You Heard Right, There Was a Milwaukee Cannibal (and it Wasn't a Particularly Picky Eater)
We've all got our quirks, right? Some folks collect porcelain cats, others spend their weekends perfecting their competitive yo-yo skills. But then there's Jeffrey Dahmer, the fellow who takes "unique hobbies" to a whole new level.

Who Was This "Milwaukee Cannibal" Anyway?
Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as the Milwaukee Monster or (insert dramatic music here) the Milwaukee Cannibal, was a serial killer who lurked in the shadows of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, between 1978 and 1991. Seventeen, that's right, 17 unfortunate souls fell victim to his dark desires. Now, "serial killer" is a pretty bad rap, but Dahmer wasn't your average murderer. This guy liked to keep things interesting. Hence, the whole "cannibal" nickname.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
A Disturbing Buffet: What Exactly Did He Do?
Let's just say Dahmer wasn't a fan of takeout. He lured his victims, mostly young men, with promises of fun or money, then things took a turn for the terrifying. We're talking drugged drinks, strangulation, and the dismemberment of bodies. But Dahmer wasn't done yet. He engaged in necrophilia and even dabbled in cannibalism. Not exactly the recipe for a well-rounded breakfast. The details are pretty gruesome, so we'll leave those to the history books (or the truly curious who can stomach a good internet search).
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
How Did This All End?
Thankfully, Dahmer's reign of terror didn't last forever. In 1991, after a particularly awful encounter with a would-be victim, he was caught. He ended up spending the rest of his days behind bars, where he was eventually beaten to death by another inmate in 1994. Not exactly a happy ending, but hey, at least it wasn't another all-you-can-eat buffet situation.
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
