    There was a Mexican cartel video of a guy they had killed and peeled his face off so it was just bare skull.

    As the video continues, the guy rolls over and you see his bare eyeballs moving around… Still alive.

    That fucked me up pretty bad, then he reaches up to touch his face & they’d cut off his hands…

    I’m never going to Mexico.

      As somebody who goes to Juarez several times per week and has also traveled extensively throughout Mexico, cartel violence typically does not reach the average tourist, just like how people who go to New York are unlikely to actually see the mob. I have experienced more hassle from police than gangs, and even that is usually a cursory questioning and pocket check for drugs.

      15 years ago, there were some cities that were in the middle of organized crime wars, and sometimes things spilled over into public where civilians could get hurt. This created a lot of heat for the cartels, and more recently they have mostly been operating under the radar or in remote neighborhoods again.

      The bigger risk than violence is kidnapping, but even that doesn’t tend to get aimed at the tourist population due to the international backlash it would cause.

      If you keep your wits about you, travel in Ubers that you order rather than unmarked cabs, and don’t except drinks from strangers, then Mexico can be a wonderful adventure. The Mexican people have been mostly extremely good to me, and I refuse to cut them off as dangerous just because the news tries to tell me so.

        That was my thought process as I was watching it. The mutilated “corpse” was a pretty fucked up thing to do, then the reveal that he was alive made it so much worse than it already was.

    There is a lot of horrifying content out there. Videos of people brutally murdering others are probably among the top imo.

    Something that I had a hard time physically looking at was I once stumbled across a man who appeared to be having some sort of psychotic episode. He filmed himself trying to pull a microchip out of his eye. He kept picking at it and gouging it with his bare hands. I don’t understand how he was able to do that without screaming in pain. Hope the poor man got better after but who knows what happened.

    Edit: And before anyone attempts to ask…no I don’t have a link. LiveLeak was where I had seen a lot of things and it doesn’t exist anymore. I’m sure there are a myriad of other sites out there if you’re morbidly curious. Just don’t go asking me for references. Like others said…for many people it can end up messing them up. Don’t show anything to anyone else. If you are curious and you think you can handle it, then that’s on you. But don’t make anyone else see it even if they say they are ok with it.

    as far as most disturbing thing to watch, probably the self-immolation of aaron bushnell back in february. i generally avoid the more messed up infamous internet stuff.

    eta: more disturbing, but not quite as punchy due to not being a video, was a post i saw once about a young lady who picked at her legs so much, that they had to be removed. there was a lot of pictures. she eventually dug a hole straight through them.

    Any type of NSFL content mentionned could be a very bad thing for anyone involved.

    I get that you are curious and that’s fine but it could cause more harm than you might imagine.

      Yeah. Made the mistake of mentioning some of the really messed up stuff I saw to my 2nd youngest sibling when they were 12 and claimed that they’d seen everything on the internet.
      They refused to get into the bath for 2 months and cloth washed at the sink…

        Those that think they’ve seen it all and think they’re “immune” or used to it make the dangerous mistake of sometimes searching for NSFL content that are sometimes mentionned on those types of questions just to test themselves.

        I’ve seen a lot, way too much for my own good, it is never a good idea to search something like that up.

        Truly hope your sibling as well as yourself aren’t too scared of what it was you saw. Some of the content seen can sometime leave pretty heavy or permanent marks.

          Oh, it definitely made it’s mark on my psyche. This was over a decade ago, almost 2 now. Younger sib is pushing 30, and never claimed to have seen the whole internet again. And I’m a moderately adjusted adult.

    Not on internet but real life. My mother took a pair of scissors, cut from her vagina to her navel then started going sideways releasing bowel in the process.

    I watched faces of death when I was younger and I saw a hostage situation somewhere in south east Asia. Hostages were getting pulled out of the building on the tail end of the operation.

    Mixed in must have a hostile because the security forces shot a guy with shotguns at short range.

    It’s like his whole chest and back opened up like a book.

    I don’t seek out gore like I used to. No ukraine war footage, no cartel videos. None of that. I know worse is out there just by hearing about it 2nd hand. (Like the infamous funky town video)

    The worst of the worst gets on the internet. Even here on Lemmy I’ve seen trolls post brutal videos of murder and torture every once in a while. That kind of stuff lives on niche channels and overflows to the mainstream every once in a while.

    In the early internet I once saw a cute young woman in athletic gear (Adidas I think) walking in a park, then stepping on top of a bench. Then starts pulling down her pants and begins to squat. The camera zooms at her cute bottom, then like 15 seconds later a long column of poop starts flowing, and keeps flowing, pauses, and keeps flowing and flowing to make an impossible small mountain of poop. She then grabs a few napkins from somewhere and wipes, then pulls up her pants up her bottom and simply walks away, leaving behind a gross mound of human waste for someone else to clean up.
