75 Images Of Insanely Huge Things To Awaken Some Hidden Fears In Us With Just Watching Them
When I stood underneath the Eiffel Tower and looked up at the massive structure, the only thing I could think of was how it would feel if all that iron came crashing down on me. But sometimes, when you feel like a tiny speck of dust in front of something gigantic, destructive thoughts can’t be stopped.
Or it’s just your megalophobia finally showing itself. This fear of huge objects might not be common, but it is very real. When netizens shared images of ginormous things that give them the heebie-jeebies, we compiled them for you. As you go through these terrifying pictures, you might also discover whether you have megalophobia or not!

Iceberg Passing By House In Greenland

If much of the iceberg is underwater, that house must be near a pretty deep area. I always think of houses as being on a slope with a beach and such. It's just a good wake-up call for my brain to remember that sometimes you can be situated directly next to deep water.

"It is a question of discipline," the little prince said to me later on. "When you've finished your own toilet in the morning, then it is time to attend to the toilet of your planet, just so, with the greatest care. You must see to it that you pull up regularly all the baobabs, at the very first moment when they can be distinguished from the rosebushes which they resemble so closely in their earliest youth. It is very tedious work," the little prince added, "but very easy." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Of A Door
Multa Nocte (she/her 8647) 1 month ago
“The Doors of the Roman Pantheon are the main entrance bronze doors to the rotunda of the Roman Pantheon. As a monument of applied arts, the exact date of their creation has remained open to speculation for centuries, with scholars attempting to determine the age of the doors and whether they are contemporaneous with the Pantheon.” and “The doors, measuring 4.45 metres (14.6 ft) wide and 7.53 metres (24.7 ft) high, consist of two leaves. The panels and lintels of the doors are made of cast bronze. Each leaf pivots on pins installed in the floor at the bottom and in the architrave at the top. The doors, in form and detail, resemble the ancient bronze doors of Rome, such as those in the Temple of Romulus and the Curia Julia.” <- Wiki Diki

M1 Tower, Mississauga
Elladine DesIsles 1 month ago
The twin M2 tower is actually 2m taller (199 vs 201m), and both are now surpassed by the M3 tower in the same development (M City Condominiums), which is not yet complete but recently topped-off at 260m, becoming the tallest building in Canada outside (though not very far outside) of the City of Toronto proper. The M3, however, does not share the disconcerting undulating structure of the first two. Five more buildings are either under construction or planned for the site, but the tallest of those is intended to reach 216m.

This Lng Carrier
Multa Nocte (she/her 8647) 1 month ago
“An LNG carrier is a tank ship designed for transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG). It is designed to transport LNG at cryogenic temperatures of around -162°C (-260°F). These vessels use heavily insulated containment systems, with membrane or spherical tanks, to keep gas in liquid form, reducing its volume 600 times. This enables safe, efficient sea transport from liquefaction plants to import terminals, especially between locations not connected by pipelines, such as supplying Asia and Europe from gas-producing regions.” <— Wiki Diki

The Ss Morro Castle - A Burning Ghost Ship Washed Up On The Shore
Multa Nocte (she/her 8647) 1 month ago
From the original page - “It's not a true 'ghost ship', as it was fully manned until it caught fire, and then evacuated, where it drifted ashore. Unrelated but weird, the Captain had just died shortly before the incident. He complained of a stomach, went to his room, and was found d**d. The First Officer became the acting captain, and then later that day, the fire started. 137 people died, mostly because the evacuation was bungled so badly. From the reports, the distress signal was delayed until almost too late, and basically little to no effort was made to either contain the fire, or direct passengers to the lifeboats or show them how to use life vests.”

I hate this new format BP is using. At least 4 comments I have written have disappeared and writing a comment is difficult because everything disappears to the left after a few words. BP, can't you test some of these changes out before you let everything crash like this? Or at least forewarn us that the site will be hell for several weeks while you tinker with changes like the last time you did this?
