    Some form of torture. The thing about torture is you can always add "and then..."

    Psychological and physical

    Imagine being forced to rip off your significant other's fingernail.

    And you might say "There's no way I'd do that"

    Sadly you will. Either to save yourself or them from more torture.

    You will do it, we all would. That's scary.

          Any disease that causes you to slowly go mad. Things like fatal insomnia or rabies.

          the worst one is FFI, which you dont sleep til you die. and there other variants of CJVD, thats just as strange. prions are also found in FUNGI, although it does the opposite rather than a disease state, its an evolutionary benefit rather than a disease.
          also the "so called protocol to put someone in a coma" on treating rabies, is largely been criticized and debunked as a various dangerous procedur, they could not replicate the same effect.

            Yup. My SO got mouth cancer a couple years back in their early 30's, even though the operation was succesful and chemo & radiation worked and they'll be considered cancer-free in about 9 months, the fact that it happened so early means it's quite likely they'll get it again. How does one live with that information? And as a partner how do I build my life around it? Of course it's possible they'll never get that shit again, but it would be foolish to not prepare ourselves mentally for the worst. If it's around the head they can't get more radiation. If it's in the same place than the previous one they'd would probably lose their ability speak, eat properly etc. The chemo probably made them infertile so if we'd like to have biological childer we have just a couple years to make the decision, and I have restrictions about that so we'd have to look for other opportunities anyways, and we should start looking for them now but we * can't *. If we move elsewhere, as we'd like to, the chances are they won't get as good treatment as here. I don't feel like I'm ready to consider all this in my mid 30's while I'm still trying to find my place in the world. So yeah, fuck cancer.

            also HPV has been implicated in mouth cancers, which are typically rare diseases, although alot them seems to stem from smoking, tobacco,,,etc.
            the one scary mouth cancer is the one that forms from your gums(ameloblastoma, or the carcinoma variant)

              transmissible cancer, some surgeons had got cancers from thier patients by accidentally pricking themselves with a contaminiated instrument, although it was treatable and non issue once the tumor was removed. other forms like transplant patients is another source. rare t-cell cancers like mycosis fungoides, you go from patches, to "plaques" to tumors.

              and there has only one case of animal to human cancer, the guy had AIDS and got tapeworm cancer from it, which is the most unusual situations out there.

                Only once you have symptoms is it too late.

                You can have it for years before symptoms appear, though the average is two months. If you get vaccinated before then, you're good.

                some people have reported getting numbess around the bite wound like days after, which is a sign of the rabies already infecting the nerves around the bite area. there was a house episode like this, where foreman dint realize house has stabbed his bite wound with a needle.

                  Non-existence.

                  Just thinking about not existing at all gives me this gnarly feeling of primeval fear.

                      Not having any feeling in your legs, but not being paraplegic, so you could legit accidentally walk outside without any pants on.

                            There are various factors that increase the risk of course, but according to the doctors for a person this young the exposure is not the reason for getting sick. Epigenetics could be the reason for the increase in young people's mouth cancers as epigenetic changes in genes can transmit across generations, meaning it's possible that, for example, environmental exposure that occurred in one generation, could be transmitted even further beyond their children and grandchildren.

                              On the smaller scale it's probably my wife and dog dying, in the larger scheme of things it's the rise of fascism here in Germany and Europe.

                                    Trapped in space but you just ate a quadrillion calorie burrito so you have to exist floating in space forever and ever and ever and ever.

                                    Slightly better than just a void because you have the views, but slightly worse because you don't know what to expect: what if I get sucked up into a black hole?

                                      Time dilation.

                                      Imagine you go to prison for a year. That’s one year you’re without your family and friends, and a year they’re without you. 1:1 time.

                                      Now imagine you’re put to sleep and kept in a coma like state, fed by tubes. A computer or similar machine induces a dreamlike state that is indistinguishable from reality in which you will be imprisoned for 100 years. You never sleep. You never eat or drink. You never need to. And you can’t relax, you’re constantly being hunted or otherwise threatened. In the real world your family never left your side because in the real world, you’re only under for an hour.

                                      Something similar happened to a guy on Star Trek (O’Brien on Deep Space Nine). Black Mirror did it a few times. And the fourth season of Sword Art Online (an anime) did it as well. Probably some others. Oh yeah, Interstellar. So you may have seen it.

                                      Warning: i might be spreading misinformation i never clicked into the article im a HEADLINE READER!!!!!
