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

How many human children do you have, buff?

No children, Jesse ... just my two kitties, Buffy and Maxie.

Your story of being a grandma is giving me trypophobia.

The website says I'm posting duplicates, but I'm not. That's one of the problems. The other one is it won't post, just that little box thingy.

knitted car reminds me of an whimsical bent wire car i saw at a paris auto show as a kid. its weblike complexity fascinated me but i also found it subtly disturbing. wish i could find a picture...

a few years later, when i was 7 or so, i had a terrible fever during which i hallucinated not only pulsating black holes that would open in the floor to swallow people, but that everything around me had turned into these insanely complex constructions of translucent webbing, fractal things in which every intersection unspun to reveal a thousand more. here that sense of "subtly disturbing" intricacy was blown open into screaming terror, as the incomprehensibility of this new world seemed both wrathful and profoundly evil to me. probably as close as i've ever come to being truly insane (debatable, of course), and my only real brush with something like trypophobia.

the holes part was a lot like (and perhaps influenced by?) this:

That depends on whether you were alive when the Yellow Submarine was made. (I'm pretty sure that is from that movie.)

Is this more like it?

yeah, buff, that painting is pretty close.

i was born the year before yellow sub came out, but i think we had the soundtrack album and/or a picture book. my mom was a huge beatles fan so i grew up w that stuff.

oh hey, turns out the sculpture i mentioned earlier is called "vintage car of the future" and was built by frederick rowland emett:

It looks like a giant insect. If this is supposed to be a car, where in the hell do you sit?

Your mom and I must be close in age. The Beatles came to America when I was in high school in the early 60's.

The painting of the guy with red hair is from a phobia website. Obviously, this one represents trypophobia.

If this is supposed to be a car, where in the hell do you sit?

this question troubled me greatly at the time

taht car gives me the cooties

Latham, you can't get cooties, you have to be born with them!!

You just say that because you are afraid of the circles and dots necessary for childhood inoculation.

please for the betterment of mankind lock this thread.

ignoring a phobia doesn't make it go away. at best you can just hide it away for a long time until it inevitably sprouts up stronger than ever in a sickening mass of clusters and holes and pods and baby toads that take over your brane. better just to put it all out in the open and let exposure therapy do its trick.
