      Yeah, I understand why they left behind that old real or not format, but I would like to see them explore scary stories that are not very known. A spooky story isn't scary bc it might be real, but creepypastas like this or the smile dog one just aren't that fun imo

      I remember my brother showing me this creepy pasta when I was like 14?? Or so? It wasn't on the creepypasta website, and he presented it to me like he was showing me an interesting news article. I believed the first few paragraphs completely, began to question it when shit got involved and soon after realised it was completely made up. There was a lot of "nooo this isn't true that's not a thing!!!" and him trying to convince me it was real lol. The prank was honestly too funny to be mad at tho 10/10 great shenanigans

      When I was younger, I never read the actual story because I hated the image of the dude, yeah? You know, the one? And I would keep getting nightmares about it because like, damn that picture was scary to an eleven year old me. Now that I've read and heard it read aloud it isn't.. that scary. Honestly it's kind of just like “yeah this is happening I guess. Cool.”

      Right!? Excellent premise, but the ending is just too extra. Would have been way more effective if they'd done more psychological/behavioral stuff and toned down the completely medically unrealistic body horror. Ah well, this one's one of the older classic creepypastas.

      I agree. To me, and many I think, the scariest stories are the ones that are outlandish enough to make us uncomfortable or scared within the realms of reality without pushing it too far into the safety zone of "this could never happen."

      @@DanielleVlog365 These kinds of stories, in my opinion, honestly mostly only ever work when FULLY illustrated.
      Example: Junji Ito manga. The concepts and plot points are so outlandish and out of this world but the art and the execution are just so well done you can't help but genuinely be terrified.

      I like to think of it like a "point of no return," but for creepypastas it's a "point of definitely should return." Like, dial it back, kiddo, you had a good thing going. It's like the writers assume every story needs to escalate, but they've already got a solid concept, so rather than finding a good stopping point, they shove in some Edgy™ nonsense.

    This isn't scary, primarily because we know quite well what happens when you are deprived of sleep for days on end, as the person who set the record was monitored at all times by the record keeping authorities. Basically, you just become extremely irritable and paranoid, and get angry at anyone for doing anything.

      The world record was set and documented, but there have been studies keeping mice up for longer killing them for inexplicable reasons. The persons brain was functioning as if asleep, hallucinated with all of his senses and experienced paranoia that lead to his irritability. The experiment was meant to keep them up far longer than the world record and thought to be humanly possible, probably trying to create sleepless soilders as the US tried to make soilders who could communicate with computers. It's intresting

Not cause I was smart, I was and still am a dumbass, but I figured it was for one reason: if there was a gaseous stimulant that can keep you awake for days, wouldn’t more people be using it? In colleges, in workplaces, in more experiments, even in torture? It just feels too obvious.

      Yeah, the timeline for them eating their own flesh just ruins this for me. Now, if they'd taken one of them out for some other reason and he started eating his own flesh in front of the horrified staff, then fought them with superhuman strength and couldn't be sedated while they were trying to stitch him up, I could have stayed with that. Then the infection can be what helps him along to his grave while he's asking to be put back in the chamber.

      Hate? Worst? Nah it's one of the best! The highest role that fiction can achieve is inspiring introspection, examination of the self and the universe. Stories like this one are human in that they can show us truths about ourselves. Fears, desires, moral evolutions... Some fiction is just for fun but some aims at the heart of what humanity is, what/why humans are, and in my opinion the latter is the better work and the enduring art. Sorry if it's too gory for you and I truly hope it doesn't make you too uncomfortable, but I hope that you can also find positives in stories like this, especially because the boys make some pretty funny jokes to lighten the mood. I'm not saying it's like the Mona Lisa, but compared to silly stories like "working out" or "holidays" or "voice in the walls" which are good fun but really of no substance, "sleep experiment" is better because it inspires thought on the self. Best wishes :)

      During surgery, the intestines can be removed from the body. Surgeons have to put them on special hooks to keep them out of the way because they squirm around like eels (it's because of the contraction of muscles), and when they are finished they stuff them back in the cavity (more delicately than I'm making it sound) and the intestines wiggle back into place themselves. Those flaps of membrane that hold them in place are not necessary to live, but they are there to stop them from just spilling out when injured, so... yeah.

      Most real life horror experiences just end up being a person with mental health issues tho and when you’re allowed to see beyond the constrained view point of the narrator (like when you learn that it was a real experience with real people) it just becomes sad honestly. Like with the roommate one, I was just angry that the friend didn’t help him at all. Horror relies on constant fear and anxiety, which stories that are /just/ realistic enough are perfect at.

    The best scary stories are the ones that are not too outlandish to assure ourselves that it's fake. The chance of something spooky being a possibility in our realm of reality is the scary part. Once you push it to far, like this Creepy Pasta ends up doing, you know it's fake and are therefore lulled back into security.
    Still, it's a classic CP.

      This was my first creepypasta and to say it scared me is an understatement
      Now I can see the silliness of it
