10 Freaky Things No One Should Ever Google

I don't know if it's just me, but when someone tells me not to Google something, I immediately do it. It's a sickness, I swear to God. Because I can't think of a single instance where whatever I discovered online after being explicitly warned against looking for it didn't live up to my awful expectations. In other words, when people say not to Google something, they usually have a damn good reason.

So why am I sharing this roundup post of things to never ever Google, knowing full well that some readers are going to Google them anyway, and I will be the one to blame for any subsequent discomfort? Because I am a very, very, very bad person, that's why.

Go ahead. Keep reading ... oh, brave ones ... 

                               ─────────────────────────────────

      1. Trypophobia

         

     Another Google Image term that returns a surprisingly upsetting number of visuals.         Trypohphobia is also known as repetitive pattern phobia, a fear of objects with                 clusters of small holes. What a ridiculous thing to be scared of, who even OH MY           GOD WHAT IS THIS SHIT.

2. Any Medical Symptom

Don't do it. All roads lead directly to cancer.

3. Wet koala

Eventually the Internet will inform you that the viral image of a "wet koala" is in fact fake. But not before you are SCARRED FOR LIFE by the damp, fanged, rage-filled creature someone dreamed up via Photoshop.

4. Skin Condition

Nope, you don't have to be more specific than that -- Google will return a plethora of terrible visuals for you to choose from.

5. Yourself

Either you'll find no proof whatsoever of your existence, or you'll realize just how screwed-up your Internet legacy will be. There's no happy outcome here..

6. Lemon party.

 Theres no telling how the whole lemon party thing caught on but somewhere along the line it became the thing to trick people into googling. What is it? It’s an orgy of very old men. Why is it called a lemon party? You can use your imagination.

7. Anything criminal

Ok, this one is serious. You may try to look up things like “how to make a bomb“ or ”how to make amphetamines" out of pure interest. However, keep in mind that security and drug control services always track these kinds of searches, and your IP address can appear in such a database. You don’t want to get in trouble because of your curiosity, do you?

8. Smokers’ lungs

Many of us smoke, and from time to time we think about the harm smoking does, especially to our lungs. The web is full of images of the abnormal lungs of heavy smokers, which you could possibly take too seriously and freak out. You can, of course, try googling this if you need a strong motivation for quitting, but it’s better not to...

9. Your name

It’s not a big secret that in the era of the internet our privacy is greatly questioned. If you try to google your name, most probably you will stumble upon some unpleasant results. Bad photos of you, outdated information, irrelevant content — we take such things way too seriously. If you find something like this, you’ll want to delete it all. However, that’s not a simple thing to do. Maybe we should take it easy? Or simply don’t google it.

10. Dangerous animals

Please, stay away from such a list unless you want to acquire new phobias. There are a lot of really terrifying animals on our planet, and some of them will probably turn out to be in your region. Moreover, such a phobia may discourage you from traveling. You don’t want that to happen, right?

However, instead of looking for the unpleasant things in this list, you can always have fun with Google. Just try searching for anything starting with “why,“ ”how," “do,” etc. The most popular searches will show up, and you will be surprised by what many people are interested in. Enjoy!
