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.

Unfortunately some sort of awful thing is about to take place. There are plans to make a monorail to this, from the entry of the national park. Srsly what bribing took place too allow this!?

    The colours and clarity suggest this is a chunk of glacier than has been pushed up on a beach rather than a frozen wave. Flash freezing produces white ice. Long slow pressure produces blue ice.

    In mountaineering, you often start climbing at 2-4am so the snow is hard and easier to climb. (Once it warms up, the snow gets slushy and it's like climbing a sand dune.) If the route your taking is on the west, you can see the mountain's shadow while the sun is rising. For example (not my photos): https://www.summitpost.org/mt-hood-shadow/970338

    I don’t know why in the world you are getting downvoted. The ship might have looked glorious, however, it’s design is now deemed to be faulty. Even the museum website says that the upper works of the hull were too tall and heavy for the small hull that was below the waterline. Thus, even the lightest breeze could cause the ship to heel.

    There's a place in the Pacific Ocean called Point Nemo, it's the farthest point of inaccessibility for humans. People in the ISS are closer to it than anyone on Earth no matter where they are. When spaceships with no people need to come down but can't/don't need to make a proper landing, they are sent to crash there since no person has ever crossed those cooridinates. Some speculate an unknown creature lives in the area.

    Often sinkholes are formed when underground caves in the limestone strata collapse, and the debris cascading in gives them a bowl like shape.

    I was unprepared for how oppressive the visual weight of the Rockies are. I don’t know, maybe I had “sound of music” expectations, but what I found was impenetrable enclosed space with casting long shadows from gargantuan walls of rock. Beautiful, yes. Also completely unnerving. I had a moment where it was hard to catch my breath.

    FYI: Big Brutus is an electric coal shovel. A three man crew ran Big Brutus with the support of electricians and roller operators. The coal shovel ran 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, from 1963 until 1974 at a speed of .22 miles per hour (less than 1/4 mile per hour) and moved approximately one square mile per year. Big Brutus did not dig coal. The huge bucket removed the overburden (dirt and rocks covering the coal seams) and with one scoop could fill three railroad cars. Huge coal strippers moved in on the coal seams after Big Brutus exposed them.

    Clydesdales were used by Budweiser for a long time in their advertising campaigns, to pull sleighs, be in parades, and show up at events. I remember seeing them many times over the years. They were insanely gorgeous animals and larger than life.

And I noticed that no one is seeing the art work. Note I am in front and my family is still farther back. I turned suddenly to see 3 huge men there. Freaked out came running to my parents shouting and everyone around was looking at me, note - there was a huge statue of a man before these 3 status. And these were soo real even the water in the waterline was real like just a huge man sitting there.......... A beautifully embarrassing memory to cherish and laugh.

    I was on a pier in San Simeon, CA and there was a whale in the bay. It was a BABY blue whale and it was longer than the pier, just massive. His mom was waiting outside the bay because it was too shallow for her. The people who work at the aquarium on site said it was common for moms to have their babies come into the bay and play. I was just blown away. It was a BABY!

    3 years ago (edited) Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    No. A blue wale can grow up to five times the size of a Megalodon. Scientists guess that even the biggest Megalodon only reached a mere 58 feet (18 meters) (though some argue it was up to 82 feet [25 meters]). By contrast, the largest blue whales clock in at a little more than 100 feet (30 meters) long, and on average are between 75-90 feet (23-27 meters) in length. The blue wale is the biggest animal ever to have lived on earth, even bigger than land animals like some dinosaurs. Movies like Meg (2018) decive the public by inflating the size of the Megalodon to make it scarier.

    The whole world used to be like this. There are accounts from early colonizers in what is now the United States, talking about rivers just silver with fish; you hardly had to work to pull one out. Flocks of birds so massive they darkened the sky. So many buffalo and bison that you couldn't count them. Humans have destroyed so much. And for reference - humanity has wiped out 60% of animal populations since 1970. It was already bad before then; it's getting so much worse.

    They wouldn’t have had a battery for those hours. This was pre-programmed beforehand. And they just flew after the launch to a predetermined position.

    Heck, we did a cruise in the '70s that would look like a yacht with a buffet these days, but it was pure heaven to teenaged me. It actually had two pools, one indoor and one on the outdoor deck, can you begin to imagine the decadence?! And I well recall the 24-hour cinema (I saw "Yellow Submarine" and "The Railway Children" multiple times) with red plush seats and everything. Magical.

    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.

    This could just be a wave. If it doesn't break, it'll only lift the boat and let it down again with no harm done. A tsunami can be of any height - it can be only 1 m tall, but still be a tsunami. Because the difference between waves and tsunamis is that the wave travels on the surface, while tsunami travels throughout the whole depth (of the ocean, where it started), so it moves way more water and has way more energy.

    It was built for the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition of 1905. It used hundred of old growth trees from the area, including 54 hand-selected, 6-foot diameter, unpeeled Douglas Fir tree trunks supporting a two-story central colonnade. It featured exhibits about the logging industry, local flora and fauna and Native American artifacts. After the Expo, it was purchased by the city and left in a state of disrepair for about 50 years. It was finally refurbished in the late 50s/early 60s, but the outdated electrical wiring started a fire and burned it to the ground in 1964.

    That it was built in the first place doesn't bother me as even trees that live to a great age die eventually. What does bother me is that it wasn't put to good use afterwards and when it was finally refurbished they didn't do anything about updating the original wiring. Just goes to show how often stupid people get into power.

    Galileo was not tortured. He was sentenced to praying the rosary. For basically writing, "Here's what idiot says." The Church had not initially condemned Galileo's writings, but stated that they could not be published as fact, so long as its objections were unexplained. The Church's objections, while ultimately untrue, were valid: Galileo could not account for the lack of parallax. The ultimate explanation was far more astounding: that the stars were so massive and so far away that the parallax was far too small to detect. And geocentrism is correct for a still more astounding reason: special relativity means that wherever you are is the very center of the universe,... which is remarkably close to what a century earlier had been published as Catholic faith: that the universe is so unimaginable large that any given point is the center of the universe.

    I used to work at Sea World, and one thing they did was separate calves from their moms sending the babies to their Ohio park. There were huge protests, YAY, and my husband was on the security team that was to move the baby. I called all the local tv stations to alert them of the impending move . Unfortunately, it still happened. But so did a lot of very negative publicity. And my divorce. I will give credit to them for the rescues and releases they do.

The lyrics say "you know they call them killer whales, but you seem surprised when they pin you down to the bottom of the tank, where you can't turn around and took half your leg, filled both your lungs. When I craved, I ate hearts of sharks." I love her music so much!!

    I have visited Chongqing, it definitely had a dystopian feeling to it. No need for sunscreen, because we never saw the sun. It was blocked by the buildings or the smog. And in the evenings, you'd blow your nose, and it was all black...

    Do people not really know how Mecca works and why there’s a need for tens of thousands of hotel rooms all at once? r/nextfuckinglevel just shows a video taken today with over 500,000 people circling the great mosque. There’s a serious accommodation shortage there. Imagine if every Christian was required to go to Jerusalem at least once in their lives, many preferring to go as often as possible and many wanting to go on high holy days. You can bet there’d be hotels as nearly as big and a dedicated airport just for the pilgrimage.

    Call me crazy, but I don't really want to stay in a hotel with thousands of other people - especially if I were paying what is likely to be quite the handful of shekels for the privilege. I get this is a thing Muslims to travel to Mecca and have room to stay (if they can afford it - doesn't look cheap) but it would be my idea of a nightmare being anywhere with thousands of people. I want to stay in a tiny hotel in the middle of nowhere and enjoy silence

    I wish I could remember the show, but the group was studying orangs, and had built a hut to film from inside. They also built a realistic orang sawing a piece of wood. They were curious to see if any others would attempt that skill. They did. She picked up the saw, mimicked the movements, got tired, lay down and carried on. It was amazing.

    It’s a CG rendition of a real comet, 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, superimposed over a city. The comet is 4.3 x 4.1km. NASA sent a probe there in 2016, studied with a controlled impact of the probe, which still sits on the surface.

    We used to live near a harbour town that was close to windfarms so the parts would be delivered by ship. The blades alone are so enormous that to transport one from the town harbour to the windfarm meant the roads needed to be closed while they did that. There was a closer harbour but the blades wouldn't fit down the streets once unloaded. They are huge!

    I had a neighbor that did this job. She had to climb a ladder inside the turbine to get to the top, rest, then do the work connecting wiring and installing computer parts. She then had to make her way down the ladder. She said the worst part about the job..no bathroom up there. She got paid very handsomely for her work though.

    It seems it is just a project and it hasn't been built. "Another of the designs for twin tower skyscraper known as The Cloud unveiled and quickly scrapped in 2011 caused a controversy over a similarity to "the World Trade Center buildings exploding as they were hit by planes on 9/11" "In subsequent years, a growing number of companies, such as Samsung, have pulled out of the project.[3] The project has been finally cancelled in April 2013."

    I would say this was probably a sail rather than a flag, if it was actually mounted on a ship. Warships of the time ranged somewhere in the vicinity of 150 ft. long with main masts ranging near 200 ft. Whatever this is, it looks to be about 50 ft. on the long edge. I doubt main mast real estate would have been used for a flag when it would provide no prime power and would definitely hinder mobility of the ship.

    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!!!"

    Remember seeing that when I worked in Romania around 2000. Upkeep for the building was difficult, and there were packs of dogs around it which used to belong to people who lived there and were relocated. One story I heard was that Mrs Ceaucescu asked for a large ceiling which had natural light, but it couldn't be built at the time so they did it with lighting effects and she never noticed. Romania is a lovely country and well worth a visit.

I thought the waffling structure was for wave break purposes, but it looks like it was primarily there for thermal expansion/contraction that occurs when loading and unloading.

    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.

    There are plausible suggestions that the CIA was promoting belief in UFOs to cover up experimental aircraft. When the USSR did a year long study of UFOs they found almost all the sightings were their own aircraft or missile tests.

    The book is called "The Titanic Conspiracy". I have it, and it's actually a great historical resource. I think the 'conspiracy' is mentioned once at the beginning of the book, and in a few paragraphs at the end. The rest of the book is an historical account of the sinking and the two inquests. Very useful for people actually interested in the Titanic history and not just the movie.

    It's not in Warrington, it's in a town called St.Helens. it was built on the site of an old coal mine which when closed was turned into a "wilderness" type of space. There are lots of plaques commemorating the miners and "The Dream" overlooks the whole space, dreaming of the future. I know this because I live there and go for lovely walks there with my family x

    I think they're pretty, like weird alien flowers. The only problem is that this kind is outdated, now. The long arms can get damaged in high winds, and can cause death to birds. There are better kinds that are helical and more structurally sound. There are even fully enclosed ones small enough for people to put in their backyards. Those use a bunch of small blades on a horizontal ring, which means wind can cause it to spin from any direction without the whole structure needing to turn. Fewer moving parts means more stability in the long run.

    There are a lot of turbines in California. When they first showed up a few decades ago, I could not comprehend the people who vehemently hated them. They’re pretty neat in person and obviously way better for the environment. The only valid complaint I’ve ever heard was about encroaching on nature. As if the alternatives are super eco-friendly or something.

    Solar panels are the ultimate way to go, the newest ones even let you produce energy at night. Wind turbines aren't that nice to look at and the blades are composed of poisonous materials, also may harm birds. Any road that isn't a tunnel can be covered with solar panels which gives you tons of benefits, like no snowy roads, dry roads, cooler raods which lowers the weardown of tyres, being able to charge electric cars and trucks while they're driving. Next you cover rivers in hot areas with solar panels to reduce the evaporation so you keep more waters in the rivers and can use it. Then you cover every roof of the world with solar panels, and build one or two nuclear power plants for the whole world to cover fluctuating powerlevels.
