Prominences, Flares, The Corona And The Chromosphere Of The Sun As Seen During The First Seconds Of Totality!

Oh my god this thread speaks to me, I was a very easily scared kid. Skulls, mammal skulls specifically and human skulls most specifically, were my most common problem. I remember my parents visited a shop with diving supplies, and they had a poster on the front of the check out counter with a painted sunken WWII airplane that had a skeleton in it, and I was so freaked out I couldn't even look in that direction or even really exist in the store. Also the commercials for the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie were a pretty rough time (I love it now!). Halloween season was the worst (although balanced a bit by abundant candy).

Speaking of dino related media I read The Lost World in 4th grade and Jurassic Park shortly after and reading about people getting eaten alive by dinos was quite the experience! I was definitely aware of dinos before but quickly spiraled into obsession after reading such vivid and dynamic depictions of them as real animals. I've never really been as afraid while reading books as I have in real life and I think being able to experience things through literature (and pulp) helped me get past some of the things that really freaked me out as a kid. I'm really thankful for the people who were patient with me while I was smol and scared

Oh also I saw part of The Mask on TV at a party as a kid and that was pretty freaky

what is the lamest thing that ever genuinely scared you like either as a kid or adult. i got scared of those halloween cartoon scooby doo ass eye stickers ppl put on mirrors when i was 9 and screamed so hard i fainted

This is so wholesome

can you rant to me about how alive vehicles feel to you

I can and will.

Whenever I find myself using public transport, I find myself able to amuse myself with just the sounds they make as they move along.

Just think of the bus. It moves across the street, humming as it rolls across the road, hissing at it comes to a stop like it's breathing. Lowering itself down to allow the other beings to climb onto it.

When you look up from really high, everything becomes little distant specks. Like ants scurrying from their home to their food or what have you.

And when everything is made of the same matter, the same carbon and the same iron, what separates us from the vehicle? Mind? Thought? Does the contraption dream too? I have no way of knowing as of now.

We thank the driver, but when we do so, we might as well thank the bus itself. It works like us, brings us places. Allows us to live. Wordlessly nurtures us.

Machinery is a form of living being too and I find it most prominent in the bus. So thank you to whoever invented public transport. You gave us a beast, a beautiful one, one worthy of all of my admiration and praise.

And sorry if this feels like the ramblings of an insane person but you asked for my words and on god you have been GIVEN them. Have a good one. My stop is coming up

This reminds me of how photogrammetry software sometimes includes chunks of the sky or foliage in the picture and maps the texture of the object you wanted to capture onto those extra things, I've never seen pixel art (or really any other art) that captures that effect and it's blowing my mind
