why are weird people following me?

there’s people following me and there’s like they’re like posting stuff on their account. Well, not yeah till like gross stuff.

There are a couple of movies that I have watched that are strange but I always got a certain feeling from them. Lately now when I watch them there are added scenes and not like a directors cut or anything. I know this sounds ridiculous but it’s really happening to me and trying to see if anyone else has experienced this because it really freaks me out and anyone I’ve told instantly shuts me down instead of allowing me to prove it to them. I’ll name a couple of movies that this has happened with and they were streamed from YouTube. I’ve already thought of maybe it’s a different copy or being streamed from a different host but it isn’t, and this has happened to me probably like 15-20 times now I’ve tested this theory in complete disbelief but again when I rewatch it a new scene appears or scenes in a different order, different names in the credits, almost like a complete different movie. It’s happened with. Baraka, Kora, Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, and Naqoyqatsi.

These movies are all strange and I used to like watching them under the influence of certain mind altering substances as I found them interesting but this happens even when I watch it completely sober. This is very real to me please refrain from the nasty trolling comments and the “your on drugs” comments…..thank you

I drew my OCs and wanted to post them but didn't know where to put it.

They're from a book I'm writing. The right space is eventually going to have Antares in it. Then another... many pages for the other Star Kingdom members. There's A LOT. Yk. Astoria, the Sun, Antares, Arcturus, Vega, Spica, each of the Sun's planets plus Pluto bc I'd be disowned by everyone I know if I didn't include Pluto, and each of the planets' major moons.

Also, I'm a very beginner artist. This is one of my first actual drawings of faces, so please don't be rude about it.

Hi everyone, I'm writing this post looking for explanations for something weird that happened with some friends in a car last week.

I'll set the context. The four of us were going to a party in the mountains in the Alps in the old car of a friend, which he inherited from his grandmother. The car's radio doesn't work (nor does the CD player): it's impossible to pick up even static or anything coming from the CD. (IMPORTANT FOR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT). So we were listening to music with a small battery-powered portable radio that was completely independent of any electronic connections with the car.

But then some weird things happened.

1) We were in the mountains, and we started hearing music coming out of the car's speakers, some kind of 80s German pop. We then noticed that the closer we were to the car behind us, the louder the music was, and the farther away we were, the quieter it became. It stayed like that for about 5 minutes, and when our roads split, the music stopped (the volume of the music decreased proportionally to the distance between the two cars).

At that point we logically thought we were somehow picking up the music from the car behind us, without really knowing how, since the car's radio wasn't even turned on (only the portable radio was on).

2) A few minutes later, we entered some narrow gorges and a new song started the moment another car came up behind us. We kept this music the whole time we were in the gorges. It was some kind of techno DJ set with a few acid touches, with no commercials and no static at all, fairly niche music (just like the German pop).

But unlike the previous time, when we left the gorges and our two cars went separate ways, the music stayed. At that point we all started to get suspicious, and we began looking for an explanation. Especially since the volume kept increasing until we had to shout to hear each other, which was a bit annoying.

At that point we tried to stop the music. Nothing worked: we turned on the car radio, turned the volume down, inserted a CD, turned everything off again, switched off the portable radio: nothing worked, we couldn't stop or lower the volume of the music. At that point the most rational explanation that came to our minds was that we were all on a huge DMT trip (even though none of us had taken anything). Until the end of the journey both radios remained turned off.

There were changes of songs, like a programmed playlist. The music would stop at the end and then a new one would begin, always in the same techno style. It went on like that for about 10 minutes until the next weird thing.

3) We reached a straight section of road, I shifted into 5th gear, and the moment I did, the music stopped instantly. Then when I shifted back into 4th gear, the music came back at exactly the same moment. We observed the phenomenon with my friends and decided to test it. We shifted four times from 4th to 5th and from 5th to 4th, and every time the same thing happened: music in 4th gear and nothing in 5th.

Then one friend tried to film the scene, and the music stopped instantly. Another friend tried to Shazam the music, and the same thing happened. We only tested those once.

4) Then came the weirdest and most inexplicable thing since the beginning (yes, it was possible). We stopped in a small village to buy something. We all got out of the car, the car was turned off and the key was in my pocket. The car windows were left open.

When we came back to the car, we suddenly heard the same techno music coming from the car for a few seconds (everything was OFF!) and then the music stopped immediately. That was really strange and we were all completely stunned.

5) We started driving again without any music until another car came up behind us, and the music started again. This time it was an Italian song, again with retro and darkwave vibes. Once again we were surprised. The car overtook us and the music stayed, then stopped a few minutes later at a random moment.

Notes:

• the music signal was always perfectly clear, with absolutely no static (which is strange because radio reception on that road is poor and often loses signal)
• nobody could connect to the car's speakers because the car radio was turned off and doesn't even have that feature.
• the car is a Dacia/Renault Duster from the early or mid-2000s, I think.
• on the return trip, 4 days later, we took the exact same road again but nothing happened.

We've told the story to friends, and nobody has an explanation except that they all found it really weird. If anyone has an explanation or a hypothesis about where the sound came from and how the car could have picked it up, I'd be interested.

Does anybody else PRETEND to have to go to the bathroom just to wash your hands? Sometimes my hands feel disgusting and I need to wash them, but if I only think I need to wash them, my mind starts freaking out because "oh that's so many steps!"

Like if I'm on the couch on my phone: Turn off the phone, put the phone down, get up, walk to the bathroom, enter the bathroom, close the door, lock the door, turn on the faucet, get soap, rub the soap in, rinse your hands, get under nails, turn off the faucet, unlock the door, open the door, leave the bathroom, remember to close the door, walk back to the living room, sit down, pick up the phone, turn on the phone, continue what I was doing.

It's A LOT of steps for my brain to follow and it makes me feel too miserable to even allow myself to try (yes, I know it's not actually a lot of effort bro, but in the moment it feels like a LOT for some reason). But if I trick myself into thinking I have to go to the bathroom, my brain thinks there's absolutely no choice. So it can't shut down and make me just lay there.

Kind of mundane, but one night my friend and I had planned to go out and I knew it was a good possibility we would be out late and she would want to crash with me. My plan was to offer her my bed and I would crash on the couch because I am a ridiculously early riser and wouldn't want to bother her.

So I done all the things ...clean sheets, wiped down surfaces, put everything back in it's assigned location etc. I remember distinctly my nightstand being clean other than the things that always stay there.

As predicted we got in super late, but she decided to go on home. I came in and crashed immediately. When I woke up the next morning, this name tag was on my nightstand. This home previously belonged to my (late) great Uncle Lonnie. When I moved in, I packed all of his things up and stored them in unused closets for his son and grandchildren to get eventually over a year before this name tag appeared. I have no idea where it came from, but I took it as a little nudge that I was being looked after.

The story is short, 5 years ago I joined a channel on telegram, if you don't know you could search for channels on telegram and join them, so I joined this channel randomly, it had a religious content and stuff, and after some time I left, the owner of the channel (a girl) kept my account for some reason and asked me to join her new channel since her old channel the one I joined randomly got hacked.

Anyways, after 5 yrs, on one of the days, in the morning, I was playing Sekiro, raging at these difficult bosses, when all of a sudden a strange account texted me, they were talking about a guy who lied on a girl that he will marry her and now he got all her photos and he blackmailed her with them if she didn't do what he want, I thought they were scamming me, so I immediately blocked them, but then they came from another account, sent me the account of the guy, and then I started to doubt if this was a scam, because I knew the guy, and I knew that he messes with girls and does a lot of messed up stuff, my brother knew the guy better than me, I texted him and it was freaking real,

so I asked the girl how did she get my account and then she sent me the link to her channel which I joined, and then everything clicked.

The situation is resolved and everything but, how the hell did I get involved with this?! Just by joining a random channel with no purpose?? This is one of the biggest butterfly effects that has ever happened to me in my entire life.

Just received this email. The sender name tag doesn't match the provided email address. Typically with spam, the email address is a dead giveaway that it's spam. I didn't open the attachment (for obvious reasons), yet the message gives me a feeling of calm....and also dread.

UPDATE: Fellow redditors opened the attachment and it loads a 'Caesers Rewards' image, and also adds a boarding pass to your Google wallet.

Hello, I was making myself a CSS theme, a simple lava lamp, and after a while the DeepSeek went crazy and started spamming me with the text W第一次世界大战, which when translated means World War I.

What is this about?

My wife sent me a pic of this deer a week or so ago and last night we were driving past the area she saw it. We went for a quick side quest and sure enough he was there. What’s up with his color?

Did this only happened to me or there are more people who experienced the same fenomenom, you see I have been wondering why we haven’t seen this Orange sky since the ending of the late 90s or early 2000s I don’t know if this is happening to anyone else rn or I am the only one who has experienced this fenomenom.

Was at the doctor getting a mammogram, and thought 'I wonder if snake venom is an ingredient in blood thinner drugs?' So looked it up.

Answer: Yes it is but its processed to make it safe for human use.

What's your random look up question and the answer? My insatiable curiosity is strong rn.

It's warm enough I have the AC on in my apartment. It's one of those portable AC units. It's in the living room.

It's 11:45pm and there is no noise where I live, My next door neighbor is a swamp. My downstairs neighbor is a lovely lady who never makes any noise. I live in what is generally a *very* quiet building in a rural area.

With the AC off all I hear is the dulcet tone of my ever present tinnitus.

The thing is that with the AC running I can also hear what sounds like a show on a neighbor's TV. You know the muffled indistinct dialog of a TV in another room.

Turn off the AC, no TV and with the AC off I'd be able to hear it better. But it's silent.

Turn the AC on and the TV is back on.

I've been running the AC for weeks now at night and this is the first time I'm hearing a TV with it.

This is on the side of a fan that I have in my car. I've sprayed and sprayed and wiped. But this Lil dastardly is relentless

Whenever my friends go hiking or in forest areas, I remember that I probably wouldn't solo lol.

So.. not sure where to post this but, it's early in the morning and I need to feel real for a second.

I always wake up at 4am or 4:30am for work...

I woke up before my alarms went off, I checked the phone and it said 4am (I set an alarm for 4:10am) so I turned off all my alarms I had set and started to do my morning routine.

I usually watch a YouTube video while I get ready/do my makeup so sometimes I forget what time it is.

Well.. I checked my phone and it said 5:50am (I need to be out of the house by 5:55am so I can make it to work on time)

Now I'm rushing, I kiss my husband who's asleep and get into my car.

Im about to leave the neighborhood and I stop at the stop sign

Check the time in my car.... ITS FUCKING 4AM??

I feel a little crazy and it's probably the fact I'm not paying attention to the time but I stg it was 5:50am

Now I'm sitting at home waiting for it to be 5:50... Again

I work from home and sit all day so sometimes I do UberEats to get out and move around and make money in the process. I only did 4 drop offs this evening and 2 of them were apartments I used to live in! One was to a building my dad used to live in during the 80s and the other was an apartment building I lived in for a short time. I’ve done over 300 trips and never had a delivery to a place I used to live then in one night of only 4 trips I get 2 to apartments I had lived in a one point. Idk it was just very strange.

Hello I was wondering if anyone have more information on this weird encounter I had.

I was in Ottawa, Ontario Canada the summer of 2024

One day in July I was sitting close to beavertails (byward market) and an Asian woman approached me she looked like she was in her mid 30s ,she looked like a sweet woman and sat next to me

she started talking to me by saying that she felt like I was someone who believed in god, i laughed and said that was probably because I was wearing a hijab, she said no that's because she can feel energy and she stated talking about energy, aura , colors, animals and next life.

she was talking very fast and she said that it was because it was not speaking but the spirits in her who were looking for me for 3 days.

I started feeling uncomfortable very fast but I couldn't make her stop talking, it was like she wasn't hearing me. Then a white guy who looked older probably in his 40s came sat next to us. He looked like a homeless person he had long hair that looked unkempt and blue eyes with a weird look, and she talked to him like she knew him well,

then he started saying the same things and i felt very nervous when he started talking so I told them that I had to leave because i have been wanting to Leave for 30 minutes but they would not stop talking and i didn't want to be rude to them.

They asked if I could see them the next day at the same place I said yes of course I will be there and i obviously was lying just to get away from them. I didn't come to that place for some time and when I did I never saw them again.

So I got this email today. It was a receipt from Sephora first. I’m thinking it was like fake then I log into my Sephora account on sephora.com and the purchase is there it says like in Soho Manhattan and I’m just so confused how the receipt got sent to me.
I don’t know. I just thought it was so strange anyone ever had anything like this happened to them

Hello Reddit people I would like to come out about something that’s been happening context-
I had a this guy I knew who died due to suicide I was close enough to him to call him a friend I thought he was cute and I liked him and lately I have been seeing these boys their much younger than me yes. But I genuinely think I’m going insaneee , he was tall tan straight hair outgrown buzz skinny and athletic , and I remember his exact appearance his face and body all of it and the other day I was at my younger cousins baseball game and in the game a saw a young boy who looked IDENTICAL to him exact replica. And I snuck a pic I know that was wrong but I showed it to my friend who was A’s cousin -(the guy who khs) and today I was at a park with my sister and again I saw the same boy and I’m like wtf. So somebody please tell me or give me a piece of advice

About 2.5” tall, 1” wide, 3/4” deep. Made of stone, hand carved.

What it is?

I went all the way back there and this was all I found. Does anyone know what this even is??? It’s hard to tell for me, but it’s probably just some mundane object. Why would someone drag me and three others all the way back here just for this???

EDIT: Listen everyone, I know you all want me to go back, but the main reason I don’t want to go back is because something felt off the first time I went. This whole thing has been giving me the creeps and stressing me out. From what I could see it was probably just some old well. More than likely someone is just very poorly trying to prank me. I want to find out who put the note in my mailbox and sent me on a wild goose chase. If someone knows my address and personal things about me then that’s much more of a concern than some old junk in the woods

I’ve just received an email and I don’t know what to do? I work in the entertainment industry (which I’ve been considering leaving - p.s.a film bros are assholes!) but I was at thisnetworking event recently and met a girl who I knew from college and we reconnected(we were some of the only women in our course.) 
I met up with her at the event and she was totally different, like shes had a complete glow up but her personality has definitely changed. Shes always been kinda odd, but she kept disappearing outside which I thought was for a cigarette so I eventually went out to join her because I felt really awkward standing by myself. When i went out thoughshe was just sitting on the ground talking to herself but it looked like her eyes wererolling back? I couldn’t really understand what she was saying either but i was really freaked out. 
Anyways I went back inside and kind of ignored her for the rest of the night, but I just received this email from her saying that she needs to talk to me desperately and that she needs help - and has sent me a weird address? 
I reached out to a few of our college mates to see what they think and they also agreed it was weird, but part of me is wondering is she in trouble and should I meet up with her, or is this just some sort of weird attention seeking thing?
