Isn't that technically that you're afraid of the dark?

[–] DoYouNot@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Somehow both the most and least scary thing on the list...

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 8 points 3 months ago

I was gonna say... It's literally already on there. And you're not afraid of running back you're just..

Eh...

I think it's all but sharks but maybe also sharks

[–] taxet_@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

I guess sort of, but I think of it as being afraid of the darkness itself, or the things that might (or might not be) out there when it gets dark. Like they’re totally connected but still two separate fears, you know?

[–] almost1337@lemm.ee 67 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That's just the dark with extra steps

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 20 points 3 months ago

Very fast steps

I currently have a setup where both AMD and Nvidia simultaneously run on a single computer with Linux. It wasn't too complicated, only took like 10hrs of troubleshooting to run.

[–] dch82@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

You are a Linux master.

I have nothing else to say.

It’s that feeling when you want to headbutt through your keyboard and break your desk in two

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 11 points 3 months ago

It's a race to the bed, as everybody knows monsters can't invade your bed, that's why so many of them live under it

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I...still cannot wrap my head around the fear of death. If you're dead, that's it, done, your warranty is void and all that. What to fear?

I fear consequences of my death - shit people close to me will be put through. But death itself? It's like fearing time. Shit's just there, always was, always will be, touches all of us and nobody can do shit bout it.

there’s a saying in spanish, it’s not the same to call the lion than seeing it coming.

I’ll believe a stage 4 cancer survivor if they say that they don’t fear death, the rest, no so much.

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Fair...though funny you mention cancer. My partner went through that and brushed with death and she has pretty much the same approach as me.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Probably dying is a better thing to fear, as that could be painful or slow. Especially in old age.

I walk slowly to my room in the dark to assert dominance

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Unironically this is what got me to stop being afraid of the dark when I was 11. I just hyped myself up real hard, hit the lights, and intentionally slow-walked back to bed. Show no weakness.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

"Alexa, all lights off."

Now, talk to me about going up the stairs from the basement alone...

Everyone knows that's how the evil clown, ghost, or whatever basement demon living in your house gets you...

Grabs your ankles ands pulls you right back down...

How is the dark the least scary? In the dark, there may be a serial killer shark that looks like a clown

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't think serial killers are scarier than sharks. I can see myself surviving an encounter with a serial killer. I cannot see myself surviving an encounter with a goddamn shark.

[–] JayDee@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Sure you can.

  • Look under the water.
  • oh shit a shark.
  • shark don't give a fuck bout no human, keeps on swimmin.
  • you survived.

You could also survive a serial killer in a similar way.

"Here's your latte, Sir."

But also, you could take a small shark.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

Death is only scary in hindsight, when it finally embraces you you wont want to cling on to whatever this is.

This is a spiritual interpretations and should be understood in an agnostic context.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Lot of cowards in them "statistics."

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 3 months ago

Hasn't been a problem since I sleep with a multifunctional flashlight by my bed.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It looks like some PEZ dispensers (for reference).
