25 of the Scariest Things in the World

1.

Caves, the thought of all that rock and ground above me, ready to collapse at any moment. No, thank you

2.

How easily propaganda works for the majority of people. How we are goose-stepping towards fascism and the majority are not only not against it, but completely for it while being completely clueless what they are supporting.

3.

Bioengineered weapons are highly infectious, highly contagious, and have a high mortality rate. Don't fool yourself, biological weapons exist.

4.

Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. It really freaks me out a lot.

5.

Nukes, the fact that the power to completely get rid of almost all life on earth is achievable if only 20 political officials are willing is insane.

6.

Loneliness.

7.

Tarantula Hawks. Wasps native to South West USA. Don’t get stung by them.

8.

Pandemics. I lost a loved one. She was careful, always wearing a mask and washing her hands. If only everyone else around us were as careful, she'd be here and I wouldn't cry every day. The scary part is, we knew all about the dangers. And yet to this day, people still cannot accept how real & dangerous this is. What will be the next thing?

9.

Cancer. It does not discriminate. You can have all the money in the world and have access to the best healthcare and it will still take you out. Steve Jobs, Alex Trebeck, just a few sad examples.

10.

Deep, open ocean; might as well be outer space.

11.

Chronic nerve pain. It’s like being tortured by your own body constantly, and medicine isn't that good at fixing it.

12.

Prions - weirdly folded proteins that can't be killed or removed easily and cause other proteins to flip and make holes in your brain. Ever heard of Mad Cow Disease? That's those little motherf*ckers.

13.

Zombie fungi that crawl into ants' brains and compel them to help them procreate.

14.

Sinkholes. Imagine driving along the road and BAM. Bye bye Main St. + everything on it.

15.

Rabies

16.

Those worms that grow inside your eyeballs rank pretty high up there

17.

A jelly fish that causes someone to become suicidal

18.

The amount of bullsh*t we see on the news

19.

When your child disappears even for a moment.

20.

This condition called fatal familial insomnia. Basically, you get insomnia that progressively worsens until you can't fall asleep anymore and you just die (there's more to it but that's the basics of it).

21.

Supervolcanoes

22.

The human brain. One very small change in it and you have another Schaefer, Dahmer or Bundy in the streets

23.

Being deeply depressed your whole life

24.

Sleep paralysis

25.

The fact that you WILL die and that you can't change anything about it
