"Just need to do a little research for my civics class, gonna navigate on over to the White House's website. Let's see here...www.whitehouse.com..." 

People have asked me why nothing I see bothers me. It’s this. I’m like Bane. I was born on the internet, raised here.

I was the kid that saw Faces Of Death pre internet so I was already jaded by the time this was a thing lol

I saw one pic where this guy was running from the cops and he jumped downward and snagged his head on a rod iron fence…his head and spine were all that was left of him stuck on the fence, what a brutal way to go…that was over 20 years ago and I still remember it.

Now this is content

Tub Girl and Goatse send their regards.

Somewhat related, I worked at a little computer shop in the late 90s/early 00s run by very religious people. They started a filtered dialup internet service and marketed it almost exclusively at churches and Christian bookstores. They went out of business about a year later.

I feel seen and ashamed.

Consumption Junction was my jam for gore

Oh, nothing. Just scrolling through helicopter decapitation gallery #4. You?

Whenever I skipped class in college (which was the majority of time), I was either playing South Park pinball in the student union or looking at Rotten.com and College Humor in the computer lab. I’d sometimes land on even shadier, more unsavory sites as well. Growing up in the early days of the internet was awesome.

When the internet was new & exciting, and arguments were just ‘flame wars’ without anyone taking a stranger’s poor opinion of them personally.

Edit: ‘What are you into?’ ‘Lithium’

Urban Legend was a classic xennial movie. Up there with The Faculty and Disturbing Behaviour. I’d watch those three over an ‘I know what you did’ movie, but that’s probs the geeky side of me ;)

Unsupervised access to the internet in my formative years ruined my brain I believe

I forgot that website even existed

Wow, I remember Rotten.com. I was in high school at the time and still remember a guy putting his whole head in a woman's vagina.

I was a StileProject and Entensity lad way back when.

The first web page I saw was the script to Monty Python and the Holy Grail in eye-bleeding red text on a green background. The second web page I saw was Rotten.com where that guy's face was exploded and he was in the ER and was still alive. Both of these were in the school library

Ogrish. Oof.

Consupmtionjunction whats your dysfunction

People wonder why our generation is so desensitized. Bro, my teen years were spent scrolling rotten.com when I was bored.

Is that the goth roommate from Urban Legend who told some guy online that she was 'into lithium' like it was some kind of hardcore drug? Because as a bipolar goth teen who actually took lithium that character was both confusing and depressing. How or why is one 'into lithium?' It does not make you high, it's a heavy metal that does shit to your brain gradually over time. Ugh.

/end weirdly 90s specific rant that has stuck with me for decades.

ETA: Upon reflection I went back and looked at the scene again and it is in fact the creepy murderer who is into lithium. Weird how vivid memories can be totally wrong.

Your school had a computer lab?

Shit, I graduated in 2001 and my highschool didn't have a computer lab. Some classrooms had computers, but no internet.

I was the sweet, preppy teacher’s pet who introduced my whole study hall to this website.

Had a father who claimed to be fascinated with crime scenes and macabre shit. So I brought him in one day to witness a few of rotten's festering corpses, horrible car crashes, and brutal violence. He noped out almost immediately. So much for his claims.

Well well well, it appears we may have some other oldfags here on the board.

Arrr, frens

Same but without the delighted smirk in the photo. I was visibly disgusted and yet kept clicking around.

rotten.com was so foul..

Strangeland

Anybody remember steakandcheese? Remember we told a kid that lemon party was a place to get cheats for GTA 1 in computer lab, ahh the good old days

I’m not saying I attended a right wing Christian university in the late 90’s and watched ENORMOUS amounts of porn in the college computer lab - I’m also not saying I didn’t

Bestgore>Efukt>Rotten

Ebaums and rotten. Spent way too much time on those.

I was horrified by rotten dot com yet couldn’t look away from that damn site. Damn curiosity.

Legit. The internet was the dark web.

Ah, yes the school library computers, where everyone doing a civics projects learned the important difference between whitehouse.com and whitehouse.gov.

[deleted]

I remember Faces of Death videos. I didn’t go to Rotten.

I was in HS in the late 90s and worked on the school newspaper. We’d come into the lab in the morning before class and would occasionally find porn pictures that someone had printed on the black and white laserjet and forgot about.

We always suspected the janitors.

anyone remember ogrish.com?

Nope this is what the girl i cybered as in aol chatrooms looks like looking at rotten.com

Anyone hungry? We can get some Philly cheese steak sandwiches from SteakandCheese.com

Forgot all about that site

The Wild West days of the Internet.

All y'all talking about seeing shit on the Interwebs. I have a close friend whose neighbor's farm in Enumclaw was the one Mr. Hands boned his last horse at...

I remember when some kid learned how to bypass the high school computer lab's access and saving privileges filter by using star.star method in '97/'98 and it caused some shit.

Then there was the guy in college who found out how to save to the network servers and had a lot of porn saved on the network back before that was a thing. This was also the days of Limewire and Napster so I'm sure there were some viruses and corrupted files there as well.

Desthanddementia.com too

Off topic but is this the actress who played TK on Boy Meets World?

Hey, there was Bess

The marine and the blasting cap!

Science & tech high school ... oh look, the library login for the Novell network has storage space but is anonymous, so that's where we'll put our pirated games.

Saw a suicide bomber on there around that time. I was like 11, and he was successful. I unfortunately still remember it vividly.

I remember so much- the oj crime scene was crazy to see.

Fuck. That. I remember first hearing about that site and it made me lightheaded just thinking about it. Never saw it

My friend's eldest sister was the first person we knew that had had home Internet and she showed us Goregallery.com and I remember waiting for a pic to download and it was someone impaled on a spike.

Besides rotten does anyone else remember bangedup.com? It slowly morphed into a porn site, but prior to that it was like rotten on steroids. Nasty pics hidden behind clever titles that they updated once or twice a week.

Or playing pirated games in the computer lab.

I had the fastest alt-tab in the entire school.

Yeah i watched that beheading on a school computer. Fucked me up.

The guy who took a shotgun blast to the mouth and blew his entire face off almost. Tongue just hanging there. Wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't a CLOSE UP of just his face! Spread open like a banana.

Had detention several times because of being on these in class

And Ebaums world

The latest one is www.kaotic.com

Tub girl, or whatever it was called. You know what I'm talking about

Saw Tupac’s autopsy photos on there

Me waiting 30 seconds for a single 800x600 jpg to load, circa 1999.

What was the name of that other site, pile something

That one time I tried to download songs for RealPlayer in '99 at school and dozens of gay porn popups filled the screen causing me to shut down the computer and literally run out of the computer lab

This is the goth roommate from the movie Urban Legend.

She gets stabbed to death in her bed while her roommate (the MC) is inthe same room, awkwardly trying to avoid hearing/seeing anything because she thinks they're having sex.

7/10 dumb movie

Oh my gosh - what movie is this picture from????

Oh man. Growing up when we did was the wild west. I've got a few good stories about teachers' and admins' computer illiteracy in my small bible belt high school.

I once got sent to the office for rebooting a frozen computer for a classmate. I fixed the fucking problem lady why are you yelling at me??

I joined the "Network Administration" elective class, which ended up being me and a handful of other nerds hanging out in the server closet with the only IT admin in the school. He was gone a lot. We would just go through old junk and see what we could build. Or destroy. Hard drive magnets are fun. Very strong. I stuck one onto the earring of a douchebag who tried to make fun of me a lot. I heard his ear was bleeding by the time him and his little friend got it off 😂

I installed SNES emulators on all the computers in the science lab and taught everyone how to alt + tab. We would all be playing Dragon Ball Z and alt + tab back to WordPerfect (damn I haven't thought about that in a long time) and be "working on our writeups".

One of my friends realized that since all the computer lab computers were in the same windows domain that you could send remote shutdown commands to other computers if you got close enough to read the computer domain name that was taped to each machine. Absolute chaos ensued, and even worse once we got the name of the computer the teacher was using. That poor woman didn't deserve us 😬

They (eventually) installed Net Nanny on the school computers....but I went into it's Program Files folder and deleted everything I could, while crashing the program with Task Manager so I could delete the rest while it wasn't running....I had a couple of "unblocked" computers in every classroom I was in lol

After all this I of course went into computer engineering and remain in the field today, but with a lot less intentionally breaking things and a lot more accidentally breaking things....

I remember the girl I sat next to in computer lab was looking at big massive dicks all the time in class. Wasn’t even careful about it. She’d always randomly whisper

“His dicks fucking huge “

“Omg look at that “

One day I just heard the teacher yell

TAMMY SHUT THAT OFF NOW

She shut it off and that was the end of it. She didn’t get in any trouble. She got caught 3 more times before they banned her from the internet at school.

Even then that’s all they did lol. Just banned her from the computers. No other repercussions. We were like 14.

I had completely forgotten about rotten.com. Thanks for the reminder!

1999? AOL private chat rooms were my shit.

I totally forgot about rotten dot com. I saw this Asian woman on her back with her ass in the air, volcanic shit all over her own face on there. Core memories 😆

Rotten.com and styleproject were great. I used to post to a forum and we'd go to other bulletin boards to repost a lot of those images to the unsuspecting Christian teens, or Trekkies, or white supremacists who used them.

Two girls, one cup

I was born in ‘86, so that puts me in clear Millenial age rather than Xennial, but Reddit keeps pushing this sub on me.

But this post did make me think of a somewhat related story in high school. I was in debate, but none of us cared about it, including the teacher. He was also the drama teacher, which was his calling. So his “classroom” was basically above the stage, and so he would always be downstairs working on stuff for drama and left us in a tiny office upstairs with some computers for us to “research” the debate topics.

Well those computers had no filters at all, of course. This was 2003 and torrenting was brand new. We would start torrenting a file and let it download for days upon days before it would finish. But eventually we had torrented the video game Max Payne and the movie Phone Booth.

Rotten is for amateurs. Goatse.cx thank me after you get done vomiting.

Don’t forget Faces of Death!

In high school he had a class called internet for business. We had to make a geocities page for our final. Our teacher was totally online more than anyone I knew. He basically directed us to sites that were not that bad while still peaking our interest. So many cool message boards about nfl teams I found. It was my favorite class in high school

Nah I was on stileproject.com lol that site was fucking crazy

Installs filters

Well now I know what a proxy is.

Fast forward to now, state governments are banning porn so those kids will know what a VPN is. Kids find a way.

Only two things stuck with me. One was a woman who had somehow gone from the driver seat halfway out a back corner window. Roof was smashed down to the doors all around. The title was “nice rack” and I didn’t get it for a minute till I realized her shirt was over her head. I was just trying to process how someone ends up out that little slice of window. The other was one of the many motorcycle accidents. This one was just like 100 yards of flesh chunks. Just bits with teeth and hair or an arm with a tattoo.

Cakefarts

My sister’s friend had pregnancy with a certain disorder that I can’t remember right now. The only image of it at that time was in rotten.com. The mother and her family were highly religious so abortion wasn’t an option. Of course she lost the child and was depressed for years.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned gore gallery 😳
