what is the scariest thing that ever happened?

Christianity almost didn't become the Roman state religion. But be glad it did.

The Mongol invasions.

>>17855264 (OP)
some volcanic mini ice age that seemed like the world was ending

>>17855362
The Toba eruption?

The Holocaust

Great question OP the worst i can think of is something I read about but I won't share it because it is so terrible and so unfathomable that normies wouldn't ever believe that it had ever happened in Earth's history. It's so fascinating though and utterly badass, comes really close to the stuff that you would read in a Conan the Barbarian comic (but it's worse).

>>17855264 (OP)
You just posted it
>>17855308
At least they might let you live if you grovel before the Khan and accept their rule, assuming you survived the initial raids.

Me being born.

>>17855384
just share it you big wuss

>>17855391
It's frustrating to not be able to share it because no one would believe it. They need to find out about it themselves, through deep research into the earth's past, beyond what is known to popular "history"...

>>17855397
man, fuck you

>>17855400
The distant past of humanity has chapters so terrible that you just couldn't believe. You would have to tell yourself that it never happened just to cope with the utter horror of that part of human history. Lovecraftian shit.

Dyatlov pass.

again, kill yourself

My boomer dad keeps all the photos and Christmas cards people send up jammed into cracks in the kitchen cabinets, and one time I was making chili and stirring it and one of the old dusty cards fell out right above the pot. It fell like a leaf though, and tumbled out of the way right before falling in the pot of chili.

I guess if you lived in the vicinity (western coast of Java), the explosion of Krakatoa must've looked like the closest thing to the end of the world that any human ever experienced.
>sudden explosion, maybe the loudest sound ever heard by a human at the time
>the sky is turning pitch black during the day
>gigantic burning boulders and ash rain down
>the air becomes hot like an oven
>if you survived that somehow

JUST POST IT YOU COWARD

Imagine you’re chilling on your island in the Caribbean, when giant galleons show up with giant canines who are trained to eat guts and chase you down

After a while your neighbors die of disease.

Half of the rest are forced into the underground mines, never to see the sun again, until they die there.

The remaining flee to the woods or commit suicide

Unit 731 might be close to a horror movie if you experienced it.

And he still fuck you up anyway

he said happened

>>17856364
Ur not funny

>>17856371
terrifying

>>17856396
this post is antisemitic

>>17856396
jews having to do actual labor for once basically is a holocaust to them

alexander the great was probably buried alive, after a stroke.

>>17856412
>alexander the great was probably buried alive, after a stroke.

back then people checked just for breath, not pulse

". Historical accounts, such as those by Plutarch, note that his body did not decompose for six days after his "death" in 323 BC, which some interpret as evidence he was still alive, as a living body would not decay immediately."


because he was buried alive

>>17856404
>got turned into soap
would be pretty useless soap. Just makes shit dirtier.

>>17856404
>Arbeit macht frei
What an antisemitic monster

>>17856428
ya the chances of that are basically nil. He shit himself to death like most kings with a fever, and then they said nice things about him while plotting to take everything he had worked for from his family. People read too much into shit that 99% of historians dont even believe.

The Black Death, imagine half of your vfamily/village/city/region dying in a year, no hope, no treatment once you show symptoms, and it went on for years and kept returning until the 18th century.

>>17855377
That one during Justinisn reign , in 535-536. It was snowing in the shores of Greece in July and the sunlight was dimmed due to volcanic ashes. Add the subsequent plague, the wars and earthquakes, and seems reasonable for the people to think the end was near

the muslim conquests in the 7th century are a pretty good contender for scariest thing. imagine some backwards arabic half-pagan cult just coming out of nowhere and killing everyone who refuses to submit to their ideology, blowing out both the byzantines (at least in the levant) and the persians swiftly

That makes me think about how many people were actually buried alive historically.
Humans didnt know jack shit about anything.
Millions of humans woke up in their graves.

30 years war

Such a fitting end

The invention of money.
Invention of income taxes.

Astronaut John Young, while on the surface of the moon, had attempted a long jump as part of the "Lunar Olympics" that basically just involved them fucking around and testing their abilities in Lunar Gravity, but the physics of microgravity were still not that well understood yet, and as a result, he landed directly on his back, where his suits life support systems were, and because mass still carries momentum even in low gravity, it was still a fairly hard fall. He later recalled in his book that he felt panic, "The thought that I'd die raced across my mind. It was the only time in our whole lunar stay that I had a real moment of panic and thought I had killed myself. The suit and backpack weren't designed to support a 4-foot fall."
He also later said that he thought the last thing he'd ever see was the Earth itself as he was facing the Lunar sky, 238,000 miles from home in the cold dead vacuum of space.

You're living through it. :-)

Of all the deaths that would be one of the best ever

at some point in past, only 2000 pairs of humans survived and we repopulated from them.

I hope it happens again, tired of all the faggots around me

>>17856396
Ha ha yea and then they gassed them to death en mass. So which is it? They didn’t exist or they weren’t bad?

>>17859018
that's how evolution works, we get filtered, many times

>>17859029
Adolf Schicklgruber was an Austrian-Born Jew who later became the leader of Germany under the false identity of Adolf Hitler and gave his fellow Jews luxury swimming pools and roller coasters while millions of Germans died in a bloody war for no reason

>>17855397
I already don't believe it because if you had a decent source for whatever you're talking about you wouldn't be so sure that no one would believe it.

>>17858974
Damn, I feel let down he didn't die. Of course I'm glad he didn't, but that set up implied it. There's plenty of horrifying space stories, I'll post one of the few I know.
>Once the Soyuz began to orbit the Earth, the failures began. Antennas didn't open properly. Power was compromised. Navigation proved difficult. The next day's launch had to be canceled. And worse, Komarov's chances for a safe return to Earth were dwindling fast.
>All the while, U.S. intelligence was listening in. The National Security Agency had a facility at an Air Force base near Istanbul. Previous reports said that U.S. listeners knew something was wrong but couldn't make out the words. In this account, an NSA analyst, identified in the book as Perry Fellwock, described overhearing Komarov tell ground control officials he knew he was about to die. Fellwock described how Soviet premier Alexei Kosygin called on a video phone to tell him he was a hero. Komarov's wife was also on the call to talk about what to say to their children. Kosygin was crying.
>When the capsule began its descent and the parachutes failed to open, the book describes how American intelligence "picked up [Komarov's] cries of rage as he plunged to his death."
>Some translators hear him say, "Heat is rising in the capsule." He also uses the word "killed" — presumably to describe what the engineers had done to him.

Would he have decomposed? There's no life up there right? How would the lack of atmosphere, microbes, and heat affect the process?

>>17855284
Heh

>>17859018
God willing we're headed to another bottleneck, looking at the global fertility rates crashing. Africa will be the last to follow the trend, once all their international aid dries up.

>>17855405
Why not give us a toned down version? Like one day a big googly eyed monster came down from the sky and ate a bunch of people.

>>17859095
the scariest thing that has ever happened in history is when joseph stalin built a massive spoon to eat all of our grain

>>17858974
Imagine also dying knowing it was your own stupid fault and you will go down in history for that.

>>17859186
>once all their international aid dries up.
are you assuming that Africa will be industrialized that quickly?

They names a comet after him too. Young was a certified badass and one of my favorite Apollo astronauts, he was part of Project Gemini, Apollo, and commanded the Space Shuttle. Most astronauts were lucky to be apart of just one of these programs
