I’m really into unusual/insane/unhinged. I find them fascinating. I’ve followed conspiracy theorists, alien abductees, otherkin, therians, people who eat cat fur of their sofa, etc etc.
I’m looking for good weirdness to watch during downtime. Any suggestions.
Really nasty people will do.
people who eat cat fur of their sofa
wat
Yea dafuck i bet op is some real psycho
Camping With Steve.
I think he started out documenting his homelessness and where he camped, but after becoming homeful, he kept going out and stealth coming in really weird places. Abandoned buildings, caves, mines, roundabouts, highway median strips, under bridges. Sometimes he camps in regular camp grounds, just in whacky shelters like cardboard boxes or blanket forts. Sometimes he secretly sleeps in his car.
Just…be careful for those of you who have lost loved ones. Steve is a wholesome guy whose wife passed next to him in the middle of the night. So he may bring her up in his videos. Credit to the man for still going. I honestly wasn’t sure he would.
I don’t really think camping with steve falls into the same group as ‘really nasty people’, he’s not crazy in that way

That’s disheartening. Thanks for the info, I’ll have to read up on that.
What the actual fuck…
There have been rumours about exurb1a being involved in rapey/creepy shit for years, I thought you were linking to that stuff but this is new!
Regardless, I unsubbed years ago as everything he puts out is the same old rehashed shit anyway
oh my god this is actually fucked up, I am never watching that guy again
I read all that and honestly, that all sounds exactly like what I would assume an early- mid 20s relationship burdened under existential nihilism coupled with that numbing pervasiveness that hollows you out after losing your staring contest with the absurd, and the ideations that our ennui naturally exude.
It’s easy to look back over years and pencil it in neatly, plot holes filled, from our privileged advantage in time. Life, as we know, if weve lived a sufficient amount of it, is never as linear as our stories, nor as intentional, and providence and luck benefit us each more than we admit, even to ourselves. We embellish our own story - to ourselves. It’s too easy to retcon stories in a bad light, fucking creative industries are devoted to that entire genre, but it’s way to easy to think, gee exurb1a’s smart and think it’s all premeditated and working to a point and in that light that’s all really fucked up. Idk man. I think we all can look back a decade and find ourselves cringe, I imagine these two kids are no different.
Parallel to that you could see how maybe guys having some fun running with an idea with this gal. Maybe he set up some synchronicities, people do plan surprises don’t they? That’s still a thing right? I think it’s entirely plausible it’s a series of happenstances she’s rewriting as if theres some davinci code Roseline thru it all. I think it’s entirely plausible that exurb1a was shooting from the hip the whole time, while talking about the heavy shit that goes thru his mind. And your mind, and mine, cuz if you know of him, you also know what entails the ennui.
I mean, youve listened to his essays, and you’re…surprised…that his life is chaotic and messy too? Like… you didn’t see this coming? Maybe his next video should be about making apples from applesauce.
Y’know, nowhere did I see her take any personal responsibility. It was her trip to a psych ward because of him, not her lack of critical thinking or ability to put space between them? Idk man, eschewing agency doesnt absolve yourself accountability and it sure as shit doesn’t lend your credibility.
I’ve read her side and I’m not convinced, I still have questions, things just aren’t adding up to me. A couple screenshots of text (that totally can’t be faked right?) isn’t what I would call bringing receipts. Im reserving judgement until I see his response, assuming he responds in public, y’know since that’s where she brought her accusations. Until we hear both sides, it’s all hearsay anyways. In reality, we don’t know shit about either one of these people, whether theyre good people or not or whatever. Maybe she’s trying to go all Amber Heard on him, how the fuck would we be able to discern otherwise?
Yea, I think reserving judgement is prudent. And if the reality doesn’t come to light? Well, oh well. It’s not our business to begin with.
You are missing these, King:
William Osman:
I build a phone you can’t drop
Michael Reeves:

HowToBasic:
Ramen (Make sure to watch to the end)
William Osman:
I build a phone you can’t drop
He also built an xray machine
I still think his decision to call that commenter on the phone was based as hell. Dude uses his real name on the internet to pretend to be a nuclear physicist or whatever just to shit on some youtuber
I would let StyroPyro do unspeakable things to me with electricity
Crazy/Science/Dangerous:
Styropyro
I am honestly surprised he hasn’t accidentally killed himself yet
Existential Dread:
exurb1a
yeah that guy has put me in a good (bad) panic before
edit: I was actually thinking of Sisyphus 55

I still sing the Bean Dip song any time I eat bean dip
He is no longer with us, but lookup videos of Terry Davis. There’s lots of documentaries about him but it should be easy to find his stream clips, if you just want to watch him.
Paranoid schizophrenic who spent 10 years creating his own operating system from scratch because God told him to.
There’s a good number of videos cataloguing templeOS, and it’s an interesting dive for sure.
Bald and Bankrupt. British guy with maxed out social skills goes to random places around the world (like Bangladesh) and talks to locals.
Yeah the things I read about him are quite controversial. But whenever I’ve seen him on video (even filmed unknowingly by others) he’s always seemed like a very genuine man.
Well, sh…
I often watch urban explorers, abandoned places stuff and tuned in to his channel a few times, too. There were signs. I thought he just knew the right behavior code and talk to brush by those nationalist wannabes and drug militias. Now I know. Shocked.
His recent series where he crossed the Darien Gap was fascinating
Never forget how he got kicked out of Russia and next showed up in Afghanistan! He seems to have no risk-aversion. I’m almost half expecting him to pop up in Gaza next… He’s made some excellent insightful videos.
This was my original pick, I’ve heard there are some pretty serious allegations against him too which I’m in no position to properly evaluate. But I’ll keep watching with the benefit of the doubt for now because his videos are very interesting.
Exactly. Couldn’t phrased said it better
I was a postmortem scientist for a decade, and have a show called After Death, which focuses on SFX makeup and embalming, based on gruesome ways people have died! It’s on a page called Bad Day HQ which focuses on the worst days in history… crime, death, natural disasters, conspiracies, cryptuds, etc. Honestly best side gig ever. I love being teach people about really morbid stuff.
My work. This was shot at the Anatomy of Death Museum in Michigan… And the channel itself. They won Emmy awards back in the 90s/2000s
It has:
-
Mine disasters, where companies shut off oxygen, sacrificing people, so they wouldn’t lose profits
-
Deadliest human stampedes, where people were so concerned with getting to events that they trampled, crushed, and suffocated hundreds of people
-
Famines that wiped out large percentages of entire countries, that mirror what’s happening right now
-
History behind the Bermuda Triangle and the stories of planes and ships that have vanished there
-
Stories of some of the darkest crimes in history… from serial killers to gruesome, morbid deaths
-
Disasters and crimes that happened On This Day!
I’m really proud and have a plethora of knowledge, so please ask away. Actually ran the Wayne State Funeral History Museum for 3 years 🥰

My favorite weirdo Youtubers are Cheru and Let’s Game It Out. They both make gaming content, but do it in totally different styles.
I love LGIO, but I wouldn’t call it unhinged. Josh quite intentionally pushes the boundaries and breaks games because it’s frickin’ funny.
I’ll have to check out Cheru.
SpiffingBrit is similar, but he doesn’t just exploit games, he exploits the internet, youtube, and real life too.
I’m not sure what else you can call someone who has played Satisfactory for at least 22 hours straight.
A normal satisfactory player?
Just need to fix those conveyors, then I’ll go to bed… oops and one more coal station… and hey I forgot to connect that hypertube… oh and that truck looks stuck, better re-path it… and did I remember to refill the biomass burners? … and while I’m there I may as well optimize that screw output… and update the signs… and collect a few more berries… almost forgot to pet the lizard doggo…
You’re right, Satisfactory does that to everybody. However, you can’t tell me that he’s got all of his screws on tight after spending 7 hours building 3000km of winding roads across a sea to connect a single fire station to an entire metropolis in City Skylines 2.
Hmm, true, Josh is chaotic neutral at best. I hesitate to say evil overall because as far as I know he only tortures video game characters (especially ones named Grace). But yeah he’s pretty evil to them sometimes, haha.
One of my favorite episodes is Gas Station Simulator. Give that a watch if you haven’t seen it. Laugh my ass off at that one.
Very unhinged, and very good filmmaking too. I saw it from a recommendation by Tom Scott and wasn’t disappointed.
After the hair thing in the last video, I don’t know what to expect from him but I’m looking forward to it 😂
There’s a tv show titled “my strange addiction “; probably what you’re looking for, as it has people eating cat fur, someone married to a carnival ride, a shower drain hair collector, eating dryer sheets, chewing dirty diapers, eating a loved ones ashes, eating toilet paper, drinking paint… here’s an example:
What the fuck most of them should be in jail (the ash eater definetly should be )not in a show.
If you’re into it, there are many ‘science’ channels you could watch.
‘Michael Reeves’ and ‘I did a thing’ both build stupid things. Stuff like a cursing Elmo puppet or a giant sawblade Bayblade.
If you want some actual science, Nile Red. You get stuff like ‘Making grape soda out of plastic gloves’.
Along the actual science line there’s also Explosions & Fire, an Aussie making explosives in his garden shed. He’s got a sister channel called Extractions & Ire as well where he makes other chemicals with more detail.
In a similar vein William Ossman 2, its includes a lot of those people in ridiculous science shenanigans.
Not sure this is quite what you’re looking for by CYRIAK makes some pretty weird animations that I would call unhinged.
Also, Don Herzfeldt’s animations are pretty weird. Oh, and Day Job Orchestra
Jon Drinks Water is a YouTube channel centered 100% around short videos of a guy drinking water.
Stay hydrated, people ;)

HydroComrades
Nah that’s lemmingrad
May not be entirely what you’re looking for, but my immediate thought is Max0r. His editing style is so insane that I regularly wonder when the mental institute is going to be coming back for him
Davie504
Watched him for a while. It all gets a bit samey after a few videos IMO.
I would suggest ididathing that guy is pure chaos and has zero concerns for his safety, there is a running gag, things get brutal sometimes and overall fun and informative.
Hey, how you goin’?
I am sorry do we know each other ?
