  A cognitohazard is anything that is hazardous to perceive. For example, in the short story BLIT, there are certain patterns and images that cause the brain to shut down when you look at them, sort of like a computer crashing. A very benign real life example is earworms–really catchy songs that stick in your head after you listen to them. Just by listening to a song, it can cause you some form of harm (really just a mild annoyance, but still).

  “Adversarial patches” are a complicated topic, and this video does a good job explaining them. He never gets hit by the car, by the way, so don’t get your hopes too high

  Another fun rabbit hole is infohazards. Things that are hazardous just to know. Like, you can see your nose, you’re aware of your breathing, and you can feel your tongue. Roko’s Basilisk is a hypothetical one with plenty of videos about it

    Wait, people don’t know they can see their noses?

      Most people’s brains just kinda filter it out, and when they become aware of the fact that it’s visible it can be distracting

        Makes sense. Now I’m trying to feel my tongue but so far, nothing

      Roco’s Basilisk is an information hazard, not a cognitohazard.

        They mentioned it because I mentioned infohazards at the end of my comment, since they’re a related subject

    Another rxample of infohazards is simply knowing something that other people would also really like to know, such as state secrets, nuclear launchcodes, etc

    You knowing them (assuming other people know that you know them) puts you at risk
