TravelTranscript
00:00Stalag. In 2000, a group of anonymous Dutch and Belgian musicians came together to create
00:05a project called Stalag. The name was built from two parts. Stalag is the German term
00:11for prisoner of war camps during World War II, and the extra letters G and H stood for
00:16Global Holocaust. Put together, the group claimed the name represented the total annihilation
00:20of human life, the main idea carried directly into their music. They described Stalag as
00:25the Nihilistic, Misanthropic Audio Terror Project, built around nihilism, hatred of humanity,
00:31and extreme sound. It was basically their attempt at making the most painful and unlistenable
00:36noise possible, and what made the project especially disturbing was how they claimed to
00:41create that noise. Instead of using conventional vocalists, the group said they recorded psychiatric
00:46patients. In one interview, they explained their reasoning, stating,
00:49We have used mental patients on all our recordings. We want the pain and suffering in the vocals to be
00:55real and not acted. But recording psychiatric patients was only part of what made the process
01:00so disturbing. According to the group, they would also mislead psychiatric institutions about why
01:05they wanted to record their patients in the first place. They claimed they would present their work
01:09as a conceptual art project, even writing false proposals to get permission. The process could take
01:14more than a year, and the group admitted they could get into serious trouble if the institutions ever
01:18discovered what they were actually doing. And it was through this process that the group gathered
01:22the recordings that would eventually make up their three-part trilogy, Project Denial, Project
01:26Terror, and Project Misanthropia. The first of them, Project Denial, was released in 2003.
01:32Unlike a conventional album, it consisted of just two tracks, both around 17 minutes long.
01:37One of them featured the screams of a psychiatric patient who had been convicted of murder.
01:50According to the group's own account, he had killed his mother when he was 16. He later told the group
01:54that his hatred toward his mother came from years of mistreatment by his uncle, which he claimed she
01:59knew about but did nothing to stop. The other track featured another patient whose connection to
02:03Project Denial would become even more unsettling. He suffered from severe anorexia nervosa and borderline
02:09syndrome, and had spent years in and out of psychiatric hospitals. Yet, according to the
02:13group, he actually found the recording sessions therapeutic. Unfortunately, whatever comfort he
02:18found would be short-lived, as he died just a few months later. The group later used one of his
02:22drawings inside the album's Digipack edition, although they never made clear exactly which one
02:27was his. Strangely, this wasn't the only time they used artwork created by one of their psychiatric
02:31patients. Years later, a different patient with schizophrenia drew the unsettling cover for their
02:36standalone release, Pure Misanthropia. By this point, they had spent years recording people with
02:41severe psychiatric conditions, including some they themselves described as potentially violent.
02:46And it was only a matter of time before one of those sessions went horribly wrong.
02:50Their second project, Project Terror, was released in 2004 as one continuous 34-minute recording.
02:56According to the group, it was deliberately made to be more extreme than Project Denial,
03:00with the intention of terrorizing the listener. But one of those sessions became life-threatening.
03:04The group later described the incident, stating,
03:07On the recording of Project Terror, one of our members was almost strangled to death by one of
03:11the patients. You can hear the sound of the strangling if you listen closely.
03:24Once the three projects were completed, the group took the project in a new direction,
03:27under the name Gulag. The name came from the Soviet Gulag system, the network of forced labor camps and
03:33prisons that operated across the Soviet Union. And under the new name, the recordings became even
03:37more extreme. Their first project, Vorkuta, was named after one of the Soviet Union's most
03:42notorious Gulag complexes. But at this time, the group wasn't only recording individual psychiatric
03:48patients. Vorkuta also featured women who had suffered severe physical abuse, along with around
03:5330 children from a youth psychiatric hospital. According to the group, the children had been told
03:58to scream as loudly as they could, until some became emotional and started crying. The session
04:02reportedly became so distressing that staff eventually stepped in. But Vorkuta was only
04:07supposed to be the beginning. Gulag was planned as another trilogy, with its three projects,
04:11Vorkuta, Kalima, and Narilska, each named after a different Soviet Gulag complex. For Kalima,
04:18the group planned something even more bizarre. They wanted to build the recording around a full
04:22orchestra and a group of people who had been born deaf. And the reason for choosing them was
04:27particularly unsettling. For the second Gulag project, Kalima, we will use classic instruments
04:32again, but we will have a really different sound and approach compared to Vorkuta. Kalima will be a
04:37lot more bombastic in sound. We want to use a full orchestra this time. As vocalists, we want to use
04:42people that were born deaf. Their screams are almost animal-like because they have never heard their
04:46own voice. The other interesting thing is they won't hear the screams of the others, so it will be much
04:51more chaotic. Once the trilogy was complete, the group had planned to disappear for good,
04:55as there would be no reason to continue. But they never got that far. Kalima and Narilska were never
05:01released, leaving the Gulag trilogy unfinished. And eventually, the group disappeared from the
05:05internet as well. Today, Stalag and Gulag remain one of the internet's stranger mysteries, with the
05:11people behind it still anonymous. All that remains are the agonizing screams of deceased psychiatric
05:16patients whose identities were never known, and in some cases, the disturbing drawings
05:21they left behind.
05:26Cutoffmyfeet.com
05:27In 2001, a 33-year-old man from Mississippi named Paul Morgan bought the website domain
05:33cutoffmyfeet.com. The purpose of the website was exactly what its name suggested. Paul planned
05:39to remove his feed with a homemade guillotine and livestream the entire procedure, charging viewers
05:43$20 to watch. While this sounded disturbing, Paul claimed he had a genuine reason for doing it.
05:48Almost 15 years earlier, in 1986, he had fallen from the back of a moving pickup truck and ended
05:54up underneath the boat trailer it was towing. The accident left him partially paralyzed. After years
05:59of rehabilitation, he eventually learned to walk again, but only with the help of plastic
06:03leg braces that supported his damaged legs.
06:05By 2001, prosthetic technology had advanced considerably, and Paul believed the new generation
06:10of hydraulic prosthetic limbs could give him far more mobility than the braces ever could.
06:14The problem was the cost. The treatment he wanted would reportedly cost around $150 to $200,000.
06:21According to Paul, Medicare and Medicaid would not cover it because he could still technically
06:25walk with his braces, so the procedure was not considered medically necessary. Instead of spending years
06:30fighting the insurance system, Paul came up with a much more bizarre solution. He would raise the
06:34money himself by charging people $20 to watch his livestream. According to his website though,
06:39this was about more than just getting new prosthetics. Paul also saw the stun as a protest against the
06:44American healthcare and insurance system. Paul is using this event as a chance to speak out against
06:49the lack of care in the medical field and the insurance industry. He strongly believes that this
06:53could make great strides in the much needed insurance and medical reform in the United States.
06:57Naturally, not everyone was convinced he was making a rational decision. To most people,
07:02hearing that a man planned to remove his feet raised an obvious question. Was he actually insane?
07:07But Paul had already addressed this question directly on his website.
07:10I am not insane. This is something I thought through very carefully. But for all of you who
07:15still doubt, I plan to have a full psychiatric evaluation done to prove that I'm completely sane.
07:19And the more Paul revealed about his plan, the clearer it became that this wasn't something he
07:23had casually dreamed up. He had already begun working with a friend to turn the removal
07:27into a full-scale production. The idea wasn't simply to set up a camera and press record.
07:32Paul planned to have medical professionals on site to control the bleeding and an entire
07:36production crew to broadcast the event. But the most disturbing part was the device they were
07:40building to actually do it. Over the following weeks, Paul and his crew worked on a homemade
07:44guillotine built around a large Stanley knife blade with two slots to hold his ankles in place
07:49and a remote release that would allow Paul to drop the blade himself. By this point,
07:53cutoffmyfeet.com was no longer some obscure web page that only a handful of people had stumbled
07:58across. More than 10,000 people were reportedly visiting the site every day, and the story was
08:03beginning to attract attention from major media outlets. Eventually, that attention reached
08:07government officials. The Mississippi Attorney General's office contacted Paul's lawyers and
08:12offered to arrange for a surgeon to perform the amputation for free, but only if Paul abandoned the
08:17spectacle surrounding it. But the offer didn't cover the cost of his prosthetics or rehabilitation.
08:21So, Paul turned it down and stuck to his original plan. The removal was scheduled to be held in
08:26September 2001, but it was postponed to Halloween, then November 30th, and eventually January 5th,
08:332002. By it, shortly before that final date, Paul posted what would become the last update on his
08:38website. I know many of you have been looking forward to the guillotine amputation of my feet
08:42on January 5th. However, these are now the existing conditions. I have secured a production crew,
08:47EMT services, lighting, camera crews, director, live band, the video and DVD production, lighting,
08:54location, production manager, and oh yes, the guillotine. Corporate lawyers have caused me to
08:59lose several members of the crew, the satellite truck, and the initially interested investors who
09:04are covering the production cost of the amputation event. This being the case, the amputation of my feet
09:09by guillotine is postponed until the production money for the event has been secured. Many of
09:13you may wonder why I'm not using the signup money to pay for the costs. The money paid for memberships
09:18is in escrow until after I perform the amputation. So, I am hoping to find an interested investor to
09:23help me get this amputation underway. If you are interested in financing the production costs of
09:27the event, I would love to talk to you. Paul never announced another date. Eventually,
09:31the website expired and Paul Morgan seemingly disappeared from the internet altogether,
09:35which left behind one obvious question. What happened to Paul's mission? The simplest explanation
09:41is that he ran out of money. Despite all the attention the website was getting, very few people
09:45were actually willing to pay to watch the event. According to reports at the time, only around 20
09:49people had signed up for the live stream, which was nowhere near enough to cover the estimated $150,000
09:54Paul needed for the operation, prosthetics, and rehabilitation. And without the investors who had
09:59originally agreed to finance the production, the entire project had effectively stalled. But the timing of
10:04Paul's disappearance also raised another possibility. By this point, the Mississippi Attorney General's
10:09Office was already involved, warning that going through with the act could potentially violate the
10:13state's mayhem laws as well as fraud regulations. And Paul himself appeared to understand just how
10:18serious those consequences could be. In Mississippi, I could be charged under the mayhem laws, which carry
10:23a maximum of seven years. But as I haven't done anything yet, there would have to be police waiting
10:28outside the door on the day itself. So, it's entirely possible that between the money drying up and the
10:33possibility of criminal charges, Paul simply backed out. But zooming out, there was reason to question
10:38the entire story. By then, cutoffmyfeet.com had turned Paul's planned amputation into a genuine
10:43internet spectacle. Thousands of people were visiting the site, with news outlets covering his story and
10:48potential investors getting involved. But despite all that attention, the amputation kept getting
10:53postponed. So, naturally, some people began to question whether Paul ever intended to go through with
10:58it at all, or whether the bizarre promise was just an elaborate way to farm attention. But after that
11:03final update, Paul seemingly disappeared. And whether he ran out of money, was scared off by
11:07legal consequences, or never intended to go through with it in the first place was never made clear.
11:13Cutoffmyfeet.com eventually disappeared with him, leaving behind one of the stranger
11:17unfinished spectacles of the early internet.
11:22Ghost Driver Scam
11:24In August 2016, Uber agreed to merge its Chinese operations with Didi Chuxing, the country's biggest
11:30ride-hailing platform. The deal effectively ended Uber's attempt to compete with Didi in China.
11:35But just one month later, something strange began happening to Uber passengers. After requesting a
11:41ride, some customers would see a driver accept their trip with an eerie, distorted face as their profile
11:46picture. On its own, this could have been dismissed as nothing more than a bizarre choice of picture.
11:51Except, this same unsettling encounter was being reported by passengers across the country.
11:57Within just two weeks, passengers in at least six Chinese cities had reported encountering some
12:01variation of them. As the reports piled up, the reason behind these disturbing pictures became clear.
12:07The drivers were deliberately using horrifying, ghost-like images to scare passengers into cancelling
12:12their rides. The passengers would see they were assigned a driver, only to look at their
12:16profile picture and get scared into cancelling. And once they did, the driver would receive a
12:21cancellation fee. But even if the passenger refused to cancel, the scam could still work.
12:26Drivers could simply mark them as picked up, start the trip without them, and end it shortly
12:30afterwards, leaving the passengers charged for a ride that never happened. Uber eventually banned
12:35thousands of fraudulent accounts. But with so many of them appearing in such a short period of time,
12:40there was now a much bigger question. Who was actually behind them? One possibility was that
12:45some individual drivers had simply found a way to exploit Uber's system. At the time,
12:49Uber was spending heavily to win market share in China. The company offered large incentives to
12:54both passengers and drivers. Apart from the cancellation fees, Uber China also ran a referral
12:59program where an experienced driver could refer a new driver using their referral code and receive a
13:03bonus once the new account completed the required 20 rides. That created another opportunity for fraud.
13:09A driver could use a ghost account to generate those rides themselves. According to one investigation,
13:15Uber could complete 20 short orders in roughly 40 minutes, allowing the referring driver to qualify
13:19for the cash bonus. And Uber's password-free payment system made this even easier. Once an order
13:24was accepted, fraudulent drivers could reportedly start and end the trip themselves without the
13:28passenger doing anything. So, individual drivers clearly had a reason to exploit the system.
13:33But there was a more serious possibility. What if these weren't just isolated drivers taking
13:38advantage of the same loophole, but part of something more organized? Some of the fraudulent accounts
13:43were allegedly created using stolen identity information, while others reportedly used location
13:47spoofing software to make drivers appear somewhere they weren't. And if that was true,
13:51it put the bizarre profile pictures in a completely different light. They may have been used not only
13:56to scare passengers into canceling, but also to help fraudulent accounts slip past Uber's security checks.
14:01Uber had already introduced facial recognition for drivers in China, but analysts believed the
14:06heavily distorted images could confuse the system, allowing those accounts to get through
14:10verification. At the time, Uber was in the middle of merging its Chinese operations with Didi,
14:14and several senior employees were already leaving the company. So, with the team in transition,
14:19Uber had less capacity to identify and shut down fraudulent accounts quickly.
14:23But whether the ghost drivers were actually part of an organized operation was never confirmed.
14:27Uber eventually began banning the fraudulent accounts and refunding passengers who had been charged.
14:32Slowly, reports of the ghost drivers disappeared. But the strangest part of the story was never
14:37resolved. No single group was ever identified as being behind the scam, and it was never made
14:41clear whether the ghost drivers were connected or simply separate scammers who had discovered the
14:46same vulnerabilities at the same time.
14:52Fashion Avenue
14:54In 2000, a bizarre personal website appeared on GeoCities, an early web hosting service where
14:59users built their own pages inside themed online neighborhoods. The website was hosted under GeoCities'
15:05Fashion Avenue neighborhood and stretched across dozens of pages filled with walls of unstructured text.
15:11It was created by a woman named Carol, a 21-year-old college student who wanted to become a teacher
15:15for disabled children. But the website itself was dedicated to something far stranger.
15:21Carol wanted to become a DBE amputee. DBE stands for Double Below Elbow Amputee, meaning someone who has lost
15:28both arms below the elbows. Except, Carol's arms were perfectly healthy and functional. She wanted them
15:34amputated and replaced with prosthesis, openly describing herself as a DBE amputee wannabe.
15:41According to the website, her fascination with amputation began when she was just three years
15:45old after meeting a man who had lost several fingers in an accident. But it was another encounter
15:49four years later that turned that fascination into a fantasy. At seven years old, she met a girl who had
15:55lost both arms and wore Doran's 5X stainless steel hooks. And Carol appears to have never let go of that
16:01obsession. Throughout the website, she returns to that exact model again and again. She names the
16:07Doran's 5X hooks dozens of times, repeatedly describing them as the prosthesis she wanted for
16:12herself. There are even entire pages dedicated to now-lost images of DBE women wearing similar
16:18prosthetic hooks. Carol also seemed to understand that life without her hands wouldn't be easy.
16:23But instead of giving up on her disturbing fantasy, she started changing her daily routine
16:27to prepare for it. On one of the pages on her website, she wrote,
16:30All of my clothing is now free of all buttons and all other difficult-to-use fastening devices,
16:35and all of my boots and shoes are the kinds that do not have any laces, so that all of
16:39those items
16:40can be easily put on and removed using only my twin prosthetic hooks. I have also completely given
16:45up wearing contact lenses in favor of wearing glasses with a stainless steel frame that will match my
16:49twin prosthetic hooks. But despite her preparation, actually becoming an amputee was a much bigger
16:55problem. Having two healthy arms voluntarily amputated raised serious medical and ethical
17:00concerns, and at the time medical literature warned that performing such a procedure without an
17:05established medical justification could potentially be considered a criminal act.
17:09So, Carol came up with another way. She planned to have both of her hands lost in what she described
17:14as a tragic accident. Carol planned for this to happen in May 2001, just before her 22nd birthday and
17:20college graduation. But just weeks before the event, Carol disappeared from the website without
17:25a trace. She stopped posting updates, and nobody was ever able to confirm what happened to her or
17:30whether she actually went through with her plan. More importantly, nobody ever figured out who Carol
17:35really was. And over the years, that has led people discussing the website to question whether she was
17:40even real. Some believed the entire thing was fiction, either an elaborate hoax or some kind of
17:44creative writing exercise. Others went a step further and suggested that Carol may have actually been a
17:49man with a fetish for female amputees, writing out a fantasy through a fictional character.
17:54And although there's no real way to rule either theory out, there is evidence that,
17:58if someone was making the entire thing up, they went surprisingly far to keep the story going.
18:03People who looked through archived message boards from 2001 found that visitors apparently communicated
18:07back and forth with Carol while the website was still active. According to one person who
18:11investigated those discussions, she remained insistent that her plans were real. Of course,
18:16that still doesn't prove Carol was real. Someone committed to the hoax could have simply continued
18:20playing the character before abandoning the website to make the story more convincing.
18:24But there was another possibility. In 2004, psychiatrist Michael Furst published research
18:30on 52 people who had a long-standing desire to have healthy limbs amputated. The condition would
18:35become known as Body Integrity Identity Disorder, or BIID. And some of the characteristics
18:40researchers documented were strikingly similar to what Carol had been describing on her website for years.
18:46BIID, now known as Body Integrity Dysmorphia, is a rare condition involving a persistent desire to
18:51have a healthy limb amputated. People with the condition can be extremely specific about which
18:56part of their body they want removed. Research has also found that these desires often begin in early
19:00childhood, and that closely matches Carol's story. She claimed her fascination with amputation began
19:06when she was just three and developed into a desire to become a DBE amputee by the age of seven.
19:10She was also extremely specific about what she wanted. Both hands amputated about eight inches
19:15below her elbows. But whether she went through with her plans still remains a mystery. The years
19:20following her disappearance, many people tried tracking her down by gathering clues through
19:24the details she mentioned about herself on her website. Some even claimed they had identified
19:28her and that she was alive with both arms intact. But those claims were never backed by
19:32enough public evidence to verify them. So, as it stands, Carol and her bizarre website remain a
19:38complete anomaly, with no way of knowing whether she was suffering from a genuine condition,
19:42or whether the entire thing was an elaborate hoax created for attention.
19:50Heartbeat in the Brain
19:52In 1970, a 27-year-old woman named Amanda Fielding made a disturbing documentary about
19:57trepanation, a surgical procedure where a hole is drilled or scraped into the human skull.
20:02The documentary was called Heartbeat in the Brain and was shot inside her home. It was part of
20:06Amanda's project to raise awareness about trepanation, which she believed could alter and even enhance
20:11consciousness by changing the balance between blood and cerebrospinal fluid in the brain.
20:15The procedure itself wasn't new. In fact, it's one of the oldest surgeries in human history.
20:21But what made Amanda's story particularly disturbing was that she wasn't a doctor or a
20:25formally trained scientist. At the time, she was primarily an artist and sculptor conducting what
20:30she herself described as amateur research. That made the risks much higher. Drilling into the
20:35skull is a high-risk medical procedure, and when it's attempted without proper medical training,
20:40even a small mistake can damage the tissue beneath it. There's also a serious risk of infection when
20:45the procedure is performed outside a sterile medical environment. So why take the risk? Amanda
20:50hadn't arrived at the decision overnight. She had spent years researching trepanation and for four
20:55years tried to convince a surgeon to perform the procedure on her. But every surgeon she approached
20:59refused because she had no medical condition that would justify the procedure. So after years of
21:04being turned down, Amanda decided to take matters into her own hands. By her own account, she believed
21:09it was the only way to find out whether the procedure actually made a difference. And that's when she
21:13produced Heartbeat in the Brain. In the film, Amanda appears remarkably calm. She shaves the front of
21:19her head, sits down in front of the camera, and begins the procedure. The video itself is deeply
21:24unsettling. When the documentary was shown at a gallery in New York, several people in the audience
21:29fainted during the showing. For Amanda though, the experience was very different. She believed
21:34that trepanation had worked, and later described the feeling as,
21:37It was rather like the tide coming in. I felt a certain peace. It felt like a return, like I
21:42was
21:42rising in myself to a more natural level. But while we now have access to modern drilling methods,
21:47the same procedure had been carried out in far more ruthless ways throughout history. Studies showed
21:52that trepanation was practiced even in prehistoric and ancient cultures. Back then,
21:56people used sharpened stones or simple blades, which was a much slower process. Some methods
22:01were especially brutal, involving a single opening, while others involved several small
22:06holes in a circle and then removing the bone between them. In many cases, all of this was
22:10being done without anything close to modern anesthesia or sterile surgical conditions.
22:14What makes it stranger is how widespread the practice became. In Peru alone, archaeologists have
22:19found around 800 trepaned skulls, and some of the reasons behind it were just as unsettling.
22:24In ancient China, some believed openings in the skull allowed for communication with the spirits of
22:29the dead. While those older forms of trepanation eventually faded away, the basic procedure never
22:34did. A much more controlled version of opening the skull is still used in modern neurosurgery to reach
22:39the brain and treat conditions like tumors or lesions. But there is no established scientific evidence
22:44that drilling a hole into the skull can expand consciousness in the way Amanda believed. And
22:48strangely enough, the film she made to promote that idea eventually became difficult to see at all.
22:52Amanda herself was careful about who she showed it to. She later said that performing your own
22:57trepanation was dangerous, which is why she had only ever shown the film to small invited audiences.
23:02So after those limited screenings, Heartbeat and the Brain largely disappeared from public view.
23:07Then in 1998, parts of it resurfaced in another documentary called A Hole in the Head.
23:12But the complete film itself remained elusive for decades, until it resurfaced publicly one final time in
23:18London in 2011, after years of being considered lost. More than 50 years later, the full documentary
23:24still isn't publicly available, with only parts of it circulating online. Amanda Fielding died in 2025,
23:30leaving behind a particularly strange internet anomaly.
23:37Exit Monday
23:38By the early 2000s, the internet had developed a strange fascination with how the world might end.
23:43Online forums were filled with discussions about everything from Y2K computer failures caused by
23:48the year changing from 1999 to 2000, to rogue technology, cosmic disasters, and other extinction
23:54scenarios. While most of these ideas were scattered across different corners of the internet,
23:59one website began collecting them all in one place. Exit Monday was launched in 2001 by Dutch
24:04science journalist Martin Kulemans as a massive collection of different ways humanity,
24:08or the world itself could theoretically come to an end. It goes surprisingly deep into each
24:13possibility, and some are based on very real scientific threats. Like a massive asteroid striking
24:19the earth and triggering earthquakes, tsunamis, and a global climate collapse. Or a nuclear war
24:24covering the earth in radioactive fallout, blocking out the sun and triggering a global nuclear winter.
24:29It also discusses things like the possibility of a deadly disease evolving into a highly contagious
24:34pandemic, spreading through an increasingly connected world faster than scientists can contain it.
24:38But, buried among the more familiar doomsday scenarios, the website also contains much
24:43stranger theories. For example, there's one article that explores the possibility of human extinction
24:48caused by something as ordinary as cats. It explains how cats are natural hunters that kill birds,
24:53rodents, reptiles, and other small animals. Now, a single cat killing a few birds is nothing unusual,
24:59but multiply that across millions of free-roaming cats and the scale of the problem starts to show.
25:03In Australia, the problem is particularly severe. Feral and stray cats are found across almost the
25:09entire continent, where they kill well over a billion native animals every year. Their impact
25:13is serious enough that authorities actively control their numbers through methods including trapping,
25:18baiting, and shooting. So, the theory says that if cats wipe out enough species, the wider ecosystem
25:23becomes less stable, including the parts humans ultimately depend on for food and survival.
25:27That is essentially the concern Exit Mundi raises when it describes cats as eating a huge hole in
25:32the food chain. From there, the site leaves open the disturbing possibility of human extinction.
25:37Another similarly obscure theory on Exit Mundi talks about a giant meteor wiping out the moon.
25:42Now, the destruction of the moon might not sound like an immediate threat to human life,
25:46but in reality, the consequences on Earth could be much more serious than you'd expect.
25:50Imagined is an impact large enough to destroy the moon completely. The theory suggests consequences
25:55could range from debris flying toward Earth at dangerous speeds, the Earth's tides being affected,
26:00the Earth's tilt becoming unstable, or the seasons becoming much more extreme. Taken far enough,
26:05the theory argues that these changes could eventually leave Earth unable to support human life.
26:09Other theories on the site are even more speculative. Taken together, they make Exit Mundi
26:13one of the stranger archives left behind by the early internet. The world hasn't ended yet,
26:18but Exit Mundi has a page for almost every way it could.
