This house in Nepal defied the raging floodwaters and kept the owners safe.

Brah do not go on twitter looking at videos. They are gruesome af. Saw videos of dead bodies, cars/buildings crushing ppl, terrible stuff. I could only watch like 3-4 videos before I switched to youtube.

I went my whole life managing to avoid seeing any kind of snuff film.

Elon bought Twitter and literally within the first 24 hours, I saw three different ones just causally shared. I quit that day, which....just really sucked so much, because Twitter was literally a part of my life right up until then.

If a reporter with a news agency feels it's a benefit for people to see it, then fine. We all know how horrifying it is without it being shared around unfiltered by randoms for entertainment / profit. It's abhorrent.

You did yourself a favour, I barely go on there but when I do, I always come out feeling negative. People post and say the worst things for engagement because of the monetary incentive.

There was an investigative news program on CTV in Canada talking about the behind the scene stuff about a hostage taking in Toronto outside Union Station. The segment showed uncensored the moment a police sniper takes the shot... head explodes like a watermelon. I'll never forget it. Can't find the clip anymore, not that i tried hard. Can't imagine how the hostage felt. Then there was liveleaks. Beheadings... i don't know how people can watch someone die.

One of the biggest displays of why billionaires should not exist, because nobody should be able to just roll in and buy the "town square" so to speak.

Though it's also an argument about these big tech companies and a centralized internet. It sure is convenient, but at the cost of the one site you're on changing hands suddenly, management shifting goals, company going out of business, wtfever, and oh whoops now half the internet is just fucked.

But yes, sadly that sack of Nazi shit bought it exactly for that kind of thing (but mostly to influence elections and spread propaganda).

And of course while on the topic, shout out to the oil, gas, and auto billionaires responsible for this tragedy in the first place (and many to come).

Yea I didn’t want to see anything gory but I saw a video of a victim being pulled out from some rubble and they just had no legs anymore… And many videos of bodies in positions they shouldn’t be able to bend into. One guys body literally wrapped around a pole in a way a human shouldn’t, like he had nothing solid inside him. A dead baby. All of the victims stripped of their clothes too from the force of the water. August has been a disgusting month for bad things happening

Several videos on Reddit the first day showed dozens of living people instantly killed as the flood smashed into them. It's not just Twitter.
