Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the Internet….
I am Rebecca Felgate ……
I am Danny Burke, and today we are talking about the Top 10 Scary Things You Should Never
Google
Glad you are here Danny, because I feel a bit stressed out about scary things…
What is the scariest thing you have ever googled?
Honestly, I have included all of them on this list….I don’t want people to make the
same mistakes I have
Before we get into this list, why dont you guys let us know what is the worst thing you
have ever seen on the internet, it doesn’t have to be scary.
Jiggers And finally at number 1 we have Jiggers.
Thats the name of a parasite that is found in most tropical countries - they measure
only 1mm in size but this is the damage they can cause.
The tiny flea burrows into exposed skin on peoples feet.
They then stay there for two weeks laying eggs and causing the feet to swell.
The condition is called Tungiasis and to many it looks like a normal blister with a central
black dot - the dot is actually the end of the flea sticking out so it can breathe.
If left untreated it can lead to serious infections and loss of toenails.
The good news - if there is any - is that they can be easily stopped in their tracks
by physically removing them.
The bad news is that you cant do that if they get somewhere inaccessible.
Levison Wood is a British adventurer who went to Rwanada.
While there, a jigger laid its eggs underneath his toe nail - he had to cut the end of the
toe off with a razor blade in order to stop it.
I cant even continue with this.
I just wish Id finished on the good news instead.
How to get on to the Dark Web I feel like you absolutely should not mess
with the dark web at all costs, it is just too risky.
The dark web is called the dark web for a reason; it is filled with dark people.
People who use the dark web tend to use it for illicit goings on like drugs deals or
the hiring of assassins.
Now, I have never been on the dark web, the closest I have ever got is 4Chan.
I have to take it from those who have visited that it isn't a nice place.
According to articles on various national news publications, the dark web is a place
where you can access murder live streams...which...well...I would really rather not.
Luckily you can’t just stumble on to the dark web, you need to access it via a torrent.
However if you are really intent on getting there it is possible...but is it worth it.
Best case scenario, you just kind of scare yourself, medium case scenario, you unleash
a horrible virus on your computer and worst case….well… you don’t want the dark
web to actively come and find you, but it might.
Simulation Argument Moving on to number we have The Simulation
Argument.
Earlier on I talked about something that can make you physically hurt you but this one
may hurt you mentally.
To put it simply, a number of physicists and other intellectuals have proposed a theory
that all of reality, the earth, our galaxy, the entire universe - is actually an artificial
simulation.
Essentially, its a logic argument.
There are 3 scenarios that could unfold for humanity … a) our species dies out before
developing advanced technology b) we live enough to develop advanced technology, but
creating a computer simulation of an entire universe is impossible or c) we actually simulate
an entire universe in the future.
Lets say you believe humans can live long enough to create advanced technology - OK
so that rules out option A. Lets say that it is possible with enough power and technology
to create a simulated universe, identical in every way to our own - OK so that rules
out option B. That leaves us with option C - humans do end up simulating an entire universe,
identical to their own - perhaps to study how their ancestors behaved.
Now the question is - do you think we are the real universe?
Is it going to be our descendants to create these millions and billions of universe simulations?
Or do you think we are living in one of those simulations that the real humans and real
universe created?
There could be billions or trillions of those - but only one real one - which do you think
is more likely that we live in?
Ill just leave that one with you because my heads starting to hurt a little bit ...
Spontaneous Combustion Like, you are just living your life and you
catch fire, burn and die?!
This is one extra thing that I just don’t need to worry about.
Spontaneous Human Combustion is a rare phenomenon where living or recently deceased human catches
fire without an apparent source of ignition.
YES this would be an extremely inappropriate time for R KELLY’s Ignition Remix to pop
into your head… anyway...combustion.
A light level of research tells me that spontaneous combustion really isn’t very common, although
it does happen, also reading the characteristic notes on wikipedia made me want to be sick...so,
I’ll spare you the gorey details as to what goes down.
Spontaneous Human Combustion is also closely related to a bizarre medical syndrome called
Steven Johnson Syndrome, this is a skin condition that is characterized by severe burns and
blisters...and trust me you don’t want to see that either.
Calculus Bridge Next up now at number we have a Calculus Bridge.
This might sound like a creepy old bridge but its much worse.
Brace yourself - this is Calculus Bridge - how bad does that look.
I feel so bad for the people who have this - but what exactly is it?
Essentially, its a build up of tartar - the yellowish deposit of minerals that forms on
the tooths surface as a result of pre existing plaque that has hardened.
It can happen in just a few weeks.
Eventually, the plaque develops into calculus when the constant accumulation of moderals
from saliva adheres itself to the plaque.
Once this Calculus Bridge forms - it can be painful and unsightly - but theres actually
even more of a pressing conern.
Calculus is also loaded with bacteria which sits in the mouth causing a big risk of infection.
Its advised that people visit a dentist as soon as they see this forming to have it removed.
Unless its got really bad, a Dentist will usually use a routine cleaning method to remove
it.
Every time I hear about one of these horrific teeth stories, I want to go and book an appointment
with the dentist right away.
Do we have any dentists out there who want to give me a check up?
OK, Ill stop we have a video to get on with …
Flying scares me anyway, but honestly, this is truly and utterly terrifying
MH17 Aftermath Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 was shot down
on the 17th July 2014, just 4 months after Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 was lost after
taking off from Kuala Lumpa Airport, making 2014 the worst year for Aviation in ten years.
The crash of this plane was extremely high profile and so far as the current evidence
points, it was downed by a Russian Military Missile as it flew over the Ukriane.
All 283 passengers and 15 crew members on board were killed.
As I said, planes scare me, and the thought of being downed by a missile while in flight….well
that didn't even cross my mind...that is a whole new thing to worry about.
Knowing about the crash is scary enough, but you can’t really avoid the news.
You can avoid looking into what happened to plane and the people on board in the aftermath.
I don’t have many regrets in life… but googling this is one of the few I do have.
Ed Gein Leather Ed Gein was the notorious murderer who inspired
the movies Psycho and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, AKA two of the scariest movies of all time
ever… and…well…he is real.
So Gein was criminally insane but for a long time he was living without any attention directed
at him in Plainfield Winsconsin.
Gein admitted to killing two women in the mid 1950s, a pub owner and a hardware store
owner.
What he also did was dig up corpses from local graveyards…and what he did with the bodies
was a true atrocity.
After his second murder was traced back to him, police officers went to Gein’s home
and what they found is something no human wishes to see.
Not only did they find the missing womans body, decapitated in a shed, they found furniture
and household objects made of human leather.
These are some of the most terrifying things I have ever had the displeasure if seeing.
He also made human masks out of peoples skin and was thought to have worn them as he roleplayed
as a woman.
This haunts me to my very core.
Next up at number 3 we have the Body Farm.
If youve ever watched a crime show on TV, you know the bit where they analyse a body
to figure out how long the person is dead for.
That knowledge doesnt come from nowhere, it comes from places like a Body Farm.
A body farm is where people donate their bodies to science so that scientists can study how
they decompose.
The pictures youre seeing now comes from The Forensic Anthropology Centre at Texas State
University.
The information they gather here can be used in a court of law and some of the researchers
have even been called up to give evidence in murder trials.
They also specialise in facial reconstruction.
By studying how a face decomposes, they can then recreate what a decomposed face would
have looked like.
This proves invaluable in identifying unidentified murder victims.
Theyll take anyone who donates their body with just two conditions - they must weigh
under 500 pounds when they die and also not have any infectious disease such as hepatitis
C. So, if you meet those criteria and want to help fight crime in death - maybe body
farms are the way to go.
Wow - what a morbid one that was.
Hammer murderers The hammer murders of the Ukraine are a true
abomination you don’t want to know about – much less see.
I’ll give you the basics so you don’t feel like googling it…ever.
The Dnepropetrovsk maniacs are serial killers who were behind a gory spate of murders between
June and July 2007.
While they are two of the scariest people I have read about, they were just 19 when
they went on their murderous spree, which in a way makes them scarier.
Their names are Viktor Sayenko and Igor Suprunyuk and in little over three weeks they managed
to kill 21 people without order or motive – they ranged from children, to the elderly.
The pair seemed to love Nazism and bloodshed – they killed their victims with hammers
and used their blood to paint swastikas.
The diabolical duo reached new levels of depravity when they were found to have photographed
and videoed the murders, some of which have unfortunately been leaked and are searchable
on google.
I wouldn’t do it, though.
The Murder of Tim McLean Moving on now to number we have The Murder
of Tim McClean.
Even for those of you with a morbid fascination with crime might find this one a bit too much.
In 2008, a Canadian called Tim McClean was returning home to Manitoba after working at
a fair in Alberta.
He boarded a greyhound bus - after 7 hours the bus picked up a new passenger, Vince Weiguang
Li.
The 40 year old Chinese Canadian man was described as having a shaved head and wearing sunglasses.
Originally he sat near the front of the bus but then moved further back to sit next to
Tim.
By this point, Tim fell asleep against the window with headphones covering his ears.
Soon after, Li produced a large knife and began stabbing Tim in the neck and chest.
The bus driver pulled to the side of the road so that he and other passenger could get off.
Then, Li decapitated Tim and displayed his severed head to the other passengers standing
outside.
He then returned to the body and began cutting off parts of it and eating them.
Police arrived on the scene and entered into a tense standoff with Li for 4 and a half
hours until Li tried to escape by breaking through a window.
He was tased, handcuffed and arrested.
Parts of the body were retrieved from the bus while his ear, nose and tongue were found
in Lis pockets.
He was found to be mentally unstable and was found not criminally responsible for the murder
and was remanded to a high security mental health facility in Manitoba.
He was eventually released in May 8th 2015.
On July 9th 2018, Greyhound Canada announced they would end virtually all services across
Canada.
Many speculate that the drop in ridershop was a knock on effect from the murder of Tim
McClean …
Alright guys, thanks so much for joining us on this gross journey - we searched for all
of this so you don't have to - shall we do a part 2 Rebecca?
