why oh why did you do this.

also why oh why did i look.

i'm fine with the inorganic ones, though, or at least not physiologically distressed.

Oh man I feel like I'm at least partially responsible for this thread existing and would just like to say I AM SO SORRY!

ENBB, Wednesday, 22 December 2010 14:12 (fifteen years ago)

Also, things like that building or the art don't bother me at all. This really only gets to me when it's things in the natural world. That tree trunk Grady posted is awful.

Oh wait, exactly.

that fucking tree is killing me

Yeah, it's HORRIBLE, right?

ENBB, Wednesday, 22 December 2010 14:15 (fifteen years ago)

totally have the creepy crawlies again

The only organic example of this that doesn't really bother me are honeycombs. I'm fine with those but apparently they're really problematic for some people.

ENBB, Wednesday, 22 December 2010 14:17 (fifteen years ago)

well that fear of bologna thing is because those speckles in your bologna are bone.

One of the weirdest things about it is that even though this is very much a thing for me, I can't not open this thread when I notice it's been updated.

ENBB, Wednesday, 22 December 2010 16:08 (fifteen years ago)

chase no face is an emissary of tolerance for disfigured ppl everywhere

Є|Э (Edward III), Wednesday, 22 December 2010 16:10 (fifteen years ago)

jesus christ, I have images off and have not clicked on any of these pics and my skin is STILL crawling

urgh

the entire concept of "lotus breast" in connection to this thread terrifies me

Indolence Mission (DJP), Wednesday, 22 December 2010 16:10 (fifteen years ago)

Oh yeah, that cat needs to not exist. Or I need to not be aware of it, one or the other.

Ha, I saw that yesterday and was going to post it but since all fb image links go away in a week or so I didn't bother.

nickn, Tuesday, 18 July 2023 17:04 (two years ago)

Yeah, I tried to find the source image to no avail. I found it disturbing enough to share anyway. Enjoy it while you can!

I don't know what's going on here, but the poster seems to think it's a good luck thing (high-rise building with lots of satellite dishes on it).

it's interesting to me that the tryp- of trypophobia (Ancient Greek τρῦπα [trûpa, “hole”]) doesn't have anything to do with the greatest/grossest hole-y substance of all time, tripe (which has an unknown origin but may be Arabic or Old Norse).

budo jeru, Thursday, 16 January 2025 23:19 (eleven months ago)

i never looked into it until now, but had always assumed it meant "fear of tripe-like substances"

budo jeru, Thursday, 16 January 2025 23:20 (eleven months ago)

i don't think i'm afraid of a bunch of holes as much as i am disgusted by the notion of something infesting your skin? that seems different. altho i haven't read the thread and probably won't be

budo jeru, Thursday, 16 January 2025 23:22 (eleven months ago)

^ I think that's why it's a not uncommon syndrome, people have been afraid of disease for ages, and that's one symptom. Like small pox, measles, etc.

nickn, Thursday, 16 January 2025 23:25 (eleven months ago)

yeah. i tried doing a little research into it but was surprised i couldn't find anybody saying what you said, which seems like the obvious explanation. on the other hand, i'm dissuaded from digging too deeply into it because the internet is filled with unpleasant things and i don't want to fill my head with them
