Holy shit. If that's not photoshopped or doctored, I'm at a loss for words. I call fake until proven otherwise though. For the good of my own mind.

Allegedly, the maggots kept sepsis at bay by eating the flesh as it died.
It's what they do.
Also it's not nearly the only "homeless person + maggots LOL" picture out there. Far from it.

Thank you for the warning and description, @GasBandit. I am happy to not see this picture.

Generally I'm not much of one for trigger warnings, but this was definitely a case where viewer discretion is absolufuckinglutely advised.
I sincerely hope so.
uhh... I didn't see a chute deploy..
The closer you get to the ground before you pull, the more points you get.

EDIT: I found the video it's from, but it's really too blurry to see what's going on that far away.

Huh. I would have expected it to be Roger Daltrey.
I suspect a certain amount of shopping on this one, if only for the way the tarsal bones are uniform and in position, despite the lack of connective tissue/tendons etc.Alright, this is one of THOSE pictures. It's got maggots and bones and rotting flesh. I am not joking or lying. It is allegedly a picture of a homeless man's foot who had not removed his shoes for 6 years.
This is my serious face.
You. Were Fucking. Warned.
Then again, it wouldn't be the first sort of situation I've come across. I felt myself reaching for my Vicks when I saw it.

That sounds a little like, "Uh...I meant to do that."Hey, lookit what I found! Apparently it's a stuntman making a joke. This made me sooo happy
The metatarsals look about right, if the dried tendons are still holding everything together. I'm curious about
the mummified toes, they suggest to me that they were already dead and dried out by the time the maggots got in, otherwise the toes would've been consumed as well.
The toes could have been blocked off by the remains of a sock bunched up in the shoe.
I was thinking it was more reminiscent of getting a half-slab of ribs...

An interesting map of the reddit NotSafeForWorkasphere.
Linked instead of embedded because friggin huge.

My god... it's full of subreddits I now need to subscribe to!
Protip: put them in a personal subreddit instead, so you can still read reddit at work and not get in any extra trouble.
I have a second Reddit account for the NSFW stuff, which I only access from my phone. Keeps it off my work computers, and if I see something that really needs to be accessed on a desktop computer (a video for example), I'll just manually enter that subreddit on my computer at home.Protip: put them in a personal subreddit instead, so you can still read reddit at work and not get in any extra trouble.
