At three in the morning, I woke to my wife screaming and only then realized I was hunched over his empty crib.

    Jesus christ. I did not noticed that thanks. Kind of a what the fuck kind of situation here.

    I have a better one for you though, Nazis take uncontested control of the United States government. Then overthrow all Western governments.

    That is actually way more horror than anything you guys are talking about, and it’s true. Sweet dreams.

        You know you can just come across this in all, top, or any other sort, on any instance too? I could see it being a bit jaring if you don’t pay attention to the community name. Cut people a little slack, especially when they acknowledge they didn’t notice something.

            I’d have thought that too, but several users seem actually quite cross about it. A simple ‘have you checked the community name?’ seemed to resolve the issue without all the snarkiness I saw in some posts. Anyway, our lost lemming is back on track, and who knows, maybe they’ll deliberately come looking for a little dose of horror in future.

          If people are in All, they will undoubtedly see things that make them uncomfortable. And that’s what the block button is for. Individuals are responsible for curating the content they see, not what others post.

          Is it that hard to look? To gather some context clues right at the top of the screen? To use tools right at your fingertips?

          Don’t yell at the hot stove when you get burnt by it.

      Thats not fiction? Are you being confused/upset because there are still places on the internet where people have fun and are trying to get away from politics?

      Fictional horror is fun specifically because its fiction. The real life horrors are gut wrenching and almost disabling.

        Even if I did know it was horror, murdering pets and their own children would be a little fucked up as far as I’m concerned but you do you. But I think it is pretty unfair to Sleepwalkers if you ask me. Several percent of the population sleepwalks and none of them generally murder pets or infants.

          And as we all know, fiction is only supposed to include things that happen in real life… especially the horror genre, no imagination there, just real stuff that really happens, hence the word fiction. I’ve never seen anything in a fictional horror movie or story that can’t happen in real life…

      I can well believe it! It’s definitely not the sort of thing you expect in ‘all’!

      That is actually way more horror than anything you guys are talking about, and it’s true.

      I think you need to expand the second sentence a bit, give it some suspense or something, otherwise it’s pretty good.

      Sweet dreams

      Oh those went missing a long time ago…

        Well, there was once this bad businessman, he did his business bad, which is to say he collected blackmail files on everybody.

        ,He seized control of a party fully intent on becoming a one-party State and overthrowing the Republic of their own accord and brought the plan ahead of schedule.

        Now those in reality rejoiced! Yay, because they lost the election we can now stop them and their Half Baked attempt to overthrow the republic!

        But alas, it was not so. Old man Hindenburg thought it was 1990 and mumbled some shit about whatever while it literal coup against the American Republic went unpunished and was openly organized for another go.

        The second coup worked, and all Patriots despaired. Waiting for this dumpster fire to burn itself out.
