Weird research

What is the strangest/most "inappropriate"/most ed up thing you have found yourself researching for the sake of your fictional story?

Or alternately, what is the worst/weirdest/sickest thing you've tried for yourself to gain more understanding of the subject you're writing about or maybe a scene you're writing?

@NutellaBreath It's funny to think about it now! XD I can just imagine how my family members would've reacted if they saw me with my hands wrapped around my throat, literally hunched over and choking lmao They would've flipped.

I'm studying physics for my next story. Makrocosmos, mostly black matter and black holes, nothing bad because I know that stuff already thanks to my loyal friends.

Alter-egos, bipoluar personality disorders, honour killings, child brides, child abuse and its effects, malnutrition, the effect torture has on the mind, how to torture a person, psychopatic and sociopatic tendencies. Burn victims, what happens when someone's body is set on fire. I guess it's pretty tame in comparison to others ^-^.

I've researched ways to get rid of dead bodies, how to get rid of evidence, black market prices, concealable weapons, different types of wounds (the images freaked me out but I pushed through), blood pattern analysis (like what kind of blood spray would be the result of specific weapons), and poisonous plants.
.....Yeah. My internet provider might think that I'm a criminal or murderer.

Off the top of my head, probably prices for black market organs and ways they're harvested. Everything else is usual stuff I feel like every writer researches at one point. Like suicide and murder methods, sociopath/psychotic traits, human decomposition, cannibalism, about demons and stuff, etc.

for me, i've looked up ual positions and pleasure. lol others been supernatural things with ghost, tribal stuff.... but yeah don't want to go further in that stuff. same with killing and murder. it's sad and a bit weird if someone looks over your shoulder as you're doing the research, but it really helps when trying to incorporate actual facts/cases into your own fic. ^^

I've researched ways to kill, how much force it takes to break a bone, poisons, drugs, (fatal) illnesses (in children less than a year old). Those, I guess, are amongst the worst things I've looked up that I can remember at the top of my head XD (Aka do not anger me, hahahahaaha.)

I looked up "human trafficking prizes" once and was surprised it gave a result. So that's probably the most ed up thing. "EXO Kai's fat dog" is probably the funniest, most ridiculous thing I've ever researched.

Usually methods of killing someone. Anything from the type of poisons to blunt force trauma. Sometimes the history of depraved behaviour shown by serial killers. Also psychological effects of and the in history.Oh, almost forgot about the medieval tortures--this takes the cake.

The weirdest thing I ever typed into google for research was probably "EXO Kai's fat dog" which was a rather disappointing search that led me to go through countless of videos where he spoke of the dogs. I spend at least 15 minutes searching for that. (Which is not a long time but considering this was such a pointless thing to research in the first place it was pretty redundant.)

The most ed up thing is probably "human trafficking prizes" which actually gave hits that were useful.
