Things That Become Creepy When You Think About Them

[TheOrb]

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

How is that creepy? I mean, I don't like the idea that I'm a byproduct of a arbitrary consumeristic day, but it's hardly creepy.

You were conceived from some kinky, lusty hot and sticky Valentines day 'special sex' your parents had to celebrate how attractive they still find each other.

I find that super creepy, but then my Birthday is November 10th...

So what if they had sex? They were in love, and they made a commitment to have a child, otherwise there would've been contraception or you would've been aborted. Kinky or not, it was THEIR love-making session. I'm pretty sure your parents were attractive at that time; hell, they might still be attractive now.

I was born at 7:32 (or thereabouts)on November 14th 1994, I think it was after something like 28 hours of labour. Can't remember if I was premature or not, but even if I was; I find nothing wrong in the possiblity of my parents having sex on or roundabout Fabuary the 14th. In fact, I had this thought about 3 years ago, and I wasn't bothered then.

But then again, I am emotionally distant.

Dunno about the second, but I think someone dying and people eating his entrails is good enough without any additional meaning.
Yep.
Yep.

Unrelated, but still kind of cool, my captcha was dinosaur spaceship

I've actually heard that interpretation before, but it honestly seems as tenuous as the Black Plague one.

Still, either way, it remains a creepy nursery rhyme.

humanity existence. the more you think of how we managed to survive the sicker it becomes.

...Okay, I'll bite. How is it disturbing?

The reason we survived is because we're so fucking good at killing everything else...Not seeing the fridge horror here...

we come in guns blazing and destroy everything in our path, forcing our belifs onto the world and when there is nowhere else to stampede we slaughter eachother for "Breathing space" (and yes thats a hitler reference). Our existence is to destroy existence of others.

Just because we're better at it than other species doesn't make us 'creepy'. I don't really understand how that's considered creepy.

I guess if you think about organic oils are bit creepy. Ancient dead animals (and plants) as fuel.

i think we have a completely different definitions of creepy.

Care to elaborate? I can understand how you see it as a bad thing, but creepy?

dont you think its creepy that you exist solely because your ancestors murdered out any competition?

So what if they had sex? They were in love, and they made a commitment to have a child, otherwise there would've been contraception or you would've been aborted. Kinky or not, it was THEIR love-making session. I'm pretty sure your parents were attractive at that time; hell, they might still be attractive now.

what if your mother was raped on valentines day because someone "had the urge" and abortion is kinda non-existent where i live?

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...

Its been filtered out by nature so if any on that stuff remained it would be so micro it would as dirty as just breathing air. But I see where you were going with this.

Pokecentre's.

I always saw the balls beeing put in to that Centre Healing thingy, like a tray of cupcakes beeing heated.
Then i'd go like: "wait there's Pokemon in them". *the mental images*

No thank you nurse Candycane, i'll heal them myself....

Really? That's it? Not the fact that Nurse Joy says "We hope to see you again soon!" right after handing back your freshly-healed-from-being-beaten-to-a-pulp Pokemon?

OT: There's a bathroom on the Normandy in Mass Effect 2 and 3. The creepier part? There's only one bathroom on the Normandy in Mass Effect 2 and 3. And it's in the Captain's Quarters.

Well, we don't know how the aliens poop, and aside from Jacob and Kaidan, everybody is welcome to drop their pants in "Casa Di FemShep".

But on topic again, Nurse PinkyPie never bothered me, because i kept that place in business by letting my Pokemon get beat up.
And i could use their pc, this was before Wifi, so well worth it.

I guess I don't really, it's not like it's something unique to our species, it's just what happens in nature.

Natural.

Right.

Like arming bears?

I KNOW ABOUT YOUR AGENDA!

 

[Sharp Blue]

OT: Gingerbread men. Who came up with this idea? Hmmm, let's make some cookies. Okay, now let's make them shaped like FUCKING PEOPLE. And pretty much everyone seems okay with this. Gahhhh.

I started laughing uncontrollably after reading this, If I go far enough back in time I would probably find one of my ancestors making cookies shaped like their enemies and then: OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM...

The idea of uploading my brain to a computer network seems awesome, the theory is something like building a network set up to work like a brain with capacitors for neurons and busses for dendrites or something like that and then moving your brain onto its new habitat. It then sort of keeps together and becomes you?re consciousness as a "Program". This scares the shit out of me because when you move your brain onto the network you are in fact copying it. In the Otherland books by Tad Williams the Grail project tries this, but they kill their bodies, so that their consciousness passes to the network but no matter how I look at it I still see only suicide. Even if I don't kill my body it won't be my consciousness being uploaded, it is just a copy and I get left behind. Or am I misunderstanding?

Also Skyrim, I cleared a dungeon full of bandits, only one of them was female, and she was just an archer, one of the weakest bandits. She lived in a dungeon with a bunch of men who rob (and sometimes murder people.) for a living. This hit me just after I exited the dungeon, I had to take a break from skyrim after that.

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.

Disney? Ariel. Water. Poop.

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*

 

[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.

 

[katsabas]

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...

 

[Yopaz]

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?

 

[Pink Gregory]

"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.

 

[alimination602]

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.

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).

 

[rob_simple]

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.

 

[KarlMonster]

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?

Who decides what you learn?

 

[Some_weirdGuy]

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.

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