- This essay is about the ocean, why? Because I’ve thought about it way too much over the past few years. Thalassophobia is quite the fear considering it's 70% of the place you live.

Sorry for the distorted audio from 32:49 - 34:23, I got hit with a copyright claim and had to take out the background music here which screwed up the audio. Also at 14:15 I said skinwalkers are "creepypastas" this isn't true, they're Native American folklore. Sorry about that.
At 11:45 you mentioned deep sea gigantism. Another theory on that is that being larger slows their metabolism and makes their bodies more efficient without needing to eat as often because there's not many resources down there.
Also amazing video more phobias please.
You could've done some research on skinwalkers before calling them a creepypasta, the concept is older than the internet and it's disrespectful to give Slenderman more respect
@@monniemo813 they also lose less heat, it's probably very cold down there and they'd need to contain as much heat as possible to use less metabolism
HAHAHA i was gonna mention 14:15 ur good !
Yuri Lipsky didn't die because he simply ran out of oxygen. He died because he dove too fast and have himself nitrogen narcosis which disoriented him beyond any hope of being able to even tell what direction was up. It happens when you dive too fast and nitrogen bubbles form in your blood stream. So just imagine being blackout drunk 300ft below sea level, his body shut down and thats what caused his death.
Not to sound like a dick, I want this to be constrictive criticism but. It's this lack of research and hasty jumps to conclusions that made me dislike your astrophobia video. I really think you'd benefit from hiring an editor to help you fact check the admittedly complicated scientific concepts you cover on your channel, especially with how big you've gotten.
The entire point of that section, was to communicate horrors of people in an environment they weren't built for in this case water. While important to preserve facts, my objective wasn't to provide a comprehensive breakdown for how he died, but even then narcosis was one of several factors that led to his death, the water was one such factor and that's mostly what I chose to focus on, and I didn't think the average viewer would mind nor did I think it would affect the viewing experience. But thanks for pointing it out, I'm still only learning this whole thing and doing it on the side and still don't really know what I'm doing, hopefully I can grow more by fact checking better, but that isn't really an excuse on my end.
@@Cresendex yea I was genuine when I said I didn't want to come off as a dick but now that I'm reading it back I could have worded it better. It just feels weird to use a man's death to stir fear when you're not accurately explaining the circumstances of his death. And imo what the body goes through during NN makes the whole situation more terrifying. Your vids are great man, I have watched all of them like. I am a fan man, keep it up
Fun fact, nitrogen narcosis happens as you go past a certain depth regardless of your dive speed, in deeper waters you need a gas mix instead of regular air to prevent narcosis from occurring 😊
Niyrogen Narcosis isnt because nitrogen bubbles form in your blood. Thats the opposite problem, Decompression sickness, barotrauma, or "the Bends".
Gases can dissolve into water when they are under pressure, and when the pressure is released the gases evaporate back out. A can of soda is under pressure, when you open the can and release the pressure, the dissolved CO2 bublles out. When you dive under water, your blood begins to dissolve CO2, O2, and N2. The free N2 dissolved in the blood acts as an anesthetic, all gases do except noble gases. When ypu surface too quickly, the dissolved gases can literally bubble out into your blood. You have to decompress, resurfacing slowly, and this is basically waiting for your blood to go "Flat" like a soda left open.
both my parents were scuba divers, one being an ocean photographer and the other being an instructor. I brought up the concept of the "call to the void" to my mother and explained to her how it worked. The sudden urge to do something self destructive and for some diving instructors they've seen people inexplicably just, swim, down, far down, making it difficult to get them back. I just wanted to know if my mom had experienced something like that. My mother explained to me how some people don't realize that when there in the ocean there in a 3D world. On land you think of forward, backwards, left and right and rarely every need to think of up or down when physically moving, so when some people go scuba diving for the first few times they forget to take into account that things move overtop of and under them. That's why most diving accidents happen from animals attacking from above or bellow. I don't know why, but that concept kinda terrified me. the same way walking on glass floors or thin wires, the idea that things could be happening LITERALLY all around you is something some people don't realize when thinking of the ocean.
That's really interesting! I think that is also why I'm so terrified of caves, the thought of something like that underneath my feet is... uncomfortable to say the least.
Yeah this is very important when diving with predators like sharks, they are curious by nature...so your focus has to be 100% at the sharks and that in a 3D environment.
Sometimes I let my mind drift and a picture of one of those land tortoises comes to my mind. Ancient, shell covered in moss and small plants, basically a small ecosystem on four legs. Then I think about the deep sea and start wondering, weather something similar cold exist down there. Like an octopus disguising itself as part of a reef, maybe there is something disguising as the reef itself, resting, observing. And just maybe some diver might already have -unknowingly- looked straight into it's eye.
Some diving spots have really high death rates not because they are dangerous in an intuitiv sense but because light is being reflected from below which makes many amateur divers dive deeper thinking they are going up and when you start to run out of oxygen confusion makes it even harder trying to find the right direction.

Fun Fact: Drowning is something every single human on earth is afraid of. That's why the fear of drowning has no name. Even if you removed your ability to feel fear and you started suffocating, you would still feel fear for your life. It is the single scariest thing possible for a human
skinwalkers are from native american folklore, the navajo i believe
Yep, they are creepy
thx I was about to say this. not even close to being a creepypasta.
Lol
@@mandohunter8509Vampires are worse!!
As a Navajo, yeah. I grew up with stories about them from my grandpa. Not sure if I believe them, as I'm a natural skeptic, but I remember a story about his encounter with one.
When he was a young man, he use to maintain rest areas near Soccoro, NM. He and his coworkers finished up a stop around 2am, and were headed back home to Albuquerque. They were packing up the truck when someone noticed a coyote on the other side of a fence. They thought nothing of it, rest areas always have some kind of wild animals around. My grandpa whistled at it like you would a dog, and it's ears perked up. Then he called out to it, something along the lines of "Hey buddy, what's going on?"
He and his coworker swore to this day it repeated the last words of what they said. There was confusion at first, then my grandpa ran back to the truck, telling his coworker to get away from it, but the other guy was amazed by a talking animal. It wasn't until it rose up on its hindlegs, that the guy finally moved. They drove out of there, my grandpa could still see it in the tail-ligjts walking like a man down the road.
They said nothing during that whole drive home and he didn't share his encounter with anyone except his dad and grandpa, who had him cleansed a few days later. Much later on, he told my dad about it and then me. Whether his encounter was real or maybe he had sleep deprivation, it gives me chills just imagining it.
I think one of the scariest parts of Bioshock is the knowledge of being trapped at the bottom of the ocean.
Big Daddies, Plasmids, Little Sisters, the various characters... they're just icing on the cake. You are trapped and can't escape, meanwhile the whole society is tearing itself apart.
Even more trapped than usual - as long as there is power, you'll die and respawn in a vita chamber.
Pray it's one with breathable air.
Go play SOMA, as soon as possible if you haven't already.

Fear of drowing isn't a phobia. Its just survival
Fear of dying is futile...
Yes but having an irrational fear of it is, like being terrified you’re going to drown every time you go in a swimming pool or are in a body of water.
aquaphobia
That sentence literally contradicts itself. A phobia is just a fear, and fear is what plays into a lot of our survival. We wouldn't survive drowning if we didn't fear being underwater so much
@kooseyeok-g2m Yeah, but a phobia is an irrational fear. So being scared of drowning isn’t a phobia unless you refuse to ever go swimming even in a pool because you think you’ll drown. The average person doesn’t have a phobia of drowning, they’ll only be scared of drowning if they’re completely submerged and running out of breath
I've never considered a video I've seen more goddamn messed up than the one of what i thought was the motionless camera on yuri's dead body still recording. It's subtle and beats any amount of gore I've ever seen.
With gore and stuff, you know they don’t feel pain, they’re dead; With drowning, you know they are in horrible unimaginable pain and you know that they are dying and you know nothing can be done.

With such a small portionof the ocean actually explored how do we know the mariana trench is actually the deepest hole?
We’ve mapped the entire ocean, We know whats there, We just haven’t actually gone there. Like Mars, we know what’s there we just haven’t stepped foot there.
we've mapped the sea floor. we just haven't traveled through the entirety of the ocean's volume, because that's kind of ridiculous lol.
In short - mapped but not explored!
@@radRadiolarianbro doesn’t understand the concept of radar

Another thing that really scares me, apart from the vastness of the oceans or outer space, is the scale of geologic time.

@@qaztim11 made me laugh out loud thx
11:35 yo we actually do know why deep sea gigantism happens it’s pretty well understood. It happens because for an organism to survive longer without food they need a slower metabolism and to achieve a slower metabolism they need to be bigger organisms. Sounds counter intuitive but in practice that is the outcome. The bigger you are the less food you need over long periods of time if they were smaller they would need similar ratios of food to body weight that large organisms need, however, they would burn through the calories much quicker leading to them needing food more often.
love the video though keep up the good work just search up stuff more thoroughly that you might be confused on 👍❤️
I love the internet sometimes cause when I was young I’d try to explain this fear to people, like I genuinely can’t even get into a pool by myself I’m that spooked of big areas of water, and they’d all look at me like I was speaking a different language. Now I hop on CZcams and see a bunch of people relating to it and it’s so damn validating love to see it
Same, but I can’t even get in a body of water with ppl .. it’s sucks I’m always in the sand, in the side of the lake , if it’s a big enough boat in in it while everyone is happing fun looking at me like I’m weird 😢😢😢
It depends what you mean. If you're scared to go for a swim close to shore, then that's definitely weird and bordering on irrational. If you're afraid of the open ocean, that's probably very normal.
MIKUUUU
The video of Yuri drowning is one of the craziest/hardest things to watch
i plan to become a deep sea biologist, so i've never been afraid of the ocean. especially not the deep sea. whenever i ask people why they're scared of the ocean, they tend to just say it's big and mysterious and creepy and the animals are scary (here's a secret: nothing down there wants to hurt you. to make it short, they're usually pathetic). i've never been able to grasp those last 3 points; they're what makes it alluring. but hearing how detailed and passionate you are in this video finally is helping me understand this fear. :)
for me personally its not that its big or mysterious and creepy its the fact that in no way shape or form am i able to be down there and if i am, i am with the help of machinery ,which, if it fails im going to die immedietely and if i dont the darkness will not let me see anything and if a predator comes by im dead and have no chances even if i am in relatively shallow water even in 30 meters deep water if i cant see everything around me i am scared because of the danger of something that i cant see and the feeling of emptiness and blindness, underwater i cant see anything more that 50 meters away, which is terrifying
Im afraid of it because i am a rational human being who knows i dont belong down there. We are simply intruding on a space we were never meant to be. Saddest thing about the deep ocean is Ive sadly seen walmart bags pretty far down there in documentaries etc. They find so much trash down there, and its shameful. We should be ashamed
It's scary to me because of the loneliness
marine biologist here, I'm even more scared of the ocean because I know lots about it lol
@@vicieux7789 well the animals are mostly calm and is "just" a dangerous environment. If any, more knowledge should reduce the amount of fear regarding non logical fears of the ocean.
I would not consider drowning to be a phobia because a phobia is an irrational fear of something and drowning is not an irrational fear,
One way I calm my thalassophobiak is to imagine just how DELICIOUS those deep sea creatures would be if I ever get one and put it over the grill 😂
There's a video of someone fishing out a ghost shark and then cooking and eating it
It could go the other way round as well 😅
sorry to break your dreams, but most of them are too watery for people's liking, there are some exception like japanese spider crab (which is known to have a sweet and very soft meat) but it sure isn't a goldmine of good seafood
Not satisfied until every species has been tested
Just shut up.
I'd argue Subnautica is definitely meant to scare you, it's not outright a horror game sure, but things like the Reaper, Ghost, and Sea Dragon Leviathans are definitely meant to scare you, especially the original versions of the Reapers in Beta that had advanced AI that could hunt you down and find you pretty easily
4:26 "Aaaaah I'm drowning Aaaah" it's probably that.
“91% of deepsea creatures are yet to be indetified”
Expectations: megalodon
Reality: 500 million species of isopod
At 14:17 you said that Wendigos and Skinwalkers are creepypastas, but they are part of Algonquian and Navajo folklore.
That part bothered me tbh
I loath this kind of ignorance. It's a big peeve of mine. It's not very hard to figure out that the modern conception of the skinwalker and wendigo is wrong
Yeah, Wendigo are not skeletal deer demons. They're people who have been possessed by a spirit during times of famine and harsh winters that make them eat other people.
Skinwalkers are not shapeshifting cannibal beasts. Skinwalkers are Navajo Witchdoctors that practice taboo rituals and wear the pelts of animals to obtain their abilities (Forgive me if I'm wrong, I am Indigenous but the Skinwalker is not part of my culture).
Sucks whenever I inform and clarify things about my culture I'm just shat on.
I think his point is that windigos/skinwalkers aren't real. They're just stories.
@@Stable_Genius as far as _you specifically_ know
6:49 Floyd Collin’s story is terrifying.. Ever heard of John Jones in Nutty Putty cave..? Equally horrifying. Maybe even worse. He was only stuck for 28 hours but he was upside down. He was stuck in a super tight constricted hole basically. They tried to rescue him for an entire day until finally they had to give up and just waited until they knew he was gone. They couldn’t even get his body out after the fact either. He’s still in there… the stuff of nightmares!!
I live in Utah so I hear of Jones all the time
What If the sea is protecting us? All those drowned submarines and those Shipwrecks aren't to defy us but to protect us to never find the horrors that lurk on the deepest oceans
It's a nice idea. Sort of.
Also sounds like copium, given our natural desire to understand everything.
We've been to the deepest depths "many" times
We ain't fiction, stop thinking in fiction
sounds like a pretty good interpretation, might write a little one-off story about it sometime
Nah why would they sink boats if there on the surface
I have thalassaphobia, but more specifically submechanphobia. I genuinely cannot look at a picture of any man made thing submerged in water without my heart beginning to race. Especially statues, ships, planes, and robots of any kind. Did you know there are underwater graveyards? I don’t know why someone would want to be buried underwater, but whatever floats your boat(haha). I had a nightmare last night that I was trapped in a submarine that started to leak which reminded me a lot of the Titan submersible that imploded this summer. This video captures my fear perfectly, thank you. I think that my fear started from when I was a child and nearly drowned a couple of times.
For me it’s the opposite those always intrigue me
Not as much as the ships themselves fully built but still cool
Drowning is one of the ways of dying I'm actually not afraid of. When I was a little kid, and couldn't swim, my cousin and I were rough housing and he pushed me into the pool. I remember sinking to the bottom and trying to scream, it was scary at first but then I just kind of accepted it and started to pass out. I don't remember too much but I do remember having the distinct thought of "Welp, I guess this is it!" then my uncle apparently dove in and pulled me out. I do have a fear of deep water but not a fear of drowning, I just hate the idea of floating above a dark void full of possible water demons.
Subnautica makes me think about Panthalassa (Greek 'Pan'-All 'thalassa'-Sea), the ancient Super Ocean which surrounded Pangaea. The idea of that giant, vast super ocean is so hauntingly fascinating to me. Imagine the creatures that must have lived in Panthalassa 300 Mya.
This was the one i was dreading...i knew you would make this video sooner or later and i'm excited to hear what you have to say on this subject. it's hard to describe this feeling that goes beyond fear but it's such a terrifying yet interesting feeling. I kind of like it strangely.
if it makes you feel better, you the odds of there being something large, living underwater, not being discovered yet is so low that if there were to be one, there’s probably only 3-5 specimen and you’d never encounter it.
The Bloop was an Ice Quake.
The sound you provided was sped up so the anomaly could be better heard, located, and distinguished between the natural noises for untrained ears.
Sir, you cannot reclassify thalassophobia as “fear of the unknown” cause there’s already a classification for that: Xenophobia, or Agnostophobia. Also, the fear of drowning falls under the motif of aquaphobia.
16:35 the music sounds like if my computer is overheating and about to explode and keeps catching me off guard
please never stop posting man! And holy sh*t the video of the guy drowning had me shocked this is so scary i knew you'd make a vid about thalasophobia and im not disappointed
there are plenty of theories as to why gigantism occurs, the most probable to me seems to be heat conservation and by extent, energy preservation.
the bigger the animal, the harder it is for the heat to escape, thus requiring less food, which is scarce down there.
"we've only mapped out and explored 20% of the ocean🤓"
No. That is entirely wrong. Also, Skinwalkers aren't a creepypasta, they're native American legends.
And we have mapped about 80% of the ocean, and been to like 25%.
There's no Megalodon or giant Kraken in the mariana trench, what the hell would it eat there?
Also, those 91%, most of that is jellyfish, small deep sea fish, amphipods, and small squid.
I have severe Thallassophobia, but I have zero fear of drowning, because oxygen deprivation actually makes you feel very calm and peaceful before you go. I'm afraid of what LIVES in the ocean, and the idea of being vulnerable from literally any direction. I also live on an island nation surrounded by extremely violent waters containing a massive population of great whites and tiger sharks.
Thank you for the video!
The bloop turned out to be ice sheets falling into water in pretty sure.
the entire ocean floor has been mapped, we just havent explored the volume of the ocean. You could say we haven't explored the majority of the atmosphere as well, there's no need to, we know its mostly nothing. it's a common miscoception that we don't know whats in 80٪ of the ocean we know what's there, its water😂.
we also havent mapped the entire volume of the crust or mantle as well, cuz its dirt and magma. if there was something notable floating in the middle of the ocean, crust, mantle, ir atmosphere we would have noticed it using sonar, satellite, or the many other methods we have to detect anomalies and such.😂
We need to give this guy credit when the term Submersiphobia becomes up and coming
I'll argue that we do live on Earth as, as far as we know, and though we only do occupy the rocky bits, humans don't exist, that we know of, anywhere else in the universe.
I've run both outlast games no sweat, killed hoards of necromorphs in dead space without a care. But subnautica hits a special "fuck nope" button in my soul that stops me playing longer than an hour hahaha
I almost drowned. It definitely was not painful, nor is the most painful way to go, though when my mom did CPR on me, it was uncomfortable spewing out water laying on my side.
After the initial panic, a sense of peace and weightlessness took over me for several seconds before my mom was there.
But fear is more psychological.
Most scientist pain index seems to say that the most painful death is being flayed alive, and that would make logical sense.
When I was a child I would always have a nightmare where I would be sinking into the ocean surrounded by darkness
claustrophobia is associated with a fear of tight spaces but in and of itself usually stems from a fear of suffocation in general
"how is the ocean so mysterious"
BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA GO IN THERE!
I used to be severely thalassophobic. Just the thought of the ocean terrified me as a kid. It's one of the reasons why I preferred swimming pools over the beach.
Back in the '90s, my dad bought us a MS-DOS educational game named "Undersea Adventure" which simultaneously kindled my interest in marine life and triggered my thalassophobia. It prolly didn't help that our IBM PC had problematic sound support so we initially played UA w/o the cheerful sounds and music. The "3-D Undersea World" part, a Doom-like map that you can freely roam around in, felt like a mini horror game, lol.
Yeah, drowning is the worse because when learning to swim I almost drowned in 6 feet of water. I was 4 feet at the time. I learned to swim at the YMCA. Those teachers didn't let go until I was a swimmer. Percy Preist Lake in TN almost got when the length I had started swimming was farther than I thought, I made it dragging my tired muscles ashore like a turtle but, I made it. Good topic.
I’m from Japan which is surrounded by ocean.Also lived in Seattle & LA in my childhood which are both facing ocean. And I have fear of depth.When I go swimming in sea, I try not to think about
what is underneath.
Then this came up to my mind.
What do people living in extremely inland feel about fear of deep sea?
Places like Bolivia , or central Asian countries, their land is so far from sea right?
There must be groups of people that never seen an ocean for generations.
Yesssirr! New video by the goat himself, already know it’s gonna be a certified banger 😤😤
Technically Skin Walkers Aren't "Just A Creepypasta" They Are Part Of Native American Folklore So They Are More Folklore Creatures
Honestly the fact that it’s terrifying makes it cool
Why did i laugh so much at 0:50 😭😭
The fear of drowning is aquaphobia
The bloop was literally just a goddamn iceberg. No sea creature.
And upsweep, uh, I don't know, kinda sounds like a submarine alarm, but it's probably a volcano or much less likely, but still possibly, some endangered dying whale that is the last of its species and calling for a mate or something.
Just one more video before bed
The video before bed:
God I am so brave for even watching this lol. I have always been afraid of the open seas, not because of the creatures or the mystery of it, but because of the fear of drowning and be submerged in it, never to resurface again. I remember that one time my friend convinced me to go jetski with her and I for once , obliged just to face my fears. I ended up crying and shaking in fear. Needless to say, I never tried doing sea activities again unless it’s somewhere shallow or where my head could still surface out of the water. Don’t get me started with boats and ships because I always felt nauseous whenever there’s a dire need of me to ride and get into one of those.
The fact that they think a huge iceberg broke away and fell into the ocean and the sound that underwater microphones picked up from it was just one simple "bloop" is hilarious to me.
As a kid I used to love that stuff but as I grew older it just doesn’t make any sense.
There’s just not enough food for something like a giant squid or shark to survive. Also even if it did in the deep sea it would prolly lack much strength.
Poisonous corals in shallow waters has been enough to instill a fear and respect for the sea. I.e. the corals found in the shallow waters of the Red Sea.
sea urchin
@@gob8440 have you swum in the Red sea? I've grown up in Sweden. There are huge tuna fish, poisonous corals and fish - like the stone fish. The most fish and corals aren't poisonous, but the ones that are SHOULD instill a certain caution.
Alr I guess
Deepsea gigantism is pretty fascinating. The basic idea is that in the cold, dark depths of the ocean, being bigger helps creatures conserve heat better. Larger bodies have a lower surface area to volume ratio, which means they lose heat more slowly compared to smaller bodies. So, in a place where it's tough to stay warm, being big is an advantage because it helps these animals retain what little heat they can generate.
Bro, you put way too much effort into these videos. I have only watched around 8 minutes, and I am already loving it. Keep making content like this.
Most of the ocean is unexplored because majority of it is dead open ocean.
Dying in the vacuum of space is arguably less painful than drowning. For some unknown reason, you'll go unconscious in space in a matter of seconds regardless of how long you'd normally be able to hold your breath. While drowning, you may manage to hold your breath in a vain attempt to survive from anywhere from 30 seconds to almost 3 minutes, and then you'd still be conscious for another minute or two after inhaling the water.
Also here's a scary concept - we know so little about it. We also know there are some marine animals that have very high intelligence with emotions and possibly self-awareness. Who knows what could be evolving in the deep ocean. It's not entirely impossible for some sort of human-level species to be evolving down there, learning to make do with what they can find. Mining the deep ocean floor, building technology of their own, and the possibility that some day they may emerge and come into contact with us. Who knows what will happen... If they are anything like humans, it might not be pretty...
The premise of subnautica is terrifying. Stranded on an ocean world... It would be interesting to see a remake that truly encompasses the reality of these hypothetical ocean worlds. A planet with a global ocean is very likely extremely deep. Just look at europa, the ocean under its ice is likely 40-60 miles deep. A water world could theoretically be 100s or even 1000s of miles deep. Unfathomably deep. Abyssal. Bottomless.

What’s wild is we’ve fought wars on it. Can you imagine being on a ship, and somebody in a plane is trying to shoot your ship so it sinks? Or being in a submarine and praying you’re not seen by an enemy vessel? Men fought in the Pacific, and Japanese planes blew their ships apart, they were thrown into the ocean and scrambled with all their might to somehow get out. German U-Boats were spotted and bombed from the air, or even worse, destroyed with a depth charge. Suddenly, you could be flailing around under the water, seeing men who were already dead and those were dying. Some tangled in debris panicking to extricate themselves. You might see the surface, can you make it there in time? And if you do, what then?
Whenever I see the colossal squid all I can think about is how good it would taste fried
Skinwalkers are not creepypasta, its native american folklore, and techniquely there have been sightings of the wedigo ther are reported accounts of people seeing weird creatures walking around in the deep forests some may be lying but not all of them are that would be impossible
It is possible and is the case wendigos are not real
The bloop is the sound of ocean ice breaking off and melting. I guess a reminder of catastrophic climate change is terrifying too!
Drowning sucks... that's why I've only done it once.

Excited to listen to this one while I play Majora's Mask! I've been having a rough time lately and I need a distraction lol
god ur deep dives are what makes me go to sleep at night, im not even intersted in fears of certain things or phobias, but your content and your way of (explaining?) طريقة طرحك and how you connect it with other forms of media and ur voice too man i just love this channel pls make like 50 videos a day i beg you pleaseeeeeeeeee
I can identify with your fear of drowning, there's a scene in "Turistas" where the characters have to escape from the people trying to kill them and have to swim thru these caves without any air tanks and depending on finding little air pockets to not drown. It is very difficult to watch especially if you have this fear
bro was playing Aquarius at the beginning 🔥🔥🔥
great music choices for this video, I love the Dreamscape channel, it's perfect for this type of content
your videos are so well made, i hope you make it big
Bro the first time I played subnautica and came to the craters edge, my friend convinced me to jump off the edge with a prawn suit 😭
This is just like my fear of spiders, I hate them so much, and I'm absolutely deathly afraid of them, yet I'm so curious about them anyways
the way he describes the ocean is the way DARE described weed
Soma has to be the most terrifying game ever
What if the kraken truly was real but is now extinct and we just haven't found the remains?
What a childish fantasy
It wouldn't be possible to find remains, also that is a real theory and not some unrealistic "childish fantasy" since there used to be many many more giant creatures under water that since have gone extinct.
@KoolKidsJuice giant squids aren't even close to sinking a ship
it's like comparing a hydrogen bomb to a coughing baby
maybe huge octopus or squid existed sure but maybe like 70 million years ago which is not even close to CE and almost impossible that the creature survived (if it even existed)
the theory that it sunk ships is so out of place, why tf would they sink a ship? for fun? they would have literally 0 reason for that, and only "evidence" we have are tales from sailors
@@adriansparrow4554yeah millions of year ago lol
I love that you mentioned the creepy sounds in the ocean. However, I you should've mentioned that this recordings are sped up.
I've been swimming my whole life, so I got that advantage. I don't say I fear the ocean, but I respect it. I know it ALWAYS has the final say. But a LITTLE bit of fear of the ocean I think is sensible.
32:50 did bro go underwater to record
I know you were being serious while talking about your fear of water submerge, but at 8:41, I thought you were gonna say, "But there's something that scares me even more than underwater cave diving even more than drowning... And that's water in general, which I why I haven't showered in months and smell like the fish I try to avoid." 😭😭
IM SORRY, IDK WHERE MY BRAIN WAS GOING WITH THAT. 😂😂😂
22:28 This sound got me shivering me timbers 😬
Subbed, please make more of these phobia videos, i really love them
"How can we say we live on earth when we really only live on a third of it"
How can I say I live in Canada when I really only live in a house in Canada.
I've always disliked the "80% is unexplored." Yes, because it's open water, space, and nothing to look at beside fish. While the chance of a new creature being found is possible there isn't really a reason to explore open ocean
Sperm whales are among the most fascinating animals.
They are animals very much like us. They evolved in our world, on land.
And they take a deep breath and go down there into that alien world, where there is no light and no air. Staying there for hours. And they go there to hunt, every day. There's nothing down there that can really threaten them.
Which makes me think, if deep sea creatures could think about these things, sperm whales would be alien horrors to them. They are completely unlike any other creatures of that world, and they come down from the strange unknown above, where none of them can live. And they are bigger than anything native to their world. And the biggest things that live down there, they just eat.
24:41 What about the hash-slinging slasher 😱
Phobias are irrational fears. Fearing suffocation isn't irrational. (Suffocation = death. Preservation of life is prime motivator.) I guess it can't therefore be classed as a phobia. Hence no name.
Can you make a video about the inside of the Titanic. I don't know really how to explain how eerie the interior is. The whole ship makes you feel trapped in such a big thing that you cannot escape, forced to die the design of the staircases and various parts of the ship give a really weird feeling. Like a hotel thats gonna get bombed and you are helpless.
