fun fact - i believe the Muncie town mystery is actually about Muncie, IL. There’s a nearby town called Homer, and the town east of these cities is Danville, which has a community college. The 2020 census says that Muncie had a population of 157, which means that the population has significantly increased to when that post was made, or had significantly decreased after it.

Some people just don't understand how big the planet is. There's no population hoax, it's just that a person's perception is based on an extremely limited physical area and time frame. Do they expect to see everyone out and about every day as if they're putting on a show for anyone who happens to be driving through? Also, how on earth does someone conclude that climate change isn't real based on a small sampling of towns/hamlets that seem unpopulated?

4chan attracts a lot of people who like to believe they are smarter than the average person and people who are very predisposed to believe in conspiracy theories. Which leads to a lot of ridiculous posts, like this one

[@stopmakingeyesatme1290]

It seems like the OP has this idea that climate change is supposed to be happening because the world is teeming with people littering and using too much water and stuff. To be fair, that is kind of how I remember it being presented to me as a kid. It wasn't until later that I realized most climate change is driven by large-scale agriculture, industrial waste, constant air travel around the globe, etc.

Needless to say, even if the harebrained scheme of injecting modified worm blood achieved the effect Anon desired without any immediate toxicity or immune response, it would quickly kill him anyway. Our bodies aren't equipped to deal with oxygen concentrations any higher than what we normally experience, and we can't even take the same concentration at higher atmospheric pressures. If he didn't rapidly succumb to hyperoxemia, the longer-term oxidative stress would age him significantly faster than normal and kill him that way.

Overpopulation actually is fake though. Had multiple professors at university discuss how it's an obvious red herring. This was also before university became overtly political and filled with shills.

[@agatazietek9098]

Ikr. To be honest, I myself don't really believe in overpopulation on a global scale, because the issue has roots in some... concerning ideologies and the problem seems to be primarily with overconsumption. But saying everywhere is empty and desolate? I live in a town there's plenty of life and activity even if you go by to nearby villages. Sometimes I'm surprised how my grandparents' village which has like 2k inhabitants has a park and there's always sooo many teens and kids walking around both on weekends and weekdays, feels like the entire young population of the area spends all their free time there. And it's not even a highly populated area

[@MandenTV]

Overpopulation is confined to metropolises so yes, he’s right.

[@slumbernautica]

I’ll say this about the issue of hearing/seeing concerning things and not calling the police…in the US, it’s soooooo hard to properly gauge when it’s worth getting police involved. Especially when you live in predominantly black neighborhoods or areas with a lot of undocumented people (as I do) because calling the police ALWAYS comes with the risk of inviting additional violence against vulnerable people. There have been so many times I’ve heard concerning things and had to agonize over whether I’m helping or hurting by calling the police. I live in a city that’s made national news time and time again with fatal cases of police brutality, and so many of them are cases where the police didn’t really need to be called in the first place. It’s a really tough call to make. I’m disabled myself and even when I feel like *I* might be in danger, I am afraid to call the police. There’s a well known recent case in my city where an autistic man having a meltdown was tased, shot, and killed by the police. Between my autism and history of psychiatric episodes (and trauma regarding police), I have such a deep seated fear of having a particularly scary episode in front of police and being hurt because of it. I HATE that I live in a place where I don’t feel like I have a totally safe resource to call when I feel like there’s danger. Deeply caring about others and the safety of your community can make these decisions agonizing, and the worse police brutality gets in the US the stronger the bystander effect becomes.

Earning 70 dollars on those offer sites is incredibly hard . That is such a high minimum payout . Most are literally 1 dollar . The website gets the profit from the all the offers you do complete and when you inevitably quit before 70 dollars because it takes forever they literally don’t have to payout anything.

Sadly, there's also a good chance that those were kids being abused by their own family. It's much more common for people to be abused or trafficked by those they're close to. And it would explain why no one has ever been able to identify them.

[@poolhalljunkie9]

I don't think it's her either but I understand why the mother would like to believe it was. I have no doubt there are networks and they're probably ran by high powered and rich people which is why nothing is being done about it. More could definitely be done if they were really worried about it but law enforcement makes money fining law abiding citizens who will actually pay than catching real criminals. Not to mention there's no telling who gets paid what to turn the other way.

34:29 they're framing it as a global conspiracy but the literal explanation is capitalism. Everything has a price tag and laws/restrictions. Things are too expensive to do, even simple activities that were once common are now a luxury, or there is no time for them. Places are too expensive to live in now and new houses are built that people still won't be able to afford. It's the same everywhere else. Certainly areas make this seem more common than others, though.

Just a little story about reporting concerning sounds to the police: Many years ago, a friend of mine had the police show up at her apartment. Someone else in her building had reported that it sounded like she was slowly chopping up a body with an axe and then periodically flushing pieces down the toilet. In reality, my friend was really sick a throwing up a lot. She was also really cold and the apartment had bad heating, so she was using her hair dryer to try and warm herself up. So she would blow dry, then turn it off and throw up, and then turn it on again. Her neighbours were very relieved to find out no one had been murdered lol.

The abandoned cities in Japan are an extremely interesting rabbit hole. Whole cities that were built, yet never lived in or occupied.

[@FrostRare]

Munsitown might have been a closed community for either witness protection or for people who work for a classified element of the government. It’s too much trouble, if you have a large group of individuals working on an intelligence or weapons program, to have them need to live secret lives within general public. Much like it’s Area 51 or the Manhattan Project, people were simply brought there to work and live. Even if those people were janitors, secretaries, mechanics, etc. they need to live in a cloistered society. This could explain why the various employees were all the same people: because the entire town works at set times and they leave a couple of people there to watch over the town. That said, they never expect strangers entering, so those facilities would never normally be open. However, they cannot risk revealing the nature of the area, so they need to pretend like it’s normally functioning. There’s a witness protection community near me and it’s very sketchy. It feels totally empty, it’s so clean and new, there are cameras everywhere, and it’s literally in the middle of the woods.

Overpopulation is a largely discredited theory. Malthus was wrong. Capitalism is absolutely the most fundamental cause of climate change.

Maverick Files did a video on Empty Towns including the Hawthorne post. Weird thing about Hawthorne is aside from the cool tanks they got out front the Ordnance Museum, there's at least 20 buildings between homes, businesses and public buildings that have purple or blue roofs when seen from above. The street view's pretty hazy which changes a lot of colors. However there is the "remains" of a former town out by the Army Depot. The only building left is a school which appears to be historically designated and few little ones connected to it. But you can see the footprint of all the old buildings and roads. I spent several hours with an old map found online and google maps figuring out where all the buildings were. Lotta fun.

Not only is the hand not in a position where this motion would be possible, there is also clearly no blood visable in the syringe. 2: the veins on the inner wrist are incredibly tiny and fragile. It would take great skill from even an experienced injector to access them and a very fine needle. 3: blood flows quickly. It takes a red blood cell less than one minute to travel out of the heart, around the entire body, and back. Even if the magical glow juice was initially visable through the skin, it would be dispersed almost instantly. 4: I mean, come on. Just look at it.

Empty towns one makes me laugh a bit because it’s Nevada. This place is a desolate wasteland lol. Hawthorne is basically a big ammo depot not a popping town. Nevada outside of Vegas, Carson and Reno are pretty empty really

[@lizardqueen3905]

Haven't finished watching the segment yet- But I've driven through Hawthorne Nevada and had the same thought that it was strange. We ended up finding a single bar that was open to try to get lunch, they served no food and upon entering we were asked what we were doing there. Edit: finished the segment, we saw no one in uniform, only a handful of older men. The casino was closed, nothing was open save for the bar, it was last year on a Friday at Noon.

[@MarsPotatoes]

Hawthorne is pretty much a less than 3000 population ammo depot. Pretty much every Nevada town that isn’t Reno, Carson or Vegas is gonna be pretty barren. My dad used to work in Hawthorne around 30 years ago and it was pretty dead then too

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but Marilyn Manson once claimed that he took the infamous picture of the bound girl and boy. He said that he used to take Polaroids that looked nefarious and leave them in parking lots as a prank, and he was (allegedly) living in Florida at the time.

[@sweetrollpapa]

The story from around 29:00 reminded me of a town in my state, but it has a larger population. It sounds like they're talking about Muncie, Illinois!

That’s not a human rib bone. Without a scale in the photo it’s hard to tell from the overall size but it looks like it’s from animal. The body of the rib is flattened in the wrong direction to be human. But I tip my hat to the grand kid who was very brave to go down there alone! I could never!

Lets investigate...

[@mariawhite7337]

Can confirm there are towns in Utah that match the description. DEFINATELY NOT Richfield. The whole of everything closer to Salt Lake is almost it's own megacity full of suburbs and stuff. It actually kind of sounds like Green River. But not really. Maybe Helper, but still no dice. Helper is small and has a lot of tiny side streets, and while it is mashed in with Price the two could be mistaken for a single town. HOWEVER Helper has the name all over the place. So it would have been unmistakable. I think it was Toole. (Pronounce two-will-ah, I know it's weird) It's around a Big ass Army base thing. So it makes sense to me it was Toole. Some people said he got to Kooshram. (Guess how it is pronounced!) However.... it's too small I think. And pretty dam far down from 89. You're talking like HALF THE STATE away. I would LIKE to ask the dude if he remembers going over or around the Great Salt Lake, cause there are a few bridges that would have had him come off and maybe even through Antelope Island (not that one) and brush by Magna. That would have had him on 80. The reason why I would point this out is that it's late, and he could have been mistaken on the road sign. And 9 and 0 can sort of be mushed to look similar particularly at night and in the dark while you're tired as shit. It could have also been Nephi. I'm honestly torn cause I lean towards Toole, but still. There are a LOT of towns in Utah that are basically just tourist towns so they lay empty most of the year. If he remembers the 89, that means he was going down from the panhandle. Also ask if he recalls Salt Lake or the specific DAY he was traveling. Utah is still pretty darn religious for if it was a sunday and going to Monday this makes a big of sense and depending on the holiday (some of which are exclusively Mormon ones) I'd say it could have even been the Salt Lake City area. Cause urban Sprawl is HUGE. Like I said before, that whole area around Salt Lake might as well be called a mega city cause it's all connected by the sprawl .

[@nickinportland]

I have a deserted movie theatre story not a town tho. weirdest movie experience of my life. My friend couldn’t make it last minute so just went on my own. Tues night at the mall, walked up, nobody at the ticket counter, nobody inside. Finally I just walked in after waiting 10 min. Nobody at the food counter, nobody in the theatre. Watched it completely alone. I even went and checked for people around halfway cause I was getting freaked out 😂. Finished the movie, walked out, didn’t see a soul and drove home. Got no explanation.

[@Kneon_Knight]

Free movie. Cool.

@@Kneon_Knight I thought the same. It was a bit creepy. Probably the most an adult has been freaked out watching coroline 😂.

[@SeasDund]

i got a creepy visiting town story. i'm from the scottish highlands and used to rural area feeling/abandoned little settlements because the highlands has kind of sadly turned into a ghost town ever since second home/airbnb craze. i was working up in the northwest highlands (near cape wrath area) doing community tutoring. i didnt find any of the areas i went to creepy at all, i found a lot of it really fun and welcoming actually... except for durness. me and my coworker were situated in the hall/gym building in durness, which generally was pretty dark and strange feeling. at every single other place we went to, we met at least someone looking for our help, and usually met with community organisers/building custodians, but in durness, nobody. we went back four times and still nobody. so we were both sitting in this creepy dark room waiting for people who did not come, and occasionally we'd hear loud creaking or what we thought was footsteps in the building but whenever we'd go and check there would be nobody there. really weird and creepy experience. it's really odd because durness has a comparatively high population compared to other settlements we visited up there (eg sleat and kinlochbervie for example) but we never got that creepy feeling when we were working there, even if the buildings we used were older/more dilapidated. im sure durness is lovely, and the view was really nice, it was just a really odd month visiting there because the building was so noisy and we saw literally nobody

[@Urfavebandsux]

yeah that sounds like Hawthorne Nevada. It's an Air Force Base town super right-wing, super terrifying from the two times I was there.

[@wfjhDUI]

38:34 I wouldn't be too surprised if the injection was real and OP simply survived. There's probably some glowing substance that's relatively safe to inject. Based on brief googling, some plausible candidates are tonic water and vitamin B-12. Also, OP might not have even hit a vein. If it went under the skin then the immediate risk would be less severe. The intensity of the glow seems very unusual though.

[@percyorsomething2641]

13:59 On this. I remember when I was little, my family was on a road trip, presumably for some short vacation or to go see family, and we stopped to get gas. There was a middle aged man (as young as 35 and as old as 65, I was really bad at telling age when I was little) getting gas, and he was yelling at the young woman he was with (probably between 16 and early 20s). My dad sat back in the car and watched them for a bit, telling my mom how concerned for the woman he was. I was scared for her too and wouldn’t take my eyes off her. I think he did eventually call 911, or at least write down the man's license plate number. I'll always be grateful for being raised by a man who taught me to be proactive and responsible for not only my safety, but the safety of others as well.

The "overpopulation is a myth" anon is peak conspiracy brain poisoning lmao "Akchually, there's not that many people living on the countryside in my particular European country and we don't have any problem with resources, so obviously overpopulation is a myth and there's probably only like a million people living on the planet right now. Wake up, sheeple!" Yeah, buddy, there was this whole thing about rapid urbanisation last century AND you live in Europe which will only have to deal with those issues later, not the developing countries already dealing with them.

I thought it was so funny. My guy has seen a fraction of the world and thinks its like that everywhere. I have the opposite issue, I see how full malls and shopping centers are on the weekends, how bad traffic is and how all parking is always full and wonder how there's enough places for everyone to live.

[@ElSantoLuchador]

Back in the day you had to get your photographs developed. It seems strange the photo that was found wasn’t flagged at the photo shop, as it was most certainly seen by the developer. Yes, the person could have had their own darkroom, but that was unusual for color photographs. What’s my point? It gives some credence to the brother and sister messing around theory.

[@logert3921]

Something that I think that people should know is that the world is going through an “aging population” phase. Populations are decreasing in almost every country outside of the US, India, and parts of Africa. We are not overpopulated (except maybe India), but the issue of climate change is very real. Hotter summers and colder winters along with hellish weather patterns with monstrous tropical storms is no joke. This is no reason to fear, though. At very very worst the population will decrease by about 1 billion, but climate science with carbon sinks and new energy sources will be key. Long story short we are not overpopulated and likely won’t ever be, unless some sort of catastrophe happens.

[@allineedis1mike81]

I wonder if the word that the creepy doomsday grandpa used was an ossuary? Its a small box some cultures put the bones of their departed in after a certain amount of time has passed. I was thinking that or an abattoir. Because my mind just goes to the creepiest thing I can think of with creepy reddit stories. The whole "he came back different from the war" thing had me sure they were gonna find a box of ears on a string or Nazi memorabilia on an altar. Probably both.

5:59 Look at the eyebrows. Those are two different women.

[@EagleTimberWolf]

Tbh the difference doesn't seem to be that big and more importantly, I highly doubt traffickers would allow victims to pluck or groom their brows so that could potentially explain any inconsistencies. And that's not even taking into consideration that some will forcibly alter the victim's appearance to try to prevent recognition (i.e. things like hair dying/cutting, etc). Not saying you're wrong of course, just that trying to gage who it is based solely on eyebrows isn't exactly full proof.

[@veryberrykeri]

there's a few issues with the blood thing. when it comes to what blood does, all blood needs to do is oxidize relatively stably and reduce again. just like with all aerobic life, because of our shared endosymbiotic ancestry, our body can only function using the latent energy of oxygen as a main driver for all other processes. however, as with all mammals, we have developed iron (ferrous) based blood and our bodily processes are designed both to create and reduce that type specifically. i am not any type of expert on the logistics of alteration of human blood binding protein, but i believe that 1: your body would not necessarily be capable of reduction of any non-ferrous blood binding protein without genetic alteration. even if by chance it was, we run into problem 2: your body is not naturally capable of production of any non-ferrous blood binding protein, and we replace blood readily--so any possible benefit of injection would be eliminated entirely every 12 weeks. this genetic oversight compounds the already risky concept of letting chromium, a known carcinogen, anywhere in your body, with the requirement of altering a not-insignificant portion of your dna for construction and/or reduction capability. any homemade human alteration is risky at best, even when it's something like fixing an allergy, and something as life-essential as your literal blood is not anything anyone in their right mind would attempt. and this is not to mention the idea that your body is physically designed around your particular ferrous blood binder, and altering your blood saturation could fuck with your brain and cells in ways no one could possibly foresee.

[@baye3224]

I’ve actually traveled through an empty town before multiple times that shouldn’t have been so empty. It’s a place in California. I must have been through there once a year for most of my childhood, including into my teenage years, so it’s not like my memories are just fuzzy. Last time I was there my mom and I stopped to get gas at a completely empty gas station, but the pump worked. My explanation for this is that the town is really small and underpopulated, and we were typically passing through on very hot afternoons during the summer when most people were likely to be inside. It’s definitely very eerie though.
