The Picture That Broke Reddit
[ranking: 10]
Status: Solved... sort of?
In 2015, someone posted a super weird picture along with the caption, "This image was generated by a computer on its own." Even though users immediately recognized that it was a Google DeepDream type photo, they couldn't figure out how the computer got from a picture of a squirrel to whatever demonic acid trip is in the final photo.
The thread is full of interesting insights on what constitutes art and how computers can be creative within a set of parameters, but somehow, no one mentioned that this photo brings us one step closer to Cyberdyne taking over the world.
Unfavorable Semicircle
[ranking: 13]
Staus: Unsolved
In early 2015, "unfavorable semicircle" joined YouTube and started posting ALL the videos. Seriously, they posted something like 10,000 videos - most of them were about two to three seconds long. But the two important videos were titled "Lock" and "Delock," and they featured intense, over-processed, lo-fi audio and heavily pixelated visuals. Theories about the visuals range from the videos being a type of numbers station to some kind of test for government agents.
In February 2016, YouTube took the videos down due to "multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy against spam, gaming, misleading content, or other Terms of Service violations." But don't worry, you can watch a cache of the videos on unfavorablesemicircle.com.
Nequam Sonitus
[ranking: 11]
Status: Solved, but weird
Okay, where to start with Nequam Sonitus? How about this random CD that someone got in the mail featuring noise music and album art covered in websites? It turns out that the CD had GPS coordinates hidden in a sound file that directed people to an old factory. But when people started posting about the factory, a spooky "monster" started responding to Redditors in comments - it was a whole thing.
The mystery ended up being viral marketing for an experimental musician... or was it? (It definitely was.)
What's Happening On Mount Chiliad?
[ranking: 17]
Status: Unsolved, but also fictional
Mount Chiliad is an area within Grand Theft Auto V that features alien abductions, a mysterious mural, and a weird red blinking thing. Normally, an in-game mystery wouldn't be a big deal, but so many users have banded together to try to solve this fictional UFO case that it's worth mentioning.
Some Redditors have even discussed building a website specifically for solving the case.
The Mysterious Sound In Forest Grove, OR
[ranking: 9]
Status: Unsolved and headache inducing
When an ABC news affiliate from Oregon posted a story about a mysterious squeaking sound that was haunting people in an Oregon town, Reddit got on the case. And even though one poster got way too into the mystery, everyone else pretty much decided that whatever the sound is, it's going to be disappointing.
The 432 Mystery
[ranking: 6]
Status: Unsolved... Deep Web Style
The 432 mystery began on 4chan with an email that read, "You have been selected, where have you gone? We are watching." Then, there was a link to a website full of more gobbledygook like that. But things got really weird when whoever was behind the site started posting pictures and IRC names of people trying to solve the mystery.
The original site seems to have stopped being updated, but that doesn't mean people have stopped looking for clues.
