Something has been up with my computer ever since I got the screen fixed

Earlier this month I accidentally sat on my computer while it was lying on my bed and cracked the screen. I wanted to get a new one, but I’m a broke biology major who can’t even afford an apartment yet, so I instead took it to a little repair shop on the outskirts of town. The owner, a balding Turkish man with a potbelly, seemed nice enough, and he assured me that the whole thing would be good as new within three days.

As soon as I got it back, I plopped down on my bed and prepared to lose myself in internetland for a few hours. As soon as I logged on, however, I immediately knew something was up. The wallpaper was a picture I didn’t remember taking-It was a random teenage girl at a theme park uncomfortably posing with an actor in a bull costume. I had no idea where it came from, but I was sure it had been put there deliberately. The first thing I checked was my email, but for some reason, I was logged in as some strange account that certainly wasn’t mine. I couldn’t help but look through some of their messages-they were written in a bizarre alphabet that looked Indian and sent from people with names like Hermes Trismegistus, Cernunnos, and Abd Al-Dhalam. When I tried logging in with my own account, Gmail told me that it didn’t exist, even though it still worked perfectly fine on my phone.

YouTube wasn’t much better-when I searched for every channel I watched, I only got random videos with nonsense titles and fewer than 1,000 views. I decided to click on one of them entitled “Saturn when quintessence German Horus resilient with zodiac” and found a group of soldiers surrounding a tied-up man and holding large guns.

“Let this be a message to all who all who call themselves our enemies.” said one of them, who had a strange accent I didn’t recognize. “We will hunt you down and find you in whatever god-forsaken cranny of the Earth you may hide in. None are safe from the wrath of the Golden Path.” He held his gun up to the man’s head and fired, leaving nothing but a bloody, unrecognizable clump of brain matter.

“What in the actual heck?” I thought to myself. There was no way the algorithm would allow this.

Another one of the soldiers grabbed a second tied-up man, who was mumbling something unintelligible, and tossed him on the ground. “Get down, vermin!” he exclaimed. The first soldier put his gun to his head and killed him in an equally graphic fashion. I changed the video to one called “Victorious Nestorian soon run messenger under time aether”.

“Welcome back to “Keep Your Head Up!” said a friendly-looking man in a suit and tie. “I’m your host, Alastor Grealish, and these are your contestants for tonight!”

The screen switched to a terrified man chained to a brick wall with some kind of slicer in front of his neck. “From Schenectady, New York, he’s got a six-pack, a 600 grand salary, and at least sixty problems he’s scared to talk about with his therapist-give it up for (name)!”

Next came a tall, skinny woman with red hair. “From San Antonio, Texas, she has a passion for medieval history, although I just may have to yell “off with her head!” if she fails tonight-let’s have a round of applause for (name)!”

Lastly came a bald, elderly African-American man. “From Little Rock, Arkansas, he’s been on God’s green earth 82 long years, and we’d better hope he spent them learning useless trivia…it’s (name)! As you all know, each of our contestants will be given a series of questions on various topics; should they get them wrong, their heads will promptly be chopped off. The last one alive wins the game. Let’s begin-in Egyptian mythology, who is the first of the gods and the father of Shu and Tefnut?”

“R…R…Ra?” sputtered the red-haired woman, clearly terrified.

“I’m sorry, but the correct answer is Atum.” replied the host. The slicer came down on the woman’s neck, and her head fell to the floor.

“Aaaaand…that’s enough for now.” I thought to myself, closing the tab.

I logged onto Reddit, hoping things would get more normal. Spoiler alert: they didn’t. For starters, r/AskReddit was filled with questions like “What are some demons I can summon to kill my brother?”, “What is the best way to prepare a little girl’s flesh?”, and “What is your favorite animal to torture?”, each one receiving completely unironic answers. some subs, such as r/HolUp and r/thomastheplankengine, featured nonsense posts with images that looked like something straight out of the Voynich Manuscript, while others, like r/insanepeoplefacebook and r/todayilearned, were used for fetish porn. I’m not even going to go into what I saw on r/copypasta.

I checked my phone, and all three websites seemed to be working as usual. When my computer was in the repair shop, something happened to connect it to what appears to be an evil alternate version of the internet. It’s sitting on my desk as we speak-I desperately need your advice on what I should do.
