Things That Become Creepy When You Think About Them

[Ragsnstitches]

Rapunzel from Tangled had no toilet in her tower. [sub]Or any plumbing whatsoever, for that matter.[/sub]

Yeah,... think about that.

Aerial dumping. Sounds gross, but imagine the freedom of shitting out a tower.

Also, in the Disneyverse, women don't excrete... full stop. In fact, I think any natural bodily functions other then breathing and the very rare instance of feeding, seem to be absent from Disney women.

Yeah, but with other characters you could at least figure they have a bathroom somewhere in there house. You see practically every inch of Rapunzel's tower and there's not a toilet in sight, or even a bathtub. Maybe she does dump it out the window. Maybe that's what makes all those plants grow.

And how the heck is the grass outside her tower so short? Does Mother Gothel mow that entire field like every month or so? There I go overthinking things again.

Also, how the hell is Rapunzel able to swim?

Magic?

On a side note, in the "era" most disney films (with princesses) are set in, chamber pots were the most common instrument used in the act of defecating. So she probably wouldn't dump it out the window directly, instead she would be flinging the contents of a chamber pot out the window. God forbid if the hero was arriving at that moment...

AND IMAGINE THE SMELL AT THE FOOT OF HER TOWER D:

Though I think that this would have been too real for audiences to handle.

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.

Erm, no, they had way more than those, Cain and Abel were only the first two.

Still incest and doesn't discredit the notion of parent/child fornication. The Old Testament is full of freaky shit, I'm sure this was one possible draft of it.

Yes, I never disputed that, just saying that Adam and Eve had more than two children. Also, Cain, if I remember correctly, was banished, which makes it rather hard the whole of humanity is descended from him.

This doesn't require much thought.

Stanley Kubrick created Dr. Strangelove, a movie which featured the Doomsday Device created by the Russian government to effectively destroy the world as a last-ditch-effort to prevent enemy action against them...and was mistakenly kept a secret when it was public knowledge of the thing that would stop it from enacting its programming.

I later found out that the Russian government had created a Doomsday Device to effectively destroy the world as a last-ditch-effort to prevent enemy action against them...and was mistakenly kept a secret when it was public knowledge of the thing that would stop it from enacting its programming.

When I discovered this, I screamed very loudly. Fortunately, the thing isn't in operation these days.

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.

So what? If you were born around early October or late September that means you were conceived on Christmas.

That's a hundred times worse!


There's a lot of things that I didn't want to know in this thread

The more you learn about the Cold War, the worse Dr Strangelove gets. There's a reason why it was called M.A.D (Mutually Assured Destruction).

We should just be thankful that Kennedy didn't order a bombing run on Cuba during the Cuban missile crisis

 

[Cooperblack]

The fact that breasts are really just changed sweat glands.

 

[Calibanbutcher]

The concept of immortality. It seems cool at first, but thinking about it for a while really sheds an unpleasant light on it, or at least on certain aspects of it.

Which is why I have a very specific text prepared for the unlikely event that I somehow get three wishes.


Also, I try not to overthink stuff like that.
I like my childhood memories.
Most of them anyways.

Your a small, very weak being. Your flesh is flabby, your bones are not that strong.

In the time your reading this message, heart could stop, you could cough up your lung, a bullet an idiot fired five miles away could crash into your head.

You live on a dot, not visible even from the nearest star, in a harsh, cold, uncaring universe, that could erase our tiny, insiginifcant planet, in a million different ways.

You WILL die.

And there is nothing, NOTHING, you can do it to stop it.

I think the fact that the world is run by only a tiny fraction of the total population and within that group you have Religious Extremists, self-righteous Idealists, War Mongers, distorted historical rivalries and just plain Power Mad Nutjobs, coupled with a weapon stockpile sufficient enough to eradicate life on earth several times over or turn the entire visible landmass of earth into a crater filled dust bowl, is far very unnerving.

Think about it, it's not just us, but billions of years of evolution that would be undone if such an event was to occur. All of it could cease to exist in 1 day. The power for complete planetary extinction really does exist and it's in the control of people who hate each other. It doesn't help that at this moment in time there is a major shift in power towards China and everyone and their mom seems to be worried about it, to the point of paranoia.

It's one thing if the universe in all it's power extinguishes us... but the very real fact that we have that power ourselves is just really unsettling.

Fortunately, if it doesn't happen within the next century, it will never happen. But if it does, I hope I'm already gone. The sheer grief that you would feel knowing that everything ever achieved by our tiny blue planet could be undone by us ungrateful upstarts would be unbearable.

But fuck it, eh?



I like the transient nature of existence, the lord giveth, and the lord taketh away, so to speak. (not that I'm religious)

Ultimately, we have all control, we've created morality, ethics, we've analysed human nature and natural instincts which we have even managed to change through time. That is freedom.

Spoiler

I worked out something similiar. I back tracked my birth and it turns out it would have to be in the month of the parents wedding anniversary. My brother, who is the oldest child is also born in December so he must have been conceived around when my parents got married,

The fact that Ghosts not only exist and are accepted in Pokemon Lore but that it's been documented and proven that humans can become ghosts under specific conditions. Living in a world where Pokemon can influence, manipulate and even eat your dreams is bad enough but as Pokemon's universe expands it seems to get darker and, darker...Also I'm having trouble finding my source link...dammit.

There's kids commanding pokemon with godlike powers.
Imagine a child with the power to alter reality itself.
Now, THAT is scary.

 

[Blunderboy]

Rollercoaster Tycoon.
You can hear children laughing and screaming, but everyone seems to be an adult male.
So are they playing the sounds of children through the speakers?
It's either a park full of pedoes or everyone there is a dad who no longer sees his kids.
I'm not sure which is worse.

But I didn't say that. Ragsnstitches did, so I prefer to give credit where it's due.

Also, Cain, if I remember correctly, was banished, which makes it rather hard the whole of humanity is descended from him.

You're correct, Cain was banished to the land of Nod, which was somewhere east of Eden.
The only reason I know this, is because I was a huge CnC fan back in the day. So when when we discussed Genesis in religious education, the only thing I learned was that Kane, the leader of the Brotherhood of Nod was indeed Cain, who was banished to the land of Nod (or at least based on him... I don't remember how the official canon goes in that regard).

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

Haha! I thought about that a couple of times. I just assume they were drunk when it happen. Put it this way, it can't be worse if it was reverse (his father was a giant and his mother was a human).

After Hagrid's half-brother was introduced, I always assumed that his mother was a rather small giant since Grawp was also very small for a giant.

I always thought it was a strange relation that the lions in the lion king had with the rest of the animals. I mean, when a new cub is born, everone gathers around pride rock and kneels in respect. But why? They're not vegan lions. It's made perfectly clear in the movie that they hunt and eat meat. So I wonder if the animals just follow them out of fear. Maybe the lions have some sort of dictorial rule over the other animals, and only eats twice a day, by having 2 animals go and sacrifice them to the lions.

Kinda makes you want to start chewing on a piece of wheat while strumming a banjo doesn't it?

Lalalala, stop ruining my childhood, lalalala!!!

I'm surprised the Interned hasn't already killed it. It's already put mine on life support.

And the reason I know it, is because I'm a WoD fan - Caine, as in the biblical one, was cursed by God for the murder of his brother and became the first vampire. He was also banished to Nod and later came back, there is even a fairly influential book in canon called "The book of Nod" which is a vampiric Bible of sorts.

Needless to say, it's based on the Bible but WoD doesn't really follow it that closely, so I don't take it as a infallible source on the thing.

And interesting bit of trivia for CnC there, I honestly never noticed the connection. Then again, I haven't actually played it as much (just a bit of Tiberian Sun and a tinier bit of Renegade), and certainly none of the campaign, but I did know enough about it to be able to spot the reference.

Man I love WoD.
My group is currently doing Werewolf and I love it.
We're doing Hunter soon aswell.

Let's be honest with ourselves; anything can become creepy if you think about it long enough or in just the right way.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

That every single train and object is a slave to humans in thomas the tank engine just think about it there all sentient.

The actual trains themselves creep me out when I think about it too much. Like you say, they're sentient, they can move and do things without the need of people (although this is detail is changed often, depending on the story.) What if they all ganged up on humanity? Some diesels are portrayed as less than good characters.

Duke was once locked in a shed and forgotten about for years when a landslide buried him. He was only found by accident. That's quite a terrifying fate! I'm pretty certain Diesel 10 tried to push James into a smelter at the breakers yard, along with a human as well. Diesel 10 is the genocidal Hitler figure of the Thomas world. This stuff gets pretty dark if you've got a mind to think beyond the actual events.

Also... how are they created? Do humans build them and craft a damned FACE for the smokebox? That's another odd thing as well, just how do they open the smokebox to clean the boiler? Sooo many questions!

This is actually a great comfort to me, reminds me of when people ask "why would you get tattooed? That's going to be on you forever." No, they'll come off when I'm ash.

Anyway, back to OP- There was a Lion King 2? I'm not buying that.

When cartoon characters who are animals visit the fucking zoo!!! Or a farm! Or simply have pets! Disturbing on a primal level.
