Depends on your weird.
I write, so there’s a ton of stuff on decomposition, forensics, and related subject matter that are weird by some standards.
I’ve got stuff on niche mythology too, for the same reason. Along with that is stuff on modern paganism, syncretic religions, and related subjects. Again, weird by some standards.
But I tend to think the morbid stuff is what would catch most people by surprise.
It used to be Google scholar. It was pretty easy to find good stuff when I was digging into it. Not sure if it’s still a reliable place though
What’s a pdf that most surprised you?
Ahh, probably the one that gave visuals of bloat and skin slippage.
I’ve seen plenty of dead bodies (did some hospice work, ran across a suicide in the woods, and a few accidents), but I’d never seen that segment of decomp.
It’s both worse than I expected, and somehow not as bad.
Are there any vulnerabilities? Asking for a friend
Ooh! Link? ^^
I cannot find the actual file I was talking about, but I did find my WEG Death Star Technical Manual. I am still trying to find the laptop that has the technical readouts of the Death Star.
Boringly, the only thing in there currently is the guide from the dmv (mvc, sorry) for nj to review cause I’m feeling old and need a refresher.
The Airplane Flying Handbook, I guess.
Acute toxins fact sheet, guide to identifying snipe flies, several issues of Computer Gaming World from 1987, and 2 separate copies of the schematics for a Kenmore 148-1937.1 sewing machine.
I just cleaned up my downloads so I no longer have it, but a couple weeks ago it was a copy of Maid: The Role-Playing Game
Mine is this report by the central bank where they tested the insurance sector at-large for resillience to financial shocks. ^(Although after reading some books by nassim nicholas taleb, I realize that testing using the worst imaginable shocks isn’t sufficient as black swan events are by their nature unpredictable)
That sounds fun!
I didn’t know they did this. Where can I learn more?
I found the Cunt Coloring Book from the 1970’s. Yes, scanned in as PDF. Yes, a few pages were already colored in, mostly psychedelic colors though.
And yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like, a bunch of hand drawn lady parts to be colored in.
Ah I didn’t think to look into that part of my downloads for PDFs
I’m so curious
Nothing special enough to share, nor would I even share such works, especially with all the pages stuck together…
In my mailbox…My arrest warrant from the Dutch police.
What are the charges?
Eating a meal, a Succulent Chinese Meal
Get your hands off my penis!
Ah so you send me that .pdf, tuff luck
Ok, this is definitely the winning comment. I’m crossing my fingers for you bro
A mock dictionary of Portuguese gay slang and vocabulary. It’s pretty fun.
Lol
Guidelines for a Space Propulsion Device Based on Heim’s Quantum Theory
I thought it sounded interesting, but the mathematics was beyond me.
Hercolobus Or Red Planet, by V. M. Rabolou… it’s ‘interesting’.
It’s an interesting concept and seems plausible enough (same as with Planet X, Nemesis… ok some of that Nibiru stuff is ridiculous) but like, the evidence just isn’t there to support it. Feels like we should have found SOME evidence for this kind of interstellar disaster by now. I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong.
Nothing too weird. Multiple manuals of objects that I own, probably the weirdest of which is a German manual for my Canon EOS 300 (I’m not German). And some machine learning papers, among which a paper from 1987, by Quinlan & Rivest, about decision trees (which is older than I am).
EDIT: Oh and another document older than me, a manual for the Minolta XG-9 that I’m lending from my dad.
I agree it feels weird to come across files that’ve been around for longer than you have.
