  • It’s weird people don’t.

    You literally can’t breathe in there, go to deep and you meet a terrible fate just going back up. And as if that wasn’t deadly enough, it’s filled with creatures that can kill you or look horrific but are harmless, or look derpy but are one of the smartest predators on the planet other than humans.

    That said I’ve been diving and kayaking.



  • A kidney biopsy tool, except the person who’s supposed to get the sample keeps missing and the local anesthetic (lidocaine) is wearing off

    The scars still emit pain, and the biopsy sites (I got stabbed with that thing 5 times) hurt more than the actual transplant surgery site itself.

    Other than that, cancer if the tumors grow in the right spot.

    As someone else said, gout. Definitely gout. In particular, severe gout caused by dehydration from food poisoning.

    A 14 gauge needle being stuck all the way through and past your fistula for dialysis. Here’s size comparisons:

    Note: 14 is 2 sizes bigger than 16.


    For non painful things, I’d say a bone biopsy ( this is assuming they gave you the good stuff for pain ). There’s something that feels very wrong of feeling your bones being punctured, scraped from the inside, and popped like a champagne bottle.

    Squishing a big roach with your barefoot when you didn’t know one was hiding in your shoe.

    Getting food poisoning from shellfish specifically.

    Walking through flood waters, seeing a water moccasin, but not knowing where it is or went.

    Thalassophobia.













  • Number one, they can’t consent to being born, If given the choice, I would not consent to being born right now, why should I force that on someone else.

    All your points are solid except this one. This one just gives the pro-birthers ammunition to use and strengthen a belief. Something which does not exist nor has any consciousness isn’t capable of the concept of consent. Consent is a social construct created by humans (which unfortunately not everyone believes in), but a fetus isn’t yet human (in your example, it’s not even a fetus but the concept of a human, which is even further abstract. This is like complaining a painting did not consent to existing).

    It also is a rationally failed thought in that such a hypothetical still non existent being also can’t communicate a desire to exist. It can’t communicate anything, actually.

    Projecting your own depression into it doesn’t help anyone, including yourself.
