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!
Human beings are gross. We’re barely-functional assemblages of fluids and bones, held together by a barrier of skin that constantly struggles with an atmosphere full of pollutants. And when that delicate membrane gets irritated, things get even grosser. So gross, in fact, that the resulting video looks like something out of horror sci-fi. Welcome to the world of r/Popping, the Reddit destination for “pictures, videos, and stories about cysts and pimples.” Over 86,000 people subscribe to this Subreddit to see and share the nastiest boils, zits, recluse spider bites, and assorted skin conditions in grisly detail.

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.
It was always hard to define exactly what Tumblr was. You could write blogs on there, but it wasn’t really good for blogging. You could link up with other people like a social network, but it wasn’t really that either. It was — and is, I guess, although the latest news about the platform banning adult content seems like a nail in the coffin — something truly unique. Tumblr was founded by David Karp in 2007 as a method for people to post “tumblelogs” — essentially short-form blogs — featuring links, short paragraphs and a stream of consciousness style. It rapidly grew a wild and fractious user base, split into…

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…

Serial killers are hunted by the finest detectives and law enforcement agencies in the world, and it’s only a matter of time until a tiny error or oversight leads to the capture.

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. Described by some as “the wickedest man in the world,” a Satanist, dangerous, and subversive, Aleister Crowley led quite the colorful life. 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.…

Inside the spectacularly bizarre fan subculture of ‘shipping’ A look into the world of people who pair fictional character into romantic relationships online.
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. Many shippers draw saucy fan art, write sultry fanfic, and at times freak out when their ship doesn’t pan out. Shippers have been in the headlines in the past years for driving a few prominent creatives off social media due to shipping-related harassment. A WB exec was hounded over a Supernatural ship not happening and an artist for Steven Universe deleted her account…
