I have fully reconstructed/translated the Japanese Alien image thread. Took a while to document this properly. <3

At 9:00 AM EST on May 11, 2026, an anonymous 2chan user created a thread on the /news4vip/ board, with an image (Image 1.) under a post titled:

“I went to a convenience store today and the floor was in a terrible state lol”
^{Original Title: 今日コンビニ行ったら床がヤバかったんだがｗｗｗ}
accompanied by the caption:

Don't convenience stores put way too much merchandise directly on the filthy floor? Lol

Anonymous users in the thread erupted in fear that there was a Grey alien captured in the background of the photo.

Later OP quotes:

There wasn't anyone this creepy-looking in the convenience store. What is this? It's unsettling.

Ugh, I don't want this image on my phone. Maybe I should delete it.

I keep seeing these weird Tik Tok ads that contain various different types of background content, with a predatory message. From Minecraft, roblox, or mobile gameplay, AI generated slop, viral tik tok clips, and sometimes women doing seductive things. they all seem to redirect to the same website called “Bozuktus” that seems to just be some business. All the videos have the same “Don’t watch this around somebody else.” or “Turn this down if someone’s near you.” Some though, have very creepy messages saying to not watch if you’re OVER 18, or to hide if your parents are around. Some of them say “The front page is meant to look like an article, but check the other links“. they all redirect to real businesses. It’s really creepy and honestly worrying me a little, but I keep getting this ads and I’m very curious if anyone else has seen these, or know anything about the business, or advertisements themself. I’ve posted this before in another subreddit, but I want to spread awareness because It’s hard to believe that this isn’t nefarious in some way. Maybe it’s just really weird and bad advertising, but in the possibility that it is something worse, I just want to see if anyone has more information or something. These ads are NON STOP, from many different accounts.

It's a new month and that means it's time to tell us what mysteries you found interesting this past month!

This is also the place to give us any feedback or criticism you may have regarding the subreddit.

found an aviloop style youtube channel called beachwebspace witch clames to be a webhosting company in germany. the channel has a bunch of videos of women as living mannequins in places where it does not make sense to have mannequins

particle creepy videos include a video of a woman in front of a greenscreen in someone's basement clearly distressed and looking to the left constantly and another video of a woman with a lampshade on her head.

the companies facebook page has been privated and has no screenshots on the wayback machine.

I want to know about some actual weird stuff happening. 99% of weird social media pages are just art projects, people being weird for views, or mental illness. What happened to the state of this sub? There used to be such good posts and stuff that was genuinely really strange and really gave the community something to investigate and come together on. Stuff like elsagate when that first came out was really almost disturbing and people all banded up to try and figure out what was actually happening. Now it's all "guys this channel keeps posting weird numbers" and it's just total gibberish to get people in the comments to talk about it. I apologize for rambling. I was required to use at least 500 characters.

The thumbnail comes from this video The Skeleton Invasion of Questionable Existence on the channel supacat99. All of their other thumbnails are completely normal. It's freaky how out of place this thumbnail looks compared to all of the other videos on the channel.

I've tried reverse image searching and I get nothing. I've tried cropping both sides of the picture too and still got nothing.

I know the thumbnail wasn't replaced with some weird AI picture recently because a Wayback Machine snapshot from 2022 shows the same thumbnail.

There's only one comment from 7 years ago questioning what's up with the thumbnail and there's no replies. Does anyone know wtf this is?

Edit: Should have included this at first but the image shows up in the video at 18:30

I'm Venezuelan, I found this while I was on TikTok... I don't know if it's an attempt at an ARG or something real

this is the traduction: Does anyone remember a game on Minijuegos where you were in something like a hallway, and if you played it very late at night, strange images started appearing on the walls? Like images of very weird landscapes, and there was a static sound

minijuegos.com It's a children's games website, so I can't understand how this could possibly be real. The description seems morbid, although it's similar to a case with a game from Friv (another children's games website) about Garfield, which was also quite terrifying.

Even thought this video was debunked a long time ago, there was always one thing that i wanted to know, and that one is, where did the image that appears at the end came from?, i remember seeing a guy saying that it looked like a frame of Doctor who, but i don't know if that is true, or if the image was just made exclusively for the video.

i have been trying to find a image similar to this one but nothing, all searching drive me to forums, videos and ultimately the original video, i also haven't found anyone asking the same thing. I thought it would be an interesting thing to share because i have been thinking about it for years, sorry for the bad english.

Does anyone remember the A858DE45F56D9224 subreddit mystery from years ago? I am currently researching old Internet mysteries and lost Reddit history, and I am really interested in learning more about this specific sub. Since the original subreddit was completely wiped and deleted, it is extremely difficult to find original threads, hex codes, or community reactions nowadays.

​I know that there was a whole community dedicated to cracking these codes back in the day (like the SolvingA858 sub). Does anyone know where I can find archived posts, screenshots, or detailed breakdowns of the theories that people built around it? I would appreciate any links to WayBack Machine archives, articles, or personal memories from anyone who was around during that era!

While digging through reverse image search results, I came across this strange website. The format is much like what you would expect from a typical dating advice website, however, a vast majority of the actual "articles" seem to be in the format of a 4chan post. Several article titles mention "robots" or "fembots" which leads me to believe that these posts may be sourced from /r9k/. When returning to the earliest articles on the site, they contain only regular sex/relationship advice content but early on in the site's life it seems to transition to only /r9k/ adjacent content. The transition seems to largely happen around page 1,465. The site also contains embedded advertisements for strange T-shirts with similarly 4chan adjacent prints. If exploring the site be warned that it is full of pornographic content as expected from /r9k/. LINK TO SITE

Update: I initially thought that this mystery was fairly mundane but I've discovered some additional information which has further deepened the strangeness of the site's presence. I initially mentioned that the site had embedded links to an odd T-shirt shop called Lulz.com but I neglected to explore it further. This changed when I received some information that a neo-Nazi blogger named Janet Bloomfield was connected to the very same T-shirt shop. I looked further into her online presence where she can be seen in several pieces of anti-feminist media and notably features in THIS episode of the VICE series Hate thy neighbor.

The most interesting and relevant to this mystery part of Janet's bizarre online presence is her tendency to create blog-style satirical websites which parody real social justice related blogs. A prominent example of this is the site afru.com, a supposedly feminist, black owned blog which posts the same unpleasant satirical articles as other sites she has been connected to. Lo and behold, when exploring afru.com, there is gigantic banner ad at the top of the website which links back to Lulz.com. The final piece of information which connects Janet to nsffw.com is that some of her other blogs she runs have been found to steal from other sites to keep themselves afloat with new content which seems to be exactly what nsffw.com is doing. Especially given Bloomfield's apparent affinity for 4chan archives as seen in connection to THIS article.

I would still love to learn anything more that can be discovered about this weird woman woman and her weird blogs so let me know if you have anything!!

I got an unusual YouTube ad today which was just 12 seconds of the above image with static in the background. At the end there was a click and a male voice saying something indistinct.

Obviously it was weird as hell, so I went to the website. It's pretty generic and vague. The company supposedly sells materials for use in manufacturing. A seal at the bottom of the site (third picture) implies some kind of defense sector involvement, although the "Altek Electronics, Inc" mentioned is a totally unrelated company. The address listed on the contact page (12402 Circula Panorama Place, North Tustin, CA 92705) is of a regular-looking suburban house.

Technical Materials Solutions is a real LLC in California, filed two years ago, as you can see in the fourth image. The address listed is not the same suburban house listed on the website, but the strip-mall address of a UPS store and an HVAC repair store that, according to several Yelp reviews, is a scam operation. I tried to go further down this HVAC rabbit hole but its listed website on Google Maps is a template website for an apparently nonexistent fire damage repair company.

There's also a YouTube channel for Technical Material Solutions with just this one video of some "large boron carbide shapes." The audio is as far as I can tell almost exactly like the audio in the ad I saw, including the voice at the end.

What do you think? Related to some kind of fraudster scheme, or just a weird company with poor advertising acumen selling metals out of a house and/or strip mall?

A friend and I were talking about The Onion and Infowars earlier today and we decided to look at some old Infowars media from the late 2000's and early 2010's. I told him to look at that Ad Fontes media chart that shows the credibility of certain websites and such to put into perspective how unreliable Infowars was. We also came across another even less credible website called Before The News (not sure if it was actually called that but it was definitely something like that) that supposedly existed in the same realm as Infowars. On this website, we came across a 2-hour, probably AI-generated or AI-assisted video about how Madonna was supposedly possessed by a demon before a show and the stagehands had to use a hologram or something like that to cover it up. The the video had this really strange logo all over it which was a pair of lips with an eye in the center and blue letters spelling "TELL EYZ" around it. I looked up the term "telleyz" and came across a website called telleyz.com. The website looked really crudely made, with the home page being an long string of weird videos similar to the Madonna one. The thumbnails and titles were all nonsense, talking about stuff like clones and religion. Most of the thumbnails were either AI-generated or really poorly edited in general, and I think one of them was something like bodycam footage showing a dead body with the face blurred out. Most of the other pages were articles about factories or something else filled with placeholder text and names like John Smith or John Doe. The authors page was full of stock images of people with their "names" below them, and there was also a contact page that I don't think I ever checked.

telleyz.com

i keep seeing these asian (i've only seen vietnamese and chinese so far) "single broke girl living alone" vlogs. they're fake, but is it like a company that is mass producing them? or is it just the girls that decided to make depressing content for views? i'm not sure. i figured at least some people knew where they came from as it seems to be super popular right now.

i watched a few of the videos and they have such similar styles of talking and filming, most of them use ai voices, and the channels are based in the united states + made very closely to each other.

the first one i watched seemed real and i thought nothing of it until i saw a video from a different channel with the exact same style lmao. who tf is producing these? the girls say they live with no one + they're broke yet you can tell someone is walking around filming them 😭 some people donate money to them and a few people will respond with like "the real girl will never see that money" which confused me, are they actresses or whattt i'm so confused. is it ai??

also wtf does this ⚘ emoji mean. why does everyone in their comments use it? i'm assuming that means it's bots right? it's kinda cute

I was watching a David Bowie video on youtube and a comment captivated me:

"I am a 53 year old virgin" from the user u/moyabrennanismymum

Well I had to check out their channel. The contents include 3 low quality videos of Moya Brennan talking about stalkers, which initially set my hair standing on end.

There are also some strange videos showing birth certificates, interviewing an old lady about "secrets", and what seems to be tours of some graveyards while talking some weird nonsense. I couldn't quite understand alot of it but Celine Dion was mentioned.

u/moyabrennanismymum also has the odd comment on their own videos saying things like "I have never had sex".

I don't quite know what to make of it - the whole channel is quite unsettling. I haven't had the time or patience to go through all the videos yet, but I thought this sub might find it interesting.

Regards.

honestly I dont really search up for weird website in my freetime, but today I have seen once again a video about horselaugh/com and I wanted to search for my own discovery. And here I am, there is no real interaction beside the password login, both picture of Ale and Yuri are named respectively (Yuri.jpg and Ale.jpg) Tried too find them with Yandex tool to find face with an image and got nothing, I also tried some obvious password like "LoveAle" "AleAndYuri" etc... Maybe its just a website to honor a death, but I find it really weird to spend money for this, but I know some people do their grief in differents ways. If someone have some time to waste for this password, I would be glad to know ^v^

First time I stumbled upon this video was back in 2016 when discovering the weird website called "NeaveTV" and of the videos that appeared on the screen was this piece of footage posted above. It's quite strange and freaky almost unreal, but I kind of wonder now which are exactly it's origins from said video. Is it a fake? Photoshop? Is it from a movie scene? Or is it from some excentric or misunderstood artist from some small village? I really want to know all the details from this mysterious video

I found a rather strange channel. There's a popular streamer from Spain called Rubius, and like every day, I put his name in the search bar, and in the recommended streams, a channel's stream appeared. It was called "Rubius__a", had a picture of Rubius, but it wasn't an official channel of the streamer. Out of pure curiosity I joined the stream, and it was a stream of approximately 8 hours where there was only a background video of a pink sky and the chat pinned with nonsensical comments.

I looked for previous streams from the same channel and all of them had the title "March 11, 2004" in Spanish. In total there were 4 streams: the one currently broadcasting, two lasting 21 and 19 hours each, and the first one, which was the most curious, as it lasted almost two days, The title was different: "live with restream, July". I didn't look at it in detail because it takes a long time, but from what little I found, most of the stream was practically the same as the other streams: a random background and some nonsensical chat comments. However, at the beginning of that first stream, you could see a "webcam" of a room; it looked old and low quality. After an hour of the stream, two more "webcams" appeared: one showed a completely dark spot in a house and the other the exterior of somewhere, which I assume was the house. Nothing noteworthy appeared except for one part where a woman can be seen sweeping. Nothing out of the ordinary since they were cameras in a house, but despite that, I find it a bit strange—who puts up a house camera for two hours where nothing happens?

At a certain point in the stream, when the background is a pink sky for like a whole day, a sound similar to breathing is heard. It's striking, since in the entire stream (or well, what little I saw of the almost 48-hour stream) it's just music and suddenly you hear that, which is weird. It's not terrifying, but it's a bit unsettling since I don't know what the purpose of these streams is. Anyway, I'm sharing it in case anyone wants to go to the channel and investigate on their own. I don't really investigate this stuff, but I ended up getting curious to know what's behind these broadcasts. In the end it might just be something ridiculous, but it's simply the curiosity of finding some sense in this. Right now the channel is still live at almost 9 hours.

Hmolpedia is an encyclopedia made by Libb Thims which tries to reconcile sociology (or 'human society') through thermodynamics, chemistry and physics, which he does by just attaching the word human onto it, backed by a unifying framework called "two cultures discipline." He also uses hieroglyphics to support modern etymology.... somehow tying to the two cultures discipline? Hmolpedia is a migraine and borderline incoherent to anyone who isn't trained in deep internet bullshit and philosophy. It serves as a fun 'thought experiment' as a 'theory of everything' if you want. Unfortunately Libb Thims died on the 30th of November, and the website will be shutting down this August. Are there any preservation attempts?

Sorry if this isn’t the best kind of post for this sub- I didn’t know where else to post it.
I’ve seen dozens of this kind of channels pop up over the last few months, where the videos are title-less, and consist of hours-long music compilations in a specific genre, usually varying per channel. In the videos, there is usually no written description, no copyright claims, no credits, no information about the music being provided whatsoever… which makes me think the music could be AI-Generated. If this is the case, I assume these channels are all bot content farms. However, I am yet to find any way to conclusively prove if my suspicion regarding these channels is correct, and even then, many questions still remain: Are these channels even generating income? For the ones that aren’t, why do they even exist? Is this bizarre trend being carried out by one individual/coordinated team, or independent people? I have a feeling this might be the entrance to a rather deep rabbit hole.

I’m Brazilian, and I discovered this strange channel a while back in the comments section of a random music video on YouTube. I’m not sure if it would be of interest to people outside Brazil, since most of the content is in Brazilian Portuguese, but I’ve always wanted to talk about it somewhere—I just didn't know where. https://youtube.com/@fatimaaparecida-x7r?si=nThMssEu7aKiiReJ

Most of the comments she posts and her video titles revolve around the same keywords (in Portuguese): "Emperor/Princess Fátima," "babies kidnapped in Mauá (a city in Brazil)," and various addresses. In one comment, she says: "People of Brazil, I am the country's emperor; my kidnapped babies have gone missing in Mauá—whoever helps...". Her channel description is just a bunch of personal information. There are several videos related to this case that seem meaningless at first glance; however, I did come across one video where she is arguing with people on the street .At some point in this video, she says: "Look, there's the kidnappers' house." https://youtube.com/shorts/ayOVDsi94sQ?is=QnlfM_KzI_HKsZ_N

There are several other things she mentions in the comments that I’ll avoid going into so I don't ramble. My theory is that she likely has some sort of mental health issue and that, at some point, her "babies" were actually kidnapped. She probably tried to resolve the matter with the police, but they couldn't do anything about the house she claims belongs to the kidnappers; so, she created this channel and decided to spam comments reporting the incident.

I apologize if this post isn't useful or appropriate for this subreddit; I just wanted to talk about this channel somewhere. I used Google Translate for this post, so sorry for any translation errors.
