ITT: Closest times in history reality got to being a horror movie

I don't know if people ate each other in Nanking, but they did during the Great Leap Forward, people were eating mud and the elderly who died

no idea, but there was that one ancient battle in China part of the An Lushan Rebellion...

I heard stories about the digging up of graves but can't remeber if that was for wood or food.

Anything past 1789, we're in literal purgatory at least

probably both, especially if you didn't have a female family member you could whore out to your local cadre

Fuck you now you made me want to watch Men Behind the Sun again

A Canadian serial killer murdered 8 women, chopped them up, and then fed them to his pigs.

Police only found him because one of the slaughtered pigs was found with a human femur stuck in its gut.

Hey get this, slavery in the United States was way worse than any of these isolated meme-incidents of terrible behavior you guys pull from reddit. But I know nobody will bring that up because you had to learn about slavery in high school and it triggers your autism. But really, slavery was really bad and horrible.

>implying slavery in the US was any worse than slavery anywhere else

That said there are definitely some standout examples of horror,

this made my palms sweaty

Did these people actually convince themselves what they were doing was "scientific". This is literally just serial killer shit.

>hey Tojo we got the total war memo you sent, but what do we do with the creepy serial killers? you specifically told us to employ everyone somehow
>make a special unit for them, just fill it with the nutjobs, and ship them Chinese once a week. tell them it's science or something, they'll love it
>isn't that the least ethical thing possible?
>don't worry, they'll be hard at work figuring out even worse things!

The US never trialled them because they deemed their research 'valuable'.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byford_Dolphin#Diving_bell_accident

>Coward, Lucas, and Bergersen were exposed to the effects of explosive decompression and died in the positions indicated by the diagram. Subsequent investigation by forensic pathologists determined Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the 60 centimetres (24 in) in diameter opening created by the jammed interior trunk door by escaping air and violently dismembered, including bisection of the thoracoabdominal cavity which further resulted in expulsion of all internal organs of the chest and abdomen except the trachea and a section of small intestine and of the thoracic spine and projecting them some distance, one section later being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.

lol holy shit

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokaimura_nuclear_accident

>The two technicians who received the higher doses, Ouchi and Shinohara, died several months later. Ouchi suffered serious burns to most of his body, experienced severe damage to his internal organs, and had a near-zero white blood cell count. Shinohara received numerous skin grafts, which were successful, but he ultimately succumbed to infection due to the damage his immune system sustained in the incident.

>Ouchi!

>As his condition worsened, he was transferred to University of Tokyo Hospital and, reportedly, underwent the world’s first transfusion of peripheral stem cells. He was also given many blood transfusions, fluids, and medicine that wasn’t even available in Japan yet. He also had to undergo several skin transplants which couldn’t help the loss of fluids through pores. After being treated for a week, Ouchi managed to say, “I can’t take it any more… I am not a guinea pig”. However, the doctors kept treating him and taking measures to keep him alive, which only ensured a very slow and very painful death.

Japan is fucked up

God damn shocking

>The U.S. Government produced a film about the incident for internal use in the 1960s. The video was subsequently released and can be viewed at The Internet Archive[25] and YouTube.

Man, that doesn't even begin to describe what he must have felt. Not even something like crazy Fentanyl would have helped him at all in that condition. The way he died is about as painful as anything that could possibly happen to someone.

>One of those who entered the premises was Judge Jean-Francois Canonge, who subsequently deposed to having found in the LaLaurie mansion, among others, a "negress ... wearing an iron collar" and "an old negro woman who had received a very deep wound on her head [who was] too weak to be able to walk." Canonge claimed, that when he questioned Madame LaLaurie's husband about the slaves, he was told in an insolent manner that "some people had better stay at home rather than come to others' houses to dictate laws and meddle with other people's business."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eben_Byers

>In 1927, while returning via chartered train from the annual Harvard–Yale football game, Byers fell from his berth and injured his arm. He complained of persistent pain and a doctor suggested that he take Radithor, a patent medicine manufactured by William J. A. Bailey. Bailey was a Harvard University dropout who falsely claimed to be a doctor of medicine and became rich from the sale of Radithor. Bailey created Radithor by dissolving radium in water to high concentrations, claiming it could cure many ailments by stimulating the endocrine system. He offered physicians a 17% rebate on the prescription of each dose of Radithor.

>Byers began taking enormous doses of Radithor, which he believed had greatly improved his health, drinking nearly 1,400 bottles. By 1930, when Byers stopped taking the remedy, he had accumulated significant amounts of radium in his bones resulting in the loss of most of his jaw. Byers' brain was also abscessed, and holes were forming in his skull. His death on March 31, 1932, was attributed to "radiation poisoning" using the terminology of the time, but it was due to cancers, not acute radiation syndrome. He is buried in Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in a lead-lined coffin.

Why is that radiation related stuff is so disturbing and terrifying?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Tanzler

The scientific community at least learned something from all that right? He wasn't kept alive and experimented on just for the hell of it right?

holy fuck, this is like Johnny got his Gun but worse

>slavery in the United States was way worse than any of these isolated meme-incidents

>he hasnt heard of the Brazilian slave trade

youre a little child. Brazil not only had 100 times more slaves, but they basically tortured them for fun on a mass scale. Imagine the wild west in a malaria infested hot as fuck shithole where you not only have to engage in BRUTAL labor, but are subject to frequent Saw tier events for the sole purpose of entertaining your master

>strategic
>T'ang
>Victory

No shit, all chromosomes of his body were completely destroyed, they shattered like glass. When the doctors examined they only saw an unidentifiable mess. Theoretically, in order to survive, he would need transplants of every single organ, including the brain, as well as a new skin.

That guy who had a literal murder hotel?

Slavery in the US was pretty chill, actually. Backbreaking work and a few lashes and rapes here and there is nothing. If you want actually bad slavery, look into sugar cane plantations in Saint-Domingue or the mines of Mexico and Peru.

Irma Grese used to finger herself to torturing of inmates

So basically a new person.

pretty well known tbhfam. This and Ilse "the bitch of Buchenwald" Koch stories were turned into a bunch of exploitation movies in the 70s.

Koch used to torture inmates for fun and is the one who had a lamp shade made out of human skin as well as soap.

We should've just wiped out all the Japs because of all the shit they did. If we just nuked the crap out of them, the US could've taken over the archipelago as their forward operating base in Asia. Nothing would've been lost if Nips had been gone.

Early America was literally an ancap dream

>tfw the majority of the world only give a fuck about Japan because of anime
Am I wrong though? I've yet to meet a single person who cares about Japan beyond anime.

>Koch used to torture inmates for fun and is the one who had a lamp shade made out of human skin as well as soap.
Hasn't the old soap and lampshade meme been debunked?

stormfags going full dindu mode isnt it being debunked

>The public mood was generally sympathetic to Tanzler, whom many viewed as an eccentric "romantic".

Robert Pickton

Plenty of older people are Japanophiles here, and anime is often a gateway to genuine interest in Japanese culture. But I live in a country that went full weeb since the 19th century, so it makes sense.

>Source?
>pretty well known tbhfam

The Holocaust everyone

>if I ignore it, it means it didnt happen!

Its worth noting that the top right photo is not actually Ouchi or Shinohara but a burn victim from an unrelated event. Ouchi was kept almost entombed in what looked like a plastic coffin that was opened only for brief periods of time for the grafts and tests because of the high risk of infection. Also worth noting that his chromosomes were completely disorganized, almost destroyed by the accident. Nothing like that had ever been observed before and its one of the main reasons he was kept alive for so long, to see what the hell was going on in his body. Theres a japanese documentary that explains all of this but it hasnt been translated to english AFAIK.

It's amazing what you can get away with when you're an old guy.

goddamn that's sad

Oops I see you misposted in the wrong thread, you must have thought you were in the 'Closest times in history reality got to redeeming humanity and improving the world drastically' thread

Fuck off American. Slavery in Jamaica was a hell of a lot worse.

slaves in the US had it better than almost any other slaves in history.

there is literally nothing wrong with slavery

Ernest Hemingway would make a good psychological thriller.
He thought he was being watched by the FBI and everybody called him crazy.

He was indeed being watch.

>not debunked
There is literally no evidence that she took tatoos as trophies or made human skin lampshades, the governor of the American occupation zone said as much

"there was no convincing evidence that she had selected inmates for extermination in order to secure tattooed skins, or that she possessed any articles made of human skin"

Not to mention Buchenwald's commander, Ilse's husband was shot for stealing the money of murdered prisoners

>Why is that radiation related stuff is so disturbing and terrifying?
Radiation fucks with your DNA so your body has no fucking clue what it's doing

i-itai!~

Not horror movie status, but I would put Col. Onoda on the list of things that make the nukes seem justified

No, his skeltal just needs a new wardrobe.

Is there anything the US can't do?

>Killed him so no other woman could have him
Jesus Christ, we found a real life yandere.

>Height: 4'9"
I mean, the jokes are really just writing themselves at this point.

Propaganda as fuck

>the beautiful beast
the propaganda was clearly biased in her favor

>Because of the widespread contamination from the anthrax, the land remained a no-go area until 1990.
This would've been worse than nukes

Jesus Christ

IIRC there was a guy who died horribly after the war in the British biochem program because he had some kind of extreme reaction to a chemical agent. His body was dissected and then buried in a sealed casket both due to contamination and to keep his family from finding out. His family was only paid something like the equivalent of $800 US for funeral expenses.

I googled for more details like a dumbass and now regretting it. I'm an en edgelord and a gorehound but I draw the line at fucking up beautiful women like vidya NPCs

Is he okay?

Epic.

>Not to mention Buchenwald's commander, Ilse's husband was shot for stealing the money of murdered prisoners

>her husband was shot because he was stealing money from the prisoners he had murdered that was intended for the state, so there no way she herself could have been part of that barbarity!

The first few chapters of this book cover what life was like in China during the 1940s under the KMT by a UN observer.

youtube.com/watch?v=xDlsrYU5se8

This chapter almost had me moved to tears. Chapter 5 is also fucking crazy for how evil the Catholic Church was (literally bought female children from starving peasants and then raised them as livestock/slave labour to then be given as sex slaves to landed elite to bring them into the church.

Life back then was so unthinkably fucked up.

So you are clearly being the one buying into conspiracy here.

>a UN observer

You disingenuous fuck. A outspoken Marxist making pro-Maoist propaganda would be more accurate.

IIRC Japan does not have the right to denying medical treatment. Therefore if the government deems it "scientifically valuable" it's legal.

Ouchi made it clearly known he wanted to die and wanted them to stop.

To be honest, my interest in Japan came from anime.

I don't actually watch much anime now, maybe 1 show a season if I get the time and tere's something decent on, last season I didn't watch anything but I'm still interested in Japan.

I like how they accept western shit that will obviously benefit them but they have tight restrictions on immigration to protect their culture. Wile western countries will ope the floodgates and promote multiculturalism until every fucking country is the same, the Japanese are like "No, if you want to live here you better jump through a thousand hoops first"

They have their problems obviously and it's not some dream land like an anime but they are obviously comfortable with themselves enough to not try and destroy themselves.

Actually it was part of the fetishization of the holocaust that appeared not 10 years after the end of the war, primarily in Jewish cultures in America and Israel.

>This guy, never seen Nazi porn in Hebrew that usually starred a big mean woman

I remember hearing about this, basically he told volunteers it was a one on one meeting to hear their political and moral beliefs. He used the meetings to completely tear down each of the students top to bottom to test their reactions to having their worldview literally shattered.

In a way, it's really like debating here with other people, except there's no walking away if you ever had enough, you've got to bear it the entire time through. Though I suppose the minor exposure here might build up a resistance to this sort of thing if any of us were to undergo it.
