The drive of the sacrificing the newborn one is that he just killed his newborn child and did not get his wife back. Now he has to track down that other kid in order to correctly perform the ritual.

I liked the one about the coffin. I think the suggestion is that EVERYONE is conscious within their own corpse, until their name is no longer spoken. Meaning you're a corpse lying motionless in a coffin for decades, maybe centuries.

for the story at 5:57, the whole premise of the story is the six days of cackling are the 6 days of creation from the Bible, followed by 24 hours of silence, showing the day of rest that God took, and then 2000 years of cackling, representing the 2000 years that humans have been like actually keeping track of time, so I guess all of humanity. thats my guess!

[@haroldp.sadwood1181]

I think the Biblical parallels are kind of clever, but I found the concept creepier before I realized that.

[@theguileraven7014]

You misunderstood 5:09 as well. The implication is that the guy murdered his newborn son as part of the deal to resurrect his wife, but his newborn son is NOT his first born, so he basically killed him for no reason and his wife won’t come back unless he tracks down his other son.

[@Enchanteddy]

Okay but bro, sometimes you gotta think a bit outside the box lmao The coffin one is actually really good. It's as if hell is real, only so much differently than anyone expected. Your soul is basically trapped inside that coffin, inside your rotting body, and to think that this is real and many famous people will never get their rest is pretty harsh. We still talk about Marilyn Monroe, Einstein, Princess Diana, Van Gogh, and so on and so forth. That's horrifying.

[@Enchanteddy]

The Rollercoaster one, too. Like why don't you understand that, it's such an easy premise lol. He was obviously injured/cut in half, to make him be the right height bc he was too tall. Last one too. If you spend a little more time to think about it, it is actually creepy. Does the patient just imagine that the doctor wrote that, meaning the doctor is really just not getting him the medication he needs? Or does he really also see something, and that means the patient maybe doesn't at all have psychosis?

[@uncroppedsoop]

​@@Enchanteddy pretty sure the rollercoaster one just came off as too goofy

[@Stinkydinkydo]

No no no see the kicker of the one with the demon and the firstborn was that he just killed his kid for nothing bc his actual first born is out there somewhere and now he just killed a baby for no reason, and has to decide if he's going to go hunt down this first spring break baby or just not get his dead wife back. So he got double crossed. Still not scary and really just silly but I like the complexity

[@ArcanineEspeon]

4:20 I actually find this one pretty creepy, probably because I'm one of the (worldwide, not all that many) people who's read the SCP-001 files where one of the O5 council dies, and then finds out your consciousness literally lives inside your dead body with no ability to do anything. So I immediately assumed that was what this was talking about, but it makes total sense that most people wouldn't.

5:52 The 6 days are god creating the world. The 24 hours of silence is him resting on the 7th day. The 2,000 years of weeping is saying that the world was screwed after Jesus died. It's a religious story.

[@CatholicaVeritasIndonesia]

That’s cool

[@Oh_the_humanity]

[5:50] That second sentence is likely referring to the Judeo-Christian Creation Story. In said story, God spent 6 days creating the universe, and rested on the 7th, before unveiling the universe. The horror aspect comes from how the A.I., presumably with some further knowledge, interpreted this as a being cackling maniacally the entire time. Which somehow ended in a universe capable of creating 2000 years of suffering and hopeless weeping. Essentially, the post is edgy bible lore featuring robots.

Okay, the one about the body rotting in the grave, I think he's playing on the idea that he doesn't get to rest until he is completely forgotten on Earth. Something like that. He's not immortal. But it is still a very abstract idea. But too far from most of us to really think about seriously.

That's not scary at all, fictional horror needs to be more creative than turning on the news at night. Plus, if that were the case he'd be found in the closet, but he's missing, so clearly that's not the case.

[@LaydiNite]

As some others pointed out, the idea behind the coffin story is that the narrator was dead, but still aware of everything happening to their body, and that it would stay that way until he was finally forgotten. That also adds an interesting downside to achieving fame in life. You also missed the point on the "spring break" story. He had already sacrificed his newborn child, and only afterward found out it wasn't what was needed for the demon's deal. He's killed the baby for nothing. The audio file story is based on the Genesis concept of the creation of the world: God spending six days creating the world and resting on the seventh. The cackling and subsequent weeping is implying that the purpose of that creation was sadism, and that suffering is the meaning of life. The point about listening to 2000 years of audio still stands though.

okay, thoughts Coffin Story: you’re taking the story at face value, which is kinda frustrating because if you actually think about for even a second, it’s actually pretty terrifying. [EDIT: my dumb ass made the typo saying the coffin story was "terrible" when I genuinely meant to type "terrifying"] The narrator isn’t immortal, it’s an idea that your soul is alive as long as your legacy is alive. The idea is that the narrator is just a normal person. Sometimes you have some really odd taste in these, and I’m just surprised you immediately thought that I guess he’s alive and breathing despite it clearly being about one’s legacy. Sacrifice Story: At not point is it explained that the man offered his kid alive and well and that the demon is the one who kills the child necessary. The idea is that the man killed his child himself and he did it for nothing, so now he has a dead wife AND child. This one’s more on the story’s phrasing itself than anything else because I didn’t get it either until I saw other people explaining. AI Story: The numbers are specific, yes, but not arbitrary, not by any means; they’re measurements of time, this is like the one story of “and then one gorillion dead raccoons fell from the sky!!!1!1!”. Again, yours taking it face value, but even then this one kinda just feels like Edgy Redditor atheism: the Horror Story. [EDIT]: i completely forgot about it that’s how shit it was but yeah this one is still kind of a stinker, but the numbers are nowhere near as arbitrary as the “last week is 700” or whatever story. The actual meaning is pretty clear, and I think if it tried to explain it further, then you would’ve knocked it for being too straightforward. damn, i’m saying all that for a story I didn’t even like. Grocery Store Story: yeah this one’s good, but like I personally could do without the attempt to sidetrack it with the ice cream comment, kinda distracts from its quality. Wages Story: same thoughts exactly, lmao Grief Story: I mean, it IS an instance of “third sentence better”. Horror movies tend to end on a better note, and even then it doesn’t really matter. The original wasn’t scary, so making it into a better story regardless of horror is a win to me.

For the coffin story, it says "I hope my infamy is short-lived", implying they aren't a normal person and instead did something horrible

@@ultimazilla9814 do you think people who do bad things are mutants or superhumans? I said "normal person" as in, they don't have immortality or some shit.

The "good" ones make me long for the days of Knife Guy and Meat Worm.

[@Space-Milk]

The one about the heart transplant isnt about being evil and it was actually really good just a guy favoring his life over his kid's
