Goatse, lemonparty, meatspin, earrape jumpscare YouTube videos, liveleaks.

A cutesy, if formulaic 1980s synthpop song is how you apologize.

    I’ll never forget the video of the man, I think he was a journalist, being beheaded that was used everywhere for a minute.

    I never got the lemon party one. “Oh no, old man sex? How terrible!” Unless I bore witness to dismemberment, irl vore, or extremely violent sexual or psychological perversion, it rarely stuck with me.

    This sounds like someone with internet experience.

    Imagine seeing it without that much exposure to other things and potentially at a young age.

    “This is terrible. Someday my ballsack will be 3 feet long. I can’t bear the weight of that knowledge.”

    I dunno, I understood fellatio and homosexuality at a young age, during a fairly homophobic time. I imagine it wouldn’t have bothered me immensely. Maybe I would have asked my parents and been beaten for it, but I’d remember the beating more than the old men.

    But the video of someone nailing their penis to a board, or the vagina cactus clips would have fucked me up. God forbid I watched the mantis video or 2 guys 1 hammer.

    It was an earlier time and being gay was a lot less okay.

    I mean it's the same with shit like meatspin. It's w/e, just some penis, but back then showing someone something gay? waow what a funny prank, ewww I don't wanna see something gay.

    Small reminder of how far we've come. Or rather, how far we haven't, since I imagine people would have the same reaction today.

    The current sanitized internet of "unalive", "f*ck", etc. would shit bricks if exposed to all of the heinous shit of yestercentury

    Lemon party, meatspin, various numbers of girls and cups, tubgirl and goatse. Links and emails and timed redirects. Any way someone could think of to get others to look at something they'd been tricked into seeing.

    The children of today have no idea of the scars we bear.

    I've made an edited version

    Rickrolling is an audiovisual Bel Air. Someone ropes you in with a fascinating shaggy-dog story that finds a natural way to mention one little fight where their mom got scared, and then transition to the theme from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I recently found out there was a melodramatic reboot of that show. I don't think they used Will Smith's original theme song, even though that's a major factor in his career, with music royalties ultimately paying him more than the residuals for starring in the show. That's why he insisted on tie-in songs for all of his movies. People joke about that for Men In Black in 1997 and Wild Wild West in 1999, but a little-known fact is that when the Wachowskis approached him in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell and he plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.

  • I used to load the receiver part of goatse for any site that deep linked to my site. Fun times.

    The concept behind rickrolling afaik is that certain people cannot be upset by extreme violence and the grotesque, but as an alternative method you can inflict psychic damage on those same people with cheesy love songs

    The amount of times I've been redirected to a Google search for blue waffle is uncountable.

    Goatse was just a right of fucking passage in warly internet days.
