When I was about 8 years old (2016) I woke up early while my parents were still asleep and turned on the TV to see what to watch. Superjail was on and I cried due to so much gore being on the TV, even if it was cartoon gore. I was 8.

    So I’m not particularly proud of this, but the emergency broadcasting tests used to scare the bejebus out of me when I was a little kid. Like run into another room and hide scared. I don’t even really know what they were or were for, but they just seemed scary.

      Yeah, same here. It’s those damn alert tones. They aren’t even meant to get people’s attention, in America at least, they’re just a handy side effect of the digitally encoded audio signal the system uses.

      The extra siren for Amber alerts though, that’s what would set me off.
