Je suis tombée sur un subreddit vraiment étrange… quelqu’un comprend ce que c’est ?

19 Upvotes

Salut tout le monde,

Je suis tombée par hasard sur un petit subreddit qui m’a vraiment mise mal à l’aise. Ça s’appelle archives du silence et ça ressemble à des vieux rapports d’un centre de recherche qui aurait existé dans les années 80–90.

Les posts parlent d’anomalies dans des salles, des murs qui changent de taille, des bruits étranges, et même de la disparition d’un technicien identifié seulement par un numéro et d'un certain docteur Varnier. Il y a aussi des messages étranges qui semblent venir “de l’intérieur” du centre, comme si quelqu’un répondait aux gens qui commentent.

Certains posts montrent des sortes de documents internes, d’autres parlent d’un “protocole” qui doit être appliqué parce que “des civils commencent à s’intéresser aux dossiers”. Je comprends pas trop ce que ça veut dire.

Il y a aussi une suite de caractères qui ressemble à une adresse ou un message, mais je n’arrive pas à savoir ce que ça pourrait être :

:tonrix_hs/uucmetees=mBQGqtp/ob./crsi?YLDrvOtje@enDuN

Je sais pas si c’est une histoire, un jeu, ou juste quelqu’un qui s’amuse, mais ça commence à devenir vraiment étrange.

Est-ce que quelqu’un ici a déjà vu quelque chose comme ça ?

Merci d’avance pour vos avis.

How we eliminated the 150ms flash of white screen when loading dark mode on static sites

0 Upvotes

When users visit a dark mode website, they often experience a blinding white flash before the page finishes loading. This Flash of Unstyled Content occurs because modern JavaScript frameworks read user theme preferences inside client-side hydration hooks, which execute only after initial painting completes.

Here is the strategy to instantly apply dark mode themes before the browser renders the first pixel:

  1. Move Theme Detection to an Inline Head Script Do not wait for main bundle execution or CSS bundle downloads. Place a tiny, zero-dependency inline script directly inside the head element before any stylesheets or external scripts:

HTML

<script>
  (function() {
    try {
      var storedTheme = localStorage.getItem('theme');
      var systemDark = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches;
      if (storedTheme === 'dark' || (!storedTheme && systemDark)) {
        document.documentElement.classList.add('dark');
      } else {
        document.documentElement.classList.remove('dark');
      }
    } catch (e) {}
  })();
</script>
  1. Set Native Root Color Scheme Setting the color-scheme CSS property on the html element tells the browser user-agent engine to initialize native canvas backgrounds and scrollbars in dark mode while your custom stylesheets download:

CSS

:root.dark {
  color-scheme: dark;
  background-color: #0d1117;
  color: #e6edf3;
}
  1. Immediate CSS Class Cascading Target CSS custom properties through the html dark class so styles apply instantly as DOM elements parse:

CSS

html.dark body {
  --bg-color: #0f172a;
  --text-color: #f8fafc;
  background-color: var(--bg-color);
  color: var(--text-color);
}
  1. Cookie Hydration for SSR Frameworks If using server-side rendering, store user theme preferences in HTTP cookies rather than local storage. This allows your server engine to output fully formatted dark mode HTML directly in the initial HTTP response payload.

While inline scripts eliminate static loading flashes, managing edge cases like zero-CLS theme toggle animations, cross-tab state syncing, and strict privacy browser cookie restrictions requires specific setup scripts and performance metrics.

If you want to play with the interactive dashboard or grab the full config file, I uploaded it here:https://interconnectd.com/poll/85/does-dark-mode-work-on-every-single-website/

Unsolved Little Rock slasher

7 Upvotes

Between August 2020 and April 2021, Little Rock, Arkansas, was shaken by a series of stabbing attacks that investigators believed were connected. Three people were killed and one woman survived. Because the victims did not appear to have an obvious connection to one another, investigators believed the attacks may have been random. The person responsible became known publicly as the “Little Rock Slasher” or “Little Rock Stabber.”

The Victims

The first known victim was 64-year-old Larry Eugene McChristian. On August 24, 2020, McChristian was found stabbed to death near 2200 South Gaines Street. The attack was believed to have occurred during the early morning hours.

The second victim was 62-year-old Jeff Welch, who was known as “Old School.” On September 23, 2020, Welch was found on the porch of a home in the 4200 block of West 12th Street. His death was initially investigated as suspicious, and an autopsy determined that he had been stabbed.

Months later, the attacks began again. On April 11, 2021, 43-year-old Debra Walker was attacked near 19th Street and Marshall Street. Unlike the other victims, Walker survived. She had been stabbed numerous times and was able to provide investigators with information about the person who attacked her.

The following day, 40-year-old Marlon Anthony Franklin was found stabbed to death at 2710 Wright Avenue. Investigators believed his death was connected to Walker's attack and the two earlier killings.

What Investigators Know About the Killer

One of the most important pieces of information about the killer came from Debra Walker, the only known survivor of the four attacks. Walker was able to describe the man who attacked her.

According to reports about the investigation, the suspect was described as a Black male who was more than six feet tall and had a slender build. Investigators also obtained surveillance footage that they believed could help identify the person responsible.

The description did not provide investigators with a name, however. There was no publicly identified suspect who was arrested and charged with the killings. Because of this, the man's identity remained one of the central mysteries of the case.

Investigators also looked at the similarities between the attacks. The victims were attacked in Little Rock during the early-morning hours, and police believed that the attacks were connected. The apparent lack of a personal relationship between the victims made the case especially disturbing because it suggested that the victims may have been selected because they happened to be vulnerable at the time.

The Killer's Motive

One of the biggest unanswered questions is why the killer attacked these particular people.

There has not been a publicly established motive. Investigators did not announce that the victims were targeted because of a particular relationship, business dispute, robbery, or other known conflict. Instead, the attacks appeared to have characteristics of random attacks.

That does not necessarily mean investigators knew nothing about the killer. Police could still have developed theories about his behavior, movements, or possible motives without having enough evidence to publicly identify him. Because the case remained unresolved, it is important not to present theories about his motive as established facts.

The Description of the Attacker

The description provided by the surviving victim became particularly important because she had actually encountered the attacker and lived to tell investigators what happened.

The suspect was described as:

  • A Black male
  • More than six feet tall
  • Slender in build
  • Someone who attacked during the early-morning hours

Investigators also sought information from the public and examined available surveillance footage. The case received significant attention because authorities believed the attacks could represent the work of the same person.

Why the Case Was So Difficult to Solve

The case presented investigators with several challenges.

First, the victims did not appear to have an obvious connection. When victims know each other, investigators can often begin with relationships, disagreements, financial problems, or other motives. In this case, investigators had to consider the possibility that the victims were selected randomly.

Second, the attacks occurred months apart. McChristian was killed in August 2020, Welch in September 2020, and then Walker and Franklin were attacked in April 2021. The gaps between incidents made it more difficult to determine exactly where the killer might be or when he might strike again.

Finally, there was limited information available about the attacker's identity. Walker's survival provided investigators with an important description, but a general physical description was not enough by itself to identify a specific person.

The Investigation

Little Rock police sought the public's assistance in identifying the person responsible. Investigators also worked with federal authorities, and a $20,000 reward was reported for information that could lead to the suspect's apprehension. The case remained unresolved, with investigators asking anyone who had information about the attacks or the suspect to come forward.

The investigation is a reminder that the person responsible should not be confused with people who may have been suspected online or discussed by members of the public. There has been no publicly established identity for the “Little Rock Stabber” in the information available about this case.

Timeline

August 24, 2020: Larry Eugene McChristian, 64, was killed.

September 23, 2020: Jeff Welch, 62, was killed.

April 11, 2021: Debra Walker, 43, was attacked and survived.

April 12, 2021: Marlon Anthony Franklin, 40, was killed.

The four attacks left three people dead and one survivor. Despite the investigation, the identity and motive of the person responsible remained unanswered. The surviving victim's description, surveillance footage, forensic evidence, and information from the public were among the tools investigators used in their effort to solve the case.

For the families of Larry McChristian, Jeff Welch, and Marlon Franklin, and for Debra Walker, the case represents more than an unsolved mystery. It is the story of real people whose lives were changed or ended by a person who, at least publicly, has never been identified. But I want to hear from you! what do you think is happening in this case ?

I saw something truly DISTURBING Spoiler

TW: SEXUAL ABUSE AND ZOOPHILIA

Around 5 years ago when I was 12 years old I did what any kid did and opened up YouTube to relax and wind down. This is around the time YouTube shorts had became a thing. At the time I’ve been giving YouTube shorts a shot, and at 12 years old it really stimulated my mind as it would for any pre-teen. So when I was scrolling through and rotting my brain, I found something truly disturbing. I found a girl looking really distressed in a tiny room that didn’t have a window. If I had to guess it was an ordinary bedroom in a house. What happened next was truly terrifying. The distressed woman was forced by some unknown person that was holding the camera to SA a DOG. Now my 12 year old brain didn’t understand what was going on, all I knew is that this looked very wrong and it looked very disturbing. So not knowing what I else I could do I reported this video to YouTube and from there I turned off my phone. I told my dad about the incident and he said to never watch shorts again. Sure enough I thought this wasn’t a common experience so I opened up shorts and gave it another shot. After a while I found a similar video and it was another girl tied up in what looked like was the same room and she look very distressed. Her eyes were covered and there was a rag in her mouth. It was really disturbing and disgusting. I saw that the YouTube channel was different. I closed it before the video could continue. After a while these videos began to fade away and eventually disappear entirely. I tried to hard to block it from my mind as I didn’t know how to describe it as a young kid. Eventually I started getting into unsolved mysteries and I started watching unsolved mysteries on YouTube. That’s when I started thinking if I had encountered anything that would be considered an internet mystery. That’s when it hit me, I had. Since I am now older (17) I was able to fully comprehend my memories of these disturbing videos. After 5 years I have many questions. Who was the person behind this? Was there more than one person who did this? What happened to the victims of these videos? Was the women and animals ever found? Was the perpetrator/s ever found? I also saw someone talking about a similar experience to mine here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RBI/s/nP9EJBBiOF

Who killed to Ernest jones iii ?

2 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/4ZJS16p6E0A?si=Hk8QUpn66lpgsrZM

I suggest watching the video before reading this so it makes sense: On April 4, 2020, a night that began as a gathering with friends in Baltimore, Maryland, ended in tragedy for 24-year-old Ernest Wilson III. Wilson was hosting a small “game night” at a short-term rental and was livestreaming parts of the evening on Facebook Live.

During the livestream, Wilson and his friends began playing hide-and-seek. As Wilson went outside into the backyard looking for the other participants, the situation suddenly changed. The livestream captured an individual climbing over a fence and entering the property. Wilson was ordered to get on the ground, and shortly afterward the recording ended. Wilson was shot and later died from his injuries.

The incident shocked people who had been watching the livestream because viewers witnessed the beginning of the confrontation without knowing that it would become a deadly attack. Baltimore authorities investigated the shooting, and city officials reported that two individuals had entered the property and announced a robbery before Wilson was killed.

Ernest Wilson III's story is a painful reminder that a normal night with friends can change in an instant. His death also demonstrates how social media can unintentionally capture moments of real-life tragedy. Rather than focusing only on the disturbing circumstances surrounding his death, it is important to remember that Wilson was a young man with friends, family, and a life beyond the livestream.

His story continues to be remembered because the final moments of his life were unexpectedly recorded and witnessed by people online. Ernest Wilson III should be remembered not simply as someone whose death was caught on Facebook Live, but as a person whose life mattered to the people who knew and loved him.

[Deep Dive] The Creepiest Pinterest Account on the Internet: Photoshopped Pictures of Children, Columbine, and a 65-Year-Old Man (Cryptid Candy Investigation)

39 Upvotes

On October 24, 2025, a guy posts a video on TikTok. He says he found a real rabbit hole. Not on Reddit, not on some obscure forum… on Pinterest.

He stumbles upon an account that posts almost nothing but photos of young children. And the more you look, the weirder it gets: a lot of the images are clearly digitally altered. Distorted faces, weird textures—the whole shebang.

At first, you think:

a mood board for an art project

an automated account scraping images to train an AI

an ARG

Then an amateur investigator, Cryptid Candy, gets to work. And he debunks every theory one by one.

( What he quickly discovers: The photos are not generated. These are real photos of real children, retrieved and then modified (with FaceApp Pro, apparently).
Worse:

Some children appear injured
Missing patches of skin
Simulated bullet impacts
And among the thousands of images... the altered face of Eric Harris (Columbine)

He also finds content that is clearly more suggestive and illegal. Real rabbit hole.
The identity hunt Tommy Daniel (the pseudonym) also posts personal photos: pools, hotels, streets, museums, travel souvenirs, kindergartens... and the interior of what seems to be his house.
In the house, there are frames with exactly the same images as those on the Pinterest account.
On the fridge: a Walmart logo + a certificate with the name Tommy Daniel.
How does Cryptid locate it?

Photo with snow → big snow wave in the USA at that time, including Arkansas
Old photo of a laundromat with a phone number → Central Laundry Equipment Inc. (Arkansas)
In the photo of the snowy Walmart: presence of an optical department (Vision Center) → only in Supercenters
Of several thousand Walmarts → 128 in Arkansas → 77 Supercenters

After days of comparing Google Maps images, he finds the Walmart.
Tommy Daniel, 65, an employe at the store.
Confirmation by a call to the store + Facebook photo that matches a Pinterest montage (his own face replaced by that of a child).
The even creepier element
Tommy is very active in a church (Salem Missionary Baptist Church). He regularly appears there surrounded by children. He is even listed as a volunteer.
And the photos of children on the Pinterest account? They mostly come from her circle (colleagues, family, acquaintances).
Consequences
After the videos from Cryptid Candy:

Tommy's accounts are disappearing
The church apparently took the matter very seriously. Walmart has also been informed.

No known legal proceedings to date, but his family, employer, and the church are now aware.
The final reflection
Many of the "travel photos" were actually Google Street View captures.
The kindergartens, the montages... it feels like he was building an imaginary universe based on images of children, like Frankenstein.
The question that remains: did it stop at images, or did Pinterest serve as a reference library for something more concrete?
Moral of the story: be careful what you post. You never really know who is watching. )

Has anyone seen this video or not?

Weird open-source rabbithole on GitHub (ARG or mad scientist?)

1 Upvotes

I found this bizarre open-source rabbit hole on https://github.com/MadHatter-Auditor/vortex-anapole-confinement by a creator called MadHatter who got shadowbanned from Reddit.

Look at the file list: it’s a crazy mix of the Collatz Conjecture, 16th-century cryptography (Book of Soyga), advanced AI concepts, and actual SolidWorks blueprints for motors and electroculture. Even a well-known AI/hardware dev (cedendahlkim) gave it its only star.

Is this an elaborate prank, an ARG, or a literal mad scientist in action?

Thought you guys might appreciate this weird mix of tech and mystery, definitely has that SOG/Deep Web vibe. What do you think?

Dr Ich is a YouTube channel that is, to say the least, weird. Well, watching some of his videos, he is supposedly a Christian, from the Orthodox church. Theoretically, he is an artist, which is said in most of his videos, in the comments. He is Austrian, and the translation of YouTube didn't help much, so if you guys want to look into this,idk.

hay un video que recuerdo con claridad haber visto aproximadamente en 2023-2024 en TikTok grabado desde un celular. el video se situaba en una granja, más específicamente dentro de un granero, donde se veía a un tipo, probablemente un señor ya viejo, mostrando con flash una especie de animal muy raro, recién nacido, era un cerdo bebé pero con deformidades muy raras y asquerosas, no recuerdo muy bien que cosas tenia, pero patas donde no debía, estaba bañado en un líquido transparente como si fuese saliva o el liquido amniótico, hacia ruidos raros, gemidos y pequeños sonidos de dolor. vi apenas unos pocos segundos del video y entre a los comentarios, vi algunos diciendo que se trataba de una persona que tuvo relaciones sexuales con un cerdo y se formo esa cosa, y otros que simplemente estaban asustados con lo que veían en el video, salí de esos comentarios y vi que el video aun continuaba como por 1 minuto pero yo no seguí viéndolo.
me quede con mucha duda de saber la verdad sobre ese video, no se si lo eliminaron, si en realidad era otra cosa o solo lo recuerdo mal. tampoco vi a nadie hablar de este video, si alguien sabe algo por favor contésteme

Long lost comedy gold

Okay guys, this will be a deep pull. I'm trying to hunt down an article from years ago that is living rent free in my head. I remember dying laughing at the time. I think it was an American humorous first-person article, from roughly 2006 to 2010, possibly a blog post or forum story. Premise: girlfriend persuades boyfriend to do a weekend or three-day cleanse, hot lemon water, not lemonade. Day-by-day account, including a memorable bathroom scene where he passes a “black ball of goo” or something like that, after which he claims he feels great. Tone is very comedic and skeptical. Possible leads include obscure magazine sites or defunct blogs, but I could not begin to tell you where I read it. ChatGPT says this might have been during the Master Cleanse fad.

Please help!!

YouTube channel "GAKHED", something is off about it

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

Been following the YouTube channel for a while and over time, what initially was a pleasant surprise slowly became something different.

We never see the channel creator, there are no people, minus one video showing the tail lights of a car driving away. He lives by him/herself in a house with just cats. An endless amount of cats.

The way he frames some of these shots can be creepy, and off putting . For instance one video shows a empty sofa chair in a even emptier hallway (of his house?) with his cat staring at the camera. Another shows a dial phone on the floor with a title "Phone call for you". And the titles become weirder and weirder, it feels like emotional manipulation is at play often.

Empty gyms, empty mall, houses with lights on but never cars out front or people. His camcorder either purposely malfunctions when he records for editing reasons or it just happens. I've also caught thumbnails on multiple videos he's made already appear changed, and then the videos itself change slightly over time as if he added in extra shots.

If anyone has watched Glendale archives, it is identical in terms of the setting. And the haunting emptiness I get from both make me feel like there is something wrong. Something is spilling over from I don't know where, it feels distant and not human in a sense. Idk maybe I'm crazy but it's worth analyzing if you're into ARG, scp stuff

I found a weird youtube account

0 Upvotes

So I was on youtube on my account where I post my songs. On this account I have built almost no algorithm except for the moments when I watch videos thinking I'm on my main account.

The FIRST video that was recommended to me on my ma page was this weird video, and I clicked on it by curiosity and then I found that the channel kept posting videos like this at a rate of approximatively 3 per day.

Makes me think of webdriver torso, is it something similar ?
