Why do you have a toddler skull?

It’d be disrespectful to throw it out.

I think you can just buy human remains. Sometimes even legally.

Cheaper to hunt them in the wild.

More ethical too. None of this factory farmed trash.

"you can buy human remains."
I'm in.

"sometimes even legally."
I'm out.

Also basically never ethically.

I'm generally a pretty stoic guy. I don't get "creeped out" by much. But there are two things that never fail to invoke a creepy unsettling feeling in me.

  1. A toddler skull with all of their teeth. Shit's just terrifying even though I know it's natural.
  2. There's an old black and white clip of an eyeball being sliced into with a straight razor that just makes me shudder every time.
[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago

The clip with the eyeball sliced is from an old French surrealistic short movie, written and produced by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali, "Un Chien Andalou" (An Andalusian Dog) from 1929.

If there's ever a link I will never press....

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

It's just a Wikipedia link, no eyeball slicing shown.

Got me a movie, I want you to know

Slicin' up eyeballs, I want you to know

Girlie so groovy, I want you to know

Don't know about you

The Grand Poxfather loves all his children, no matter how many teeth!

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 1 month ago

Why does it look like they have like 15 sets of teeth, even though it's only 4?

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago

I always knew toddlers were creepy
