50 Massive Things That Are A Big ‘I’m Outta Here’ For People With Megalophobia (New Pics)
From nomophobia, an irrational fear of being without a mobile phone, to xanthophobia, a fear of the color yellow, countless phobias exist out there. Now this time, we’re delving into the mind of megalophobes, people who are in fear of anything large, like skyscrapers and jumbo jets.
In fact, there’s a whole corner of Reddit dedicated to sharing examples of this phobia known as megalophobia. “A place to post images of all things large, particularly ones that are 'triggers' for those with megalophobia,” the group’s description states.
Below we rolled up some of the most interesting examples shared on the group, so scroll down. Also, when you’re done reading this one, make sure to check out part 1 of the article.

Comet Compared To Los Angeles
Pixie 3 years ago
The comet in this picture is Churyumov–Gerasimenko, that was the destination of the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission (launched 2004). Rosetta rendezvoused with Churyumov–Gerasimenko in August 2014 and entered orbit in September 2014. Rosetta's lander, Philae, landed on the comet's surface on 12 November 2014, becoming the first spacecraft to land on a comet. On 30 September 2016, the Rosetta spacecraft ended its mission by landing on the comet in its Ma'at region. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/67P/Churyumov%E2%80%93Gerasimenko

FYI this is not a tsunami. Tsunamis look absolutely nothing like this.
Sara Almeida 3 years ago
Because that is a road some meters over the beach. The perspective of the picture looks like an abyss but it is not. That is actually quite close to houses and businesses but the waves go so high that sometimes it is impossible to see the constructions around because they are trying to focus on the surfer or the wave.

Warner Von Braun Next To The Engines Of The Saturn V Rocket Used For The Apollo Lunar Missions
Richard Graham 3 years ago (edited)
Gather round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun, A man whose allegiance, is ruled by expedience. Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown. "Ha, Nazi Schmazi," says Wernher von Braun. Don't say that he's hypocritical, Say rather that he's apolitical. "Once the rockets are up, Who cares where they come down? That's not my department," Says Wernher von Braun. Some have harsh words for this man of renown, But some think our attitude Should be one of gratitude, Like the widows and cripples in old London town, Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun. You too may be a big hero, Once you've learned to count backwards to zero. "In German oder English I know how to count down, Und I'm learning Chinese," says Wernher von Braun. - Tom Lehrer
