r/morbidquestions

The topic came up when I was walking to the convenience store with my friend when I smelled something dead. Both of us smelled it and I said, "It's probably just a dead animal right?" He said it definitely was because dead humans smell much worse. He said it was the worst thing he's ever smelled, saying it was like a mix of sulphur, rotting flesh, and excrement.

My friend is ex-military so he knows about that sort of thing. I trust his what he says on that. That being said, why do dead humans smell worse than dead animals? Is it because of our diet or something else?

I masturbate to gore, female severed heads, dismemberment, and autopsy photos. I just recently been able to start getting off to murder videos on GoreCenter. Did porn really do this to me, or am I just fkd up in the head? How do I get help?

It could be recent or it could be from a century ago, anything that answers the prompt counts.

On July 4, the winner of the Coney Island hot dog eating contest ate 66 hot dogs in the span of ten minutes.

Apparently he’s been in various eating contests since the mid 2000s and trains for contests by gorging himself with milk and protein shakes to stretch his stomach and by practicing with huge amounts of hot dogs grilled at home. It sent me down a whole rabbit hole of other professional competitive eaters.

How does someone eat more than 50 hot dogs in one sitting without getting a heart attack or something? And how does someone regularly compete in contests like that without dying in a few years later from the complications of downing those extreme amounts of food and training for the contests?

Do the organs actually have nerves? Can I feel anything beyond the shock of my torso being torn open? Aside from the psychological horror of seeing my own intestines lit on fire, what do I actually feel?

Like usually Unit 731 would do lethal injections on their victims afterwards and it says getting your skin removed with your organs exposed should kill you anyway but I'm now imagining this scene of a torturer with OCD who sees a victim whose heart is on the left side, gets freaked out and hurriedly rearranges everything to the way it was before.

Damn curious but I can't really ask about surviving a vivisection elsewhere.

As the title says. No, I'm not going to off myself. I'm writing a short story about the throws of mental health. General time frame would be fine. Horizontal, not vertical.

Sorry if this is really fucked up

I've only seen this question answered in relation to male sex offenders but I got thinking, if the offender gives birth do they take the baby off her?

So an online friend of mine recently got doxxed on Twitter/X after being active in fanwars with a certain fandom. The account had no personal info whatsoever,it was fully separate from her main accounts. She thinks someone figured out the email linked to it, but even that wasn’t connected to her name. How would someone even pull that off?

Anytime I see videos or social media posts of her, I see lots of people in the comment sections claiming she defended herself against men trying to s*xually assault her, was there any evidence of this? I know she said it herself but her word can’t be the only thing convincing people that it’s true

I swear to god, if any of you come in here babbling on about this being sick, in the morbid questions sub no less, I will hunt you down. It's actually an extremely common phenomena for sexual abuse victims, especially children, to actually enjoy what happened to them due to not knowing any differently. I can remember reading Billy Connolly's account of the abuse he faced from his father and he said one of the weirdest things that no one ever wants to talk about is the enjoyment of it and the guilt. To your child mind, it's simply "a sensation" and the context of abuse isn't quite there yet.

Obviously when it comes to violent rape or intentional damage then that's a different box of frogs, but I'm not talking about that.

Sometimes I feel like there are STILL aspects of abuse, whether it be domestic, sexual, etc etc that are considered taboo to discuss, and victims can't talk about things without fear of being seen as weak, or disgusting, or embarrassed. So for those of you who enjoyed it, then in hindsight realized what had happened, how has it manifested for you?

Mine is a mundane really, it mostly comes out in the form of anxiety, when I'm anxious my mind associates that with arousal, which in turn manifests as anxiety, and the cycle begins anew.

Not like surface level theories but even the craziest or oddest you believe in, I could read these comments for days.

i live in a small town, which probably makes everything way safer (or does it?) and i just look around and nothing seems dangerous. we have a river with a strong current but that's about it. no tall buildings. where's the danger here? we have a hydro dam, i guess that could be dangerous too. i'm sure there are places you don't want to be at night where you could easily be assaulted too but i'm thinking more environmental dangers. escalators and shit, public stuff that's designed for use but also somehow dangerous if malfunctioning or accessed in an unsafe way.

No AC its 80 something degrees and humid af this is what I'm pondering.

Jellyfish are HORRIFYING on a theological and existential level.

They don't have brains, some don't even have pain receptors or the ability to move of their own accord. They are functionally immortal unless eaten. They envenomate anything they happen to touch with a cocktail of neurotoxins.

This is a matter of opinion but they also vaguely resemble the human nervous system in shape?

They evolved this way over countless millennia.

What could possibly push a creature to the point that its form most able to survive in the environment is unaware, unfeeling, endlessly drifting through time?

This isn't to suggest Christianity is the Only Way (I hold to monolatry myself—¿por qué no los dos?).

But what deity would create the flesh-sack abomination that is the jellyfish other than as a threat?

If someone presses their pointer hard enough into an infant's skull would it pierce through and literally touch their brain and also would the baby die immediately?

Siempre me he preguntado si huelen asqueroso o no
