Things you should never search on Internet!

Reddit, being Reddit, has put together a brief list of things that you really shouldn't Google. They are mostly things that are a bit disgusting, some of which we filtered out because they're just too NSFW. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/4c9ie5/what_shouldnt_you_google/ 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. See the list, below: **1. 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. **2. 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. **3. Your favourite food** You'll only get hungry. See, they're not all about flesh-eating this and that. **4. Mouth larva** One Redditor 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. **5. Google** Haven't you heard that 100 per cent 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). **6. 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. **7. 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 haveibeenpwned.com, which may let you know https://haveibeenpwned.com/ **8. 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. **9. Your symptoms** If you think you are seriously ill, you should go see a doctor.
