People Are Sharing Their Megalophobia Moments, And Here Are 50 Pics That Creeped Them Out (New Pics)
People can be afraid of many things, from darkness to spiders, to you name it. Some of these fears are totally irrational, others come from our childhoods and creep in well into our adult lives. One of such bizarre fears is megalophobia.
Think of large objects like huge cruise ships, animals, skyscrapers, underwater structures, and even statues. Now imagine how’d they look if they were bigger. If the thought of it makes your hair stand on your arm, you may also have some traits of megalophobia.
And this subreddit named r/Megalophobia puts a test on your fear of large objects because it offers one hell of a collection. “A place to post images of all things large, particularly ones that are "triggers" for those with megalophobia,” says their description and 430k devoted members are nodding their heads. Scroll down and upvote the most triggering images below!

Ship Breaking. One Of The Most Dangerous Jobs In The World
Sabs 3 years ago (edited)
It’s usually done in poorer countries such as India and parts of Africa, the job has literally no safety requirements or protection from falls or dismemberment. Bosses buy the ships on contract hiring as many labourers as possible to break down the ship as fast as possible to make profit off the scrap. Most common deaths are falls, getting crushed and asphyxiation from using cutting torches in closed spaces. Most workers get paid Pennies per hour. If the worker survive long enough as a ship breaker they often end up with terrible illnesses from toxic exposure to chemicals or materials.

Sheila Stamey 3 years ago (edited)
I once heard of a real interchange between a C130 and a little ol bitty Cessna 172. The nervous young trainee pilot as instructed, called over the radio, as they both seemed to be heading for the same interchange in taxiways at a huge airport. This was of course monitored by ground control, and they were in charge of it once they stopped laughing. Cessna : (shakily) "C130, what are your intentions? Please declare." C130 : (in a deep southern accent) " I'm gonna eat you!!!"

These are amazing though, they visited Antwerp, Belgium a few times and there's a whole story around it, it's a spectacle of several days and in the end the little girl and the diver find eachother again after walking throught the city. She sleeps on plazas and you can watch her waking up in the morning and doing her daily routine before she moves on to another place. It's from the French artists ' Royale Deluxe' they have a giant elephant as well.

Ever notice that during this time in world history, was when there was A LOT more UFO/Alien activity reported across the entire planet??? No doubt in my mind, they were (and still are) keeping an eye out on the human race, so we didn't ruin this planet by being dumb and wreckless AF. The amount of energy, radiation and other chemicals released in our atmosphere, during all this madness, I'm sure that if they do exist which I believe they do, they detected all the poison that was sent into space afterwards.
