I was 9-10 years old when full grown men started creeping on me. My almost 5 year old is more than halfway to the age when the sexual harassment becomes obvious.
It makes me want to burn the world to ash.

You could lose your health at any time and become disabled. Not scary, just unfortunate and sad.
#7
Sleep paralysis combined with hallucinations that you are being watched by a frightening entity is a very real thing experienced by millions of people.
#8
Every day you are getting dozens of cancerous cells. It's just that your immune system is doing a great job to get rid of them. Until it doesn't.
#10
While you're on opioids, your brain stops producing dopamine. When you are experiencing withdrawal, it's because it takes a while for that process to start again. So the intense depression and misery is basically how we would all experience life if our brains weren't constantly doping us up with happy chemicals.
#11
Autistic women are more likely to be R@p3d/SAed.
Might not be as scary as you hoped, but it's scary to me as an autistic woman.
#12
In 200 years no one will remember you, except you do something very awesome… or very bad that puts you in a history book.
#13
Overpopulation, with everything going on (climate change/inflation/diminishing resources), people still encourage reproduction, especially in third world countries.
#15
I don’t know why but thinking about something at the bottom of the ocean like the Titanic gives me the creeps. All that pitch black water.

#17
There's a shortwave radio transmitter based in Russia that has been continuously broadcasting strange, repetitive buzzing sounds, periodically interrupted by spoken Russian, stating names or random numbers. This has been going on continuously since the early 1980s and possibly longer.
#18
That before/as we lose our baby teeth, the permanent ones are already inside our skull. Waiting... Watching...
#19
A non zero number of farmers go missing yearly from pigs. They will eat just about anything.
#20
During the merger of two black holes,a black holes can occasionally get ejected from the system and get shot out into open space and become a wandering black hole, the creepy part for me is that because a large part of the way in which we see black holes is through their interactions with their surroundings we wouldn’t really be able to see it coming towards us.
#21
Snails have teeth.
How many?
15,000 - 25,000
If I remember correctly their teeth are one of the hardest materials on Earth.
#22
How humans and pigs are so weirdly related.
You can use pig pancreas for transplants and to make insulin. You can use more organs of a pig.
But the fact that scares me, terrifies me is...Humans smell like good pork when they burn.
I was in the spot of an accident with high voltage and it burnt my dad's hand...to this day the smell haunts me. My dad was fine, but the smell. The live burnt flesh, in this hue of vicious pink that feels unnatural and charred black. It smelled of smoke, burnt dirt and pork.
I don't eat pork anymore. My dad actually loves eating pork though...so I guess someone is a cannibal :/.
#25
