Here’s some bad news: the Internet isn’t all cute cats and unicorns. Wait, you already know that? We’re pretty sure you have no idea about the kind of gross and downright disturbing imagery we’re talking about!
People are frequently tricked into searching for particular terms on Google without knowing that seemingly innocent terms are actually something that might scar you for life (or at least a day). We’ve compiled a list of things that you should never Google. Most of these things, once seen, can never be unseen.
PD: This page is completely SFW and informative. If you’re Curious George and really want to look at these, make sure you turn your safe search mode off and ..have fun?
1. Blue Waffles
Apart from a few photoshopped images of actual blue waffles, you’ll be treated to a very visual lesson of severe genitalia infections! Even if you’re someone who is in the medical field or just very curious, you definitely shouldn’t look it up because it’s super gross.
2. ‘Pressure cooker bombs’ with ‘backpacks’
In 2013, a man in New York Googled “pressure cooker bombs” and “backpacks” from his computer. The police showed up at his house the next day, as per this report. Even though the man was just curious and not criminal, the combination of these words triggered the police. Remember, you’re always being watched on the internet.
3. Calculus bridge
Though it sounds like a mathematical term, in the dental world a calculus bridge is an intense oral plaque build-up that leads to receding gums. Since the term is so misleading, it has been used to troll a lot of people online.
4. R Budd Dwyer
R Bud Dwyer was a politician who was involved in a scandal in which he cheated taxpayers out of their money. At a press conference where he was supposed to address the scandal, he took out a gun and shot himself in the head. The whole thing broadcast live on TV and is available online. Trust us, it’s something you cannot un-see.
5. Two girls one cup
There’s nobody on the internet who doesn’t know what this is. However, if you’re one of the few ‘pure’ ones (God bless) that haven’t searched for it or seen it yet, we’ll save you the trouble: it’s two women, a cup and a whole lot of feces.

6. Clock spider
Even if you don’t have a thing against spiders, looking at clock spiders will turn you into an arachnophobe. To avoid getting the heebie-jeebies, don’t Google Image Search for this term.
7. Lamprey eel
If you’re looking at the photo we’ve put here and thinking ‘This isn’t that bad. How bad could the Google Image results be?’ You, my friend, are in for a world of surprise because it gets SO MUCH WORSE. This type of eel has a mouth full of teeth and the imagery is precisely what nighmares are made of.
We have warned you!
