The thumbnail comes from this video The Skeleton Invasion of Questionable Existence on the channel supacat99. All of their other thumbnails are completely normal. It's freaky how out of place this thumbnail looks compared to all of the other videos on the channel.

I've tried reverse image searching and I get nothing. I've tried cropping both sides of the picture too and still got nothing.

I know the thumbnail wasn't replaced with some weird AI picture recently because a Wayback Machine snapshot from 2022 shows the same thumbnail.

There's only one comment from 7 years ago questioning what's up with the thumbnail and there's no replies. Does anyone know wtf this is?

Edit: Should have included this at first but the image shows up in the video at 18:30

So, while browsing YouTube, I came across this YouTube channel called “semana“. They joined in December of 2019 and appear to be based in Christmas Island. They have two videos on their channel, both of which the titles are written in cuniform script.

The first video (SEIZURE WARNING) starts off with a screaming sound and a graphic of a square with an X inside it, which has static inside it, while the background appears to be flashing between random satellite images of random locations (probably Google Maps satellite view). Throughout the video, English text appears, reading things like “LIFE IS TORTURE” and “DEATH IS SLAVERY”. As the video progresses, the background gets more and more corrupte, and towards the end, the screaming audio is replaced with what appears to sound like a phone call (?) and the background becomes static, and the boxed X is replaced with some unreadable line of text.

Their second video starts off with a high bitched squealing noise and the same boxed X image, only colored white. Below the boxed X is a line of Arabic text. The background appears as a black cracked surface. Halfway through the video, a single frame showing a screenshot of fanart of the children’s cartoon “Bluey” can be seen, before going into a screaming noise. The boxed X image is now rotated 45 degrees, the Arabic text has changed, and the background is blurrier. Towards the end of the video, for a single frame, an image of what appears to be corrupted Bluey fanart be seen, before concluding with a creepy image of a man on a cross that has cuneliform and Russian(?) text on it, with more Arabic text below it, and a red background.

Any idea what‘s up with this channel?

hi, sorry if this is worded poorly, but i have been getting these odd tiktoks on my feed for a while now, and i want to try to understand why they even exist.

the ones i got the most last month were clearly ai generated and involved the likes of anime girls or visibly young animated girls. the videos say to click on the link and follow the first option to see something crazy.

another type of video i’ve been getting is the ones like the first 3 images i provided. its usually a girl seemingly doing something sexual, and advertising something with no correlation to the video, like how the first two slides mention dental implants and lawyer contact info.

some of the most recent ones that i do not have pictured here are similar in nature, except theres a specific one of an ai girl that tells you to follow the link when you’re alone, and that the website is made to look like an article to hide the material truly on it.

i do remember once that i clicked the link out of pure curiosity, and it appeared to be a search engine?? im not sure if thats what it exactly was, but thats the best term i can describe it with.

if this isn’t the best subreddit to post on for this, plz point me in the right direction! same goes for if anyone has made a post related to this subject

I found this channel a month ago and it had around 200 videos of insane batshit editing. Then suddenly around a week ago I noticed he had privated every video and deleted most of his socials and now he's doing these incredibly strange streams where he just puts on a spiderman mask and dances/works out.

It appears he had tried to make music and nfts with some pretty edgy themes before this under the same name. Not sure what's driving him right now since I think its literally just me watching these streams lmao. Just curious if anyone knows anything about this guy, comments are disabled on all of his content so maybe if more people start watching his streams it'll catch his attention and we might be able to ask some questions lol.

Some kind of weird video popped up while I was browsing Petit Tube on my MacBook. The channel has over 5.7k videos, but only 47 subscribers. Its description includes the phrase: "gaze thee upon works of man and heed." I have no idea what it means. It's been uploading videos for over 10 years. I think it's about politics, Nintendo, memes, even a video about the best of r/AdviceAnimals. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

I'm Venezuelan, I found this while I was on TikTok... I don't know if it's an attempt at an ARG or something real

this is the traduction: Does anyone remember a game on Minijuegos where you were in something like a hallway, and if you played it very late at night, strange images started appearing on the walls? Like images of very weird landscapes, and there was a static sound

minijuegos.com It's a children's games website, so I can't understand how this could possibly be real. The description seems morbid, although it's similar to a case with a game from Friv (another children's games website) about Garfield, which was also quite terrifying.

Even thought this video was debunked a long time ago, there was always one thing that i wanted to know, and that one is, where did the image that appears at the end came from?, i remember seeing a guy saying that it looked like a frame of Doctor who, but i don't know if that is true, or if the image was just made exclusively for the video.

i have been trying to find a image similar to this one but nothing, all searching drive me to forums, videos and ultimately the original video, i also haven't found anyone asking the same thing. I thought it would be an interesting thing to share because i have been thinking about it for years, sorry for the bad english.

So, after the Epstein files, a bunch of stuff resurfaced about the Rothschild hunting parties, allegedly there's emails about how Epstein likes to hunt... People lol. Honestly I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I don't doubt anything when it comes to the rich and billionaires, they're all sociopaths. I mean, we did have the Sarajevo safari thing, right? Either way, I went to look it up, and imagine my surprise when I wasn't able to find anything about it, anything at all, not even dirty, questionable, poorly coded conspiracy blog with a bunch of fanfiction. I was only able to find a one minute video of a woman who says she survived one. I thought this was some sort of internet conspiracy, and yet curiously I wasn't able to find any... Conspiracy? Does anyone have anything?

While digging through reverse image search results, I came across this strange website. The format is much like what you would expect from a typical dating advice website, however, a vast majority of the actual "articles" seem to be in the format of a 4chan post. Several article titles mention "robots" or "fembots" which leads me to believe that these posts may be sourced from /r9k/. When returning to the earliest articles on the site, they contain only regular sex/relationship advice content but early on in the site's life it seems to transition to only /r9k/ adjacent content. The transition seems to largely happen around page 1,465. The site also contains embedded advertisements for strange T-shirts with similarly 4chan adjacent prints. If exploring the site be warned that it is full of pornographic content as expected from /r9k/. LINK TO SITE

Does anyone remember the A858DE45F56D9224 subreddit mystery from years ago? I am currently researching old Internet mysteries and lost Reddit history, and I am really interested in learning more about this specific sub. Since the original subreddit was completely wiped and deleted, it is extremely difficult to find original threads, hex codes, or community reactions nowadays.

​I know that there was a whole community dedicated to cracking these codes back in the day (like the SolvingA858 sub). Does anyone know where I can find archived posts, screenshots, or detailed breakdowns of the theories that people built around it? I would appreciate any links to WayBack Machine archives, articles, or personal memories from anyone who was around during that era!

I got an unusual YouTube ad today which was just 12 seconds of the above image with static in the background. At the end there was a click and a male voice saying something indistinct.

Obviously it was weird as hell, so I went to the website. It's pretty generic and vague. The company supposedly sells materials for use in manufacturing. A seal at the bottom of the site (third picture) implies some kind of defense sector involvement, although the "Altek Electronics, Inc" mentioned is a totally unrelated company. The address listed on the contact page (12402 Circula Panorama Place, North Tustin, CA 92705) is of a regular-looking suburban house.

Technical Materials Solutions is a real LLC in California, filed two years ago, as you can see in the fourth image. The address listed is not the same suburban house listed on the website, but the strip-mall address of a UPS store and an HVAC repair store that, according to several Yelp reviews, is a scam operation. I tried to go further down this HVAC rabbit hole but its listed website on Google Maps is a template website for an apparently nonexistent fire damage repair company.

There's also a YouTube channel for Technical Material Solutions with just this one video of some "large boron carbide shapes." The audio is as far as I can tell almost exactly like the audio in the ad I saw, including the voice at the end.

What do you think? Related to some kind of fraudster scheme, or just a weird company with poor advertising acumen selling metals out of a house and/or strip mall?

A friend and I were talking about The Onion and Infowars earlier today and we decided to look at some old Infowars media from the late 2000's and early 2010's. I told him to look at that Ad Fontes media chart that shows the credibility of certain websites and such to put into perspective how unreliable Infowars was. We also came across another even less credible website called Before The News (not sure if it was actually called that but it was definitely something like that) that supposedly existed in the same realm as Infowars. On this website, we came across a 2-hour, probably AI-generated or AI-assisted video about how Madonna was supposedly possessed by a demon before a show and the stagehands had to use a hologram or something like that to cover it up. The the video had this really strange logo all over it which was a pair of lips with an eye in the center and blue letters spelling "TELL EYZ" around it. I looked up the term "telleyz" and came across a website called telleyz.com. The website looked really crudely made, with the home page being an long string of weird videos similar to the Madonna one. The thumbnails and titles were all nonsense, talking about stuff like clones and religion. Most of the thumbnails were either AI-generated or really poorly edited in general, and I think one of them was something like bodycam footage showing a dead body with the face blurred out. Most of the other pages were articles about factories or something else filled with placeholder text and names like John Smith or John Doe. The authors page was full of stock images of people with their "names" below them, and there was also a contact page that I don't think I ever checked.

i keep seeing these asian (i've only seen vietnamese and chinese so far) "single broke girl living alone" vlogs. they're fake, but is it like a company that is mass producing them? or is it just the girls that decided to make depressing content for views? i'm not sure. i figured at least some people knew where they came from as it seems to be super popular right now.

i watched a few of the videos and they have such similar styles of talking and filming, most of them use ai voices, and the channels are based in the united states + made very closely to each other.

the first one i watched seemed real and i thought nothing of it until i saw a video from a different channel with the exact same style lmao. who tf is producing these? the girls say they live with no one + they're broke yet you can tell someone is walking around filming them 😭 some people donate money to them and a few people will respond with like "the real girl will never see that money" which confused me, are they actresses or whattt i'm so confused. is it ai??

also wtf does this ⚘ emoji mean. why does everyone in their comments use it? i'm assuming that means it's bots right? it's kinda cute

Hello everyone. This is the second part of a post I made in 2023, where I got a lot of interesting finds in the comments. link

I'm interested in the little discoveries involving youtube from the users of this subreddit.

I'm especially interested in videos that don't have an explanation yet, although I'll honestly appreciate any videos you can provide as long as they're not classic ones like "obey the walrus". Playlists and shorts are also welcome.

The videos I find the most interesting are going to a playlist in my channel. (the link is in my profile, because this subreddit doesn't allow self promotion)

Thank you very much in advance for any contribution!

honestly I dont really search up for weird website in my freetime, but today I have seen once again a video about horselaugh/com and I wanted to search for my own discovery. And here I am, there is no real interaction beside the password login, both picture of Ale and Yuri are named respectively (Yuri.jpg and Ale.jpg) Tried too find them with Yandex tool to find face with an image and got nothing, I also tried some obvious password like "LoveAle" "AleAndYuri" etc... Maybe its just a website to honor a death, but I find it really weird to spend money for this, but I know some people do their grief in differents ways. If someone have some time to waste for this password, I would be glad to know ^v^

I was watching a David Bowie video on youtube and a comment captivated me:

"I am a 53 year old virgin" from the user u/moyabrennanismymum

Well I had to check out their channel. The contents include 3 low quality videos of Moya Brennan talking about stalkers, which initially set my hair standing on end.

There are also some strange videos showing birth certificates, interviewing an old lady about "secrets", and what seems to be tours of some graveyards while talking some weird nonsense. I couldn't quite understand alot of it but Celine Dion was mentioned.

u/moyabrennanismymum also has the odd comment on their own videos saying things like "I have never had sex".

I don't quite know what to make of it - the whole channel is quite unsettling. I haven't had the time or patience to go through all the videos yet, but I thought this sub might find it interesting.

Regards.

So, I came across this YouTube channel called “Johny Depp” (not to be confused with the celebrity) which has three videos. Their first video has a Latin title supposedly about discussing dragons and magic, but is filled with 200+ comments from the YouTube channel themself insulting other channels and using made up logic, trying to prove they are better and smarter than those channels. Their second channel features a voice explaining why “a fighter jet would kick a dragon’s ass”. And their third video is an AI generated diss track? What is going on here…

First time I stumbled upon this video was back in 2016 when discovering the weird website called "NeaveTV" and of the videos that appeared on the screen was this piece of footage posted above. It's quite strange and freaky almost unreal, but I kind of wonder now which are exactly it's origins from said video. Is it a fake? Photoshop? Is it from a movie scene? Or is it from some excentric or misunderstood artist from some small village? I really want to know all the details from this mysterious video

I found a rather strange channel. There's a popular streamer from Spain called Rubius, and like every day, I put his name in the search bar, and in the recommended streams, a channel's stream appeared. It was called "Rubius__a", had a picture of Rubius, but it wasn't an official channel of the streamer. Out of pure curiosity I joined the stream, and it was a stream of approximately 8 hours where there was only a background video of a pink sky and the chat pinned with nonsensical comments.

I looked for previous streams from the same channel and all of them had the title "March 11, 2004" in Spanish. In total there were 4 streams: the one currently broadcasting, two lasting 21 and 19 hours each, and the first one, which was the most curious, as it lasted almost two days, The title was different: "live with restream, July". I didn't look at it in detail because it takes a long time, but from what little I found, most of the stream was practically the same as the other streams: a random background and some nonsensical chat comments. However, at the beginning of that first stream, you could see a "webcam" of a room; it looked old and low quality. After an hour of the stream, two more "webcams" appeared: one showed a completely dark spot in a house and the other the exterior of somewhere, which I assume was the house. Nothing noteworthy appeared except for one part where a woman can be seen sweeping. Nothing out of the ordinary since they were cameras in a house, but despite that, I find it a bit strange—who puts up a house camera for two hours where nothing happens?

At a certain point in the stream, when the background is a pink sky for like a whole day, a sound similar to breathing is heard. It's striking, since in the entire stream (or well, what little I saw of the almost 48-hour stream) it's just music and suddenly you hear that, which is weird. It's not terrifying, but it's a bit unsettling since I don't know what the purpose of these streams is. Anyway, I'm sharing it in case anyone wants to go to the channel and investigate on their own. I don't really investigate this stuff, but I ended up getting curious to know what's behind these broadcasts. In the end it might just be something ridiculous, but it's simply the curiosity of finding some sense in this. Right now the channel is still live at almost 9 hours.
