    One of the internet’s biggest secrets hiding in plain sight. The VHS Vault: now celebrating their 7th year of curating color bloom, drop-outs and questionably legal content, all in glorious 720×480 NTSC video! 🤣

    All kidding aside though, thanks, @minnix! 👍 There are some definite gems amongst the…uhmm…non-gems?


    Stay sick, scratch glass, turn blue, climb walls…but don’t get caught!

      A long time ago (like pre 2000) most regions in the US had public broadcast stations where anyone could submit and air their videos, uncensored. I think typically for free or maybe there was some nominal charge. Usually it started at 10:00 p.m. or midnight when they’d start playing weird stuff like this. Sometimes it was porn, sometimes nasty gory stuff, but I think a lot of times just people who wanted to go on and complain about something.

      Weird times

      Oh man, your non-gem is what I love. This one got me. It’s just the kind of guy I imagined who would be teaching something like this, a dude with “hidden knowledge” that takes every opportunity to share that knowledge with young women who are doing everything in their power to stay away from him 😂
