ok so

i forgot my hulu password so i’ve been watching these random bobs burger red post videos from this account called New cartoon Bd and after finishing one of the videos this weird clip of a dude watching a cartoon of bloody animals. it reminds me of those creepy elsa videos that were popular for a sec. but if anybody knows what the hell this is from i would love to know bc it kind of freaked me out.

So I've been interested in various ARGs and other wierd sites recently, such as LHOHQ, and I've ended up stumbling upon this wierd site, Hekate Station. I've searched it up, not much information, the site looks very eerie and after clicking through it a while it tried to dowload this zip file, I panicked a bit and decided to cancel the dowload. I've searched it on reddit and nothing apart from I think a very old post and a subreddit, with no information but passwords. Even on YouTube I heard about it only at the end of one of blameitonjorje's videos, no more mentions, I don't think. So can someone explain the meaning of this site, is it an ARG? A rabbit hole?

It takes a while to get to, but this lolcow ends up eating a pizza with a bunch of random ingredients for toppings.

Nearly gagged a few times sitting through it

There was a very strange and weird virtual reality experience launched by Chick-Fil-A back in 2017, specifically Q1 2017. The experience was made to expand their "eat mor chikin'" cow campaigns into virtual reality, and I actually got to experience this strange site a little while after its launch.

The site I am talking about is called "cowzVR".

Chick-Fil-A was looking for ways to further expand the cow campaigns, and so they worked with Working Not Working to create a virtual reality experience to further expand their message to "eat mor chikin'". It was a very strange experience.

The site was apparently teased beforehand in Febrary of that year with a commercial with the iconic cows wearing virtual reality headsets and looking around at presumably the experience that would later launch a few days later on that same month of that year. Of course, these were high-quality VR headsets solely used for the commercial and wouldn't actually be given away to or used by the public (unless people spent a lot of money on the actual headset used in the ad).

The cryptic messaging ran deep before the site launched. The cowzVR site was first brought online with the previously mentioned commercial, and at the time, the site contained nothing but a stock image with a countdown in the center. The commercial was also considered cryptic as well, and Chick-Fil-A was acting cryptic on Twitter as well, along with its dedicated Twitter account for the cowz. And not too long later, Chick-Fil-A started giving away free cardboard cowzVR headsets at participating locations to gear up for the launch of the site.

Finally, in February of 2017, cowzvr.com would finally officially launch to the public. The experience was really strange and sent viewers through different types of sports with the message from the cowz mainly being front and center. Various activities like skiing, racing, and skydiving are shown with the cowz actively participating in them as well. The site would not last long, however, as the site would be eventually closed for good sometime in 2019 as Chick-Fil-A would pull the plugs on the site, making the experience completely impossible to view or experience for yourself.

Well, during the first few months of the experience being live, I first discovered it and was very intrigued and interested in whatever this was. I clicked the button, and the experience played. While I was very immersed, I found the cowzVR experience to be very strange and weird, and even to this day the site still leaves me with more questions than answers, even if the site has long since shut down. Why were the cowz able to skydive? How did they know how to ski? It's a very puzzling experience that left me feeling confused after my first viewing.

But nonetheless, I did enjoy it and decided to record my whole experience with cowzVR. The archive of the experience has been up on YouTube since April 18th of 2017, a little while after the site's public launch. This video is one of the only ways you will still be able to experience cowzVR in its true form. A little while after the site closed down for good, I also noticed that the Internet Archive saved a full version of the original 360-degree experience (the URL in the highlighted text doesn't work as of right now), and there is a very mysterious YouTube channel called CowzVR who also uploaded the full 360 degree experience. It nearly became lost entirely had it not been for me, the Internet Archive, and this strange but graceful YouTube channel uploading footage (as well as the original 360-degree cowzVR video) to YouTube. We saved it from the brink of extinction.

So, it's a Channel called' Cook with Me' - But their videos are like, less than a minute long, sometimes only 10 seconds, which don't seem to show you how to cook, just showing stylised videos of whatever food is mentioned. They've uploaded like 30 videos in the past day. The channel was made in February and more than 400 videos have been uploaded. Most dont have any views, and the descriptions seem to be the same, just saying 'Соединенные Штаты Америки' as a hyperlink to a YouTube search of the same phrase, which according to Google Translates says United States of America.

​

I assume this might be some AI auto-generated thing, I just... can't see why? The only thing that comes to mind is that it's trying to farm ad revenue through sheer number of videos alone? But the most popular video appears to only have 830 views.

I was browsing YouTube and came across a song in my recommended. It had a cute dog as the thumbnail. I thought it would be some bubbly upbeat lo-fi music, but it was just super uncanny.

Song in question X

I then decided to google the name and found that there were TONS of songs from different channels just titled "Ling Flats The Grape" with no correlation besides them being ...

"Provided to YouTube by Dynamo Online Limited".

I did not find anything else on google and all the comments for the videos were turned off. I figured that it was a one off issue and that it was just a weird algorithm recommendation. It did not stop there.

This is a song named
Ch Imal Pass Th Yleeprosal -- X
It shows a picture of Robert Downey Jr. as Santa and it seems like it was AI generated. There are countless songs all with nonsense titles and I figured someone might find it interesting.

I was looking up a definition on urban dictionary and found one that was very odd. When clicking on the profile i saw a bunch of similar odd poems, all very cryptic. They seem to be about the user's life and love, its just a weird place to express your art. Any opinions on this?

Hi there,

My GF and I stumbled across a weird website while looking for car parts, of all things. It started with this website, and things went weird because we noticed the actual article was all over the place (and ALL of the articles are all over. They seem to be copied and pasted from titles of various websites. Which started all of this searching). When clicking home or back it takes us to a different website, whose author's name we Googled because at that point we were already in too deep. Her name is Carole, who seems to also author this website. We found the authors name, Googled it and came across her Facebook and noticed a post about a new website, where in the about section we saw something that said "NeuroChangeSolutions Consultant" which was a red flag for us so we Googled that too. Which brought us to this website, talking about a Dr. Joe Dispenza. Then we saw the consultants tab which, to us, screamed MLM of some kind, noting the fact that Carole lists herself as a 'consultant'.

Dr. Joe Dispenza sounds, to us, like a scammer. Especially on his YouTube channel. Talking about solving neurological conditions with meditation.

We never actually figured out what was going on with the original website we found. Clicking other links IN the site work, but refreshing or going back take us to the Heirloom Meals site for some reason.
While we went on a very strange rabbit hole. Please don't contact or harass anyone you might find in these websites. We're not trying to be assholes, mostly just curious about the initial website and providing the larger context for what we found. The initial website is really damn weird, as I said they seem to be copied from article/TikTok titles but the actual post itself is usually very weird like "HOW TO GET A CHILD SUPPORT WARRANT LIFTED"

​

BUT having said all that the website SEEMS to work fine when using my link to the website itself. When doing a search of "cost to wrap 2016 dodge charger" (which was my original search) the website breaks for some reason, and links to Carols website 'Heirloom Meals' when going back or refreshing.

Pdf titled "The Illuminati Formula Used to Create an Undetectable Total Mind Controlled Slave" on like the 8th page of Google. I've seen weird stuff pop up if you go deep enough but nothing like this. I guess this was a book that was published in 1990s by a conspiracy theorist according to the Wikipedia about the author. It honestly feels like reading a dystopian novel at times lmao. Also generally fucked up. I think I'm done with the internet for today...

This is a playlist on youtube I found while typing in random characters into google because i was bored and I found this fucking playlist with a lot of videos of girls shitting. I have no fucking idea why this was created. I think its some sort of fetish thing. Some of these videos are really fucking funny I highly suggest looking through it.

i just don't get it. it's just a bunch of videos with the same sound effects. The comments are even weirder and doesn't make any sense at all.

Ok so I was just watching Hasan clips, as you do, when I got a really weird ad thats close to six minutes long. It's called Mother Water III, and I haven't watched the whole thing but from what I can tell its just a super strange poem. If you go to the video's description it reads the following: "Tales of Mother Water our Creator, and Creator Goddess of all life in all universes." I don't know why but a lot of his videos are flagged as for kids so there aren't any comments. He's got other videos too, but this guy's got an entire playlist titled "Mother Water Writings" with 13 videos. Some are short, some are about half an hour, and the latest video is an hour and 34 minutes long. What's also weird is that when I clicked on the playlist Mother Water I, Mother Water II, and Mother Water V all showed with a red bar on the bottom, indicating that I've watched all three of these all the way through but I know I've never seen this before. I'm pretty sure I'd remember finding weird poems about a water goddess. I don't know it just feels kinda strange, and when I came here to see if anyone else had posted about this guy I couldn't find anything. Sorry this is written so poorly, been studying all day and my brain is sufficiently fried at this point.

I don't even know where else to post this.

I have found a rabbit hole a bit too deep for me to dive into alone, this guy that usually goes by "L K Tucker" has spent years filling the web with word salads. The easiest way to find his ramblings is to go to his site or to simply punch in (with quotation marks) "Cubicle Level Protection".

The ramblings connect suicides to disasters to expeditions all back to cubicles. Cubicles are the root of all evil. I believe he also spent a long time vandalizing the wikipedia article on cubicles.

Someone, or some people have taken over the Yahoo Finance message board for Kodak and just post crazy stuff about their fictional version of Rochester where Kodak is headquartered.

Here's a random post from today ' IF YOU ASK ME, TOMMY'S VAMPIRE CHURCH IS BEING WATCHED BY THE GOVERNMENT. MY MOTHER WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FBI WHEN SHE FOUND OUT THAT TOMMY WAS THE VAMPIRE MESSIAH.'

I normally make YouTube Videos on financial history stuff but made one about this because it was just so weird. Of course you can also go straight to the source to see for your self. Normally you get the most cohesive story line from sorting the messages by Newest instead of Recent.

After hitting random keys in the youtube search bar, me and some friends found this absolutely bizarre set of youtube videos and channels.

Here are some, the top two are the first things we found, the others are random ones we eventually got to:

MKVEHD2022's 2ndC: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkL-eoueBI2j_Hr-rf1UBIg

"Plan for myself and everyone" video posted by the first channel linked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlQwHoMZvvM

"P214537V4.5GE (161)" video posted by above channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieKAB4AIUu8

Tiago Pariona Channel 2022 (the "About" tab says they are a 13 year old from Peru, so this could be a clue): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrUSErcN_EIUGXLx0gvjF9w

From what we can gather, it seems to be a group or community of people that post very chopped-up videos featuring/showcasing different video editing effects, including shifting the orientation of the video, tampering with the audio, as well as deepfaking. The videos and comments include names of and links to more and more accounts that follow the same format, of having a very long name with a string of numbers at the end. It just goes deeper and deeper the longer you keep going, we lost count on how many channels and strange videos kept coming up.

It could be related to a roblox game that some of the footage is from. The profile pictures of the channels seem to be from the same "Picrew" template. A lot of the channels claim to have been terminated and are the "new" or "2nd channel" of an older one. The string of characters "P214537V4.5GE" seem to come up a lot on some of the channels.

The "Plan for myself and everyone" video contains some kind of strange code of numbers assigned to people. There seems to be something to do with "Rounds" with videos claiming to be at a certain round? We have no idea.

Thoughts, information, and ideas/theories would be heavily appreciated. We have no idea what we've stumbled into.

EDIT: We kept going, and it would seem that this is content from something called the "Logo Editing Community" what exactly it is, or how serious it is, we don't know.

So here it goes, --I AM IN TEARS-- how absolutely CRAZY and coincidental the internet is sometimes.

​

Ok so a couple months ago I started going to a sandwich shop that recently opened and from the second I saw this one guy making my sandwich I developed a crush; totally my type and apparently looking back at our encounters, I was his too.

After I go in a couple times and he recognizes me he develops a very cute nickname if you want to call it that, for me. Every time he says it I kind of melt and get a boner; it really reveals what kind of guy he is in the sack, I've been gay long enough to know.

Last week I went in to get my usual, he usually makes it for me and when I go to pay I have a coupon from another location that totally screwed up my order for a free sandwich. He scans it, and tells me the rest of my total. They recently got a new credit card terminal that has a slot for chip cards that is not completely obvious where it goes. I didn't really have an issue finding it and paid then all he had to say was, "Oh you found the hole pretty quick" and hands me back the coupon.

I get totally jolted and trip all over my words trying to say something to the effect of they should have made it a different color or more apparent where it would go.

​

Getting to today,

I'm going to be real and say that I may or may not have an EXTENSIVE archive of Tumblr when they still hosted porn. I downloaded every single thing I ever liked for like 4 years using a tool and stored it on a server I have in my bedroom. Well I'm going through and low and behold ----------THERE HE IS---------- in one of my favorite folders. I'm not even horny anymore, I'm just absolutely flabbergasted. I can't make sense that it's actually him but as an artist, who has specialized in the nuances of a face, I can tell. Same body type, same beard, same facial features and shape and to top it all off he's wearing a hat of the state that I reside in. The house that he's in also looks to be from my area, I know the design and the age and can probably pinpoint what neighborhood he lives in- I know, super creepy, I'm just observant.

​

Que piqued interest,

A couple weeks ago I explored the power of reverse image searches. I immediately plug the picture in and find more images of him, confirming it is totally indeed of him- with higher resolutions than what I had! Now I don't know how to go about approaching the situation. Do I totally act dumb and act like I haven't seen him naked? There is no way in hell I'm ever going to be able to look at this dude the same way. Should I tell him that I think his pictures have been leaked or shoot my shot and hit on him in a discrete way?

​

All I know is I'm not going to be able to ask for extra mayonnaise without turning red, laughing and tearing up anymore.

​

In addition to all of this, I actually found a guy through a hookup app once who's video I downloaded off a major website before finding him on the app. I questioned if it was him with a link asking if it was him after chatting him up a bit, to which he openly admitted to uploading. (it was back in the day and pretty low resolution so hard to make out details)

​

The lesson to take from here:

The internet retains data for a VERY, VERY long time. If it's not being reuploaded to a thousand different sites, ----somewhere- someone has it on their local hard drive. DO NOT upload anything to anywhere or send anyone anything that you don't mind being public for the rest of your life. BONUS though if post nude pics and are ever single, you'll probably get hit on real hard by those pervs who have your pics on their hard drives.

​

​

TLDR;

found porn on my local hard drive from years ago of a guy I recently developed a crush on from a restaurant.

its changed a bunch idek what it is now it has a lot of what i think are mickey mouse references definitely not what im used to seeing on the website. There is also russian text on the home page not sure what it says,

I don't know if its my computer or what, but theres a specific channel on youtube that is super super glitchy. The channel name is Xue Yidao, and it's a basic callus/corn removal channel that uploads videos of treatment. For some reason, whenever I click on one of their videos, the entire youtube page is laggy and glitches. Switching tabs is slow, the video is at first choppy before smoothing out, and scrolling up and down lags. I thought at first it was my computer, or tabs open, but for some reason it is only for that one specific channel. I was just wondering whether it was the same for everyone else, and what is going on with it.

I know that we have all been discussing this since forever, but I noticed that there is now Russian text on the site. Does it usually change based on recent political happenings?

http://lhohq.info/

My google translate reads it as "no truth in the news and no news in the truth", which helps with the LHOHQ is an art project that builds itself upon politics and conspiracy theories to do with USA and USSR and their respective political happenings and events and relationships.

But why Russian? Has there been any instance where there were Russian - or any other language - texts on the website? And what's with the Mickey Mouse mask image?

Hello,

Saw this text appear under a few Youtube videos in the comments, and also in the comments to a Bob Marley song on this lyrics site (https://sonichits.com/video/Bob_Marley_%26_The_Wailers/Forever_Loving_Jah). Does anyone know where this is from? What is this?

Went through a series of google searches, and found a Young adult novel "I am the messenger" but this passage is nowhere in the book.

Just someone copy pasting their own writing? It sounded like sort of Tom Robbins.

Anyways, a bit of the weird. Thanks!

​

I am the messenger, and bearer of news, on a stream line of media. Furthermore the press, print, the black an white in small print, under everything. The lemon law and voice to the buyer, and sign of beware. The foresight and fortune, the insight and weather condition. I bring you the news, the music and harmony, the swing tempo and tone, broad stream. Broadcasting in sol, solar waves, wind and flares, like micro ovens I'm cooking it up, turning you on-to, an in, in to me. I raise the temperature and heat , set the time and prepare for the essence for you to eat. And I bear all you can eat, the past, present and future right before your eyes, touching your sol being, through the media line and stream of charged atomic particles in ten-ten wins over nine-one-one frequencies. I'm the four-one-one you dial and call for information, directions an emergencies. The seven eleven pit stop you gas up at and the dopamine you fill with caffeine, seven -twenty-three days and hours a week. It's where you arrive and depart in the twilight on the seven-eleven. (You see ) I spill the truth and make a living telling it, I'm rich with justice, laying it over your shoulders while you bear the guilt and weight. An I'm eye witness, morning and late night news, the twilight and channel to the after life.

Sorry if this wasn't the best subreddit to post this on, but I could find anywhere else to post something like this.

I was on the search bar of Spotify while talking to one of my cousins trying to find a song that I've been trying to search for when suddenly out of no where this very strange podcast popped up. The name of it is bugduckdadyloveshisgirlnoonebotherillPutinpiplovedady. The title immediately caught my attention and was distraught for a moment. We decided to click on it and see what it's about. The man who made this podcast is named Dan Hayslip which conducting further research found obituaries for, I was certain if this was the same man or not. Going into his profile, I saw his bio which contained a very long string of text which upon reading it is mostly gibberish. There was only one episode called, "Jhone 316" that was about 30 seconds long and also had a very long bio. The fact that the title is called Jhone 316 leads me to believe it's talking about the Christian Bible verse John 3:16 since he talks about Jesus in his nonsensical jumble of a bio. Listening to the episode gave me chills. It's basically the same thing has has bios he's spilling garbage about sex and masterbation. But just hearing the guy, the thinking process that went into this, makes me believe he has some kind of mental illness. I'm not a doctor nor do I have any medical background but, it seems to me like some kind of schizophrenia. Rather this is real or some kind of art project, this genuinely creeps me tf out.

query: the characters you type into your search bar

alphanumeric: any of the characters from A-Z, a-z, and 0-9.

There are a few ways you can get to these videos. One of them is to search a string of alphanumeric characters longer or equal to 522 characters. This is how I got here, by looking up a copypasta without spaces. If you include spaces in your query longer than 522, Google works normally.

You can also use any combination of the characters " and ., as long as it includes both characters, and nothing else.

Here is a list of characters I found to lead directly to these videos:

U+FFF0
U+FFF1
U+FFFF
U+200E

Any combination of the characters U+A9C1꧁ and U+A9C2: "꧂" also work, even if it only includes one of them. However, the query has to be longer than two characters.

Hey folks,

I got a phone call from an unknown number tonight and when I googled it, I got these strange website as a response. I didn't click on any of them but now I'm really curious as to what these are. Any thoughts?
