Things That Become Creepy When You Think About Them

[johnnyLupine]

I once heard an idea regarding how teleportation may work, deconstruction unit on the entrance end and a fresh set of atoms for reassembly at the exit. When you think about it if a person was to use on of those devices they would essentially be killing themselves when they step inside and it would be a copy of the person who steps out at the other end.

something similar is in fact happening to us all the time, cells die and new ones are formed to replace them, eventually none of the original cells and most likely atoms will exist within the body therefore I am we are in theory a similar and yet quite different person to who we were ten years or so ago.

I will not admit to watching much anime but will come clean about having watched ghost in the shell a few times back when there was a channel devoted to the stuff in the UK. I?m fairly sure the issue of that cyber brain thing is fairly similar, whether or not they are the same person after having their brain scanned and digitised and whether or not the original is in fact quite dead and a number of copies have been walking around in their place since.

I don't really remember much of the series so I may be wrong, I assume this is where the idea of the soul comes into play? Or some unique essence which makes you you no matter what your made of.

Probably used all the wrong terminology, haven?t watched it or anything similar in around four years. Possibly more.

Lalalala, stop ruining my childhood, lalalala!!!

Wait... you're telling me that part of your childhood was based in a sequel that, until now, I didn't even know existed?

I mean, I'm not the brightest, most attentive bulb in the knife block, but I'd imagine that even I'd have noticed a sequel to one of the most legendary films of this generation!

I think I need to go lay down.

About half of the things we give/show/sing to our kids to keep them entertained.

For example, consider a few of the ole' nursery rhymes:

"Ring Around the Rosy" - is a song about the Black Plague. The disease that resulted in untold millions of deaths.

"Humpty Dumpty" - is very likely a riddle alluding to King Richard the 3rd, and his subsequent fall from grace and death/defeat in battle.

"Jack and Jill" - is about two children falling down a hill and breaking their necks or skulls. (likely fatally)

"Rock a-by Baby" - depicts a child in a bassinet/cradle, suspended in a tree, falling to the ground. (again, likely fatally)

Now, consider some of the things our kids see in TV shows, video games, or even suggested through toys; things we may notice, or get the reference to, but assume they won't; and those shows, games, etc become at least mildly creepy.

Case in point. XD

The citizens of Tamriel are outnumbered 40 to 1 by just bandits. Not to mention daedric horrors and angry animals.

It's a scary place to live.

That someone out there... in Hollywood, thinks Michael Bay makes good movies about treasured childhood toys.

Fear not, yo can put your mind at ease. Nobody in Hollywood thinks that Michael Bay makes good movies; they just think that he makes profitable movies. Still kinda sucks though, when you think about it

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.

Actually, there's two sets of bathrooms on the Crew's Quarters in addition to the bathroom in the Captain's Quarters. On the SR1 however, there were no visible bathrooms whatsoever.

Dunno about the second, but I think someone dying and people eating his entrails is good enough without any additional meaning.
Yep.
Yep.

Unrelated, but still kind of cool, my captcha was dinosaur spaceship

This is true of pretty much anyone living in a western RPG. I mean think about it. Mass Effect. How many people do you encounter in clubs and shops? How many do you encounter/kill as Cerberus operatives or mercinaries? In Borderlands you meet, what, maybe a dozen people who aren't crazed axe-wielding lunatics? Hell, in Borderlands 2 you commit a systematic genocide of the Nomads, who are clearly a distinct cultural/ethnic group with a set of physical characteristics and traditional clothing. The previous Elder Scrolls games and Fallout games are all populated largely by leather-clad psychopaths. In FNV I've racked up kill counts in the thousands. If you added up all the friendly/nonpsycho NPC's in the entire game you wouldn't get as many people as most player characters butcher. Red Faction Guerrilla? 80% of the population is EDF soldiers getting sent home in a box. In STALKER, holy shitballs why have the bandits not just killed everyone? Or left the exclusion zone and toppled all world governments with their literally endless numbers?

Captcha: "I'm sorry"

Damn right you should be. You're a genocidal monster in almost every open-world game you play.

Yeah, I got corrected. I just was too lazy to edit my original post. Though how about that, the original Normandy didn't have any bathrooms. Actually, come to think of it, where were the crew quarters too? There's the command deck with the Galaxy Map and Comm Room, the Crew Deck with the Infirmary, Escape Pods, and Captain's Quarters, and then Engineering, but we never even see any entrances to any other locations and it's impossible that the elevator would go up, because that would just lead back to the Command Deck which doesn't have an elevator hatch. Unless there's something below Engineering and the Mako Bay that we never see, which would quite frankly be horrifying ship design in my opinion.

Yeah, I didn't see that it was pointed out a few times until after I posted.

As for the SR1 and where people sleep, other than Shep's room, near there is a few sleeper pods. Not enough for the whole crew I don't think, so either people share or a bunch of people are sleeping on the floor/the seats they work in.

Aren't those the escape pods, though? At least, that's what I got from the opening of ME2. I mean, I guess technically they probably function as cryosleep pods too, but still... I dunno, I think that qualifies as something that gets creepier the more you think about it. What if a pod launched while someone was asleep in it for the night?

Nah, the escape pods and sleeper pods are on two separate decks. At least that what it looked like anyway in the opening of ME2. You (Shepard) are at the sleeper pods readying the distress signal while the Virmire Survivor/Liara runs off to help the crew into the escape pods that are on a much less fire consumed deck than the one you're on.

Then again, the Mass Effect wiki says it's on the same deck, so what do I know?[footnote]then again, I've clashed several times with one of the admins of the site frequently and have been right for the most part, so this could also be one of those times where I'm right.[/footnote]

Eh, all right, I guess I was just getting confused because we never saw escape pods anywhere outside of that cut-scene.

Maybe the Normandy has some weird space-compression abilities or something.

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

If its coming out of the reproductive bits then it might be a bull. Does your milk taste salty? If so.....its probably not milk........yeahhhhhh.

how do you know how liquid originating from a bull's reproductive organs tastes?

who are you, you disgusting person?

 

[katsabas]

The fact that none of the Powerpuff Girls Trio has a nose.

Also, the Joo Dee zombies from the Last Airbender.

 

[meepop]

Delibird and Spoink. Delibird keeps food in its bag for its young. By capturing it you are effectively killing its babies. And Spoink's heart basically beats whenever it bounces. If you paralyze it, put it to sleep, etc. It will DIE.

How do pokemon reproduce?

Oh wait, they're animals so.......rule34 material.

 

[Terminate421]

There are no bathrooms in any open world RPG's....


Speaking of open world RPG's, there are no children in the world, while you don't notice it much its when you do notice it that it gets creepy.

You know those pots in Skyrim? The ones that are often in a corner? Yeah, those are empty toilets.

Also, children are all Assholes.

 

[Surpheal]

Because there have been quite a few, another post about the Lion King.

By pretty much lion law, when Mufasa dies/ gets killed, and Simba runs away, Scar takes power at Pride rock. And when a new alpha male is chosen, they like to start their reign by starting a new generation of cubs with their genetics. However if a lioness already have a cub, they will not want another. So to fix that, they will kill ANY lion cub from the previous alpha male.

So when Scar took to the lion-throne, he would have killed every last cub that had been born when Mufasa was king.

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.

i think we have a completely different definitions of creepy.
