Yeah, and it's about to be 2 deep 4 him.

And shattered glass 😱

What is the TV's shadow? It seems like a pair of legs standing on a box and a small floating rectangle.

The book, meanwhile, looks like a convoluted mess. Crashing spaceship, T-Rex/Godzilla, and what might be Dracula's castle. If there's a coherent story in this, I have got to read it. Book title? :P

I can't believe no one in the comments has told you yet. I want to tell you because I just learned about it last week! It's horrible! A man in Russia, only legs & feet in the camera frame, squatted over an empty glass jelly jar with the lid on it, tons of lubrication, and he kept going until the entire jar was fully inserted in his rectum.

Then you can hear an explosion sound. But it was an implosion sound. It was the sound of the jar being crushed & glass shattered inside of him. The man didn't make a sound. Complete stoic silence which lends more creepiness to the video.

Then we see tons of blood dripping out of him, down his legs, all over the floor. The man starts manually digging glass chunks out of his asshole. That's all I remember. I never actually watched the video myself but that's the description.

Follow up: he never went to the doctor for this injury because he says he didn't want to deal with the embarrassment. He had some scarring. He says he healed within a couple weeks. He says he has no regrets. He makes tons of fringe kink videos, this was apparently nothing unusual for him. But he waited until the event was far enough in the past before he posted the video online, over a year after it happened. It happened in August a few years ago. He posted it in December a year and a half later.

This wasn't "a few years ago". It was probably closer to 15 or 20 years ago. I remember watching it in college.

That being said, the description you gave is accurate. I've only seen it once, and that is exactly what is burned into my memory. Also the taste of Disaronno because that was the only bottle I'd snuck in, and I needed something to drink.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

It was around the same time as 2 girls 1 cup IIRC

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

This is like actually worse than just watching it, you're a master storyteller.

[–] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ah thank you, I wish I could direct you to the original source I got that from, THEY were epic master storyteller because what I gave was my own version from memory of what they wrote. I think it was an article on vice dot com or some similar publication.

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you! That text description is more than enough for me. Expertly told.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 12 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

After reading this and the replies, I am legitimately not sure if this is a joke or not. I'm not going to go try to find out, but if this is a joke, this is an absolute master class. Bravo.

Very real yes and a very commonly mentioned piece of internet history

[–] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's absolutely true. I am not clever enough to make up fiction.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's unfortunately real.

IIRC, didn't he sort of shift his weight and the corner of the jar hit the ground and that's what made it break?

I'm not going to find it and watch it again, but that's what I recall from never unseeing that more than a decade ago.

[–] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Ah you actually saw the video. Thank you. The jar breaking from contact with the floor sounds a lot better than it breaking completely inside of him 😬

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh it broke inside him alright. The jar was over halfway inserted.

The TV's shadow has been edited to a still from an old shock-gore vid, "1 man 1 jar". I don't recommend looking it up.

[–] amlor@piefed.social 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What is the TV's shadow?

E: I agree though that when a book clicks it paints a picture far more vivid than a screen ever could.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Too deep, without a safe recovery plan in case of failure.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 weeks ago

I used to get so mad when I'd see a book get made into a movie or picture book and it was always a very realistic interpretations of the world and in my head it was far more extreme and colorful. I remember seeing the drawings for 'a far away tree' and thinking wtf it's not just a regular tree it's supposed to be magical.

Dunno man. TV just seems like plays in the magic frame.

Also things you watch spark the imagination if it's a good piece of art

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

your talk about art sparking the imagination tells me you don't see two legs and a jar in the tv shadow.

...or maybe you do, who am i to judge.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, I wasn't commenting on what on the wall. More about the perception of the media. But I think you know that.

"How I spend my leisure time is superior to how you spend your leisure time."

As though trash books and thought-provoking television don't exist.

Edit: oh wait... I see the actual joke. Thought-provoking television indeed.

ITT: People who need to take a closer look lol

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah, that T. rex in the book is clearly about to do something terrible.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Its actually so much funnier watching people compare the "blandness" of the TV to the book lmao.

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'll admit I didn't know what the shadow from the TV was until I read the comments. I went back to change my downvote to an upvote

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

Unless you have aphantasia, in which case books are either just text or very limited images.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

Tv can lead to imagination and books can leave no lasting impression.

However in recent years I've taken more to books because video programmes seem to be getting dumber.

[–] JimFox@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago

...and the jar breaks... oO

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The theater of my mind is not that great unfortunately

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

For a second my ingenious mind suggest me he was watching soccer. Then internet clicked in.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

I can do both.

As an artist, a good movie or videogame can get my mind racing with cool ideas to draw or model.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Heh...yeah...that sound of the jar breaking will haunt me for the rest of my days.

[–] Batmancer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thank you. I was having trouble identifying the shadow of the tv.
