So, all we need is for Stephen King to crank out a quick short horror story that stars that second machine. It's actually impressive to see how much stupid has been packed into one machine alone. Like, dang.

They say that fear is the oldest feeling there is. They probably didn't have decaying puppets or underwater clowns in the dawn of man, but holy hell do they do the job. On second thought, maybe primordial clowns came from the sea just like us? Long, wet clowns with gills that honked. Maybe it's best not to think about it. From the world's cursed images to the necessary but ominous signs we use to warn each other of real danger, there's some spooky crap out there, man.

Nighttime has an uncanny knack for making a whole lot of everyday things seem exponentially creepier than if you'd simply seen them when it's light out. Our nerves can tend to be on edge when we're situated somewhere between the land of dreams and the waking state. With all of that being said, there's no getting around the fact that having a bear cruise up to your tent to press its nose up against your humble abode would be just a bit off-putting.
They say what you don't know can't hurt you, but that line of logic doesn't work when it comes to exposed wires, sinkholes, hidden explosive ordinance, and bears. Also poison ivy, quicksand, riptides, monkeys and poison gas. Oh yeah, plus geese, shooting ranges and nuclear runoff. But that's close to all of it. Maybe. Either way these creepy signs made their message clear.

On the list of "things you don't want flying out of an aquarium tank," the moray eel is a strong contender. They're pretty big, they just look sinister as hell, and they absolutely love to bite. The things have two sets of jaws and are notorious for holding onto their prey no matter what. This one in particular bit a handler the last time it got out. What they make up for with biting, they lack in planning aquarium escapes.

This is not the Uber that you're looking for, my dude. Also, let this video be a lesson to anyone else out there who is considering embarking upon a safari ride. Lock the dang car doors.

In 2019, some high winds in Edmonton left these workers hanging on for their dear lives on a violently swinging platform. Could there be a better example of why PPE is a good idea? These dudes were in for the ride of their lives with only a few cables and ropes to keep them (somewhat) secure.
Just because something is an herbivore doesn't mean it won't break you in half like a twig. Just because something was nice in a cartoon doesn't mean it won't eat your face. And just because something is small doesn't mean it can't stab you. Not only are cows, chickens and otters more deadly than they seem. There are loads of things that are surprisingly dangerous, like grapefruit juice and garage door springs. Take it from this zookeeper insider knowledge, every animal can be a hassle.

We live with more than a few cartoonish dangers in our world. There's loose monkeys, plants that only exist to inflict pain, and brain amoebas. There are cliffs, falling rocks, and every manner of potential electrocution. If not for these creepy signs that make their message clear, we'd be having that much harder a time. While terrifying signs are first and foremost helpful things, that doesn't mean they're not real spooky.
Not every hazard in life is going to have a creepy signto accompany it. Some really common things like sitting a certain way or picking flowers can have hidden dangers. It's hard not to get a little anxious after reading about the surprisingly dangerous things in everyday life, but at least it's better than not knowing the dangers of ignoring your dryer lint.

White Phosphorus and O2 don't get along too well. Well at least as far as not starting up a fire that won't go out.

This is one of those unsettling videos that paints a picture of fun and absolute, panic-inducing terror at the same time. Can't imagine what one's stomach would feel like if you were on a boat like that.
We shouldn't be happy when bad things happen, but the whole world would be lying if it never admitted that some satisfaction comes with being right. That "I told you so" momentis sweet and it is strong. The feeling of righteous indignation is nice, even when it comes from your brother in law electrocuting himself while installing a lightbulb improperly.
We live in a world full of unconventional hazards. Random explosions, sinkholes, radiation, chlorine gas leaks, gorilla escapes, sewage tidal waves and mosquitos are all things that we feel need some kind of creepy warning signs for. Oh, also aerated water, poisonous plants, electricity, slippery rocks, angry hippos, quicksand and heavy machinery need some spooky warning signs as well. Also cliffs.
Creepy, obsessive and manipulative behavior is not gender exclusive, and just about everyone has had to endure moments of creepiness in their lives. Whether it's an ex sneaking into your house or a total stranger not reading the room, it's always awkward. These creepiest things people said on first dates or these cringey nice guys are just a taste of how quickly things can get uncomfortable. Bridging the gap from creepy to just scary and bad situations, here are people's "man, I gotta get outta here" moments.

Maybe it's all about carrying no fear in your heart. Maybe this guy's just exuding such an overwhelming presence of love that the crocodile isn't even thinking twice about attacking him. Who knows. What I do know is that this croc is out there looking like a modern day dinosaur.
