mycatscrimes posted:https://www.mississippifreepress.org/40991/cold-cases-officials-keeping-bodies-for-personal-collections-spurred-push-for-new-law quote:“rouge anthropologists” the part about dexter wade is the key here. the system, or lack of one, was maintained like this to enable the officials to do what they tried to do with dexter wade: cover up the wrongful deaths of black people by just expeditiously disposing of the corpses without leaving any way for people to investigate poo poo. let 'em be missing persons forever. the only reason hinds county and jackson pd are changing their rules are because this time they got caught and are being sued and can't bury the suit in a similarly unmarked pauper's grave due to social media attention. there's a lot of cops all over the country who benefit from being able to conveniently lose people's dead bodies

Is there another/more dedicated thread for non-crime topics? Stuff like The Bloop, animals acting weird, other generally unexplained things? I don't have anything to contribute, but this thread never pulled up from the murders/child abuse, and the fringe science thread died in like 2019. Finally made it to the end and regretting that I did

Finally made it to the end and regretting that I did There's Cryptids and Conspiracies which tries to steer away from humans being awful or current political crazies. Not exactly the same as genuinely unexplained since it's mostly about things we know are nonsense, but has some fun content. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3961328

There's also a pseudoscience thread, if you just want laughable weirdness that may not have malice behind it. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3100175

Do You Like These AI Images of Dying, Mutilated Children? Facebook Algorithm Wonders Heads up: AI images of dying, mutilated children Every time I check Facebook I feel like I’ve entered into a Walmart on discontinued cough syrup. It’s gotten weird with the AI garbage.

I guess the most mysterious song on the internet (“Ulterior Motives”/” Everybody Knows That”) has been definitively sourced to a 1986 photographic film, Angels of Passion: https://www.stereogum.com/2261440/mysterious-viral-80s-song-everybody-knows-that-finally-identified-after-three-year-hunt/news/ I don’t know if that fits the criteria for this thread, but it might lighten the mood temporarily.

I AM GRANDO posted:I guess the most mysterious song on the internet (“Ulterior Motives”/” Everybody Knows That”) has been definitively sourced to a 1986 photographic film, Angels of Passion: I’d say that discussion of “lost media” can definitely fit this thread. Sometimes it is some eerie stuff, but even in cases like this one it’s an unsettling reminder that having hundreds of people working on a question with nigh-infinite connection and information at their fingertips might never find an answer and some things may never be explained. Crimes, cryptids, weird VHS tapes from Goodwill - we must accept the fact that there is still an Unknowable. Also, that the internet is becoming the polar opposite of connection and information, which is bizarre to watch as an elder millennial who lived through the “holy poo poo! The encyclopedia is all just there if I type in this string of characters? I don’t need to put a disc in anywhere?!? I’m going to be the smartest person ever! Society is about to improve a hundredfold!” naïveté of the turn of the century.

If we are doing lost songs, I think we should try finding the truth behind this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_M...0given%20to%20a

You don't even have to type anything or visit a search site, just highlight, right click, "Search Google for"  Having to do the same thing for Kids These Days is just as frustrating. You have to unzip the file first... no, I don't know how to do that on your phone; how are you even running [program] on your phone?!In a similar vein, Asking Jeeves about cryptids and spooky stuff and finding obscure sites about them was magickal! Googling things like The Bloop 20 years later is kind of sad when it's almost always like yeah iceburg sounds, whale fat, misidentified remains, or just straight up hoaxes. I KNOW bigfeet/dogmen are obviously bears, but I still NEED that kind of mundane mystery. orz
