anything qanon related will make your brain implode faster than a carbon fiber pressure hull at 12k feet.

Yeah, I'm all for conspiracies and many have been proven true over time. Q is a whole different world.
I want the return of fun conspiracy theories.
Bigfoot. Aliens. Secret government weapon projects.
That would be nice.

Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill JFK, his head just kind of did that sometimes.
Please elaborate. I'm veeeeery interested.
Me too. WE DEMAND ANSWERS!
Tor. A serious study of as many .onion sites as I could find. There are many reasons why people want to be anonymous. I don't know why, I just felt compelled to look at the edges of humanity.
Back in the early 2000s, I heard tell of Freenet, thought it sounded like a cool project, and started poking around there. I soon determined that a lot of the material being exchanged there was not anything I wanted anywhere near my disk, even encrypted. Deleted it pretty darn quick.
this would actually be pretty interesting. any details?
Drug dealers, arms dealers, hit men, conspiracy theorists with apparent mental health issues, child porn. I was at least somewhat amused until the last, then it was like, "Yeah no, I'm done with this" All you need is a copy of TAILS.
yeah, ouch. my condolences to your humanity. :-(
If there is a credible global survey of .onion sites available (with content statistics), I would definitely be interested in it.
I am not aware of any such.
Linux distros
Are you talking about Hannah Montana Linux, Ubuntu Satanic Edition, or Justin Bieber Linux?
Don't forget Red Star Linux!
After those, the only logical destination is TempleOS
oh, boy! that one is a mind melter alright.
One time I had a weird skin thing and was trying to look up whether I should be worried about it, and stumbled onto a bunch of shit about Morgellons Disease, in which people think they have fibers or parasites growing out of their skin.
I just had a weird ingrown hair.
Oh man I went down the morgellons rabbit hole once. Super disturbing stuff
Tulpas. People basically intentionally making themselves schizophrenic
There's way more to schizophrenia than just seeing something that's not there, though.
I actually think the idea of forming a character in your head that talks to you "autonomously" (not under conscious control) is kind of interesting, but people take it very seriously and think that tulpas are spiritual beings or deserve human rights. It's an fascinating community.
In trying to prove to a friend that fluoride in the water wasn't bad, I had to dig into the conspiracy to refute each point.
Did your research end up changing your friend's mind?
Not OP, but take a wild guess
He did conceded on some the absolutely bat shit claims but couldn't bring himself to fully believe the fluoride shouldn't be in the water.

Anytime you feel sick and google the symptoms...
Eugenia Cooney, YouTuber and streamer who seems to be dying of anorexia. There's more disturbing shit such as her weird relationship with her mom and the way she seems to pander to anorexia fetishists.
Cicada 3301. It was a mysterious ARG made by an anonymous group over a decade ago that, to this day, has never been solved. I was intrigued at how little we know about the group behind it and wondered if we'd ever receive a message back from them again.
stinkymeat.net
I can't recall the creepiest, so here's a kinda eerie website I found called Terminal 00:
www(dot)angusnicneven(dot)com
It's not necessarily super disturbing, but it has a design that is a bit eerie and trippy, to me at least.
I had head phones and as soon as I read "I will make you listen" and noticed there was a lot to scroll down to, I closed the page. Eff that lol
Learning about Ricardo Lopez, BjΓΆrk's stalker from the late 90's. Very disturbing.
Not a rabbit hole per-se, but I've found at least three accounts of different people suffering some kind of dementia. One of them in particular was actively deteriorating and was paranoid that she was suffering Lyme disease. She wasn't; she was losing her mind and it was obvious from her post history. So sad.
Start to program.
Was diggin' "the mud flood" and "tartarians", but the "hole in the head of the sphynx" is what had the most impact. Every mainstream documentary 'bout the sphynx in gizeh, doesn't speak about nor gives an aerial shot, where the entries are shown. Guess the egyptian gatekeepers around "Zahi Hawass" hide a bunch of (good & bad) stuff from the ancients, like the vatican.

I2P network. It's full of awful things.
Is it like the dark areas of the Tor network?
Yes.
It's mostly drugs bro, and dread. Not that bad
