NSFW Warning. For the uninitiated: Back in the early internet (2006-2009), there was a video a man posted (somewhere, but it was circulated on 4chan) of himself slowly lowering his ass onto a Mason jar, into his rectum. The glass shattered mid way through, and blood streamed out of his asshole. It was horrific, and memorable. Kind of like 9/11 part two.... Never forget.

"early internet"...(2006-2009)...pick one, they're mutually exclusive.

That shit always cracks me up

the internet did not begin when you first started paying attention to it

True, although in my case, I've been paying attention to it since 1989. So I at least can say I was there when the web began.

You're the exception. The fact you know the distinction between the internet and the web proves that.

I know I am. I started on the Internet playing MUDs over Telnet, chatting on IRC and posting on Usenet.

My "640k is good enough for anybody" quote in 1993: "This web thing is pretty cool, but it will never replace Gopher."

I want to just touch on what made it memorable for me. This insane beast of a man quietly started removing glass from his asshole. He was stoic and focused. I have no clue how you react to something like that rationally, but homie pulled it off.

"One man one jar", I think, was the given video title.

He had to be quiet. In a later interview he stated that his wive and kid were in the other room

Isn’t that like a “go to the hospital” kind of thing? Not like a “take the glass out yourself” kind of thing?

That man is my fucking hero. I would have been on the floor rolling in blood crying like a bitch.
