Frank's story brings a new meaning to the title of this thread

Since the gate has been opened I'll take the opportunity to share the wiki page of one of the most ****ed up human beings I ever read about, Peter Scully, an aussie paedo that ran a hurtcore site on the deep web where he sold videos of kids bein raped and tortured, including one of an 18 month old girl. He's serving life in prison in the Philippines.

Sorry about that. Here's some eyebleach:

I was in the Philippines when he was captured, it was pretty wild. The entire country was outraged and it was the only thing people were talking about. His girlfriend was arrested as well, and was running a blog from where she was imprisoned. There was a lot of discussion on whether she was truly remorseful, if she had been groomed etc.

Then one day she lost it, all of the hate and being imprisoned got to her and she somehow accessed the videos and released them publicly with a caption along the lines of "Watch these and tell me you aren't aroused."

I literally had to explain to Filipino friends to please not send me child porn or snuff videos, I was already sharing their outrage without seeing the videos. People were just uploading them publicly to facebook or sending clips on messaging apps.

Some interesting rabbit holes if you're into your Dan Brown kinda thing.

One that stood out - The Holy Foreskin

Pocho (around 1950–1960, Reventazón River, Costa Rica – 12 October 2011 in Siquirres, Costa Rica) was an American crocodile who gained international attention for his emotional friendship and relationship of over 20 years with Gilberto "Chito" Shedden, a local fisherman.

Shakespeare authorship question

Theories that the plays attributed to William Shakespeare were actually written by someone else.

Your dog ran off in pursuit of a coyote. Don't worry. He can find his way home, even if he takes a circuitous route and even if you just moved to a new area that is unfamiliar to the dog. Why? Because his brain is hard-wired for the mammalian form of dead reckoning.

Path integration

Interesting. Now I understand why no one has ever lost a dog.

people don't lose dogs, dogs choose to quit people

OK, that is super cool.

The section citing notable examples, in particular, veritably illustrates a common theme in this marvellous thread; utterly despicable ‘human’ behaviour. People (even the Dutch!) suck.

Her first of 6 husband's was a prominent fascist in Autria-Hungary who lived a wild life himself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanatarash

"Hanatarashi (ハナタラシ), meaning "sniveler" or "snot-nosed" in Japanese, was a noise band created by later Boredoms frontman Yamantaka Eye and featured Zeni Geva guitarist Mitsuru Tabata. "

"Hanatarash was notorious for their dangerous live shows. Some of the band's most infamous shows included Eye cutting a dead cat in half with a machete, strapping a circular saw to his back and almost cutting his leg off, and destroying part of a venue with a backhoe bulldozer by driving it through the back wall and onto the stage.[2]

At a 1985 show in Tokyo's Superloft, the audience were required to fill out forms due to the possibility of harm caused by the show. The show was stopped due to Eye preparing to throw a lit molotov cocktail onto the stage. "

Here's a short doc on them. Mostly pictures, no real video of the incidents.
