This is just a brief list of things you should NEVER Google. They are mostly things that are a bit disgusting, some of which we filtered out because they’re just too graphic. Either way, you should be warned that if you do choose to search for the things on the below list, they may not have pleasant results. I did my best to describe them. I also included less graphic images so not to gross you out!
Fournier
Orlando Magic NBA player Evan Fournier’s nickname is “Never Google” and there’s a reason. His last name, which is an old French word for “Boulanger” (or “Breadmaker”), is also the name of a type of gangrene that affects the genitalia. You’ve been warned.
Krokodil
The street name for Desomorphine, a morphine derivative with powerful opioid effects, which has been used as a substitute for Heroin in Russia and Ukraine. The side effects of the often-illegally produced drugs include toxic substances which can “cook” the skin, or cause large scale tissue infection or damage in the injected area. It’s become known as a flesh-eating drug.
Your Favorite Food
You’ll only get hungry. See, they’re not all about flesh-eating this and that.
Mouth Larva
I was looking for ‘moth larva’ and instead ran into this beastie. We can confirm, it’s exactly what you’d expect and you shouldn’t go there.
Haven’t you heard that 100% true thing about the infinite loop and the world ending? Also, chances are your URL field is also a search bar – save yourself some time and search for what you’re looking for (if not, change your default search engine to one you want).
Calculus Bridge
It’s not a really hard maths problem. It’s hardened plaque across the teeth – a big old chunk of it. Generally it has to be chipped away by a dentist. It’s not that pretty.
Your E-Mail Address
It can be illuminating to see what you’re linked to online, and sometimes terrifying. Reddit users reported sold accounts, spam, password leaks, the lot – in fact, it’s probably safest to search to double check, even if you don’t like what you find. A recommended tool to find if you’ve been compromised in a data breach is “haveibeen pwned.com”, which may let you know.
Harlequin Ichthyosis
It’s a severe genetic disease in which, at birth, a child’s skin is encased in thick white plates of skin, separated by deep cracks. This has many complications – because there are cracks in the skin the newborns are more susceptible to infection and constant care is required to protect and moisturise the skin. The disease used to be considered fatal. But with improved neonatal care and early introduction of oral retinoids, the number of survivors is increasing.
Your Symptoms
If you think you are seriously ill, you should go see a doctor.
