after reading that and like meditate or watch something calming. I’m usually not super affected by gore and shit like this because I’m into true crime and I know people are fucked up but...that was, like, really fucked up. I guess somebody needs to take these monsters to task so thank you, and drink all the wine you need.You will not find some sort of snuff porn site or l33t hacker enclave where they will trace your IP etc. The ideas people have of the dark web are usually that last bit which just isn't something you're going to find.

Reminds me of the investigators who worked the Tool Box Killers cases. One of them killed himself a few years later, and in his suicide note, he made it clear it was because he couldn’t get the one of victim’s screams out of his head (they made audio recordings of some of their tortures/murders). Yeah reading about them fucked me up for a long time. Recently I was made aware that a segment of that traumatizing audio recording is fucking available for all to hear on YouTube... like, what the fuck man???
