Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Is there a phobia for what I'm seeing, because I think I have it.

[–] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's related to trypophobia, which is fear of patterns of holes and bumps. It's tied into your ability to perceive disease and the disgust is your body's avoidance mechanism so you don't go near.

There is a singular image of a plant so that link shouldnt be too triggering as it doesn't show images of comparable flesh (at least on mobile).

Dude for real. This disturbs me for the life of this tree.

I know right? I can't quite put my finger on why, but it gives me "Fault of Amigara" vibes

That doesn't seem to be healthy for the tree at all.
