I’m really into unusual/insane/unhinged. I find them fascinating. I’ve followed conspiracy theorists, alien abductees, otherkin, therians, people who eat cat fur of their sofa, etc etc.

I’m looking for good weirdness to watch during downtime. Any suggestions.

Really nasty people will do.

    The vegan scene on YouTube is full of crazy. Not to put shade on vegans but it seems every vegan youtuber is severely mentally ill.

    My favorite weirdo Youtubers are Cheru and Let’s Game It Out. They both make gaming content, but do it in totally different styles.

      I love LGIO, but I wouldn’t call it unhinged. Josh quite intentionally pushes the boundaries and breaks games because it’s frickin’ funny.

      I’ll have to check out Cheru.

        I’m not sure what else you can call someone who has played Satisfactory for at least 22 hours straight.

          A normal satisfactory player?

          Just need to fix those conveyors, then I’ll go to bed… oops and one more coal station… and hey I forgot to connect that hypertube… oh and that truck looks stuck, better re-path it… and did I remember to refill the biomass burners? … and while I’m there I may as well optimize that screw output… and update the signs… and collect a few more berries… almost forgot to pet the lizard doggo…

            You’re right, Satisfactory does that to everybody. However, you can’t tell me that he’s got all of his screws on tight after spending 7 hours building 3000km of winding roads across a sea to connect a single fire station to an entire metropolis in City Skylines 2.

              Hmm, true, Josh is chaotic neutral at best. I hesitate to say evil overall because as far as I know he only tortures video game characters (especially ones named Grace). But yeah he’s pretty evil to them sometimes, haha.

              One of my favorite episodes is Gas Station Simulator. Give that a watch if you haven’t seen it. Laugh my ass off at that one.

    I was a postmortem scientist for a decade, and have a show called After Death, which focuses on SFX makeup and embalming, based on gruesome ways people have died! It’s on a page called Bad Day HQ which focuses on the worst days in history… crime, death, natural disasters, conspiracies, cryptuds, etc. Honestly best side gig ever. I love being teach people about really morbid stuff.

    My work. This was shot at the Anatomy of Death Museum in Michigan… And the channel itself. They won Emmy awards back in the 90s/2000s

    It has:

    • Mine disasters, where companies shut off oxygen, sacrificing people, so they wouldn’t lose profits

    • Deadliest human stampedes, where people were so concerned with getting to events that they trampled, crushed, and suffocated hundreds of people

    • Famines that wiped out large percentages of entire countries, that mirror what’s happening right now

    • History behind the Bermuda Triangle and the stories of planes and ships that have vanished there

    • Stories of some of the darkest crimes in history… from serial killers to gruesome, morbid deaths

    • Disasters and crimes that happened On This Day!

    I’m really proud and have a plethora of knowledge, so please ask away. Actually ran the Wayne State Funeral History Museum for 3 years 🥰
