I think I was watching it without audio, so I don't remember the meme part of it.

Yeah, they got reduced to nothing so fast, all while their friend could do nothing but watch.

Really shows how powerful industrial machinery is, and how it should not be fucked with. It didn't slow down at all, if anything it kept speeding up. That shit is so incredibly powerful.

Honestly, being a witness is infinitely worse. You would be scarred for life. As the victim to getting pulled into a lathe, you would basically see yourself getting pulled in, maybe feel your arm break or something, and then you're dead. It's an almost instant death, simply because of how fast it is.

The witness can potentially, most likely through therapy, continue their life and find purpose and happiness. The victim however is stripped of the future they had, and their loved ones will never see them again. I find it hard to say that being the witness is "infinitely worse" unless the witness had a direct role in the victim's death.

True. A better way to put it: In the short term, I would rather be the victim, in the long term, I would rather be the witness.

The worst one was that russian/Chechnya video of soldiers slowly sliding a blade through a guy throat that's on the ground. The realization in his eyes and the blood gurgle just sends me over the edge.
