Reader beware: Some of these images are tough to look at.
If you're a fan of the “pimple-popping” genre of videos or maybe even the old Faces of Death late-night infomercial VHS tape series (and honestly, why wouldn’t you be?), we might have found our newest morbid fascination: Dirty computer keyboards!
Recently on social image sharing page Imgur, user @FilthyKeyboard (clever name) posted what seemed like it would be a fairly innocent gallery called “Cleaning Mech Keyboard for the First Time in 6 Years."
What happened next…will horrify you.
Ugh. I can tell already that is going to be a long journey...
DEAR GOSH, MAN! Just buy a new keyboard!
I feel like I've seen this in a horror movie.
AHH!!!! Kill it! Kill it with fire!
...I have no words.
C'mon, man, stop. Enough is enough. Uncle! I quit!
These pictures are starting to make me feel itchy.
Okay, remember earlier when I said that I vomited all over my desk and keyboard? I was joking then.
Okay thank goodness. Now we are getting somewhere. Let's scrub this thing.
After it's wet and wild outdoor adventure, he brought it back inside where he scrubbed the ever-loving life out of it.
He then took all of the Cheeto-caked keys and tossed them in a dishsoap-filled bucket.
From this angle, don't all of the key-teeth look like a city filled with ancient temples?
Following which, he let the pieces dry for several hours.
Upon reassembly, he realized that it wasn't just the keyboards that were in need of repair, but the board itself.
That looks like it could use a good scraping.
During this new adventure, he found a large chunk of RICE buried into the board.
Time to lather up.
So fresh and so clean, clean!
And then, for reasons that I don't understand, he decided to throw it in the oven...
Sorry, I'm from 'Murica. I can't translate this number.
Oh good here is a cheat-sheet.
He let it dry overnight by a fan before beginning to reassemble the board.
Well, look at that. It works.
If you want to relive this exciting adventure, you can read the story in the man's own words.
But now that you know what you are in for, keeping a garbage bucket handy. And let the universe have mercy on your soul.Trending
