The worst thing I've ever seen was a girl whose eyes were being gouged out. I'll never click on a link again without thinking twice

I didn’t see it, but the most heartbreaking thing that happened to me on the internet was finding out my friend across the country killed himself.

We met on the big mountain in the middle of Un Goro Crater in wow. I was a rogue trying to kill an elite and kept dying. He was a warrior who saw me and asked to group. We became friends outside of wow and chatted on Trillian daily for the next year. Then I noticed he hadn’t been online in a while. After a month, I saw his name pop on and I reached out asking if he was ok. It wasn’t him, it was his sister asking if I knew anything. She told me they found him floating in a river. I never heard anything more than that. It broke my heart.

20 years later and I still miss you buddy. RIP Mysticpimp

There was this video floating around a few years back about a guy singing happy birthday to himself, sitting with a muffin and a single candle. In the middle of the song he pauses and just disappears in thought for a moment, before finishing the song. It's sad as hell.

That fucking video gets me every time.

And finally I grabbed it and put it all the way in his mouth, right?
