While there are many reasons to keep your faith in humanity, there are some moments when we lose it completely. There are truly terrible people in the world who do God-awful things to others. Focusing just on them without seeing the kindness around us would be pessimistic, but it’s important to be aware of just how deep some people’s evil really goes. In short, being aware of the darker aspects of life gives us a more nuanced picture.

And there’s hardly a better place to see some things that might make your blood boil than the ‘Extremely Infuriating’ subreddit. It’s a 91.7k-member-strong online community that has been showing the internet the dark side of humanity all the way since 2012. Scroll down below for some of the worst things you’re likely to read all week. Let us know in the comments which of these things shocked you the most, Pandas. And if you’re up for it, tell us how you personally deal with negative news like this.

(Warning: this list really isn’t for you if you have high blood pressure and if you’d like to relax. For those that need some sunshine in your lives, we suggest you check out Bored Panda’s recent article about silly animals doing cute nonsense things right here.)

Bored Panda wanted to understand why we're so fascinated by some of the darker aspects of humanity and why being angry all the time might be bad for us, so we reached out to Suzanne Degges-White, a Licensed Counselor, Professor, and Chair at the Department of Counseling and Higher Education at Northern Illinois University.

“When it comes to hearing information about the darker aspects of humanity, our brains experience greater stimulation when we hear stories of depravity than of kindness. It also has a ‘feel-good aspect’ for some folks as it normalizes and minimizes their own dark aspects or negative traits,” the professor explained to Bored Panda why negative, dark, evil-related content might appeal to people.

It's not her landlord but the assisted living facility that wanted her gone. I mean, what is she supposed to do, sitting in a wheelchair and probably having no place to go? There's got to be rules in place for cases like that?

According to Professor Degges-White from Northern Illinois University, information about the darker aspects of humanity allows the audience to create comparisons to their own behavior. As a result, we feel better about those traits that we might not like in ourselves.

“Whether it's greed, anger, promiscuity, and so on, when we hear just how bad someone else has been, it can make us feel better about our own tendencies towards the dark side traits. It also lets us imagine vicariously what it would be like to be ‘that bad.’”

She continued: “It's kind of like watching all the true crime shows—we enjoy being scared, we enjoy seeing into the minds of people doing things we never would, and it's exciting and novel to see just how far people can go in terms of their dark sides.”

    You have no idea. I have mix breed dogs, both rescue, both black. People pull their [in]breed dogs away from mine because they automatically think my dogs have a bad temper (they are trained and well behaved), aren't vaccinated, are infested with fleas or are dirty just because they were strays at some point in their lives. I go downstairs holding my dog because she can't hold her bladder when she's happy or scared. Even so, a former neighbor knocked on my door saying it was my "dirty black animal" who left a puddle on the stairwell. It was soda a kid spilled. So yeah, people are actually racist towards dogs.

    News flash AH! Guide Dogs can be any kind and color of large dog. If I'd been a passenger at the front who heard this, I'd have laced into him, even if it meant I'd get kicked off. When I was a little kid, back when Guide Dogs were uncommon, the first one I encountered was visiting a childhood friend of my mom's. Her friend was blind. Guess what breed and color the Guide Dog was?

    I used to work for a renowned veterinary cardiologist/internist who did health checks and echocardiograms for the local Guide Dog Foundation for free. You are correct. Overwhelmingly, guide dogs are Labradors but also German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinschers, Boxers, and less commonly breeds like Vizslas, Belgian Shepherds, Bouviers des Flanders, and I once saw a Leonberger litter who were going into the GDFA.

    I remember it because Rocky's descriptions are the closest thing I have to explain the synesthesia I experience while in a very bad migraine attack. This weird thing occurs where I can sort of see noises and hear lights or colors as if they have a particular sound like a musical note. It was because of that scene that I began to understand my tendency to assign colors to musical notes, genders to letters and numbers (I could write a dissertation about this), how certain noises or smells feel physically sharp or pointy to me. Our senses (that we are aware of) can and do blend together sometimes. One will occasionally trigger a response in another. We already understand this concept because taste and smell are so closely related. You smell something appetizing, and it triggers the physical sensation of hunger. If you apply that to the other three, it makes sense. Especially when considered in the context of someone who doesn't experience one of the five known senses to begin with.

I was told that my Chihuahua/Pug couldn't be a PTSD dog because he wasn't big enough and that only veterans can have PTSD and can have service dogs. I told her to visit the Federal Department of Justice website, go to the ADA section and look up service dog regulations. People need to educate themselves or just stay quiet.

    The professor warned us that living in constant anger (e.g. being angry at how unjust the world is all the time) can have very negative effects on our bodies.

    “Constant anger can lead to metabolic diseases, cardiovascular problems, and digestive issues. For some people, health concerns are the reason that they may learn to let go of anger,” she said.

    “While being angry can lead to social change and begin to topple barriers and other aspects of injustice, we also know that anger isn't going to be the best choice to build alliances or convince others of the need for change. Finding common ground is essential in making true, collaborative change. This requires us to let go of anger, whether that is finding a way to sublimate it or overcome it, or just put it aside for the time being,” the professor explained that anger, while useful, isn’t the answer to everything. It has a place and a time.

    Despite the fact that the r/extremelyinfuriating subreddit is all about sharing and commenting on infuriating content, the community isn’t about directing this anger against the perpetrators of terrible and heinous acts. It’s not about becoming a vigilante.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The moderators stress time and time again that the subreddit isn’t about starting witch hunts or wishing someone else harm. As such, you should avoid posting any identifying information that could lead to someone getting hurt. (Even if you might personally think that Karma might need a helping hand.)

    “This subreddit is about things that are extremely infuriating. This often includes terrible people doing terrible things. But witch hunts and doxxing will not be tolerated, and anyone who provides or attempts to discover the identity (including, but not limited to, real name, Reddit username, Twitter handle, etc.) of anyone involved in a submission will be banned,” the mods of r/extremelyinfuriating explain.

    The team behind the subreddit also points out that disagreements are fine, but hostility and insults are definitely not. It’s vital to stay civil even when talking about emotional topics. Taking part in polite discussion lies at the core of the online group, even if the subject matter is extremely infuriating to most people.

    What’s more, the mods point out that it’s never okay to wish harm on someone. “You can express your frustration or dislike for someone without advocating for them to be physically harmed or murdered,” they write.

    Makes Sense Everyone Knows Kids Can Photosynthesize

    Something that can’t be denied is that many people have a strange fascination with the darker aspects of humanity. Bored Panda spoke to psychologist Lee Chambers about this in detail, with regards to the popularity of the true-crime genre, as well as why people enjoy viewing media that portrays violence and evil.

    "When considering why the darker side of humanity and entertainment are so compelling, we have to first look at our evolutionary journey as human beings. For the majority of our existence, we were prey and always hyperaware of threats to our safety, which created a negativity bias that we are drawn towards," the psychologist began.

They also offer closure, with many stories ending with the mystery being solved, and the criminal being brought to a level of justice," Lee said.

    As strange and uncomfortable as it sounds, seeing evil things done by and to people who are not us while we’re safe at home in front of the screen has a certain “comforting element” to it.

    "It can take us on an emotional rollercoaster, have us trying to solve the puzzle and test our fear in a controlled way. The permission to explore evil is powerful, as we so rarely get the chance elsewhere, and in itself, it is healthy and normal in moderation," he said, stressing that moderation is the key. Consuming too much negativity and violence in the media can affect us in ways that we don’t want.

    "The challenge we face is the fact that consuming too much of this can desensitize us, and cause us to become less empathetic to the suffering of others, more fearful of our own environment, and potentially be more likely to use aggression ourselves. It can also cause us to be triggered by our own previous adverse experiences, make it harder to manage our own emotional balance, and increase our stress levels, so moderating our consumption is something we should have front of mind, even when we get embroiled in the latest series that is pulling us in."

    According to the psychologist, consuming media like television shows can be a way to relax, explore ourselves in new contexts, and to start conversations with our social circles. However, we have to seriously dial back on this type of entertainment when we see it impacting our life.

    Causing more harm than good. If the owners can’t fix it themselves they’ll need to call someone out, that’s another vehicle on the road. If the tire is damaged that’s another tire on the trash heap and another one manufactured to replace it. Then of course you have all the man hours wasted. People are idiots, they don’t think.

    “As soon as it starts to invade your sleep, impact what you eat, and how much you move your body, it starts subtracting from the fundamentals that keep us in an optimal place as human beings," he said that we should check in with ourselves to see if we’re not spending far too much time in front of a screen.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "A lack of sleep compounds in a variety of negative ways, and we are well aware of the challenges we face as a society around eating and movement. We also need to consider the mental and psychological benefits of watching some TV and taking ownership; being in control of what you watch is a great place to be, so ensure you are the master of the TV and don't let the TV become the master of you," he said.

    This appears to be totally untrue: Manufacturing company Intersurgical says it had no intention of making a threat. Managing director Charles Bellm issued a statement: "Just to confirm that recent reports from Italy are totally incorrect, we were contacted at the end of last week for manufacturing details of a valve accessory but could not supply these due to medical manufacturing regulations, we have categorically not threatened to sue anyone involved. The valve is an accessory supplied as part of a CPAP Hood system which alone costs a few euros. Our Italian company has been doing their utmost to supply the hospitals at this time and have been supplying these free of charge in many cases to use with the CPAP Hoods. It is very disappointing that in the current climate this incorrect information is circulating, our focus as a company is to be able to supply the hospitals that require these and many other vital products and we are making every effort to ensure we can do so.
