The stomach-turning online world of ‘popping’ We examine an online subculture forming around the world's worst boils, zits, recluse spider bites, and exotic skin conditions. Disgusting images ahead!

8 insane Tumblr moments that went down in history Tumblr was a hotbed of weirdos and insanity. Let's look at the stuff that made even its own userbase go WTF.

The wacky gay world of extreme bodybuilding Would you eat monkey brains?
Let’s take a deep dive into the fascinating world of bodybuilding, which is a lot gorier, and gayer, than we originally suspected. Acne in weird places When you’re pumping your body with steroids (here’s a useful reference) to gain unnaturally large muscles, you’re also sacrificing your physiology to the whims of chemical reactions. One common reaction resulting from the use of steroids is acne. Some bodybuilders even get cyst-like swellings on their feet and crotch from steroid use. Another common place for steroid induced acne is on your back, known as “bacne.” Steroid acne has almost the same symptoms as typical acne. But with steroid acne, systemic steroid use is…

Enter the dominion of The Beast: The mysterious allure of Aleister Crowley Described by some as "the wickedest man in the world," this satanist led quite the colorful life.
Before Dos Equis gave us “the most interesting man in the world,” there was occultist Aleister Crowley.

Crowley’s mythic persona influenced rock legends Led Zeppelin and Ozzy Osbourne, and still continues to fascinate the world as a mystifying counterculture figure, years after his death. Born to break boundaries Edward Alexander Crowley was born on October 12, 1875, to a wealthy fundamentalist Christian family. Edward was fascinated by Western esotericism and the occult at a young age, and in 1898 he joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.…

Wherever there are hints of sexual tension in a book, movie or television show, there will always be shippers. They can be described as uber-fans who pair or ‘ship’ two fictional characters together in a romantic relationship, and then obsess over that mental image becoming a reality.
