Well put me in the third because I have no idea what is going on

Back in the olden days when the internet was wild and full of wonders and horrors there once was an image of such mind-warping depravity that it forever scarred the minds and eyes of the innocent who were pranked into clicking on it by their fucked up friends. It’s a bit of a stretch of the imagination, but for those who have *seen* this image will resurrect deeply suppressed memories of that image. So if you just see a bunch of bags of concrete around a gaping pipe, take comfort in your wholeness and seek no further explanation.

>bit of a stretch of the imagination There was certainly more than just imagination being stretched

A bit of a stretch and one gold wedding band

That gold ring just ties the whole image together.

One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Wait until the froot loops and milk come into play

It’s a nice metaphor about the hardships of marriage.

And there it is. Now I got the reference.

> take comfort in your ~~w~~holeness

*gaping pipe* was the reference that put it over the edge for me, lol.

I always considered one guy one jar an unofficial sequel.

The sounds still haunt me

Guy was way too calm about it, that haunts me.

Well that’s a video that I was happy to have forgotten

Remember those same friends sometimes also sent those stupid videos/PowerPoints about anything thing with low volume background music so you’d turn up the volume high only to have a freaky looking thing pop out and make ghastly noises 🤦🏼‍♂️

My favorite of those was the one that screamed "Hey everyone! We are looking at porn over here!".. That was great to hear echo through the cube farm.

“Hey everyone! I’m looking at gay porn!” That was the big one around my school. It opened an explorer window in full screen, and unless you knew to press F11, or escape, the gay porn would stay on your screen.

~20 years ago, when I was a teenager, I stumbled on a YMTND with a slideshow of cute puppies/kitties accompanied by audio of the little girl from Mr. Inc saying "Kitty!" over and over again. Step mom asks me what I'm looking at, I show her... about a minute into the YTMND goatse pops up. Whoops, should have kept watching it all the way through myself.

One of those low resolution find waldo picture where you have to go close to the screen to scan the image got me

I was more of a Lemon Party pranker. I was however the recipient of the “have you seen these new cool pens on double yoo double yoo double yoo dot Pen Island dot com”. IT class was a riot.

I still miss rotten.com

And you don't *want* to know, trust me. Leave this thread, and never return.

Heed this warning ⚠️. The internet is a cruel place and not fond of warnings

I should have listened, now that’s in my search history 😳

You've taken your first steps, into a larger world.

Luckily the image i focused on was a cake version with a cartoon version of it

While the door is open German pain Olympics 1 man 1 jar Kids in the sandbox Lemon party Meatspin 2 girls 1 cup Blue Waffle Ooops

You forgot tubgirl I’ve seen like 3 seconds of 2 girls 1 cup but have no idea about the rest and it’ll stay that way lol

Oh fuck how did I forget tubgirl What a fucking iconic time to be allowed internet access

We had this Chinese observer at my last job who we became friends with, so naturally we had to show him 2 girls 1 cup. I’ve never heard one guy repeat “holly shit” in broken engrish so many times in one go. I’m not sure if he was disturbed or impressed by it but we never spoke of it again.

Yeah, concrete in a bag? Reliable, but kinda trashy. Everyone should research the goatse technique though. I almost didn't even catch it. Brilliant.

Thanks for this. Something else in my brain I can never unsee

You had people trying to warn you and you didn't listen. This is your own damn vault.

Luckily the image I focused on was a cake with a “cartoon” version of it

I fell for it! I'm a fool of the highest order. I thought maybe there's a concrete-bag building technique called Goatse. There is no such thing..

Gaping butthole meme. Imagine a jar sized hole.

I’m here too.

What is goatse?

It's friends with lemon party, tub girl, and blue waffle

and the cup and two girls

And one guy with a jar

And the inbred cousin, “Brittany Spears Nude,” but instead of Brittany Spears it was a Chechnyan trrrorist guy cutting someone’s head off.

which is no where near as bad as Funky Town.

Don't forget about mudfall, meat spin and 1guy1jar.

Fuck it, I'll take one for the team Guy Opens A$$hole To Show Everyone Edit: had no idea this would bring out so many gaping asshole historians. It's not that serious folks

I've known about this since the day it first appeared on the internet, and I never knew that it was an acronym...

[удалено]

I literally didn't know it was an acronym even after he spelled it out.

Lol, I didn’t either! I always assumed it was some weird internet coined term short for goatsex and came from a weird pic/video I didn’t want to know or see.

The original domain names was *goatse.cs*, presumably meant to be read as "goatsex".

Ehh.. Is this an acronym that was made up after the fact though?

Now you need to tell me what day you think it first hit the internet lol

I was going to say sometime around 2004 or 2005, but I looked it up, and that bad boy has been around since before Y2K

[удалено]

I don't get it.

I pray that you never do.

I thought he was somebody that I used to know, but that was gotye

Yes, that's exactly what everyone is referring to. Do not research any further. Hey look! Have you seen the version of that song with 5 people on one guitar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9mybTArlsk

RIP Beard Guy

I love those guys!

The concrete bags sort of look like fingers on a hand. Two of them. Gripping and pulling apart something to create a … gaping opening…

Cant unsee it now. Thanks.

It's how you know it's a drainage pipe

But have you unseen Goatse?

No. It’s about as unseeable as a mustard snack or a blue waffle. Some things you just don’t forget.

A good eye bleach is Lemon Party.

Keep it wholesome... with Tub Girl.

You need to see it to understand.

TIL: That goatse exists! Thanks! I just enjoyed the best laugh I have had in months!

Thanks...cant get *that* image out of my head now

Y'all need Jesus really fucking bad.

That’s a common misconception.

[immaculate misconception](https://youtu.be/vov0yT7qnVI?si=aJGitoW3hl2zu1HA)

Oh we’re *way* past that Jerry.

The original rick roll.

Oh, sweet summer child...just don't even.

The last vestiges of the Wild West internet. Even Reddit used to have subs for things like videos of people dying/being murdered, pedo shit, extremist subreddits, there was even a subreddit just for taking pictures of and making fun of fat people out in the wild just being fat. Kids now never got to experience the early days, back when lolcats were the most popular memes and people didn’t actually know how to pronounce “meme” because you didn’t talk about your weird internet habits in person, at all.

It’s like asking what is 2 girls 1 cup.

What's 2 girls 1 cup?

You would be better off Googling "reddit broken arms" and "reddit jolly rancher".

Swamps of Dagobah

1 guy 1 jar

Oh god no dont remind me of that fucking jolly rancher

It makes cumbox and poop knife tame by comparison…

I haven't seen anyone reference the cumbox in years! I thought reddit forgot about that one.

Legit question, I thought you had to mix cement with an aggregate. Or is this premixed.

Have used a product called Aquacrete- it’s in a small hessian bag which is soaked in water then just stacked onto the other bags in a staggered pattern same as bricks- it was used to make walls and barriers underground that a traditional wall out of bricks or block + cement where unviable due to location, the use wasn’t actually structural or load bearing and you didn’t need to be trade qualified to use

Yeah but I would never say it’s “very common”, like the original poster said. Lol considering a wide majority of people have seen a typical concrete job and hardly anyone here has ever heard of this, I’d say that rules out “very common”.

[удалено]

I mean, nothing in the data sheet says it can be left in the bag. The data sheet says to empty it and mix it.

You are completely right and doing it this way will give you weaker concrete that isn't bonded well between the bags. But it'll probably be good enough. Probably. They do make a product called bagged rip rap that is designed to be used to make walls by stacking the bags like this. It has bags that are water permeable and will break down. Unlike plain concrete bags that are often plastic lined.

I've come across this method in the south a few times near creek bed retaining walls. It actually hardens up pretty damn well. But, if you're a shithead teenager like I was, and you break one open with a sledge hammer, the inside is still powder. It's like a shitty geode.

Funny, I've seen plenty of those shitty retaining walls fail in the south. Almost like stacking bricks on top of each other and relying on hope and prayer to keep them together is fucking dumb.

The data sheet will get you results clarified by the ASTM certifications. I imagine they don't want to verify this method because of too many uncontrolled variables... or it's just a cheap-ass way to go about making a solid structure and even they think leaving their logo up is tacky. I don't really know, just a guess.

It'd a stupid way, because it leaves a bunch of separate, tightly-fitting concrete blocks when a proper concrete pour forms a single block. I've seen tons of yokels who do this shit, and I've seen these very same bag walls fail time after time. Don't do this, it's fucking stupid.

Agregate makes it more durable, but more importantly, aggregate is cheaper than cement. So you can make a lot more concrete per volume of cement

I’m not a concrete guy, but I’ve spent enough time around farms and r/concrete to say that generally leaving the concrete in the bag is a bad idea. It doesn’t really cure right, and unless they drove rebar through all of the bags, they will eventually crumble and/or collapse, sometimes within just a few years. One of the most important factors in concrete longevity is how well it’s mixed and the ratio of water to concrete. All that being said, the first thing I saw here was a gaping butthole 😑

I think the intent here was to make something better than just dirt without breaking the bank.

It's not a good technique. Even if water was added to the bags in place, it'd be a heterogenous pile of dog shit. Concrete, unreacted lime, and rocks all randomly chilling in dumb bags.

Redditors who believe concrete in a bag is viable… what will you do when only the outside shell of cement, rock, and line crumble? When the inner layer is more and more compromised day by day? You will pay the cost of complete replacement. It is not viable option. Sincerely, brick mason.

“I’ll take “*Normal things that look like goatse*” for a $1,000, Alex”

I'm glad I fall into the former category

It's a bit of a stretch, butt I see it.

Now you're speaking my language

He just smiled and gave you a Vegemite sandwich

AND HE SAID….

Do you come from the land down unda

All my farm animals are pretty dumb, but this is so obvious even my goatse it

Butt seriously tho, who in this sub did this? If it anus, must be them.

They hate us cause they anus

It's a bit of a stretched butt, I see it.

Now there's a reference I haven't seen in a long long time.

I’d say the same, but anyone who played the new Zelda game probably had a reminder

Literally the first thing I thought of when I saw those dumb shrines

Or old Zelda. They’ve had the occasional goatse since ALttP

What am I missing?

[удалено]

OH GOD DAMN IT!!!!

> goat-see Oh no, no, no, no. I am not falling for that trick again!

Lots of people googling Goatse for the first time right now and gasping lol (Don't do it around your kids, y'all. Or just read about it and don't click the image search button...)

/r/accidentalgoatse

You know, the photo was bad enough.

Fingers spreading a butthole. I see it, right?

Ok, this is as far down as I’m going and accepting this as the point of the post.

Nope, just bags of concrete and a culvert. (Squints suspiciously) ...What do you see when you look at rorschach tests?

Trains and cigars why?

The correct answer was... (Checks notes) ...Georgia O'Keefe paintings.

Dammit, I'll never make it as an artist at this rate. Maybe it's time to go into politics

I did not see that coming.

…fingers spreading a butthole?

This belongs in r/spreadem

What? The bags of unopened concrete? If so, this is somewhat common. The concrete will eventually harden from being outside.

No he means goatse

I guess its pretty old internet at this point. But yah i saw it!

Core internet memory unlocked*

^(CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN:) "Did you finish laying the bags of concrete like I asked?" ^(MINIONS:) **"BANANA!"**

But whats the goat seeing?

Everything. The goat has seen too much.

That's why they scream.

The what?

Well that’s a memory I didn’t need to have resurfacing

My God in Heaven.

This take me back to the sweet days of internet yore.

Someone should draw a wedding ring on it.

Don't you mean a shrine from Tears of the Kingdom? Oh wait, same thing.

My dear sweet innocent child.

would it still fuse together with the other concrete? seems like it would just harden like bricks.

They do, but the nooks and cranies between the bags makes them fit together. Its good for laying inground structures/foundations. Not for building upwards.

Yea, it seems like it is just used here as erosion/mole resistant dirt. should do fine at that.

They fuse, but also sometimes a couple coated rebar per bag is driven into the bags to add lateral structure support.

Correct. We call them brick bags.

Yeah, this is a very smart way to create form-fitting blocks without having to work the ground underneath to create a level surface. Would you really rather set forms, break open the bags, mix the cement then pour it and tamp out any air pockets?

Unfortunately, I think he means the goatse

Everyone mentioning goatse has an old ass Reddit account. Pretty interesting

I mean... It's an old meme by internet standards. It was also relatively "underground" as memes go (shock posts of the more extreme nature never really gain the *most* steam as they tend to get taken down more quickly and are less likely to be shared person to person than say, a frog telling you it's Wednesday). So the people who were exposed to goatse in their youth are also far more likely to be early adopters of places like reddit (I think this is my 2nd account? And I lurked for a while before my first iirc). Honestly I'm kind of glad because the 'shock' posts that came later were like... People getting killed with hammers and beheading videos, which are significantly less tame than goatse, lemon party or even meatspin.

Yeah I'm glad I grew up with tubgirl and not beheadings. Although I suppose Mr. Hands was sort of a bridge between the two eras.

It's an old meme, period. That shit is from the 90s. I can tell you the picture is at the very least 25 years old.

Dude. It’s been so long.

YAHTZE!!.....no wait ... that's not it.

No ring, 2/10

GOATSE

What the fuck is goatse you degenerates

You can wikipedia it, but it'll never be the same as your sophomore buddy tricking you into typing it in during computer science class. Goatse.xe

hello.jpg

I hope it's not that the bags of concrete look a bit like fingers holding the hole open

I got see a concrete solution. Thanks.

Half of these comments are _so_ innocent, I love it.

Moatse

Goa-

The goatse? No, we all see it

Missing the ring

It's even got the thumbs...

Roadse

Draw in the wedding ring! Lol

It's an older code sir, but it checks out.

I saw a hobbit dwelling. The comments ruined it. You got me again, internet.

Where's the ring?

Is there a suddenlygoatse subreddit?

let's find out! r/suddenlygoatse

/r/accidentalgoatse

As a wise man once said, that was a challenging wank...

That’s enough Reddit for this hour.

Me: What? Concrete bags? Does that work? Neat. I don't get it thouoooh. Oh. Yeah, I see it.

It’s missing the ring

The asshole that made this just had to stack exactly five bags resembling fingers on each side of the orifice resembling a butthole, didnt he?

If you don't understand the joke , be thankful it wasn't burned into your brain, back in the day

I am happily unaware of the reference and will choose to stay that way.

Another hole you can't fill?

I'm walking away slowly and pretending I never saw this and going home to drink some unsee juice and use some eye bleach

Excuse me, I’d like to ass you a few questions!

It's missing a wedding ring

Man’s fucking brilliant

Goatse. Also. Thats old internet. Majority of Reddit probably too young.

I goatse it now.

Welp (slaps knee) this was fun, good to see a whole new generations learn there ARE somethings best left un-seen.

Goatse?

Everything reminds me of her, bro
