Nikki Catsouras The Tragic Crash of Nicole "Nikki" Catsouras Nikki Catsouras was an 18-year-old who died tragically in a car accident in 2006. She was driving her father's Porsche in California when she lost control and crashed. The scene was so grizzly that Catsouras' parents were never asked to identify the body. Unfortunately, photos were circulated online. Two California Highway Patrol Officers admitted to e-mailing the pictures to friends, putting them out there for all to see. If you're sensitive to graphic images, do not Disney Out of Context Disney fans will want to steer clear of the subreddit and other online spaces dedicated to Disney out of context memes. They feature gifs and images from the beloved childhood movies and shows overlaid with completely inappropriate captions. The posts range from slightly atonal to completely gruesome, including many that are sexual in nature. Children should be kept away from these sites at all cost. Original Disneyland Costumes Disneyland and Disney World are places of pure fantasy today. However, the sight of the park's opening day can be jarring for contemporary viewers. It's hard to imagine children being delighted by the frightening costumes and eerie aesthetic on display in the old videos. Kids in Sandbox Once again, these seemingly harmless search terms will lead to a graphic sexual video that almost no one would want to see. It features a woman mutilating a man's body using a vibrator. It is one of the lesser-known vide...

We all know that Google is a wonderful source of information, but it can be a dangerous place. What starts out as an innocent search for information turns into an Alice in Wonderland trip down the rabbit hole. You find what should be a basic search term for food or sports figures turns out to be a disgusting medical condition. I can promise that this article will have you cringing and shaking your head in absolute amazement at the depths of depravity and insanity that has taken over the darkest corners of the internet. We’ll go from strange to sick and from gross to bizarre as we travel down the twisted road of internet hell. I knew there were some disgusting things out there, but I was shocked at the depths of it. I welcome you to take this ride with me but I will say this, you can’t go back in time and forget what you saw. I can be very sure of that. After all, I had to find these entries. If you’re ready to see things that will stick with you whether you want them to or not, keep reading. If you do, don’t say I didn’t provide ample warning. Sit back and enjoy the creepshow. 15. Death Clock This crazy website has been around for years and is one of the creepiest sites you probably should just avoid. It is a strange site that is supposed to predict your death date. Why would anyone feel the need to do this? This supposedly innocent website was probably set up as a joke, but it’s definitely creepy. No one wants to feel like death is hanging over them. Intellectually, we kn...

For as long as I can remember, the Internet has been full of seemingly innocent phrases that are actually code for some of the most disgusting things you'll ever see. Now, I had thought that everyone was familiar with these things by now, that everyone had at one point or another been sent a link to a so-called "shock site" as a joke. But recently in our GQ Slack room, it was revealed that a number of people were completely unfamiliar with the genre. So, allow this post to be your public service announcement. Do not Google the following things (unless you want to see something shocking/pornographic/graphic/etc): "Lemon Party" What you'd expect: Photos of a fun and festive celebration that is themed around the tart yellow fruits that are responsible for so many a refreshing seasonal beverage, as well as the inspiration for the most underrated of the Starburst flavors. What it is: Naked old men engaged in recreational activities. "Blue Waffle" What you'd expect: Maybe a post on an obnoxious mom-blog about how to make your child a delicious breakfast treat while also honoring America for the Fourth of July. It would be served with red strawberries and whipped cream to give it a fully patriotic flavor, and the post would be full of language that reminds you the author is a way better parent than you will ever be. What it is: A picture of an STD-riddled vagina. "Mr. Hands" What you'd expect: Maybe a fansite dedicated to the What it is: A terrible, graphic video of a man being k...

The Internet is for everyone, right? But sometimes, you have to be a bit careful. That’s because there are a ton of things you should never Google. Why only Google? Well, that’s because it’s the search engine the majority relies on. Now, Google has a ton of information (in the form of articles, videos, images, news, etc.). Unfortunately, some of that information could be misleading for some. Similarly, some of that information may be toxic for some users or may ruin their day. So, what are those most disturbing google search things you shouldn’t google? We are about to explore them in this blog post. So, let us get into it! Interesting Fact: It Took us Nearly a Whole Week To Find Out these terms That You Shouldn’t Google. Imagine, How Weird And Disturbing These Terms Could Be? 1: “Huntsman Spider.” A spider? What’s wrong with googling about different species of a spider? Well, we get you, but this spider isn’t normal. It is the world’s largest spider because of its extra-long legs (up to 5-6 inches). Now, the size and appearance of this spider may ruin your day. Though generally, they aren’t deadly to humans, their appearance, how they prey, etc., might make you feel uncomfortable. So, this is one of the first phrases that you should never google. 2: “Botfly Removal.” Be very scared with this term. That’s because it’s also an insect specie that can be quite dangerous to human health. Its disrobing images can turn a good day into a bad one. As the name says, it’s a fly that...

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. Sometimes it's better to stay ignorant about certain things. Things that do not really bring anything good to our lives, other than disgust, confusion, and maybe even paranoia. It used to be a lot easier. All you had to do was avoid a topic. If need be, you just wouldn't watch TV or read the newspaper for a bit. But everything changed in the digital age. Most information is just a click away, which is both a blessing—and a curse. While search engines such as Google make our lives easier, they can also present us with search results for questions we shouldn't even be asking. In this gallery you'll find a list of things you should never, ever search on You may also like:

If you're searching for pictures of moth larvae, be very careful not to accidentally type the word mouth instead. Instead of pictures of household pests, you'll find pictures of humans and other animals with larvae crawling between their teeth. You will never be able to un-see these images... or videos. Learning the basics of bedbugs and travel is probably a good idea. But if you're looking to avoid stress, maybe not. Five minutes of exposure to the warning signs of bedbugs could convince even discerning people that these six-legged intruders are hiding in their bedding. Exhibit A: Within a day of googling "bedbugs," we threw away perfectly good sheets. That's $45 we'll never get back.
