The thought of the universe. Does the world end at a stopping point, or does it keep going and going, never stopping. And if there is a stopping point, what would stop you from crossing it. All of this makes my existance feel worthless. I mean who cares if some random person dies, in the grand scheme of the universe, nobody’s life matters.

More specifically, fursuits. Yes, really. I believe its the same reason so many people are afraid of clowns. The fact that you can’t see their real face triggers an uncanny valley effect. Even extends to school mascots. Saw one walking down the hall and I immediately turned around. (Though oddly enough, I’m fine with clowns.)
Also used to be afraid of the possibility of telepaths. Now, obviously, I didn’t actually believe there are people with mind powers among us, but the primal part of my brain was disturbed by the concept of having my private thoughts invaded.
Oh, and Jupiter. That planet freaks me out, man. It’s the only one that has its own Eye of Sauron starring back.

Yep. I know it’s a community like any other but I can’t get over that small minority of them. I know that it’s not true of them all but furies are just creepy.

Things that disturb me:
People who casually take ideas or worldviews completely out of context for analysis, then treat their “findings” as truth.
Most anime art styles.
All the casual sexualization associated with said art styles.
The fact that people make fanfics that exist merely for “shipping” characters, often in ways that invoke utter disgust when I hear of it.
The idea that alternate dimensions could exist, but not in the way that many scientists believe. Think of the idea that Heaven and Hell are actually parallel universes to our own. Look at biblical descriptions of such. You get the idea.
The event of a guy dressed as Deadpool giving free lunch to kids at the local school during lockdown.
Kids movies made for political purposes.
People who write Sci-fi only for it to be misinterpreted by the reviewers as something nasty and vile, despite characters being aliens and probably not having a similar culture to humans.
The fools who write literary analysis. Most of them just try to destroy any sense in the book, and replace it with nihilism and madness. Or at least ascribing false motives to the author.
The game designers who apparently cannot design realistic female characters without numerous problems that come dangerously close to sexism, then blatantly get away with it. And the game reviewers who are complicit in the promotion of such games.
And that’s not even the beginning…

True! Peas disturb me all the time, but if I disturb them back I get arrested.

the constant passing of time
as time passes you get older, and eventually you will die and you only have so many years in your life, comprised of months, comprised of weeks, comprised of days, comprised of hours, comprised of minutes comprised of seconds.

Well I mean, without time, what is the purpose of life? If you have infinite time to do things, you’ll never actually do anything because why would you? The passing of time makes it so that we need to get things done and eventually do things with our life because we either get them done while we can or they never get done. In my eyes, death gives life meaning, and vice versa.
man my views have changed

y’all it’s 2:00 am here and this can only mean one thing:
IT’S PHILOSOPHY TIME
i think that our existance has no significance to the universe so there really isn’t any reason to do anything other than what we want to do and what we are forced to do by society existing
also just to stay on topic i find the uncertainty of what happens after death that truly terrifies me. like we can’t really know what happens after we die. does everything just stop? maybe one of the various religons got it right, maybe something else entirely. uncertainty is truly terrifying

While our existence, in the grand scheme of things, is pointless, that doesn’t mean that we can’t do anything meaningful in our lives. No matter how small, we can do something or change something that makes existence better for everyone around us and ourselves. In my eyes, to impact the world, even in a small way, is the reason we exist.

What disturbs me is that Popular Mechanics has published several articles recently that don’t address their own findings, and instead purport to address such issues as “2+2=5”, aka incorrect rounding of decimals; and measuring the concept of reality with a scientific quantum mechanics experiment, which didn’t provide any results that would answer the question.
Thus, they wasted space with tabloid headlines to get you to read such tripe.
