Halloween may be over. But that doesn't mean you won't see some
scary stuff almost every day.
In fact, it's enough to make us ask: what are the scariest things on the planet? With the help of
Reddit, we rounded up the spookiest things you share a planet with!
1
Zombie fungi that crawl into ants' brains and compel them to help them procreate.
2
The fact that you WILL die and that you can't change anything about it
4
Being deeply depressed your whole life
5
The human brain. One very small change in it and you have another Schaefer, Dahmer or Bundy in the streets
7
This condition called fatal familial insomnia. Basically, you get insomnia that progressively worsens until you can't fall asleep anymore and you just die (there's more to it but that's the basics of it).
8
When your child disappears even for a moment.
9
The amount of bullsh*t we see on the news
10
A jelly fish that causes someone to become suicidal
11
Those worms that grow inside your eyeballs rank pretty high up there
13
Sinkholes. Imagine driving along the road and BAM. Bye bye Main St. + everything on it.
14
Caves, the thought of all that rock and ground above me, ready to collapse at any moment. No, thank you
15
Prions - weirdly folded proteins that can't be killed or removed easily and cause other proteins to flip and make holes in your brain. Ever heard of Mad Cow Disease? That's those little motherf*ckers.
16
Chronic nerve pain. It’s like being tortured by your own body constantly, and medicine isn't that good at fixing it.
17
Deep, open ocean; might as well be outer space.
18
Cancer. It does not discriminate. You can have all the money in the world and have access to the best healthcare and it will still take you out. Steve Jobs, Alex Trebeck, just a few sad examples.
19
Pandemics. I lost a loved one. She was careful, always wearing a mask and washing her hands. If only everyone else around us were as careful, she'd be here and I wouldn't cry every day. The scary part is, we knew all about the dangers. And yet to this day, people still cannot accept how real & dangerous this is. What will be the next thing?
20
Tarantula Hawks. Wasps native to South West USA. Don’t get stung by them.
22
Nukes, the fact that the power to completely get rid of almost all life on earth is achievable if only 20 political officials are willing is insane.
23
Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. It really freaks me out a lot.
24
Bioengineered weapons are highly infectious, highly contagious, and have a high mortality rate. Don't fool yourself, biological weapons exist.
25
How easily propaganda works for the majority of people. How we are goose-stepping towards fascism and the majority are not only not against it, but completely for it while being completely clueless what they are supporting.
