I think that was the first porn I ever saw (I was like 12 years old). Really weird that back then, showing someone a disgusting or disturbing video was considered a good prank.

That era of Internet history was wild. Between weird sex stuff like that and tentacle soup, weird body stuff like goatse and tubgirl, and straight up death like two guys one hammer. It seemed like every third person on the internet was trying to trick you into watching one of those.

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago

thanks for the watch list.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Do not look up tub girl. You'll regret it.

[-] lemmymarud@lemmy.marud.fr 6 points 10 months ago

You're not helping, I'm even more curious now

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Don't. Just don't. I saw it for half a second 20 years ago, and I still vividly remember it. Just don't do that to yourself.

[-] lemmymarud@lemmy.marud.fr 7 points 10 months ago

I'm 40 yo I discovered internet with stuff like rotten.com.

I saw the video earlier, it made me laugh a little and nothing else.

I think I'm broken.

Tub Girl is just a picture, not a video. I guess you mean Two Girls, One Cup? Thankfully I managed to avoid that one. Someone tricked me into clicking a Tub Girl link on IRC 20 years ago by saying it was something completely different.

Tubgirl is the OG shock site for me. It’s also why my friends and I are phishing avoidance masters.

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

This is exactly how you get me to do something. Also: It can't be that bad.

I'm still a kid, I'll have a bunch of opportunities to make bad choices. Today I didn't.

day's not over for another 30m tho.

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

That one where guys pierced their Ds with nails or something similar was pretty good too.

[-] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

Pain Olympics? I have vague memories of that.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

It was fake, it wasn’t real poo.

swap.avi on the other hand…

[-] fl42v@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Ha-ha, same. Although I was like "meh, whatever". Being a weird kid has it's benefits, I suppose.

I know what 2 girls 1 cup is but I don't understand what else is being referenced in this image.

[-] Oiconomia@feddit.de 54 points 10 months ago
[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 25 points 10 months ago

And these three ladies were in a skit on the US comedy TV show Saturday Night Live which was about that thermos hype.

[-] InputZero@lemmy.ml 19 points 10 months ago

Adding to that, Stanley Tumblers have become the latest status symbol for children as well as adults. So it's not uncommon for a child to get bullied because their water bottle isn't a Stanley Tumbler.

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

The fact that people think they need a water bottle in school is crazy weird.

[-] sour@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

school only having water bottle filler

Your article contains a statement from Stanley: "no lead is present on the surface of any Stanley product that comes into contact with the consumer nor the contents of the product." I don't find anything supporting your claim that the cups were "found to contaminate drinks with lead." Am I missing something?

[-] Cheesus@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You're not wrong. They use lead to seal the vacuum. You will only be contaminated with lead if it gets damaged. Most other big popular brands moved away from lead to glass sealing years ago citing worker health and potential lead exposure if they get damaged.

As far as I know, they didn't show to actually contaminate drinks. There's just lead in places where it doesn't come into contact with the drink. The lawsuit is for not disclosing this information. Or at least that's how the article reads.

Edit: it was in California, where it's mandatory to say whether or not the product has lead (and probably other things) in it.

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

This seems a good filter irl to avoid people that clearly are too addicted to tiktok.

[-] rab@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

Up until now I thought it was the same Stanley that makes tools which was making no sense to me

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

There’s a company called Stanley that has been treating thermos releases like designer sneaker drops. Imagine the Hydroflask hype but limited releases causing high demand.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

I haven't actually seen any of the hype for the cup. I have only seen people complaining about the hype for the cup.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Do you consume the media on which it is popular? TikTok is the main source. I don’t have it installed nor do I watch the videos, so I have seen zero hype about it and only hear the complaints as well. However, a friend’s daughter is all about tiktok and the like, and yeah, she’s got 2-3 Stanley mugs. Dumbest thing ever. Can’t wait to see these mugs at yard sales for $5 in a few years.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I've had tiktok for like 2 years now and haven't seen anything about these cups.

Then again I'm not a teenage girl so my feed isn't full of teenage girl shit

[-] RenegadeTwister@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Damn, marketing has sure done a number on people.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, that and the whole “challenge” scene is sharp as a box of bowling balls.

I thought Stanley Cup is a hockey thing?

And there are clearly 3 girls and 4 cups in the picture, you silly billy.

[-] Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Stanley is a UK brand that originally just made flasks. They started making cups in the same style as their flasks and for some reason they recently blew up online.

[-] RavingGrob@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

UK? I was fairly confident that it was entirely an American brand. Unless this is a different Stanley and not the one owned by PMI.

Also jump scares....... So much jump scares.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago

I’m not sure I ever saw this, but pudding fart is still seared into my retinas.

[-] GingeyBook@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

Oh you would remember if you saw it

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago
