91 Images That Capture The Sheer Terror Of Things Being Way Too Big (New Pics)
If something exists, there’s probably someone out there who’s scared of it. Ever heard of trypophobia? This is when someone feels disgust or fear when they see patterns with lots of holes. And what about arachibutyrophobia? The word itself is a mouthful, which is actually quite fitting, as this is the fear of having peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth.
If those are your biggest fears, you’ll probably be fine with this list, pandas. But if you’re terrified of huge objects, you might want to avert your eyes. We took a trip to the Megalophobia subreddit and gathered some of their most unsettling photos below. So good luck getting through these pics of extremely large things, and be sure to upvote the ones that send a shiver down your spine!

Sequoia National Park In California
Peter Bear 3 months ago
I've been there, and it was the most numinous experience of my life. The trees are so big that you lose all sense of perspective and realize how small humans actually are.

Olympus Mons - The Tallest Mountain In The Solar System
Glen Ellyn 3 months ago
It's a large shield volcano on Mars. As measured by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA), it is 21.287 kilometres (69,840 ft) high, about 2.5 times the elevation of Mount Everest above sea level. It last erupted 25 million years ago. It is Mars's tallest volcano, its tallest planetary mountain, and is approximately tied with Rheasilvia on Vesta as the tallest mountain currently discovered in the Solar System. (Vesta is one of the largest objects in the asteroid belt.)

Tallest Statue In Africa
General Anaesthesia 3 months ago
"This is the African Renaissance Monument, a massive bronze statue located in Dakar, Senegal. Standing 52 meters (approx. 170 feet) tall, it is taller than the Statue of Liberty ( 151 feet, 46 meters) and is the tallest statue in Africa. The monument features a man, woman, and child pointing toward the Atlantic Ocean, symbolizing African pride, resilience, and a future beyond colonial struggle. It was inaugurated in 2010 to mark 50 years of Senegal's independence from France."
