3. I really enjoy playing Sid Meier’s Civilization 5. In it you can pick many a civ and dominate the world culturally, faithfully, or just by nuking everybody. The Aztec empire is one of these lovely civs. The Aztecs were really messed up and religious and were known to practice one aspect of their religion that would be very much frowned upon today. What was that practice?

Human Sacrifice (Human - The Killers)

Ellen Pao (Band on the Run - Paul McCartney)

4. 4Chan is a very dark and scary corner of the internet created by a kid back in October of 2004. It was an imageboard created for likeminded people to post things they enjoyed.
