Things That Become Creepy When You Think About Them

[username sucks]

Not quite what you meant by this thread I should think, but:
----

A young girl is lying in bed, slowly nodding off to sleep. She hears her mother's voice calling from the kitchen, and begins to make her way down. Suddenly, something reaches out from the closet and drags her in, cupping a hand over her mouth to stifle any cries. In her ear a voice whispers,
"Don't go into the kitchen. I heard it too"
It is her mother.


----
Let it sink in. It grows creepier the more you mull over it.

Doppelgangers are creepy. Thats as far as I got. Could you maybe add something that would make it creepier?

I think the point here is that since the girl was laying on her bed, and her mother dragged her into the closet, the girl's mother was just kind of . . . chilling in the girl's bedroom closet. Which is kind of creepy.

Now you have to wonder if the thing in the closet is really the girl's mother at all, or if the thing in the kitchen is really the girl's mother, or perhaps neither are, although somehow none of those seem as creepy to me as the prospect of the girl's mother just . . . chilling in her daughter's bedroom closet. I suppose she could be hiding from the thing downstairs, but to not even warn her daughter about it with, I dunno, hand signals or something?

Am I over-thinking it? Yes, but that's the point of this thread.

Nope. Nope no no. Too late, I thought about it. Considering I have a recurring nightmare about my own doppleganger, definetly not sleeping tonight.

OP: Try thinking about the existance of existance. Time either goes back eternally, with all matter existing since forever, and had no beginning, or the other option, that everything came into existance when there was absolutely nothing before. However, neither one of those make sense, so it goes against all reason andlogic that existance...exists.
Also, does the universe go on forever? Try thinking about the concept of infinite distance(hint: you can't).

More? Okay, first molecules were considered the building blocks of everything, then atoms, then protons, neutrons, and electons. Logic would make one think that those too are made of smaller parts, and those parts, and the next, adding another inconcievable concept, that there are particles infinitely small that make up everything.

Is it strange that I think of paradoxes in my spare time?

The Magic School Bus as a whole. Episode after episode that demented Miss Frizzle is putting those kids lives in danger! Getting baked into a pie (or was it a cake?), the ginger removing his helmet IN SPACE (probably got suicidal after suffering day after day of Miss Frizzle's child endangering ways), and then this!:

What the fuck.
What the fuck.
What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I can't think of anything else to describe that. X(

OT: There's a bathroom on the Normandy in Mass Effect 2 and 3. The creepier part? There's only one bathroom on the Normandy in Mass Effect 2 and 3. And it's in the Captain's Quarters.

I think there were two bathrooms on the crew deck level in Mass Effect 2. In fact, I remember EDI says something if your Shepard goes into the opposite sex's bathroom.

OT: After finishing the "Party" level in Dishonored, I keep reaching this conclusion:

Spoiler

I opted to do the non-lethal method. This meant I had to knock out the noblewoman and deliver her to a masked man waiting with a boat in the basement. However, before he departs, he mentions something about how she will have to be grateful to him; after all he is saving her life. The it hit me: I just gave an unconscious woman to a potential rapist and let him sail away with her.

Eating snow... Lot's of people do it but... Well...

Snow is formed from evaporated water...
Water comes from the sea...
Drains flush into the sea...
Drains flush out shit, piss and vomit as well as period blood, evidence and wank tissues....

If you have ever eaten snow or got it on your tongue, face, whatever you have been covered in what is essentially semen, blood, piss and hastily destroyed child pornography...

Just think about that for a minute...

If you have ever consumed any type of water ever you have probably consumed particles that once made up some fairly foul things, largely the urine of billions other living things. Most water molecules you drink have at some point been part a significant number of different animal's urine. There is a cross section of all life's urine in every drop you drink.

Doubt bottled water companies will be mentioning that in their ads any time soon.

I realized that the entire thing was sketchy as fuck the moment the guy proposed it.

Spoiler

I mean clearly this is a guy that loves her and isn't loved back, and he wants you to knock her out and deliver her to him. There is nothing unsketchy about that.

'Course, I did it anyways. I was doing it more to be "all nonlethal" than actually "good." After all, none of your targets you deal with nonlethally really end up all that well off. One dies horribly and slowly, two are mute slaves who never learn of the death of their brother (or that he ordered them dead, for that matter), and one is almost certainly being held prisoner by a rapist for the rest of her days.

In retrospect, shooting them with a pistol would probably have just been better for everyone.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic remains the outright creepiest show out there right now. If the way the show is shooting itself in the foot is anything, Equestia is an Autocratic society where Unicorns form the upper, educated class and Earth Ponies and Pegasi are often limited to mundane or dangerous jobs, whether they want to or not. The Fantastic Racism on display could be argued as sloppy writing, but it also means that contrary to fandom's perception, they're not as perfect as they make them out to be. It probably doesn't help that a lot of episodes are really, really fucked up.

In short - when you stop and think about, FiM is a candy coated nightmare dispensing machine, not helped by it's rather dubious writing standards. And that's without talking about the subject at great length.

This! I periodicaly experience that thought and stop drinking milk.
Now I just drink soy milk.

Also eggs. Especially after eating a balut, i often get worried about eggs in many ways.

Wrong @ least about ME2. There are men's and women's bathrooms on the floor where Garrus and Miranda are in addition to the one in Shepard's room.
Though I have not and will not play ME3 so I have no reason to doubt you on it.

Oh shi-!

I forgot about those because I never actually entered either of those two rooms after my first play-through.

They're pretty small considering the crew complement of the Normandy, though.

Not exactly. Water does evaporate from the sea and precipitates on the land, but the sea is salty. Is your rain salty? No. Because the water only, not the soultes, evaporate, so precipitation only has air pollutants in it.

Damn you and your flawless chemistry! I should know that...

But, there was that time it rained Herring and herring don't dissolve... Right?

Some commercials, where animated, livable, obviously sentient food (like talking fish-like snacks) advertise you to eat that food. Not only snacks are presented as actual sentient species you supposed to eat, but above-mentioned talking fish-like snack in ad is basically telling you to eat its own people.
A lot of commercials are creepy, to think about it.

The Snowman is a little bit pedoey, he abducts the boy and takes him to a snowman party which could be a pedo party. Maybe I've uncovered the true events of that story, where the fucks my prize?

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

humanity existence. the more you think of how we managed to survive the sicker it becomes.

...Okay, I'll bite. How is it disturbing?

The reason we survived is because we're so fucking good at killing everything else...Not seeing the fridge horror here...

we come in guns blazing and destroy everything in our path, forcing our belifs onto the world and when there is nowhere else to stampede we slaughter eachother for "Breathing space" (and yes thats a hitler reference). Our existence is to destroy existence of others.

Just because we're better at it than other species doesn't make us 'creepy'. I don't really understand how that's considered creepy.

I guess if you think about organic oils are bit creepy. Ancient dead animals (and plants) as fuel.

Ok, Harley spends all of Arkham City being slapped around, tied up, beaten up etc, and it's fully implied the Joker is... Not the best boyfriend in the Universe.

Now, my question: Was it really a false positive, or did she miscarry?

Professor X and his cult/army of mutant kids.

Seems legit

The milk in my morning cereal. Originating in some dirty farm, coming out of the reproductive bits of a cow.

More than that, try and think how the first dairy farmer found out that milk came from a cow, and how to get it out.

Yep.

The Doctor Who universe. Doctor Who has often tried to be scary, with varying degrees of success. Autons? Not so scary. Weeping angels and gasmask zombies? Shit the bed terrifying. But humanity appears to be under almost constant attack by a variety of beasties, even in the future when man has colonised space. And it's clear that the doctor doesn't save everyone.
