Things That Become Creepy When You Think About Them

[Dascylus]

If you have a mid-November birthday that means you were conceived 9 months ago, in mid-February. In fact probably around about February 14th.

Spoiler

I was born in the beginning of September... Yay for New Year.

Also, the Joo Dee zombies from the Last Airbender.

Katsabas, the Earth King has invited you to Lake Loagai.


OT: Life. Just mull that shit over for awhile.

I am honored to accept his invitation...

Hagrid from Harry Potter is half giant. His dad was a human and his mom was a giant...

Wouldn't it be worse if his father was a giant?

OT: I am going with one of the obvious ones here and mention Pokemon and food. All animals and many plants are Pokemon, yet we ogten see them eating food containing both meat, vegetables and eggs. Now this means that they must be eating a lot of Pokemon. After all the trouble I went through to capture a Tauros in Safari Zone is he going to become a burger? Is my Chansey slaughtered to make scrambled eggs?

"George's Marvellous Medicine" is about a boy essentially poisoning his grandmother with a cocktail of household chemicals, animal medicine and paint. I don't know why I didn't notice that before.

Then again, it's hardly surprising coming from Roald "Woman kills husband with lamb shank, feeds it to the police" Dahl.

The question ?Carrot or cucumber?? when applied in a medical context.

The reason being is that being an avid reader of the Tom Reynolds book ?Blood Sweat and Tea? detailing the life of a London Ambulance worker I have learnt that there are no shortage of people either arriving in hospital or requiring an ambulance with the condition FBUA, which translates in medical terminology as ?Foreign Body Up Arse?. I think you can see where I?m going.

Then again, a lot of old fairly tales were really messed up (see: Rumplestiltskin's fate in the original story *shudders*)

I just hit up wikipedia, and he originally just runs away forever. What's so bad about that? I assume you mean the one where he rips himself in half, but that's a change to the story that happened 45 years later.

Milk has a maximum allowable pus content. Just let that bit sink in. Also, peanut butter has a maximum allowable ratio of insect parts per jar.

Yeah, the one where he rips himself in half (from the crotch up, might I add) is what I was talking about. I grew up with a really old book of fairy tales, and because of it's age, I had assumed that the getting ripped in half thing was the original ending. My bad.
Either way, it's screwy. It's like that one Fatality for Kung Lao in the new Mortal Kombat, but instead of a sharpened, spinning blade, it's a freaking blunt piece of wood.

And milk has a maximum allowable content of...
It has...
*puts down glass of milk*
*goes into fetal position and cries*

All food has a maximum accepted limit of bugs, fecal matter, etc. It is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of it all. You have ingested, over your life, quite a lot of that stuff. Just think, though, how bad things were BEFORE this limit was put into place for reasons of health.

Yeeaaaah.
... maybe that's why our immune systems are so shit, we're not being exposed to the grossness to bolster up our immune system! QUICK! START EATING YOUR POOP!
(No, don't do that, please).

This has always bothered me, but in Naruto when they defeated Hidan by burying him miles under the ground because they couldn't kill him, that really, really freaked me out.

It's the main problem I have with being immortal: now he's trapped in complete darkness, unable to move but still fully conscious and physically aware, unable to die until the end of the world.

I can honestly think of nothing more horrible than that.

I didn't actually believe you when you said I might not be able to sleep but I absolutely loath HATE spiders.

I don't understand why. You gobbled up all those other spiders in days and years gone by. Why should it be a problem now?

Fortunately, if it doesn't happen within the next century, it will never happen.

Annnd that's why we're really doomed. Because fanaticism, egotism, patriotism, despotism, opportunism, and jism are part of the human psyche. Human nature won't be majikally transformed just because nobody actually did something that stupid yet. We won't become any wiser as a species because we simply don't want to learn from the past. Not only will we continue to have the capability to destroy everything, we are also going to develop new ways to do it. Humans are still messing around with biological weapons. How is that going to change? The very worst thing to do is have a positive outlook about it, like sheep. Hold the bastards accountable.

On Topic:
Who decides what you learn?
When we look at the world, we see everything through the lens of experience. We don't appreciate suffering until we learn what pain is. We don't grasp accomplishment until we have struggled to create. What we see is closer to the truth, if our education and experience is unbiased. But what if it is not unbiased?

Who decides what you learn? In many cases the answer is 'the Government' and 'the Church'. But they're both highly biased in multiple ways. In the U.S., bitter battles are being fought over whether evolution may be taught, and even how old planet Earth can be. A literal interpretation of the Bible only allows that the Earth is 6000 years old, which means that oil and gas deposits are impossible and cannot exist. Unless God put it there for man to pollute the air later on.

The Roman Catholic Church claims (so the Protestants didn't know any better when they split off) that the disciple Peter was the first Pope. Peter did not go to Rome saying, "I need to become the head of a vast and powerful religious institution!" Catholicism did not fully split from the Orthodox Church until the Western Empire fell after 461, and before that, the most powerful Bishop was in Constantinople; where he had the ear of the Emperor.

What else have they lied about?
What else don't they want you to know?
Why don't they want you to know it?

Not quite what you meant by this thread I should think, but:
----

A young girl is lying in bed, slowly nodding off to sleep. She hears her mother's voice calling from the kitchen, and begins to make her way down the hall. Suddenly, something reaches out from the closet and drags her in, cupping a hand over her mouth to stifle any cries. In her ear a voice whispers,
"Don't go into the kitchen. I heard it too"
It is her mother.


----
Let it sink in. It grows creepier the more you mull over it.

Doppelgangers are creepy. Thats as far as I got. Could you maybe add something that would make it creepier?

That's all I got out of it as well, not sure if I'm missing something or that's all there is to it.

If you're really struggling to draw out the conclusions the little story leads to then PM me and I could explain, but that will kinda spoil the whole experience if we have to do it that way...

Alternatively, try again, think on it a little more, especially what could be implied by this and also what could be the source.

 

[Zenino]

is everyone in the pokemon universe vegitarian?! do they eat meat... what pokemon are they eating!

 

[x EvilErmine x]

Eating snow... Lot's of people do it but... Well...

Snow is formed from evaporated water...
Water comes from the sea...
Drains flush into the sea...
Drains flush out shit, piss and vomit as well as period blood, evidence and wank tissues....

If you have ever eaten snow or got it on your tongue, face, whatever you have been covered in what is essentially semen, blood, piss and hastily destroyed child pornography...

Just think about that for a minute...

Hate to be the one to brake this to you but ALL water is like this. Unless you burn hydrogen and oxygen to create your own water, that very same water you are drinking/inhaling/absorbing/eating/ etc... was one inside some one/something else

OT

Tom and Jerry cartoons (or any of the old ones tbh). The amount of violence and pain that they inflict on each other is shocking. Not to mention the psychological trauma,

Becasue! Because.... Oh come one. When do people ever act logically when it comes to their fears?

About the time the acknowledge it as such and say "Get me away from that so I don't freak out"?

 

[Tallim]

I find most young kids shows are extremely disturbing when you think about them too much.

Thomas The Tank Engine........really, that's screwed up. Especially the one with a story about an old engine that got turned into a generator and then buried and forgotten in an old tunnel somewhere. Was it still sentient? Did the conversion hurt? Disturbing stuff.

 

[Beat14]

Eggs, as in the ones you eat. In other cultures they will have the foetus to eat as well. No thanks.

I like eggs, and can just about manage to eat when thinking about what they are and where they came from.

 

[elilupe]

I always get somewhat unsettled by the idea of life after death. I mean, what could it be that wouldn't be incredibly boring? If the idea of Heaven and Hell(or something similar) is true(I'm not saying it is, just a what if) then, obviously Hell would suck, but Heaven wouldn't be that exciting, would it? We always get told good things can't be truly appreciated without bad things, and a land with only good things wouldn't exactly be great after a while. And it would be a while, as assumedly Heaven is forever...

 

[TAGM]

The story of Adam and Eve, if you think about it really hard we'd all be inbred, making the taboo of incest irrelevant

What makes it creepier is that (if I remember right), Adam and Eve only had two kids, Cain and Able. Cain killed Able, so according to the Bible, we're all the spawn of a quite literal mother fucking murderer.

Of course, then you have to remember that all those guys and gals grew up to be evil dicks (Makes sense, really), and then God decided "Fuck it, restart" and flooded the place, leaving no-one alive...

Baring Noah and his family. Noah had, if I remember correctly, 4 kids and a wife, and was, at the time of flooding, something like 800 years old.
So we're not all the bastard offspring of a mother fucking murderer, just a family of people, one of whom was still somehow fucking at 800 years old.

... Actually, that's sorta less creepy, and more kind of off-the-wall-banana-nut-butter-crazy.

 

[AsurasEyes]

I know HP Lovecraft is already creepy, but when you really contemplate the fact that Obed Marsh fucked a fish-person and that the father of Wilbur Whately pimped out his daughter to Yog-Sothoth, one of the outer gods, and you wonder what those people went through, never ceases to make me shiver and wanna scrub myself.

Chill Andrew Ryan, you aren't in Rapture now, the church and government may not like that thinking.

(Too good a reference to pass up, don't hate me.)

 

[AgDr_ODST]

The story of Adam and Eve, if you think about it really hard we'd all be inbred, making the taboo of incest irrelevant

I had this same fear/theory but then the former pastor at my church assuaged me of it. He said that Adam and Eve were the first to be created and that others were created they just aren't mentioned.

OT: take the battles in Pokemon the games(and maybe the anime) and simply substitute the word fainted for died and imagine how much more fucked up it all is now. They're forced fight to the death and then their masters take them to the centers to be healed[footnote]or brought back to life[/footnote] and concerning the game as far the ones you catch go as long as you keep going to the poke-centers they're doomed to die and be revived again and again so long as they're on your team of 6. And then theirs Pokemon evolving into their next forms, that can't be as simple and as painless as it seems to be
