Carbon Monoxide?
|
No. That makes you choke. Choking doesn't feel very good. At least not to me.
Or wait, were you giving an example of poisonous gas? |
It will kill you, but you do not notice it happening. It is colourless and tasteless, it bonds to your haemoglobin much more effectively that oxygen, essentially permanently, reducing your ability to transport oxygen, and you pass out and die. Only 5% of your haemoglobin needs to become carboxyhaemoglobin to be fatal.
|
Carbon dioxide is what can be used to peacefully die-at least in some
terms. Basically, you just fall into a fatal sleep, too. EDIT: What kind of person is afraid of hand-drawn anime. Sure some people are uneasy around clown-real or dolls- because of their cheesy grin. But cartoons... |
No, not the anime, but myself when I get really hooked on it.
|
Personally, I might like add, BM, that if I wanted to kill myself by choking
on carbon monoxide (seeing as suicide is right around the #1 reason for teenager casualties), my air conditioner has plenty of dusty, unused holes for apparently wire connections perfect for sticking your to mouth and drawing in nice relaxing breaths. Scrab Queen, I really don't understand why you might be thinking those type of things, but then again, we all don't understand each other on this forum. |
Well we could either
A) not understand eachother at all B) understand eachother too well... C).....well I've only got the two. But I actually think there is a small amount of understanding. And as a side note, these are phobias. Not everyone has one, and not too many people in one area have the same phobias. It is really hard to completely understand another's phobias because we have no fear of the thing ourselves, so we don't know what exactly scares them or how it scares them.

That girl from the Exorcist.
It all started about two years ago when I was on a flash colour blind test on the internet. I did about seven numbers, then one came up that wasn't a number at all. It was a picture of a boat. I typed thirty seven in and there was a sound of a scream as the girl from the Exorcist popped up with knives in her head and her mouth opening and closing. I rand downstaris screaming and didn't go on the internet again for about half a year. And today, I was watching this wonderful, frankly, fascinating clip on youtube, of this guy, who took a photo of himself every day for god know's how long. It flicked through all the photo's he'd taken of himself, seeing him change throughout the years, really fast, and at the end The girl from the Excorcist popped up instead of the man taking his photo's. T_T. This time I didn't go off screaming, I just jumped out of my skin and hit the back button on firefox. Edit: Before someone goes 'you mean this girl' and posts an image of her, I'm not scarred of her picture. I'm just scarred of things that pop up with her on (Animated Gif's are crap cause they have no sound so don't even bother) |
I remembers those pranks. Funny, but not when you've seen them already.
"You gotta look to this picture, and then you'll see something cool!" Yeah right :P. |
clowns...god i hate clowns...
|
Clowns seem to really scare some people.
A lot of the people I know say that they are afraid of clowns after they saw "It". I watched it and I was laughing my head off because it was so stupid. Another phobia I have is the fear of not knowing. Say you are in a mansion with only a candle and there are paintings, weird paintings of people, that are hung all over the mansion and no one is with you.... yeah. to me that would be very creepy. |
i saw "it" with a couple of friends this halloween. pretty good until the ending with the papier mache-spider ruining everything and killing the poor virgin. Directors are´nt supposed to show the monster like that, i´m not a very big fan of epic end-battles(as long as we´re talking movies):)
yeah, paranoia is pretty common. anyone hypochondric? |
Being alone. I hate it.
And being downstairs when it's dark and quiet outside... My imagination runs away with me. ^_^;; I guess I'm gonna agree with Rob as weel, by saying that drowning has to be the worst way to die. I'd rather fall to my death then drown or burn. - Rexy |

hmm, fuzzle guy, it sounds like one of those sabotage cards from liquid generation... they have you doing these tests like the optical illusion one and what's wrong with the picture games, and then out of nowhere this really scary image comes jumping at you with a blood curdling scream. I couldn't go there for weeks...
|
I think I might be obsessive compulsive too. I seem to do that crap and i've thought about it. When your whole family is screwed up one way or the other I have to have something.
Edit: I don't think parasites is a WIERD fear, but a rational one. I am also afraid of small mammals. Like hamsters. They bite hard. Anglophobia- Fear of England or English culture, etc. That is a real fear. That cracks me up. |
Saying that xyz is a wierd fear is a silly opinion. There are 6.5 billion people on this planet (according to max, at least) so, chances are, there's a person somewhere who is afraid of anything and everying.
Just like how there's someone, somewhere, who's got a fetish about every thing you may mention. I recommend staying in your house, bricking up your front door and never touching the internet. |

....That's why I make it a point never to watch horror movies. I'm not afraid of clowns, but I do think they're pretty obsolete...And plus about 3 months ago John & Jeff (a radio show I listen to) served up this solid idea that over 60% of clowns are paedophiles. That’s the only reason for me to be uneasy around them that I can find…. |
I can't stand spiders, seriously, I think I have arachnaphoebia(sp?)
I feel them crawling all over me when I go to bed, even though they aren't. I don't mind bees, it's just wasps, has anyone noticed that they attack you for no reason? My mum stood on one when she was little, apparently she hit the ceiling lol. My sister has a phobia of feet, its mega funny, she hates mine. |

But the Santa Clause people Are usually clowns in some way...
and drunk people. |
They usually turn out to be hobos, and need some spare cash, POWER TO THE ST NICK HOBOS!
|
Jordan_Boi. If you were a hobo, would you go around dressed up as a mall Santa Claus?

As for my fear, I have a fear of wrongfully being accused of insanity, being taken to an asylum, and spending the rest of my life there because no one will believe me when I tell them that I'm not insane (since every insane person supposedly says that :p). I have no clue why, though. It just kinda entered my mind one day. |
Did you know 50 % of all the Alcars in the world are Pedophiles?
Don't worry children, this forums Alcar belongs to the other 50%. 10 points for me! Yay! |
While were on the subject of perverts, I wonder what % of Emma Watson fans are ephebophiles? Probably 30% at the least.
|
emma watson is hot, and she´s also 16-17. don´t feel like pedofiles for admiring her beauty.
|
I wasn't talking about pedos. I was talking about ephebophiles, adults attracted to teenagers (Like Mark Foley). Since a fair bit of Emma's fanbase are adults, and since she seems to be admired in many ways by her fans, I was wondering what percentage of Emma fans were actually ephebophiles.
EDIT: Besides, I prefer Yaddle. |
What the hell is Yabble?
...Anyway, I'm sure you meant to say sexually attracted to children, Super Munch. |
|
yeah, yabble does indeed put one´s pants on fire. but she´s also 477 years old, what kind of "...phile" does that make you?
|
Ugh, man, how many Wiki sections are there?
(Let's see: Wikipedia, Uncyclopedia, WikiHow, and now Wookieepedia.) |
I'm begining to fear the whole internet take over of the Wiki's...:(
|
Uncyclopedia is for web n00bs who like writing crap that doesn't make sense and/or can be offensive. But I trust Wikipedia.
|
Yes. wikipedia I trust, but the branch off's (that aren't related to wikipedia) are a little... intelligence lacking.
|
Well, WikiHow is sort of okay. I mean they tell you how to run up a wall or climb a tree with branches very high up or yo shimmy a rope. But at least whoever writes that stuff has to good sense to warn you about some things and to have a spotter to help or catch you if you wipe out and fall.
EDIT: Try it out if you want: http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page |
Remember how Lord Vulcher used to prattle our ears off about Uncyclopedia (or was it someone else)?
Somehow this conversation drifted from "Weird Phobias you have" to "Weird Philias you have (is that even a word)"... |
