What do you wish you never googled?

I came across a term that I very stupidly googled. It’s just vile and the mere thought of it makes me nauseous.

Have you ever googled something you wish you hadn’t?

As a result of a thread on here, Tom Jones allegations.

I always thought of him as avuncular and cheesy but now I can't bear to watch him on TV.

It's so sad that some people accused in the #MeToo era seem able to hide behind their lawyers and money while others face justice.

Actually I remember now how I cured myself

I bought some seed head pot pourri and played with it, put my fingers in the holes etc

So just normal phobia exposure

Is that for trypophobia?

I just look at the hoops and it makes
Me feel vom inside

Phrowzunn · 23/02/2020 23:38

Ohhh good work @LaurieFairyCake I’ll give it a go

JeremyCorbynsTopLip · 23/02/2020 23:42

Oh, the toybox killer 'transcript', obviously the tapes are locked away for FBI only, but the sick bastards.

AutumnRose1 · 23/02/2020 23:52

Tyrpop wotsit means I can’t look at giant crumpets

Ordinary ones are fine.

Doodlesquah1 · 23/02/2020 23:52

Junko Furuta’s murder haunts me Sad absolutely sickening and vile beyond any comprehension

LittleYorkshireLass · 23/02/2020 23:53

After watching an episode of AMBULANCE I googled de-gloving.

DO NOT GOOGLE DE-GLOVING! Shock

Krazynights34 · 23/02/2020 23:54

I’m literally loving this thread. Ice docking 😱😱🤮🤮

Lozz22 · 23/02/2020 23:56

@AvonCallingBarksdale I suffer with trypophobia. It's hideous!! Patterns and shapes made out of patterns and things with holes in them make me want to vom and that sanex advert ugh let's not even go there 🤢

Blackredblack · 23/02/2020 23:59

Some of these are truly awful. The Junko Furuta one Is beyond horrifying.

A few hours ago, the worst thing I’d googled was hot carl. I’ll have to clear my browser history after this!

Goodness I’ve looked up that murder

Def a case for capital punishment.

Krazynights34 · 24/02/2020 00:00

Jesus Christ has take it back.. two girl’s one cup.
Finally, I am shocked.
And I think I will go vomit

Abelino · 24/02/2020 00:01

I eat crumpets upside down thanks to trypophobia.

Pomfluff · 24/02/2020 00:06

1 man 1 jar
(you have been warned)

Blackredblack · 24/02/2020 00:09

How do you know you have tryphophobia? I’ve just googled images and I didn’t feel anything. Will I awake in the morning unable to eat onion rings?!

I was looking online for a picture of a small Dutch boy with a finger in a hole in a big dam holding back the North Sea, as a metaphor for a problem I was doing a work presentation on. Can I just say googling “finger in the dyke” did not get me the picture I was looking for.

MummytoCSJH · 24/02/2020 00:17

I kind of want to know what most of these are but I'm scared Grin

The Junko Faruta case scarred me for life and I'm studying forensics so I've got a pretty good tolerance for things like that Sad please heed the warning and DON'T DO IT!

MummytoCSJH · 24/02/2020 00:18

That was meant to be ' I'm scared Grin '

SisyphusLangClegRocks · 24/02/2020 00:21

Trypophobia. Also jiggers Confused

PenguinsOnParade · 24/02/2020 00:49

I've been googling away with ones I hadn't heard (or had forgotten about) as I've been reading along and the degloving one made me feel rather queasy.

Cleveland Steamer is another one along the same lines as Hot Carl. I once googled it after it was mentioned on Family Guy. Regretted it after although I don't think it's as bad as some of the others mentioned here now!

Foslady · 24/02/2020 07:52

When I started the job I had now it involves making flavoured powders. I wondered what the various components tasted like so started googling each one with the works taste after it.
Do not do this on a works computer with the word bromalane.......

LameSword · 24/02/2020 09:07

I once read somewhere on one of those 'things you should never Google' articles about a Japanese porn/snuff film called 'Tumbling Doll of Flesh' and it haunted me for a long time. It's not real (I had to Google it to reassure myself) but it's apparently very graphic. I never watched the film but reading the plot was horrific enough Sad

Blackredblack · 24/02/2020 09:56

@Pomfluff that is horrific 🤮

@BecauseReasons I had tonsil stones - they are as bad as pictures online. At least with pictures you don't get the smell. OMG the smell of them when I managed to pop one out of my tonsil made me gag.
