Trypophilia and Trypophobia: A Picture Thread? (Not exactly NSFW but some deeply disturbing images in here)

lol so my friend that has this way worse than I do and who made me aware of the fact that this was more than just a weird quirk of mine just sent me an email (no subject) with a link that said "VOMIT". I knew immediately that it was something riddled with holes.

this doesn't actually bother me though because it's not something organic. It might, however, freak out some others like it did her:

Actually I just looked at it a bit longer and started to itch. I could just be doing that to myself though idk.

The baby Suriname toads are cute as hell though.

instant neausea

my kid lost a front tooth a couple of days ago, upon close inspection = sorta trypo, even w/out toadlets jumping out.

feel like this thread has lost it's edge somewhat.

that's sort of gross but those aren't holes

disqualified imo

yeah ENBB, but

and that description comes straight from the internet crackpot/hero who invented trypophobia, so it must be legit.

hmpf

very well, carry on then

What the hell is that stuff? It looks like mouldy bacon.

hmpf

very well, carry on then

:)

I think I'll stop for a while. all this GISsing of polyps and spongy tissue is giving me the creeps, and I don't even consider myself a typophope (except w/r/t olive loaf, as I explained upthread).

the moldy bacon stuff is, uh, sections of colons affected with amilial adenomatous polyposis.

yup, im done with this thread.

^he'll be back

clarification- not the mere gap of missing tooth, but the open fleshy socket where primary tooth had been.

You can tell it's CGI though, ruined the film.

Human Dentipede

haha that reminds me of when I got my wisdom teeth out. I had four big holes in my mouth where they used to be. food would get stuck inside and I'd need to use tweezers to fish them out.

but yeah that tongue thing is weaksauce. doesn't even rate on the holey japanese schoolgirl scale.

I seem to have removed the bookmark from this thread a while back! I don't remember doing it, but it was definitely the right thing to do.

Anyway, I saw this and thought of this thread.

never so glad to be a tea drinker.

haha that reminds me of what happened over the weekend

since the campus closed my students and I had to move to the public park to have a consultation

during the consultation one of them is freaking out, I ask her friend what's up, and she says there's a bird that's freaking her out

it's just a normal bird, but it's got this gnarly polka dot pattern thing on its neck that kinda 'shimmers' when its head moves

the student tells me she's really afraid of holes that are too close together

she tells me, "imagine if there were insects living inside those holes!!"

I was like, high five

did you actually hi-five

I don't understand what that body part is. I'd say it's a calf, but the hair is growing the wrong direction.

Watched Cloverfield tonight and thought of this thread.

people, gore and slashes and stuff doesn't really count, that's cool, it happens in real life you know? it's the thought of having a perfectly normal hole in your skin that has an insect living in it that freaks me out.

if Gore and Slashes don't set off your tryp meter, then you must have a strong stomach, son.

oops I mean

(horribly formed "joke", I know)

anyways I don't think the fear of isolated, normal holes really qualifies as trypophobia. clusters are a key part of this.

yeah it's a motherfucking colony of worms in your breast

just eating and shitting and fucking and popping their heads out every so often for a breath of air

k, I think I see your point.

also, yuck.

^GIS result for "thousands of holes". this is what unmedicated trypomania will do to a man; let this be a warning to us all.

"Frank, put the drill down. it's not right."
"don't worry hon, I'm just one hole away from kicking this habit. I got this under control. just...one more. just..."

orrite i've coped pretty well with everything in this thread (including the frog) but that egg, that egg is freaking me out
