HOLY SHIT THESE ARE GREAT WEBSITES: Brainsturbator Favorites


Kid Internet Takes His RevengeWe were brainstorming ideas for this title, but I decided that instead of making something catchy up, I should just f***ing swear. After all, what separates Brainsturbator from all those other weird science sites is 1) my cheerful willingness to be offensive and immature, 2) my total contempt for copyright laws and common sense, and 3) my voracious consumption of psychedelic drugs.  There’s no sense in pretending we’re some sort of respectable operation when I give out awards.  Hell, odds are a few of these sites would rather not be associated with me.

Quick answer: hell yeah, it’s self abuse.  I lose sleep, weight and hope for the future when I stare the abyss in the face like this.  I can’t say my nightmares have gotten any worse, because they’ve been making me question my sanity since I was a kid, but the everyday world is a very different place.

But you know what?  The everyday world always was a different place.  Whether we subject ourselves to this horror or not, it’s still out there and it’s still real.  And of course, the quick answer is superficial and misses the real meat—this is an important question to look at in some detail, so before I keep subjecting Brainsturbator readers to these nightmares, let’s examine why it is nescessary, important, and ultimately—empowering.
