And, more specifically, /b/. A fully functioning mind cannot comprehend what goes on there; it must be broken before you can understand. It takes insanity to understand insanity.
Funny, I was just reading One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Xanadu84's description kinda just destroyed that book for me. Insanity was just a literary device for me previously, but the cruel reality is that insanity isn't too fun.
I wouldn't say insanity is, "Just a literary device". Literary devices are powerful and illuminating to the human condition. Just because it isn't how it actually works among the actually mentally ill doesn't mean it has nothing to say. If that was true then I Tolstoy, Chaucer, and Shakespeare are all a bunch of hacks with nothing important to say.
And, more specifically, /b/. A fully functioning mind cannot comprehend what goes on there; it must be broken before you can understand. It takes insanity to understand insanity.
Still, is it possible to journey into 4chan without losing one's sanity? Specifically, posting on the forums clean of shock sites and turning off images?
These would all cause insanity in the survivors, the stuff I posted in the 'Saw' thread earlier:
Strap a naked man and woman together facing each other, and they each have blades literally nailed to parts of their bodies at random. They're in some kind of device to force them to move, basically forced sex, and the blades are slicing them both. Ecstasy in agony, basically. To escape, one has to die. They either both die (probably of blood loss), or one dies and the other is strapped to a corpse, adding a bit of necrophilia to the mix. When one dies the other gets released, although I'd imagine forced necrophilia and torture is enough to make them go insane anyway.
Greed here means material greed. Think Shylock from The Merchant of Venice. Anyway, for this, basically, a series of materialistic possessions of the victim would be modified to cause pain, so for example, add miniature razor blades to the inside of the person's clothes, then force them to wear said razor clothes. Lock the person in a room, and to escape, they would be told they had to use these objects that are with them for as long as they could, and you release them after any time you want. There would be devices that make the pain more unbearable, for example, a bed of nails that they'd have to sleep on wearing the razor underwear and so on. Blades on the walls and floor make it even worse.
For gluttony, the person has a funnel nailed to their mouth and various raw animal organs are poured into the funnel at a slow rate, and more gets added and faster as time goes on. The person will either choke to death, or to escape they have to slice open their own stomach and eat part of their own flesh.
Easy one here. The victim has to stay in an Iron Maiden or a bed of nails, and more nails are being pressed into them over time, all over, by a device they wear on their body. If they survive and stay awake for at least 24 hours they'll be released, the device they wear and the door to the room have time locks on them.
Disfigurement over time. Simple as that. The victim wears a device that has blades attached all over it and cuts them in different parts of their body, mostly the genitals and face, at set times. The slicing gets faster and more frequent over time, again, they have to survive for 24 hours to escape, another time lock on the device and door.
The victim here has the person they're envious of opposite them, and they're locked in chains to a bench made of blades. Their enemy then has a choice, to unlock the victim, in order to secure their own freedom, or kill themselves with a knife to give the first victim freedom instead. However, if the person unlocks the chains and frees the envious victim, then the choice of who lives or dies goes to the victim themself and they decide who is killed. Bit of a loyalty tester, this one...
The wrathful victim and the object of their hate are naked in a room save for the earlier mentioned bladed devices on their bodies, and they have a choice of bladed weapons. Then they fight to the death, but the walls and floor and ceiling of the room are made up knives sticking out, and they're standing on said knives. They basically fight to the death but the devices they're wearing are slowly killing them anyway, and to escape one has to kill the other before they die themselves.
I'm a really sick bastard, so I'm warning you not to open these spoiler boxes if you have a weak stomach or can't handle a bit of gore, since these are really very disgusting.
Yeah, they'd cause people to go mad... although I suppose to think of them in the first place I must be pretty messed up too...

As a psych studend, i have a lot of info to share on a subject so complex as mental disorders. Insanity is a misnomer because it doesnt denote any particular affliction or mental state. I have only found one way to succinctly explain such a complicated series of events that may lead to mental break down:
