Fear of Large Things

Megalophobia: Fear of Large Things

A place to post images of all things large, particularly ones that are "triggers" for those with megalophobia. Examples might include large creatures/objects underwater, buildings, statues, ships, etc.

This is closely related to megalohydrothalassophobia: fear of large creatures or objects underwater.

RULES:

  1. Be Respectful - Verbal abuse, threats, bigotry, and prejudice of any kind are not welcome here and will get you permanently banned.

  2. Reposts - Posts from within the past 90 days or that are in the top 25 of all time are not allowed.

  3. Titles - Please try to make titles as descriptive as possible regarding the content of the submission. This helps the search function work as intended, and thus cuts down on the number of reposts. Avoid titles such as "Nope," "I think this belongs here," etc.

  4. Spoilers - If your submission contains a spoiler from a recently released piece of media, please mark it accordingly.

  5. AI Art - Pieces of art generated by artificial intelligence software are not allowed at this time. This is not the same as computer-generated effects created by people, which are allowed (use the "Imaginary" tag).

The zucchini did not wake up the mods. Then someone posted a dang normal stingray. And so, as promised, please let your phobia be triggered by this giant slice of pizza. Zounds!

Maybe this will wake them up? Next will be an over stuffed sofa in a normal room.

Photo of inside the new confinement enclosure at Chernobyl power plant.

I took this image of a photo that was on the wall of the visitors centre at the plant. Really gives a sense of scale at how big it is. Kudos to the original photographer who ever they are.

Since this sub has turned into just posting things that are slightly larger than normal, this is my turn to try and grift karma with a TERRIFYINGLY large zucchini! Oh my phobia!

Will the mods finally wake up for this one?
