Tell me the most shocking or fascinating internet rabbit hole you fell down

[ItsNotAShopItsAStore]

For me recently its been two things.

First was about one aspect of the Moors Murders I didn’t know about - how the 16 year old brother in law of Myra Hindley was wrongly implicated in the murders and although it’s doubtlessly down to him that countless other children were saved, the impact of what he saw and was accused of had a horrible domino effect of his and his wife’s entire lives. I knew about the murders but I didn’t know this was a key aspect of the case.

The other was the conspiracy theories about the Princess Of Wales and seeing just how far people are going to peddle absolutely horrific lies about her, and how much doctoring of photos is being used to ‘prove’ the lies. It was really grim.

Whats one of those rabbit holes you’ve fallen down and it’s stayed with you?

Mini Manson on YouTube. For the love of God, look him up 🤣

I just did. And I used to work in one (croupier) so I knew already but just in case...

Michelle Obama is trransgender.

Sweet Fuck All is fine.

The amount of people that go missing in National Parks in the US, some of them gone in seconds and no trace ever found, even by the people who were with them when they went missing.

Google Missing 411 for some examples but it's creepy!

Would love to know more about this. ! Truly fascinating!

I used to love the show 'Ancient aliens'. They made out that that in the past mankind had to have been far more advanced than we are now due to certain things that were created.

The Nutty Putty cave,So sad. The young guy sealed there for evermore .

Having joined the thousands who also Googled, I was shocked to discover this.

Casinos Win in the Long RunGambling is designed to favor the house. Of course, you can always get lucky and land a mouthwatering jackpot. But this is the exception rather than the norm. Slots are configured to pay back a percentage of money received, called the Return to Player (RTP) rate.
If you’re playing long-term, accept that the casino will likely win, and remember that this is a form of entertainment. The average player loses more than they win.

Well who'd have thought it!!

I was referring to the city which was locked to everyone except its' inhabitants until very recently - even now, nobody outside of Russia is allowed entry unless with permission. No idea about a hotel, lol.

It's based on a massive mine and is an extremely odd place if you google it.

Claudia Lawrence.

I often think so many people are in the witness protection programme. Often you can't even tell your families due to the risk of them being hurt or finding out where you are.

Obviously no clue about Claudia but it makes you think.

It is so odd, haha. It came up in a random TikTok video - I'd never even heard of it before. All the buildings have solariums in them as the city gets so little natural light, and life expectancy is hugely reduced as they're basically sitting on some kind of toxic waste dump.

I lost a night looking up all the "Faul" stuff. It was brilliant and actually really convincing but I can't find the actual site now.

I once fell down a rabbit hole reading about dolphinariums in the UK - some of them were set up as upmarket stop tease shows with dolphins… so weird and horrible…. https://markadams.livejournal.com/16718.html?

Penlee Lifeboat. December 1981 a cargo ship get into trouble and a lifeboat was launched. All 16 people on both vessels perished. There is an excellent documentary The Cruel Sea which uses a lot of the original audio so you hear all the decisions and conversations, and there’s also a radio play/documentary with a lot of family testimonials on BBC sounds. It is incredibly moving. I also had a book about the tragedy, including a lot about the investigation afterwards.

It's 'The State of Fear' by Laura Dodsworth and I agree, it's a really interesting book.

There is a documentary about this also.

I often wonder is the Manchester pusher real and there is a serial killer in Manchester. I know a cyclist survived after a man pushed him in a canal and tried to push him back in when the cyclist tried to get out. There was a 16 year old boy Jordan Ratcliffe that has been missing since 2008 after being dropped at a hostel in Manchester City centre. Part of a canal was searched but there was no leads and the case does not get much media attention now.

I am usually reading and watching cctv footage about Unsolved disappearances late at night... I wonder why i don't sleep!

Being a transwoman loving "they just want to pee!" libfem. Then reading about Karen White being transferred to a women's prison. Getting upset, thinking about what could happen to the female prison population, with a convicted rapist in there.

Being called a transphobe by friends.
Having a nervous breakdown due to the internal conflict I was feeling.

Someone suggesting I watch Magdalen Berns on YouTube. Going down a deep rabbit hole and coming out the other side, a proud, angry amd very active terven. This was, what... 2016?

Can you name any... Satanic elites? Wondering what you found!

Surely most of the time family would know. Wouldn't most (or all of them) of them have been witnesses in trials? or what other circumstances could someone be under witness protection for?

This made me lol 😂

nutty putty was so sad
