What is the scariest shit you can think of?
-
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.

Being buried alive.
Ask for a bell in your will.

Rogue black holes. Just thinking about them makes my guts queasy.

If enough psychologists and civil servants wanted to, they could have you declared insane, and then nothing you say can come to your defense as you are now deemed too insane to be listened to. I know this isnt as straight forward as the average person thinks, but the possibility of it even happening once to someone is terrifying.
Oh that and trigeminal nueralgia, the worst pain possible forever.

I don't really believe in an afterlife, as such, but I do hold on to the possibility that conciousness is less about our physical meat and something more quantum mechanical, and thus is a chance that none of the information that makes up our experiences and thoughts is ever just "deleted" it just becomes part of the universe.
Quantum mechanics does not have much to do with consciousness.

My wife got a light headed dizziness this morning. The kids freaked out and ran downstairs trying to get me. As I approached the kitchen one of my kids, super scared points towards the kitchen area. I can't see yet. My mind naturally goes... "She's dead isn't she? Oh yeah, she's a gonner...WTF! Who's gonna do the taxes? Who's gonna feed the kids and get them to school? Who's.... I'm totally screwed! No! K love her and need her too much! Why is she just quitting on me like that! Bitch! WTF! Where is she!
Oh she's fine! I finally make the turn into the kitchen. Its just another bout of high blood pressure. But I'm the crazy one for not eating all her ethnically correct lard cooked everything. Ooh! You gotta try the chocolate! Its traditional! Here, let me just add more lard and triple fry it for you....no way hose lady! She will just not listen. The good thing is she's not that big in case I need to carry her around the house one day. I'm going to have to change her diapers and everything. That's the scariest.

getting spahgettified is hard to imagine. since time dilation is in effect it would take years to notice.

Becoming a quadriplegic or suffering from "locked in" syndrome, where I can no longer move anything myself, cannot feed myself or use the toilet, etc, just laying there, 100% dependent on other people for everything. I'd rather be dead, thanks.
Is assisted suicide an option if that were to happen?

Would it be one of those things where if we get hit by a rogue black hole we wouldn't have enough time to worry about it before we were gonners or would we know years in advance?

Being tied to a chair, lights and a video camera in your face with someone behind you waving a long knife, hand on your shoulder chanting Allahu Akbar over and over...
chant it with them, try to confuse them

Non-existence.
Just thinking about not existing at all gives me this gnarly feeling of primeval fear.
If existence were lacking, there would be no me to percieve the lack of existence.

For me personally being out in nature with no cover and encountering a thunderstorm right above me. Most scary things are scary because I read about them at some point or heard about them in the news but the fear of getting struck by lightning is much more archaic.
I tend to think if I get struck by lightning and survive i'd be a badass. I'd definitly try to find a way to use it to get pussy.

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.
What kind of dog do you have?

A Bernese Mountain Dog girl. I don't think I have to mention that she is, indeed, a very good dog.
