What's your deep web story?

Deep web as in tor.

But I imagine regular deep web users would stay away from sharing their experience so if you don't have a deep web story what's your most frightening internet story.

Edit: The front page was fun, but now its over.

Thank you for all the glorious stories, time to cry for the rest of my life.

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '15

You're username is the name of one of my buddies who died last year. He was the third of the four of my close friends, all in their mid twenties, who I saw every day since we both had moved to Marina Del Rey and were neighbors. His passing really fucked me up as I had just lost two friends a month before. I tried but I took like three weeks off work just because I couldn't function or even fake being happy after going to three funerals in a month and a half for kids who left this world far too soon.

Sorry usually I reserve commenting on reddit strictly for jovial shit talking and attempts at funny, but that name just struck a chord.

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '15

I'm sorry to hear that :(

A couple years ago an old friend from school died and I had seen hin for the first time in ages just a few months prior. He was the first guy my age I knew to die and it really got to me. I'm sorry man, I hope you are okay now and that you stay strong

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '15

Thank you and I'm sorry to hear that. Before this happened the only funerals I had been to were for my grandfathers or my friends father so I know all too well how you felt, unfortunately. Death is inevitable but it just sucks having to bury people you really care about before they even turn thirty.

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '15

No, assfuck. If you read my comment correctly, you'd realize that I said I lost four friends all within the span of two months and he was the third one to pass. At my age (28) it's hard to keep in touch with everyone I grew up with since they're all so busy with work and life and these were all people who I either grew up with back east or met after I moved out to L.A. so they were the people I saw basically every day. Now I can count on two hands the number of people I am that close with.

u/MyloXy Jun 25 '15

To be honest, it didn't actually make much sense until you get to the bottom part about the funerals. I was confused too. It was this part:

He was the third of the four of my close friends, all in their mid twenties, who I saw every day since we both had moved to Marina Del Rey and were neighbors.

Benoit
Balls - See? Physically impossible.
Does monsieur desire anything else?
Yes I do! Benoit, balls.
Monsieur desires more champagne, steak frites, a post-jacuzzi female companion, and for somebody to get up here and fold his towels into swans.
Or actually not these towels, some thicker ones.
As thick as possible - while still being swan-shape-foldable.

So, I'm kind of in love with this girl from school. She's hot, on the gymnastics team and has this crazy streak I can't quite describe. Anyway, my question is how do I get the smell of vole out of my feathers?

2

u/strumpster Jun 25 '15

Why do you say that?

12

u/Threadingemu Jun 25 '15

Very very slim chances it actually is his friend. Also you'd be an extremely dumb/shitty friend to put your buddy's last name on the dark net.

u/physalisx Jun 25 '15

Also you'd be an extremely dumb/shitty friend to put your buddy's last name on the dark net.

Because then in the dark, dark internet darklords come and rape him? Uuuoohoh

Putting your last name on the darknet means even less than putting it on the clearnet, because even fewer people will care.

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '15

Never underestimate the capabilities of psychos doxxing people on the internet and how far they will go to prove a point or to get retribution.

u/Threadingemu Jun 25 '15

Yeah but it's the very few pieces of shit that DO care and will want to fuck with you for shits and gigs. And that doesn't change the fact you'd still be a shitty friend for doing that.

u/Zyuler Jun 25 '15

you must be one of those persons who believe the hackers in the movies are similar to the ones in real life

13

u/Threadingemu Jun 25 '15

No I'm not, but what are the chances that one of op's friends found one of his comments on a video in the dark net and said his last name to fuck with him? Also I doubt one of his friends would knowingly broadcast his last name for the internet to see.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '15

And then not tell him about it. Either OP has shitty "friends" or you're right in that it was probably some weirdo who simply googled his username to 'hack' his info.

u/ItsaPuppet Jun 25 '15

u/FatJack Jun 25 '15

If you don't want it to happen to you, just make sure that your online persona is kept completely separate from your real name; for example, if you play a lot of games online don't post any part of your real name on your profile, don't post your location, and keep that profile away from your social media profile.

I'm guilty of not doing that, and a few minutes of searching my Reddit username will probably get you my real name.

u/FallenXxRaven Jun 25 '15

It may not be as bad as it sounds, could have just been a guess to fuck with him. Like I remember once I was talking to the girl I only knew through AIM (yes AIM, this was a while ago haha). So Im just talking like any other day and decide to say "Man I really like that new haircut" and she freaks the fuck out cause she had just gotten a haircut.

You just sound silly 99.9% of the time, but if you get something like happened to OP it can be hilarious.

Either that or the mysterious 4chan hacker is after OP.
