Murderpedia? Eating ashes?? M’sians share their strange internet rabbit hole encounters

Share this article:

The Internet is an amazing place with unlimited access to A LOT of stuff. You name it – recipes, cat videos, discussion forums, binge-watching shows, games, and many other things. Although a 2018 MCMC survey found that the average Malaysian normally spends 1-4 hours of their day online, you’d probably know a whole lot of people who are above average in that regard ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

We’re willing to bet that a lot of your time staring into a screen happens when you go down a rabbit hole, even if you’ve never heard of the term before. It may just start off with something as simple as innocently Googling more info about a show you just watched. Next thing you know, you’re on a website that’s not even related to the show, with no idea how you got there. Congrats, you’ve spent an entire day going down the rabbit hole.

Didja know the term ‘rabbit hole’ came from Alice in Wonderland? Gif from Tenor

So, the curious cats at CILISOS and SOSCILI, along with our friends at Hotlink, decided to kepoh and find some of the weird things Malaysians have discovered online. And, boy, their stories didn’t disappoint – See for yourself!

So…uh…Why are CILISOS and Hotlink so kepoh??

Well, truth is, we’re pretty sure most of you have fallen down the rabbit hole before la.

And you’d keep asking yourself this question. Gif from Tenor
