    The idea of lobotomies.
    Just being trapped in a shell of who you once were, for the remainder of your life… Bloody hell, what a horrible part of history.

    unit 731 (seriously, genuinely, don’t look it up if you’re unfamiliar, it’s beyond nightmare fuel the kinds of torture imperial japan committed and got away with)

        I told you not to! I haven’t even read most of it. I once read part of someone’s really horrific account and at some point BAM, instant mental block.

    Becoming a quadriplegic or suffering from “locked in” syndrome, where I can no longer move anything myself, cannot feed myself or use the toilet, etc, just laying there, 100% dependent on other people for everything. I’d rather be dead, thanks.

    Bears. They don’t kill you right away, they just crush your face and start gobbling at your gutty works. Sometimes they leave for a bit to digest while you’re still not dead and come back to finish their meal later.

    There are existential horrors and real life scenarios that are probably worse than death, but bears still take the cake for me.

    In terms of anything that does not include something related to death or torture its probably having an operation on your eye while being conscious. I know someone who had to get surgery on his eye and could see while two doctors were doing stuff on his eye. Even just hearing this scared the living shit out of me.

          Sounds like a great place for meditation.

          Pedantic thought experiment side note that is ironically long for a side note:

          How is it a void if it contains the ecosystems and consciousness(ess? (Gut biome and the various microscopic skin mites, etc)) of a human body?

          That’s a fuck ton of biology, physics, chemistry, philosophy, etc for a space where nothing is supposed to be. Does time also exist there? Because if it didn’t you couldn’t be aware of your self in there, so that would be a problem solved.

          If time does exist in this void though, by entering the void you will have changed its nature, it will stop being a void and it starts just being more of you. …And if you still can’t feel anything, I think this is called depression.

            let’s go with entropy exists as we know it, gravity is welcoming to a human body but there is no ground. no up or down. the arrow of time is what we know it as. it’s just an endless void where any action you take doesn’t affect your environment and the environment doesn’t affect you. lol not depression, thinking in terms of horror

              You’d have about 3 days of quiet contemplation before the dehydration will kill you.

              Considering how horrifying the thought of a void is for you, at least you won’t be stuck in there for very long.

    Being given an anesthetic that should put you out for an operation but only immobilizes you and you remain cognizant thru out the operation feeling everything being done.

    Kinda happened to me in middle school when I broke my arm and they gave me anesthetics to knock me out so they could re-set my ulna and radius but half way thru i wake up to my arm in 5 Chinese finger trap-like device to hold my arm up and a strap across my bicep with weights on it weighing my arm down and 2 doctor’s trying to push my bones back in line.

      I woke up getting my wisdom teeth out. They were at the “hammer and chisel to break them down into chunks” part. I could see, I could smell, and I could feel the thud, thud, thud, and the little bits of tooth land on my tongue. They’re was NO pain whatsoever, but it was an extremely freaky experience.

      I thought I had dreamt it before realizing 1. you don’t dream on anesthesia and 2. They showed me my chiseled out teeth

      Damn. I’m deathly scared of the opposite. General anesthetic. I have the worst memory of being put to sleep forcefully, like I was dying. I’d rather stay awake

        I only had one operation in my life and had to get a general anesthetic. It was pretty funny to count down from 10 and not even making it to 7. Probably the closest thing to dying i guess. Now you’re here, now you’re gone. But i woke up too early, but thankfully they were done. I spooked them because i was talking gibberish while still in the operation room.

    On the smaller scale it’s probably my wife and dog dying, in the larger scheme of things it’s the rise of fascism here in Germany and Europe.
