BFs are a format that presents a short looping animation, which has become part of internet culture, where users create short animations or take clips from any audiovisual media and put them in this format, being used to show a reaction to any stupid thing. The origins of this date back to 1987 and I won't say anything more because that part is later in the video and this iceberg is not a very extensive one. Most descriptions will explain the origin of some memes because GIFs are essentially that, but the further down we go, the more we'll find some that aren't very friendly. So without further ado, let's get to the first level. Patrick Bitman and the Sigma expression. A gif that became very popular, especially since the end of 2022 through TikTok with the trend of being or believing oneself to be Sigma. This clip is derived from a scene in the movie American Psycho where Patrick Beitman's character, during a conversation with Paul Allen's character , would later offer him some cake for his birthday. At one point he makes the following gesture. A frame used as a reaction image for memes until later it would arrive on TikTok, where the scene would be edited several times, with funk music in the background, and then another trend called the Sigma Face would emerge, in which users imitate this facial expression. The film has more clips that are perfect for reaction gifs, but we can say that the one with the sigma expression, as it is now called, is one of the best known. Mindblown. This is a colloquial term used to express an emotion felt when discovering or learning something new. Whether it's something not so important, its meaning would be something like mind-blowing. This word would begin to be used on the internet in various blogs until it reached Forchan. And then the phrase would be used in different gifs or memes, but the gif it has been most associated with is this one, a clip that comes from an adult series, which I will call The Amazing Timmy Eric Show. The clip in question comes from here, where they are explaining the universe, and at one point they make that expression which fits well with the meaning of the phrase. Although to be honest, GIFs have been used more ironically to describe something obvious or absurd. Ricoll. This is a true classic. This was born in 2007 on Forchan, the video game forum, as a joke inspired by its predecessor, the du roll, which consisted of the same thing: sending an external link with a sensational title so that in the end it redirects you to a cursed image of a duck on wheels. In that Forchan thread from 2007, a user had shared a link to a supposed preview of GTA 4, a game that generated great anticipation at the time, so many fans of the saga who were on the board clicked on the link and found the music video of Ricas Ley for the song Nevergona Give You app and from there this joke became very popular on Forchan and throughout the internet. In 2022 we had an official remake of the Rig Roll by an insurance company for an advertising spot. Gift refers to a trend on TikTok where a short clip with added text is repeated accompanied by a rap song and usually a fade to white transition is used each time the gif is repeated, which is sped up to give it a more comical effect. The format emerged in mid-2024, where they are mostly used to represent some everyday situations. Troll. This refers to a darker version that was made of the troll face gif from 2012. This new version would be called Trollge, presented with the face partially hidden by shadow. And this version had been circulating online since July 2020 as a kind of creepypasta, appearing in a series of countdown videos that warned of the arrival of an entity called Trolge, advising the viewer to seek shelter. Subsequently, the image of Trollge would be widely disseminated online, where a gif would be created, then it would appear in the so-called void memes and also different templates would be made where it becomes more disturbing. Inspired by the templates of the incredibly disturbed mist. Meme of the cat playing the piano. Another classic. This one originated in 1984, created by Charles Schmidh, who dressed his orange cat named Fso, manipulating its paws to make it look like it was playing the keyboard. This recording was uploaded to YouTube in 2007, but it wasn't until 2009 that the video went viral when a YouTuber made a masuk that included a man falling down the stairs with the cat video appearing at the end. After this went viral, more subscribers were added and the cat video would be used as an indicator of failure in both forums and communities. In case you're wondering, Fatso passed away in 1987, but after the video went viral, Eschmitid would begin using his cat named Bento as the new keyboard cat in his subsequent media appearances. However, in March 2018, Bento would pass away from cancer. Therefore, to continue with the meme, Eschimit would use Eskin, another orange cat whom he had already adopted along with Vento, becoming the third Gborcat, who to this day is still alive. GIF of a dancing banana. This well-known gif is a flash animation created by Ryan Gansenia Etrata and Kevin FN in early 2002, where a banana appears dancing to the rhythm of the song Peanut Butter Yellin, composed in 2001 by the group Booket Boys, which would be their only hit. The animation was shared on Forums of Topic until March of 2002 when a New Grands user named as such shared it on the site and from there the clip would become superfluous, appearing as a reference in some media, as well as generating derivative videos, including remixes and more subtitles. GIF of Michael Jackson eating popcorn. A classic gif that gained popularity in 2007 on Manna Dog's You are site and then spread to other sites, being used as a funny reaction while witnessing a discussion on social networks. The clip in question comes from the thriller music video released in 1982, and in 2026 his nephew Jafar Jackson recreated the scene for a promotional trailer for the biopic of the king of pop. Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme. A clip originating from the film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, directed by Nick Tarantino and released in 2019, where in a specific scene, Leonardo DiCaprio's character, Rick Dalton, is sitting in an armchair watching a television program until he recognizes himself and ends up pointing at the screen. On February 7, 2020, this Twitter user would publish the first known use of the image as a meme; there are more users on Twitter and other networks who would mostly use it as an expression of recognizing something, whether in any medium such as video games, movies or series, etc. Niankat. Niank Cat is a well- known animation created by user Christopher Torres. The idea came from two suggestions made to her in the chat of a broadcast she was doing as a donation campaign for the Red Cross in support of Japan after suffering a tsunami a month earlier. The animation was published on the LOL Comics website on April 2, 2011, and that same month, a YouTube user uploaded the animation with the Vocaloid song Nian Nian Nian playing on a loop. Since then, this animation has become a super viral meme. Toge. Togue is the nickname given to this Shibe breed dog, which originated in Japan. On February 13, 2010, Atsuko Sato, a preschool teacher, posted photos on her personal blog of a dog she had adopted, which she named Kabosu. Among those photos was this legendary image that went super viral in mid-2013, leading to the creation of many, I mean, too many memes of this dog, with a great variety that have lasted to this day. On May 24, 2024, the news broke that Dog had passed away after battling cancer. This was revealed on the owner's Instagram, accompanied by a nice message. Users would dedicate tributes, messages, and online memorials to this iconic internet dog. Gift of ISO Speed ​​and Fly Reaction. Basically clips taken from the streams of this content creator, who became known in 2020 for his live streams, where he displayed an energetic style and a lot of exaggerated reactions. Since then, the guy has become a good source of reaction memes. Similarly, the YouTuber and musician Fly Reacts is known for his reaction videos, where he has also made some very funny faces. That's why many of his clips taken from his live streams became memes. Gift Walter White collapsing. A clip from the Breaking Bad series, specifically from the episode Osymandias released in 2013, where in one scene the character of Walter Blanco suffers an emotional breakdown and falls to the ground after witnessing the death of someone close to him. The clip itself would become a good source of memes, and around 2017 the clip of the scene would become a popular gif used to express a reaction of sadness or drama to a situation. GIF of Drake helping Lil Yti. Need help with a problem or something you do n't quite understand? Drake can help you solve it with some logic. Okay. This popular meme comes from a scene in the music video for the 2020 song Life is good, where Drake, as a smartphone store employee, helps rapper Lil Yti with a problem on his laptop. The clip would gain popularity in that same year, 2020, circulating widely on Instagram, used humorously. Then the same meme would be replicated on other networks. GF of Jordan Pele sweating. Another well-known reaction clip is this one. Originating from the Comedy Central series Kean Pele. In an episode of the third season, which premiered in September 2013, there is a sketch in which Jordan Pele's character gets so nervous that he sweats like a pool because his girlfriend asks him about his internet habits. On December 17, 2013, a Reddit user requested that a GIF be made of this moment, so another user created the GIF we know, which was later shared on other Reddit subs and then uploaded to the Jifi site. From there it would become known, obviously used to represent situations of discomfort or extreme nervousness. Movies as a GIF basically refers to watching a movie converted into a GIF file. An example of this is when someone uploaded the full Shek movie in this format, which was super-compressed and without sound. But if you don't want to watch the movie this way, there's another example of these GFs that summarize the whole movie in at least a minute, or I think even much less. Offensive GIFs on Instagram. In March 2018, there was a controversy on Instagram over some offensive GIFs, as it turns out that both this social network and Snapchat used their GIFs and stickers integrated from the Hiffi site. However, within this site's library there were some offensive GIFs about racism that users would begin to use. Because of this incident, both social networks temporarily deactivated their integrations with this site, but it wouldn't last long, as Gifi began to strengthen its moderation systems, proactively reviewing any new gif that was added. Therefore, at least on Instagram, the integration was reactivated. Speech bubbles. Speech bubbles, depending on the image used at the bottom, whether positive or negative, are used to add sarcasm or often with the aim of ridiculing the opinion of other users during a conversation. This practice of using images to ridicule users has been used on Forchan and other forums since the mid-2010s, but on Tumblr in late 2015 one of the first recorded cases of this trend occurred with the speech bubble, when a user of the site replied to another with a screenshot of Rick and Morty with a speech bubble. Initially, these speech bubbles only used static images, but then they gained popularity and were incorporated as GIFs. The first gif in history. As I mentioned at the beginning, the first gif in history is this one, a gray airplane flying above the clouds, which was created in 1987 by computer scientist Stefu White. Together with the Compuser team, they created the Griff format with the goal of making a color image format that was lightweight enough to be shared quickly through the slow connections of the computers of that time. What began as a technical tool over the years transformed into a form of communication, memes, and shitposting, becoming a cultural phenomenon of the internet, and we all owe it to this man. GIF about adult content. In short, looped clips that you can find when you enter one of these adult websites. However, to this list I will add the meme-like content, if you can call it that, taken from some of these videos where the actors in this industry leave us with good moments. In this section I will mention a certain King Nasir, whose clip has recently been trending on TikTok and social media with people imitating his moves who probably don't know the origin of this clip, but let's just say it's funny to watch because of the moves he does , he even does a cameja, a good way of saying that he enjoys his work. It is the name of a British artist known for his work, especially for his technique called GFT. And I don't know if I said it right, but this technique was implemented in mid-2010, which consists of merging urban art with the WF format, where the artist paints entire murals by hand several times and then photographs them at different stages, which are then joined together to create a looped animation, creating the illusion that the mural is in motion. Kitmograph. It is the stage name of the Argentine animator Gustavo Torres, who is known for having created these animated backgrounds that combine a retro-futuristic aesthetic with a psychedelic and neon effect. You probably recognize these backgrounds because they are widely used in YouTube videos and on websites for animated backgrounds. According to an interview with the Jifi website, Torres started making these animated gifs in 2001 and in 2012 he began publishing his art on Tumblr, where he became increasingly popular. Jelly writer. This is a gif taken from the Pokémon Platinum game where the Pokémon Giratina appears and at one point it suddenly launches itself towards the screen with a sudden effect that looks more like a scammer, which has given players a small scare . The scene would later be edited by adding another type of sound, but in its original format it does not contain one, but it might still give you a little scare. Bat switch. This is a term that refers to various images and videos that are used as bait to trick users into viewing completely unexpected content. The aforementioned Rick Roll and Book Roll are the best-known examples and also the mildest, since these scams also include more perverse things, such as links to malicious sites or the well-known shocksites. Some examples are the site agar.io, which showed you a blinking gif of Jeff the Killer. There's also Me Spin and a site that became known a couple of years ago, which I'll mention later in a few levels along with another equally unpleasant site. Supredit de gif rotos. A suredit created around 2012 dedicated solely to publishing broken gifs, that is, gifs that have glitches, distortions and visual errors made intentionally. If you like this kind of humor, this Discord subditual refers to a rare Discord feature that, when you send a trending GIF followed by the message "sex" in slashes, turns the GIF into a four-panel, textless meme titled this way. If you write the word sex in slashes again, the meme transforms into a more exaggerated version called Ultra Double Sex Activated. In May 2022, a Discord user shared this feature, and this led many other users to try it and post their results for the longest possible time or the longest gif in history. This is an art project consisting of a gift that is planned to last 1000 years and no, it 's not bait. It says so on their own page. The idea for this project was given by Finnish artist Yu Vanen, made in collaboration with developer Jan Arquela. And this project, which will last more than 20 generations, consists of black frames that have a white number that changes, and each frame is displayed for about 11 minutes. The numbers range from one to 48 million and some change. And once that number is reached, the animation will repeat itself in order to play indefinitely. The project began on March 28, 2017 at the Kiasma Museum in Helsinki and is designed to be completed in 2017. In short, the idea of ​​this project is to play with time, patience, technological obsolescence and the ephemeral nature of digital art. For the creator, it's interesting that this work you're seeing will be viewed in real time by other people in 1 year. Its inspiration comes directly from Jon Kage's musical piece, Organ 2, called As Slow As Possible, which has been played for several centuries in a church in Germany, only this time the project is a gif. Dreamy Bull GIF. Dreamy Bull is the name of another adult content creator, who has become the subject of reaction memes for his hilarious expressions. There's nothing more to say about this. Let's move on to the next topic. GIF of the lizard approaching Spider-Man. This is a looped animation of Spider-Man being dragged into a sewer by the Lizard. The image was created by Instagram user Wens1998, who posted it in November 2022 as a static image. In January 2023, it was given a looping animation, which became the subject of reactions and memes after going viral on TikTok and Twitter when a user described the animation as if Spider-Man were being detonated by the Lizard. And that's how this very tough image of Spider-Man is ruined by the looped GIF that was made of it, although I won't deny that it does give that impression. XD bottle that explodes and stuns a dog. This is a video where a purebred dog and Brusel are seen playing with a large pressurized plastic bottle until suddenly the bottle bursts from the pressure, causing a very loud bang that leaves the little dog stunned. This exact moment, although it may be shocking to some , became a meme. And yes, they would even make a gif of the moment. But in case you're wondering, the dog is fine. His name is Frodo. And in an Instagram post, his owner confirmed that Frodo was only stunned and when they went to the vet they were told that the dog is absolutely fine. And well, they also took the opportunity to promote a drink for their brewery in honor of this dog. GF rare mouths instead of eyes. This refers to these very unsettling images and GIFs , where a person's eyes are replaced by their mouth, a bizarre concept that has been circulating on the internet since 2005. Although the creator of these edits is unknown, this research blog indicates that the concept of these images has been used on websites since around 1998, with AS3 Incorporated, a computer graphics company, attributing the creation of the image. Interestingly, some pointed out that the inspiration for these bizarre editions could have come from the character The Corinthian, from the Sandman comic, whose characteristic is that instead of eyes he has a pair of mouths. The publication dates of the comic with the image made by S3 Incorporate do coincide. This is a person who dies while undergoing an MRI scan. This refers to a comment made by a user known as Chay Star on Tumblr to a 2011 GIF post. His text read, "This is a person dying while undergoing an MRI, and what we see are the endorphins released by the brain upon death." Obviously, what's shown isn't real, as this GIF comes from episode 6 of the first season of The Walking Dead, where in one scene Dr. Jenner shows the protagonists what the brain of a person infected with the virus looks like. At least some users politely pointed out that the clip was from the show. As the post spread across Tumblr, users turned Chay Star's text into a meme, replacing the zombie GIF with any other image that doesn't make sense. One example is a GIF of Piccolo detonating Vegeta. This refers to an animated GIF in which Piccolo is seen having, well, forced sex with Vegeta. The animation was created by the GIF artist Baden. It was uploaded to Rule 34 in April 2008. Then, the GIF was shared on the Forchan video game board, where moderators began banning those who posted it. This led users to post increasingly censored versions, where only the green and purple colors were visible, causing any image containing those colors to be linked to the GIF. I could n't find much information about the origin of this GIF. It has appeared on some sites as a horror GIF, but beyond that, I don't know where it comes from or who the person in it is . I also remember it appearing in YouTube videos that featured clips from various horror movies, TV series, and videos from the internet. Speaking of which, I'll also briefly mention the GIFs that have been made from these horror media or horror in general. Hey everyone, it's the Teletubby in a suit. I wo n't spoil some iceberg extras, so let's get to it. The GIFanders From the Boys series, Lechelander is the character who has given us the most reaction memes , even in the last season he gave us a couple more. I couldn't mention one in particular because they're all gems xd. I could also mention this panel from the comic, where Billy Wcher's character makes this gesture right before going to farm Aura in front of the spers flying over the White House. This video of the rapper not crying. He posted this on his Instagram in 2023, which has been used a lot in videos to represent strong emotions, or so I think. Hahaha. These GIFs of Blackbeard and the rapper writing in fire, obviously to represent a phrase, comment, or something, are very good, just like what Matt Rik did with the Batman movie and just like he'll do with the sequel. These GIFs of the letters of the alphabet, Wii's reaction, a clip used a lot in videos, which comes from episode 11 of the first season of the Wire series, where this character makes a gesture of disbelief after discovering who He shot an undercover police officer. In 2009, a GIF of this scene was published and quickly became popular on Reddit and the Gur site. The Rock memes, the power hierarchy, Johnson is another character who has given us many reaction jokes. The " Who is he?" meme, originating from a Peppa Pig shocking mysteries video. XD What stands out most about the video is its thumbnail, where we see the Pig family in the kitchen, but in the window there's a rather curious character, who has the typical yellow circle and the text "Who is he?" And well, many variations of this thumbnail came from here, even in GIF format. This creepy video of an eye in the dark. The truth is, I know the origin of this. We also have GIFs of unpleasant people and finally the GIFs that I've forgotten to mention just because I'm lazy. Well, based on this, that would be all from me. I'll leave you with the rest of the video. LOL GIF. Superman. Obviously fake. The thing is that in March of this year, 2026, it would be shared A GIF of an alleged clip from the LOL Superman video was circulated online, but in reality, it was created to deceive users of the subreddit dedicated to the topic. It was made by the user Bed Reiper along with a friend , a former user of the Geven 666 website. This was confirmed in a post on the same subreddit, where he expressed his displeasure with the users of this subreddit, who had allegedly been harassing several cameramen present during the 9/11 attacks, sending them constant messages demanding they show this supposed footage or confirm its existence. Due to this toxic behavior, Bed Reiper and his friend decided to invent the story of a cameraman named Jay, a former television technician who was active on a Geven 666 forum. Their intention was to impersonate users of this forum by sharing this story on the Gore subreddit in order to attract users searching for the video. Some believed it and focused on the They searched for a nonexistent cameraman. Then they decided to go further and contacted someone specializing in visual effects to create a supposed video clip, which would then be turned into a GIF. They added the Geeven 666 website watermark with the name of the invented cameraman and a link to a private forum, which obviously didn't exist. They also asked some friends to change the names of their old accounts to make it seem like several people were confirming the story. Many users of the subreddit fell for this bait until DB de Reiper clarified it, serving as a lesson on the toxic behavior of users and the amount of misinformation promoted on this topic over the years, which could be a topic for a video. The Sergel or Unlucky Girl 03. This is an anime GIF made by this Japanese artist that shows a young woman in a swimsuit being immobilized and skinned by a machine. Since 2012, this GIF has become popular after being shared on various sites to generate impact. in users. And over the years, the GIF continued to be posted on other networks, even becoming a meme with montages of different characters being in the machine. GIFs that induce seizures. In short, they are a series of GIFs that present flashing color patterns , strobing lights, and rapid flashes that end up causing seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. Furthermore, it goes without saying how dangerous it can be to share this kind of GIF, something that a couple of internet trolls could do , as in 2008, when an epilepsy foundation had to temporarily close its website due to a cyberattack where the forum was flooded with this kind of GIF and images. Blue Giff refers to this screamer, which you may know better by the name of the evil, a video that appeared as a bonus in pirated DVDs. And the version we see here is much shorter because the original GIF lasts around 30 seconds in which you observe an abandoned room until a ghost appears that goes towards the viewer. The oldest record of it dates back to 2002 on the website giggideout.com. It was later uploaded to the well-known site Winterroad, and a scream was subsequently added to the animation when the ghost appears. The creator of this GIF is unknown, but the origin of the ghost image is known . It comes from a 1993 Korean horror book called "Special Terror Experiences," which also features another well-known internet horror image: "Me Spin," another classic example of internet shock material . This site displayed a GIF of two people having anal sex, while the other person's penis spun around, hence its name. The clip was accompanied by the 2003 remix of the song "US Spin My Round" by the band Dora Life. A funny thing about the site was that there was a spin counter that indicated how many times you had played the video; if you exceeded 45 spins, a text box appeared asking what you were. The origins of this clip come from a pornographic film. A Brazilian transsexual from 2004 named Tesitches. In that same year, the GIF of this scene was hosted on a site called Ridin Espinas, which played the rap song by 36 Mafia. In March 2005, the Meet Spin domain was launched, hosting the GIF we already know. It became popular online, being mentioned in various forums. Because of this, malicious variations of the site also appeared, and in 2013, a computer science student at Florida State University, Panama City campus, hacked the university's wireless network to redirect all users to the Meet Spin site. He later justified his actions by saying he did it to force the university to improve its network security, although I think there were better ways to do it. Ayan Happy Gif. This is a creepypasta created in 2011 by the user Multiverseman about a supposed griff called Ayan Griff that displays a yellow circle. with eyes and a smile. The thing is, the animation then fades and shows the same face, but angry and with poorly drawn eyebrows, causing the screen to display flickering images of Regan McNail, Sam, and a Harlequin Fetus, all accompanied by a loud scream. And obviously, this repeats over and over. It's also said that the GIF can be harmful to anyone who sees it, as it would have side effects for both viewers and their computers, the latter being much more likely to happen. Walking with Dinosaurs. This is a shock site that takes part of its name from a 1987 song by the band Was, which was used in a couple of movies. The song is innocent, but the site is not. It was created in 2008 and hosted on the well-known site Lol Shock, where a crude, low-resolution pornographic animation of two T-Rexes in the 69 position is shown. The video had the Was song playing in the background , along with hearts, lightning bolts, and silhouettes of apatosauruses. Side. Also, on the page, the video came with a satirical description calling it a masterpiece. The site remained active until mid- 2022, although it was archived and later deleted. Chicken Annihilation. According to a comment on the original Iceberg post, which is no longer visible, but trust me because I saw it at the time, I remember it said that this was a GIF showing a guy pointing a shotgun at a chicken. He had the shotgun in his right hand, while holding the camera in his left. And then what you'd expect happens. The man shoots the chicken, resulting in a scene of a chicken exploding into a thousand pieces due to the impact of the shotgun. ISIS GIF with Audio. My understanding is that this refers to a GIF showing several clips of executions carried out by the terrorist group ISIS with Islamic music playing in the background. And that's pretty much it . In the Iceberg, this GIF is marked... as lost. GF of people who took their own lives. Now we enter one of the most delicate categories of the video. People who unfortunately made this decision and who also decided to do so during a live broadcast. These fragments would circulate on the internet with some sharing them with the intention of impacting other users. Below I will mention the cases that are present in the tip of the iceberg. Robert Budier was an American politician who served as treasurer of the state of Pennsylvania from 1981 to 1987. During those years he was found guilty of corruption and accepting bribes from a company to which he had awarded the task of returning improperly collected taxes to the public, among other charges. The politician would always vehemently deny these accusations. However, his sentencing was already scheduled for January 23, 1987, but the day before he called a press conference at the Pennsylvania State Capitol, where he would speak about the trial he faced, proclaiming his innocence, but unexpectedly, he pulled out a revolver which he placed in his hand. He put his mouth to his head and, in front of the cameras, pulled the trigger, ending his life. The event was widely reported in the media, and years later, the video of this incident became a disturbing and well-known clip on the internet. 1444. This is the title of a video that became known years ago, showing Glet Corablov, an 18-year-old Russian man, who on October 17, 2019, during a live broadcast on a Russian social network called VK, appears sitting on a sofa. He points an AK-47 at his head and pulls the trigger without saying a few words of farewell. It is unknown for certain why he did this, but this clip was shared on YouTube under the title 1444 to avoid the platform's filters . Ronnie Magnut. Ronnie Magnut is the name of a US Army veteran who, on August 31, 2020, broadcast live on Facebook for more than an hour, appearing despondent and speaking about how he no longer... His life had meaning , holding a rifle. Despite this, Facebook didn't cut the broadcast, and as it continued, Magnub's phone rang frequently. The call was from his ex-girlfriend, with whom he had a brief argument when he answered. After that, Magnub took the weapon and addressed the audience, saying that was it, and pointed the rifle under his chin, shooting himself. And although it seems incredible, after the incident, Facebook took more than two hours to remove the live stream, enough time for many users to download it and then upload the moment of the shooting to other sites like YouTube. Generally, this case, along with that of Glet Corablov, is mentioned together because their deaths were widely discussed at the time, even with troll users who used the clip where they both took their own lives as bait. Shuaviam is the name of an 18-year-old Pakistani- American who lived in California. On March 14, 2018, Xuabi was broadcasting on He went live on his YouTube channel for 50 minutes, chatting with friends on Discord, until he posted farewell notes addressed to his mother and the Forchan board called R9K. This board was a place he frequented because it's a space for lonely and maladjusted people to discuss their life experiences and everyday problems. On this board, Aslam had mentioned many things: that he was a fan of anime and video games, that he suffered from depression, and that he had autism. He also had conflicts with his mother about school; she told him that if he didn't want to study, he should get a job. But Aslam didn't like working either and just wanted to hang out with his friends online. He even mentioned on the same board that he'd like to do a macro at school and admitted that his idol was Eliot Roger. Aslam said he couldn't go on living like this anymore, so he planned to take his own life and have it remembered. As I mentioned earlier, he went live on his channel... On YouTube, after showing his farewell notes, he pulled out a shotgun and pointed it at his head before doing what you might expect. Following this, YouTube deleted the live stream and his channel. However, the clip of that moment was shared all over the internet, including on the forchan forum he frequented. Joy Lane. Steve Stepens is the name of a man who, after breaking up with his ex-girlfriend on April 16, 2017, went live on Facebook walking through the streets of Ohio until he encountered a 74-year-old man named Robert Godwin. He pointed a gun at Godwin's head and ordered him to say the name of his ex-girlfriend, John Lane. He then shot him point-blank, and the entire incident was recorded live. Stepens explained that he did it because of his ex-girlfriend for breaking up with him. The recording was uploaded to his Facebook account. This quickly caught the attention of the media and the authorities, who pursued his capture. But when he was cornered by the police, he A man pulled out a gun and ended his life. Some fragments of his live stream were shared online as GIFs, including the moment he shot Robert Godwin. Shovel Doc is a particularly cruel GIF. It comes from an animal abuse video from the mid-2010s, showing a dog lying on the ground in front of a wall. A man then brutally beats the dog with a shovel , leaving it paralyzed and bleeding until the man kills it. The video circulated on various sites like Forchan, Reddit, and, of course, gore sites, becoming a well-known example of animal cruelty. It's considered a word you shouldn't search on Google, because if you did and went to the images section, the GIF of the dog being beaten with the shovel would appear. Arm Snap refers to clips showing accidents in arm wrestling competitions where one of the participants suffers a broken arm due to excessive force . These types of injuries are truly painful to watch. Ketma.net Years ago, a shocking website called ketma.net, or simply Ketma, became known. Similar to the Agar website, and others of its kind, clicking the link would display a disturbing GIF with a background image of a dog hanging and skinned, while the site played a GIF of a man inserting a large industrial screw into his urethra, accompanied by a loud, grating sound. The site was created in April 2019 by the user Second, who included a warning that it contained dark humor for adults, asking if the viewer wished to continue. Clicking on the warning would then display the aforementioned images. According to the Scamer Wiki, before March 13, 2020, the website used various other shocking images, which I prefer not to describe. By February 16, 2022, the site was shut down by its creator, who stated that it had fulfilled its purpose, which was... Seeing how a striking website can spread worldwide without an advertising budget on the modern internet, and encouraging users to create their own websites to replace their own. Offended page of the Dramatic Encyclopedia. The Dramatic Encyclopedia hosts a site called Offended, created in 2007. Already characterized by its raw, provocative, and offensive humor, this site is designed to shock the viewer, acting as bait for users, since upon entering it... The title of offended prompts the user to scroll slowly through the site. Initially, it had a different presentation, showing a gif of the Wikipedia logo, the Star of David, a cross with a drop of blood, and a swastika. If you scroll down the site, you'll find super cute pictures of kittens, among other animals, and if you keep scrolling down, well, you'll find the worst. A number of unpleasant images and gifs that I'd rather not describe. The Scamer Wiki, in its section dedicated to this site, describes all the shocking content you can find there. A very extensive list of shock material. They even tell you what's after all this visual torture. This list also includes descriptions of some topics that also appear in these final levels of the iceberg, which also omit describing them. Level eight. Do not read the text in yellow. As usual, in a subreddit, a user recounted his experience of how at age 9 he came across a very strange gif. As he recalls, the gif was at least 3 seconds long. This showed a close-up of a woman's face, and as if she were screaming in agony, her mouth opened unnaturally. According to the user, the image tone changed to a blue hue. Then, at the top, a sign appeared that said, "Do not read the yellow text." Right at the bottom there was a yellow banner. And what did the text say? The user doesn't remember why, when he saw the phrase in yellow, his body shook for a fraction of a second. He describes the event as if he were having a seizure or a heart attack, but clarifies that he had no history of epilepsy. This effect is most likely due to other factors, because thinking that a gif could have a negative effect on the body, if it does not have flashing colors and rapid flashes, is unlikely. The user did not provide details on which website he found the faucet, as he himself has not been able to find it since he first saw it. In the comments, users have tried to help him find this GIF, but they couldn't find anything that resembles what he remembers. Greeningel. Greeningel is the name of a gif that shows a cat in a St. Patrick's Day costume for a few seconds. Then images of Almasia of Agil are shown, a figure in Islam similar to the antichrist of that religion. After this, a cat was shown being burned in a field at night. This Grif, the creator of Lisberg, mentions that he and his friend found it on a Japanese image forum in March 2025, as well as on Twitter/x, where it was posted by an Arabic account which publishes some strange messages. He and his friend suspect that the content originated from a private Arab network, an unnatural Arab group , dedicated to animal abuse or sadistic content. They assume that these GIFs are posted around St. Patrick's Day and are designed to evade the platform's detectors. So far, they don't know the purpose of this Arabic account. B.
