    Trypophabia ⚠️

      TIL I have Trypophobia!

        Like most phobias I think most people experience discomfort with this imagery but to really have a phobia it needs to be an unreasonable level of anxiety I think.

        IDK why we have a hard wired aversion to these. It might be a vestigial response to some kind of predator or danger which is no longer relevant.

      I didn’t even understand what I was seeing and I started shivering instantly. Now feel a deep urge to scrub my skin with steel wool.

    i guess woodpeckers don’t get trypophobia

  • Mothra@mander.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    This is amazing. I have a question though: How come only the author woodpecker can remove the acorns but not other woodpeckers? What kind of ID tech are these guys using?

    source
    • riskable@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Since they don’t have fingerprints they ID the pecker.

      They jam the acorn in hard enough that you have to break the acorn to get it out. If they put it in too small a hole, though, it breaks and rots. Too big a hole and they get taken.

    CMM: Trypophobia should be tagged as NSFW.

    source
    • FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Genuine questions for the purpose of discussion: should photos of spiders also be marked as NSFW for arachnophobia? What other phobias should and shouldn’t be considered in this?

      I do not have any genuine phobias, so I concede that I’m speaking out of my limited knowledge coming only from years of solo and group therapy for other issues, but NSFW tags are intended to block images that you wouldn’t want your boss (or mom, or general public) to see you looking at due to them being sexual or otherwise inappropriate. There are a lot of things that are going to trigger phobias and other very difficult feelings for a lot of people, but I don’t think it’s feasible to ask that everyone accommodate all possibilities when posting images or sharing stories. I think it’s a positive thing to tag content warnings in bodies of text, for example, and at the same time I think that a person that can have an extreme reaction to what is otherwise an innocuous image due to a personal issue needs to take responsibility for it.

      I hope this doesn’t come across as minimizing the very real struggles that people with phobias have to deal with on a daily basis, and as a whole I support making public spaces more accessible in general.

      • Phlimy@jlai.lu ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        I definitely think content warnings (not specifically “NSFW”) are ideal for this. Sure, the line between what should and shouldn’t be content-warned is blurry, and you don’t need to go through every highly-specific issue someone might have with your post, but things like tripophobia (or arachnophobia) are pretty widely known so it makes sense to warn about it imo. Especially for image posts since you can’t really just “not look at it” if it pops up in your feed.

        And whether or not the warning is precisely about a “phobia” isn’t relevant imo. It’s just a nice thing to do, as it avoids causing others to feel suddenly itchy and uncomfortable for several minutes.

        So no, I wouldn’t tag spider images as NSFW, but I’d definitely add a “CW: spider” if Lemmy supported it 🙂

        I think trypophobia is a “meme” phobia on the internet.

        Like how everyone says “oh that’s my OCD”. It’s not really OCD (and it’s somewhat demeaning to people that do really have OCD), they’re just picky/finicky/particular.

        Same with trypophobia. It may be a crippling phobia to a small amount of people, but it’s unsettling at most to a lot of people. Like that. Lots of people don’t have a serious phobia around a bunch of holes (some people do, I’m not saying it’s not real)…it just makes them feel really uncomfortable in a weird and almost indescribably reason.

      We have AI which is good at image recognition. Just use this little schmuck to add tags to posts and allow users to filter tags. Would also helo with Trump/Elon filtering etc.

      It’s not a phobia, it’s just gross. Everybody thinks it looks gross.

      That’s trypophobia . Don’t Google it though, might come up with a lot of triggering pictures.

    So you’re saying if you’re lost in the woods in winter, follow wood peckers to their food trees to get free ripe acorns?

    Fantastic news.
