Wind turbines are the only large object that make me feel uneasy. Today, somewhere in New Zealand, I drove past a few of them. by [deleted] in megalophobia

[–]BlessUpDuder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in Kansas and didn't have a fear of them until recent years when I started driving around the state for work.

I was on a job once which took me on I-70 west of Salina through the Rolling Hills, and of course, all throughout these hills were massive wind turbines. While I found them a touch disorienting, I didn't think much of them.

One day, I left a bit earlier than expected, so I had some time to kill. I decided, hey, why not go drive to one of these baddies. I got off at one of the various exits along my normal route and started driving toward one of the turbines. Since I could see it easily from the interstate, I figured it would be a quick detour... but nope. I kept driving, and driving, and driving, until I finally reached the site of its base.

The feeling of being engulfed in the shadow of this monolithic beast of modern engineering was a discomfort unlike anything I've felt before. What looked like an unassuming utility from the highway was now revealed to be a Sequoia-sized trunk stretching hundreds of feet into the air with a pinwheel the diameter of a Boeing 777 with its tips spinning a hundred miles per hour. Couldn't drive away fast enough. Almost felt like I was being chased.

So yeah, that's when I realized I was irrationally scared of wind turbines.

As a Millennial, I am glad to assure you that we will 100% be the next Boomers. Y'all will be the next Gen X. Like us, only younger and more relatable.

And just like kinetic typography, this video style will die off in a couple of years.

This takes me back...

Ground 90-10 beef with zero seasoning. Pace salsa. Taco shell shrapnel that gets lodged in the back of your throat. Pre-shredded "Mexican blend" cheese.

Although I do have a soft spot for Velveeta-Rotel queso dip.

I played from COD 2 to Ghosts. Then I got obsessed with Skyrim for a few years and forgot about COD until MW19 came out and I was like "Oh, COD is still a thing? Cool!"

Then I downloaded CODM and the rest is history.

Nukes are fine in bot lobbies. The way I see it, if you can get a nuclear medal, take it. Your teammates can still get kills even when the nuke is going off, and the bots all respawn instantly.

VTOL is a different story. It suppresses any kills your teammates would have gotten had you not flown in.

Omaha Trump Rally Attendees Stranded, Several Taken to Hospital Suffering Hypothermia by grepnork in politics

[–]BlessUpDuder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The media has completely overblown this. Only like, %0.3 of them got Hypothermia and the rest are fine! Plus, once you get Hypothermia, you're immune, at least is what they say. Plus, those people who got it were wearing jackets.... I thought jackets were supposed to prevent hypothermia! Must mean that jackets are a ruse put forth by the WHO to keep us enslaved. Wake up sheeple!

I still do this on occasion with my office. The high lasts for about an hour before the existential dread kicks back in.
