going to the park with your kids and letting them play on the playground while you sit 3 feet away.
then realizing you can’t see them anymore, and no matter how loudly you call for them, they don’t answer.
being a kid at the park and getting dragged off to a van where you’re crying and screaming for your father but he doesn’t look up to see you. as you’re dragged into the van and the doors close, your world is encapsulated in darkness and you know you will never escape.
Becoming a quadriplegic or suffering from “locked in” syndrome, where I can no longer move anything myself, cannot feed myself or use the toilet, etc, just laying there, 100% dependent on other people for everything. I’d rather be dead, thanks.
Ebola
Read The Hot Zone bloody terrifying **
A failed democracy.
A lot already mentioned, so those too, but also:
Rogue black holes. Just thinking about them makes my guts queasy.
getting spahgettified is hard to imagine. since time dilation is in effect it would take years to notice.

On the smaller scale it’s probably my wife and dog dying, in the larger scheme of things it’s the rise of fascism here in Germany and Europe.
Fascism going to keep rising. The conservatives have had rational discussion made impossible their concerns have been ignored and now they make up enough of the population to take power by force. The left has been calling everyone who is even slightly conservative a fascist Nazi over and over again and people are starting to agree with them.

The fact that you’re quoting Goebbels pretty much explains your entire comment.
If their is anyone who knows how to radicalise people its gerbals. If people are doing as he says that’s what u need to worry about.
Gerbals is a famous jazz musician. I think the word you’re looking for is Gerbils.
ad hominem
No, no, we do don’t this here. This is bait and it is intentionally misleading. If you want rational discussions, don’t present arguments in bad faith.
Long live your wife and dog
What kind of dog do you have?
A Bernese Mountain Dog girl. I don’t think I have to mention that she is, indeed, a very good dog.
Dog tax:
And America, and Asia, and etcetera… :( maybe Antarctica is still chill though?
Any disease that causes you to slowly go mad. Things like fatal insomnia or rabies.
the worst one is FFI, which you dont sleep til you die. and there other variants of CJVD, thats just as strange. prions are also found in FUNGI, although it does the opposite rather than a disease state, its an evolutionary benefit rather than a disease. also the “so called protocol to put someone in a coma” on treating rabies, is largely been criticized and debunked as a various dangerous procedur, they could not replicate the same effect.
Getting falsely accused of something that requires me to interface/deal with, and potentially be incarcerated within, the US justice system. Fuck all that with a bundle of rusty rebar.
The worst is that it can possibly happen at any given moment. You could look at a redcap Karen in a store, they take it the wrong way, and bam, your life is a loving hell for the next decade or more. Nope.com
Cancer. Everyone has a bunch of fucked up cells at all times, but your body keeps you healthy by repairing or killing them, time after time after time… until one of those cells says “fuck the system” and goes rogue. No one is safe.
Yup. My SO got mouth cancer a couple years back in their early 30’s, even though the operation was succesful and chemo & radiation worked and they’ll be considered cancer-free in about 9 months, the fact that it happened so early means it’s quite likely they’ll get it again. How does one live with that information? And as a partner how do I build my life around it? Of course it’s possible they’ll never get that shit again, but it would be foolish to not prepare ourselves mentally for the worst. If it’s around the head they can’t get more radiation. If it’s in the same place than the previous one they’d would probably lose their ability speak, eat properly etc. The chemo probably made them infertile so if we’d like to have biological childer we have just a couple years to make the decision, and I have restrictions about that so we’d have to look for other opportunities anyways, and we should start looking for them now but we * can’t *. If we move elsewhere, as we’d like to, the chances are they won’t get as good treatment as here. I don’t feel like I’m ready to consider all this in my mid 30’s while I’m still trying to find my place in the world. So yeah, fuck cancer.
also HPV has been implicated in mouth cancers, which are typically rare diseases, although alot them seems to stem from smoking, tobacco,etc. the one scary mouth cancer is the one that forms from your gums(ameloblastoma, or the carcinoma variant)
There are various factors that increase the risk of course, but according to the doctors for a person this young the exposure is not the reason for getting sick. Epigenetics could be the reason for the increase in young people’s mouth cancers as epigenetic changes in genes can transmit across generations, meaning it’s possible that, for example, environmental exposure that occurred in one generation, could be transmitted even further beyond their children and grandchildren.
Rape and murder always top this kind of conversation. The other day i was thinking about japanese occupation and man, that shit must’ve been scariest shit for all the victim involved.
I just finished a re-listen of Dan Carlin’s “Supernova in the East, which is like 30 hours covering everything Japan did during the great wars. It was insanity.
Surviving my children.
Homeless in the gutter on a cold night, shivering so hard it hurts like needles, wondering hoping to find the threshold of death in the hopeless misery of a lost battle of life in a dystopian world with no ethics or morality; surrounded by people that treat animals orders of magnitude better than me; completely indifferent and uncaring about my last breaths and thoughts as I pass alone in the freezing cold.
This is me but the animals are hurting, too.
That we may be living in a world where the super-rich and powerful from all countries have conspired to establish a kind of global absolutist monarchy of the utterly unscrupulous, in which fabricated conflicts between countries serve mostly to distract from the fact that those pulling the strings behind the scenes have already undermined every political system and are simply pitting people against each other in order to secure even more power for themselves through war, mass surveillance, propaganda, the rationing of essential goods, and blatant destruction.
Please note: This is a conspiracy theory with no solid evidence, not a fact, but a dystopia that unfortunately seems increasingly realistic these days.
As a counter point, when I see the super rich, they sll have huge egos. So while they may sceme together occasionslly when it suits them, I can’t see them all conspiring together because they all seem to think they know what’s best.
Yes, that’s true, of course, and it’s the reason why no clear patterns can be found here. However, as is often the case with conspiracy theories, this could also be dismissed as a distraction from the conspiracy.
But you are absolutely right: we should stick to the facts—this idea is just a nightmare scenario for me because even in democratic systems it would make freedom, self-determination, and above all the hope for better times almost completely impossible.
Elephant shit, because it is so much.
