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

OK, buzza, you're welcome to give Maxie his insulin injections twice a day if you're his mom!

i'm his dad

It's being said that trypophobia is not really a phobia, which means "irrational fear", but being disgusted when seeing images such as holes, clusters and patterns.

Be nice, folks, cuz I've got lots more disgusting pictures to post .... heheheheh

WP: Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. See http://www.geocities.com/holephobia/trypophobia.html for someone purporting to have invented this name in 2005. No evidence in Google Scholar for any actual phobia known by this term. —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:08, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Delete. Likely hoax and borderline patent nonsense: Trypophobia is a serious fear of hole, which results in an all-over itchy feeling and general uneasyness. Google search seems to indicate a pattern of trolling: petitions to dictionaries to include the word, posts to answers.yahoo.com, attempts to insert the word (together with shock site images) in the World of Warcraft forums. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:32, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Delete. Non-notable nonsense. - Cardamon (talk) 17:02, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

I cant even find an entry in WP?

They even deleted the article's talk page - is that normal wiki protocol?

deletion is normal. maybe the talk page went with the article?

I think this is the website about trypophobia being disgusted as opposed to a phobia:

;lkasjdf;klajsd;kfjasdf that foot ugh

"rake rock reggae" posted a similar picture in December. I realize this one is worse than his.

the foot is hitting the proper grossness vs. public decency balance, no worries.

as a teen, i got something like that from washing dishes in this foul restaurant, standing every night in an inch or two of rotting food water for hours on end. the protestations of skin.

Oh yeah, that photo is fine for this thread. Just terrible for my feelings area.

burn that foot

burn it now

contenderizer - Are you the former rake rock reggae? I recall that person posting the other foot photo.

contenderizer - were you able to get rid of it?

i am not the former rake rock reggae, and the foot thing went away when i got a better job and quit hanging out in sewer water.

Some ppl doing an amazing job of conquering their fears here

By superimposing two similarly perforated panels a short distance from one another the desired effect is thus created.

both exemplify the creative fashion in which a simple mathematical occurrence mixed with choice materials can coax the void of an interior space into a matchless and mysterious place.

The perforation plate of an Ephedra torreyana vessel. The perforations are circular and bordered, quite different from the scalariform pattern basic to the pattern in flowering plants.

The perforation plate of Ephedra kokanica consists of perforations relatively large for the genus.

"The perforations are circular and bordered, quite different from the scalariform pattern basic to the pattern in flowering plants."
dont be so sure mr smug

The wood of Gnetum gnemon mostly has vessels with large simple perforation plates, but smaller vessels, like this one, viewed with SEM, can have perforation plates composed of numerous perforations like those of Ephedra.
