The lamp story doesn't hit as hard the 754th time.

[maya]

Babe wake up, new debunk file dropped. [Babe is consumed by the lamp and never existed.]

[shawnl]

The first story has variations, the one I heard was that a football hit his head while walking on campus.

I live in Ohio and I frequently shop at Dollar Tree for snacks. The amount of mysterious items that show up on Dollar Tree shelves and then are never seen again is more than you'd think. Dollar Tree seems to be a dumping ground for dupes, knockoffs, and generics. I've discovered items in that store with no brand- or company-identifying information anywhere on the packaging.

You should do a video about Fouad L./Motoranon: a 4chan user who made thousands of posts under that username before committing the 2023 Rotterdam shooting that left 3 people dead. I think there's enough material there to make an entire video about it or at least a section in the next 4chan deep dive.

Yo, I work at a Dollar Tree the Pure Sparkling Water drink is just another generic brand. We get them like every week on the delivery truck. Unlike Walmart who have the Great Value brand our off-brand doesn't have an identity it's just [insert generic label here]. The weird address is kinda common with a lot of stores off-brand stuff. Sure it comes from a specific retailer, but most product doesn't originate from the same plant. Alot of the time off-brand stuff comes from the same plant that name-brand stuff is made. The Pure Sparkling Water seems like one of those, and it is pretty good. Sorry if this didn't help or anything I'm not a merchandising manager I'm just a cashier

I went to high school with a girl who briefly died while having her first kid (at 13). She was dead for under 2 minutes. She said that, in those 2 minutes, she saw the death of the universe. She saw our sun slowly collapse into a black hole and eat everything around it. When it reached where she was, she came back.
The fun explanation is you can travel to different times or dimensions when you black out/die hard enough. The realistic explanation is your brain released tons of DMT when you're, like, dying, or your brain thinks you're dying, and you're just tripping balls for a minute.

I went unconscious one time and hit my head, and during that time I had no concept or recollection of my life and existence, instead just reliving the images of looking from one friends face to the other, which is what I did in the ~5 seconds before I passed out.

I didn't have any concept of time, really, but the 5 second loop would replay quickly, and then slowly, and I just remember kind of foggily thinking, "is this all there is? Is this all there will ever be?" before I woke up briefly, being carried up the basement steps, and then passed out again, waking up a few moments later on the couch, with no memory of what happened in the 5 minutes leading up to that happening.

Thanks for reminding me of that wild experience.

Doppelganger lore always bugs me out a little

[abneroz]

I had a parallel life dream once. I lived from childhood into old age as a man. I had a wife, children, even grandchildren. I remember bits and pieces from my childhood and adulthood but what I remember most was being in the hospital on a ventilator, surrounded by my wife, kids and grandkids before I died and then woke up
I never had that dream again and it gets foggier as every year of my “real” life passes

[jeremysmith]

I figured something was a little off with you. Florida resident explains it. Carry on and watch out for bath salt zombies, alligators, spring breakers, and governor high heels.

[DissonantSynth]

Minor language correction at 3:47 - "doted" is pronounced like "voted"

[cakes]

Bro in the first story is LARPING LMAO. No one refers to their wife “bore me a child” multiple times. Lmao no one talks like that unless they’re trying to make their story sound more in depth

[Smoochie_Wallace]

ngl it always freaks me out when I'm stoned and I see those accounts/posts from a decade+ ago with no conclusion/update, like what happened to those ppl. Clearly they were mindful enough in their actions to go on reddit and share their story with strangers on the internet, but they weren't mindful enough to ever come back?! It's always been nuts to me

[coyoteartist]

I genuinely dislike the creepy sadness that the lamp story makes me feel. The first time I heard it, it was the fact that he didn't give details that made it feel more real. A story that intense, there's only so much one may feel safe to share. There's a lot of stories like that out there that I doubt are real, but this is one I'll believe.

[Kepesk]

Having worked in retail in the US, the Mr. Poop story doesn't even make me bat an eye.

[neverknowsjess]

My fiance works for a popular worldwide drink distribution company (not going to name it). He frequently comes home with weird, one-off test products and stuff that never make it to store shelves. He says a lot of bulk products that never make it to major production end up getting dumped at discount stores. I’m not surprised at all that the mystery drinks came from dollar tree. They were probably going to originally be sold as a supermarket generic to lacroix or something.

[dreamlandnightmare]

Heard that first story multiple times before, and it's such obvious BS. Sounds like the premise for a rejected Twilight Zone script.

[bladesboss]

I had my dad listen to the lamp story. For context he was in a medically indused coma due to pancreatities for 6 months. He said the dreams he had genuinely felt like it was real life, he still remembers almost all of them. I can't remember all the details, but he remembers having one where he was with friends, even some that passed, theres more to it but id need to ask again, he doesnt really lime to talk about it though. Thankfully his pancreas liquefied and a week later he woke up.

[BunnaySango]

That sparkling water is some kind of SCP
