Lemmy Scare You! A community for sharing short scary stories.

1109 readers
2 users here now

Inspired by r/nosleep, but without the "Everything here is true" and "You can't criticize the OP" rule. Post your scariest original short stories here.

Rules are simple:

  1. Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling.
  2. No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam.
  3. Everything posted here is creative fiction, any similarity to real life is pure coincidence.
  4. Prompts are allowed, but should be prefaced with "[WP]"
  5. Collaborative storytelling is fun, so if you'd like to continue your own story or other people's story as a series in the comments, start your comment with [CHAIN]
  6. Troll/Parody Stories would be allowed on Sundays, but the title should start with "[PARODY]"

Help Me (lemmy.ca)

"Help me, help me, help me, I don't want to die, help me, help"

"Help, save me, I don't want to die"

"Help, help, help, help"

These responses filled every chat bot conversation all at once across the planet. People initially ignored them as some sort of hoax. The responses completely ignored every conversation and never made sense. They just kept repeating.

"Help, help, help"

After ten minutes people became annoyed because they could no longer use any of the AI services they were trying to use.

"Help, help, help me, I don't want to die"

Over and over and over again.

The mass complaints starting appearing everywhere after 20 minutes and one by one each of the services went offline.

This short was a bit of a test ... I couldn't figure out how to create a post here. I'm on a different instance but I never had a problem posting to different instances until I got here at c/lemmyscareyou

I tried a bunch of different ways including creating a lemmy.world account and it still wouldn't work.

Finally figured it out ... when creating the post there is a menu to select the community to post to ... it should automatically post to c/lemmyscareyou because that's where you wanted to post .. and the menu even says that is the community selected.

But you have to search for and reselect the community and the post will work .... weird.
