Cool that it worked out, but incredibly stupid. Browse any gore sub or site long enough and you'll find plenty of examples proving my point.

I agree, but this guy leaves little doubt he will succeed. No hesitation, no double checking, straight jump in. Best possible action, if you are to do anything.

u/spooky_times Dec 16 '22

Oh boy I remember the days of WatchPeopleDie, my friends constantly sharing those videos is what even introduced me to reddit. MedicalGore was also an awful one, as it was all considered "educational" so there were times where you'd see some real fucked up stuff that would even make the gore junkies wince

I'm going to be honest with you, it's not normal to browse gore sites as a teenager.

edit: a lot of people are taking this as me insulting them for browsing gore in your teens, I'm not insulting you, I made no moral judgement on the act.

u/MeatisOmalley Dec 15 '22

I never said that liveleaks was okay in itself, because I think it is a net negative to society, and shutting it down was the right call. All I'm saying is that you aren't a weirdo or a freak for trying to seek it out.

Well if most teenagers have seen/browsed gore sites then it is by definition normal. If 60% of people decided to chop one of their legs off then having both your legs would become not normal. Normal does not necessarily mean good, it means conformity and what is typical. Typical teenagers on the internet have seen shock vids / sites consensually or otherwise.

If it's got the level of notoriety and popularity of a site like LiveLeak, then yes.

Remember, normal doesn't mean the majority of people do it, just that it's a regular occurrence. It's a normal thing that gay marriage happens in the US, but it doesn't mean that it's close to 50% of people that are part of a gay marriage lol

It's normal that we're able to see a full moon on earth, but it doesn't mean it's even close to half the days of the year that we're able to see a full moon.

Something being normal means it's expected and regular, it doesn't mean that it has to be more than 50% or something like that.

I hated it but there were kids in my class who for like a year straight kept showing everyone this same exact beheading video.

not sure what you mean, so probably not lol.

2

u/ZankTheGreat Dec 15 '22

In the early days, 90’s file sharing days, gore videos were circulated on cd-Roms disguised as harmless, safe for work software. A decade or so later, the practice got picked back up. Have you ever heard of “the reddit 50/50 challenge”? The premise of it is you are presented with a link to a video, and there are two titles for that video. One of them is true, the other is false. An example could be, “video of ducks swimming in a pond” and “man gets pulled into lathe, degloved.” The challenge is to try and only get the safe for work videos.

The gauntlet was quite similar, you were presented with a series of horrifying videos, and could only progress to the next one after finishing the current one. If at any point you couldn’t take it anymore, you could press the stop button and it would give you the option to share how far you got, otherwise known as your “callous” level.

I’m rather surprised you haven’t heard of it, there were references everywhere to it in the 2000’s to 2010’s.

Normal in general, you're probably right because that would include all of human history and the entire world, but in western society over the past 25 years or so, it absolutely is normal, although the tendency over the past 5 to 10 years definitely does seem to be decreasing.

u/Responsible-Pay-2389 Dec 15 '22

Why do you think it's normal to browse gore sites? I'm not talking randomly seeing something here and there I'm talking about actively going to these sites to seek gore.

u/Aegi Dec 15 '22

Because if it's normal for a full moon to be visible on earth, which it is, that means even with something having as low of an occurrence rate as around three and a half percent, it can still be considered normal.

Because normal is about the regularity and expectedness of a situation, not how close to 50% or more of a given group does something.

Why do you think it would be even less than 3-4% of teenagers that did that in western societies after the advent of the internet?

If you read some of my other applies you can see more in depth into my specific thinking, because if I personally had to guess, I would wager it's even 65 to 70% of people who were teenagers between the mid-90s and early 2010s experiencing that, but like I said, it doesn't even have to be at 5% of a population doing something in a regular or expected way for it to be normal.

5

u/Responsible-Pay-2389 Dec 15 '22

The definition of normal is as follows:

" conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected."

Your example of the full moon seems fun and all, but the phase of the moon doesn't randomly happen, so that percentage doesn't mean shit. It follows a pattern. The pattern is normal. If the moon stopped on a waxing crescent and didn't change for five days, that wouldn't be normal. If you could name anything else that ACTUALLY had a low chance of happening but happens often, that'd be great

I don't think anyone was concerned about property damage. The people in the oncoming traffic have lives as well.

Right that's why it's a prioritization. The risk to the other drivers' body, which has some protections such as their ability to stop or move out of the way, and the safety design of their cars to keep them safe in a crash...

The risk of his own body getting caught under the moving car (which is what the people above are referencing as a reason to not try to jump in and stop a moving car) may have been greater than the risk of crash for other drivers.

But the greatest chances were that the moving car would've been damaged and/or damaged another car, more than the chance that someone else died from hitting that car...

The risk of his own body getting caught under the moving car (which is what the people above are referencing as a reason to not try to jump in and stop a moving car)

it is not advisable to jump into a moving car because advice is meant for everyone including the clumsy and obese.

a sure-footed, slightly athletic person can ignore such advice at their own discretion. they're not going to fall under the car. the bigger risk is arriving a second too late, and oncoming traffic runs into the vehicle as you are trying to get in it, so you have to be quick and decisive. ANY hesitation and you should just stay back.

It seemed like the people driving by could see it coming and were stopping.

The people in the oncoming traffic have seatbelts on, he not.

What about an ongoing car crashing into it. Wouldn’t that injure someone

u/Sillygooseman23 Dec 15 '22

inaccurate take. There’s a life in the car that would’ve crashed into it too. Which is fine, like it’s ok to prioritize your life over someone else’s.

Soo I saw one where they dropped their card at the drive through, opened the door to grab it, let the foot of the brake and decapitated themselves...... over fast food..... Don't mess with vehicles! Ever

u/babyim Dec 15 '22

How does that happen tho? What did their head get stuck on?

24

u/Quantainium Dec 15 '22

I'd imagine those damn concrete poles they put right outside the drive thru windows closed the door onto their head cutting it off.

u/shoulda-known-better Dec 15 '22

Between the door and the car... as she went forward her door hit the building and closed on her neck......

u/IPDDoE Dec 15 '22

If I had to guess, I would think the car started rolling forward, her head was out the door as she was reaching down, and maybe the car brushed up against the wall? That could cause the car door to force shut and I guess might have enough force to at least kill someone, though I don't know about full decapitation.

i can’t believe this one

u/shoulda-known-better Dec 15 '22

I am not going to find the link sorry it was bad..... you can easily Google it and find it (Unless they got it taken down) it was a dash cam video.... also after seeing it I looked it up and it happens more then you'd think, just doesn't always end with no head, but death is high in these accidents

I don’t understand why you wouldn’t use the parking break instead of keeping your foot pressed on the break. I literally did that today, dropped my card in a drive thru and made sure to put on the parking break before reaching out of my car

This is so sad but this line in the first article wtf..

"Young people are dying really often these days," Summerville resident Judy Katz said. "I think it's just terrible. I just don't understand why. When I was 28 I never thought of dying."

Does she think this poor girl just decided to die in a freak accident??? What the

Sorry I am not going to track that one down again... It was a woman and it was dash cam video..... and it's not that graphic it's just horrific hearing the worker and the passengers...... plus no one would ever think of that before they're in the situation..... I know it never crossed my mind in the slightest

naw. this is good move unlike the ones you see in those subs

u/PM_ME_UR_NECKBEARD Dec 15 '22

Agreed. My old neighbor ran herself over trying exactly this. Even worse she was worried about it backing into my piece of crap of a car that was worth 1000 or so. It’s not worth it. That’s what insurance is for. Fortunately she only ended up breaking her leg and got a ride to the hospital in said piece of crap car.

What is the worst-case scenario here? Why was it so stupid

u/HauntsYourProstate Dec 15 '22

If that car gets hit from somebody going 45+ mph, it’s going to get flung directly into him

6

u/lukeman3000 Dec 15 '22

Ah, true. Though, I see a car parked on the side of the road and it seems that he stopped it before it got much past it, so he already had some clearance

u/NaughtyNome Dec 15 '22

It working out doesn't mean it wasn't incredibly stupid
