The internet is enormous—so vast it’s almost impossible to wrap your head around. To put it in perspective, by 2020 the total amount of data online reached around 64 zettabytes. That’s roughly a trillion gigabytes, and since a trillion is a million millions, let’s just say that’s a lot.
With so much out there, it’s no surprise that people sometimes end up exploring its strangest corners. One Redditor asked users to share the deepest internet rabbit holes they’ve ever fallen into, and the answers didn’t disappoint. Some of them are so fascinating, you might just find yourself tempted to follow.
Scroll down to see where curiosity led them.

I think everyone has had a JFK conspiracy theory phase right?

Ancient civilizations.
There is basically nothing that could convince me that human life hasn’t been almost completely wiped off the face of the Earth multiple times
From the stories of the global floods across basically all of the continents so many ancient civilizations with stories of their earlier people coming out of the ground after catastrophe
You look at places in India, the wind caves in the Dakotas. There’s just too much to deny the fact that there is more or was more going on than we are willing to admit.
I rationalize it to myself like this: if you are at home and there is a storm or a tornado you tell your children it’s going to be OK but you never admit how much danger they’re in
If the government or “deep state “knows that we could get wiped out by an asteroid, they would just act like it’s not serious or the probability is very low While preparing to get themselves underground. The regular citizen is never aware of how much jeopardy we are in.
Because of course, why would we tow the line and follow the rules if the world could end tomorrow?

Astral projection had a hold of me for a while. Lol.
YetiSpaghetti24:
The sheer amount of people who claim to be able to astral project and interact with people and things in the real world is fascinating.
I actually started listening to the Gateway tapes and trying to "astral project" but could never achieve anything notable. I know it's most likely just some weird lucid dreaming related phenomenon and people are exaggerating about it online, but it's certainly interesting nonetheless.

Celebrity number six, there was this fabric printed in the early 2000s with a bunch of celebrity’s faces on it with kind of a pop art style edit. All of the celebrities were matched with the actual photo used for the edit except one, celebrity number six.
I’d look through old magazines whenever I came across them trying to find the face of the lady on the fabric. It took the subreddit r/celebritynumbersix a few years but finally someone figured out who she was. A foreign model Leticia Sarda and they contacted her to confirm.

Last year, I tripped over a picture of a completely destroyed porta potty from The Gathering of Juggalos here on Reddit. And like - I remember a bit about ICP from my youth, had never been a fan - honestly, had never really given it much thought - but fell into this entire rabbit hole of researching their whole....thing. My girlfriend still gives me hell about it - for days she'd walk into the room and I'd be scrolling and she'd be like "are you still reading about the Juggalos?" (I was). That was a weird 5 or so days.

The lock picking lawyer. Why the hell have I watched that guy pick so many locks?
