Some shitbags are spiking peoples drinks in downtown bars. Some young 20-something woman got hit with fentanyl and the EMT’s Narcan’ed her. She staggered out into the alley and legally died. Her heart stopped and she face planted on the pavement.
Needless to say, she won’t ever go out solo ever again.
Housing costs, both to rent and buy. Absolutely destroying our society, massively increasing economic inequality, and causing so much stress for so many while others profit massively.
100+ years ago the slaughterhouses in chicago dumped so much of their waste into the chicago river, that there is a portion of the river that is still bubbling today because there’s piles of rotten meat remaining at the bottom.
Edit: Even more horrible, don’t look up what happened to the fat that floated to the top of the river back in the day.
I live out in the country, on a quiet dirt road surrounded by woods. My nearest neighbor is a five-minute drive away, so I’ve always thought of this place as isolated and peaceful. But recently, I’ve had a couple of unsettling experiences. Twice now, I’ve caught two different people emerging from the woods and looking into my house.
It makes me wonder how many times this has happened without me knowing. My dog often goes into a barking frenzy at what I assume is nothing, but now I’m not so sure. I’m starting to realize I might not be as alone out here as I thought.
There’s a legless, homeless drug addict in my town that will get out of his wheelchair and chase you on his arms. He chased us up some stairs once. He’s so fast.. its terrifying..
100 degrees, high humidity, summer just started. Feels like the earth is cooking. Historically it is supposed to be 80-90 degrees. 90s were considered a “heat wave.”
Our government. Kenya. The government orders police to use actual guns and bullets on peaceful protestors. Many youth have been killed. Just search Kenya Gen Z protests
I bet it’s pretty well known around reddit but, in a nutshell, the Oregon coast(and Northern California, and Washington), at least as far inland as Portland, will be liquified by a massive earthquake/tsunami that’s due “any time now”
“Any time now”, in geological terms, could be decades or a couple of centuries. Or tomorrow. It is a perpetual nightmare through waking and sleeping hours, never too far from mind.
Actually, this article makes it sound less scary. Only a 15% chance of it happening in the next 50 years.
In belgium : Speed pedelecs, the fast ones where the rider is 40-50 (M) overweight, black helmet, gloves, little plastic before their eyes, driving 50 km/h, on bycicle lanes integrated with side walks. they enjoy when you have to jump for them.
The scenario involving keeping a pregnant, braindead woman on life support because pulling the plug like her family wanted would have violated asinine abortion laws. Her child was 8 weeks in the womb when this happened, and they delivered it by C-section 3 months early. Straight to NICU.
Only after that did they allow this person to die.
There are remote parts here that literally have nothing but radioactive waste from Europe.
In order for European companies to comply with EU regulations, they just dump their waste here.
There was a court case that the locals tried to stop it but everyone was bribed and it all just keeps happening.
We also have limited train systems. The steel railways are stolen, put on a ship and sold to companies in Asia. The government then buys the steel back from the Asian companies. Lots of corruption and bribery.
Having a drug addicted stepson living in my house for over twenty years because my wife won’t stop babying him we argue about getting him out here often he is threatened to beat me up a couple times he’s 43 I’m 67. He’s got to go.

Idaho is like 10 miles from here
Rattlesnakes, I hate them
Tornadoes. Quite a few years ago, a town was nearly erased from existence, not terribly far from me.
Seeing the absolute destruction first hand is insane.
Wild hogs. They chased my neighbor up a tree and waited for 2 hours in hopes he’d come down
Every summer, the mosquitoes here unionize, develop a taste for human ankles, and somehow bypass bug spray like it’s a polite suggestion.
Also, landlords.
Dead people keep washing up on the lakes.
Any circle k gas station after dark
Guy got shot at a grocery store because he dared to suggest some return a cart.
Brown recluse
Crackheads looking into my shades outside my window. I live on the 9th floor
Moose. Surprisingly dangerous
Ticks

Bad drivers-this probably is a issue everywhere with road rage/parking lot rage, you name it

Sex trafficking (Vegas)
Giant squid – they wash up on shore every now and then and is a reminder of what Im potentially kayaking atop of.
Brain-eating amoeba that lives in warm water lakes, rivers and hot springs. Rare but horrifying because you can’t see it coming.
Several people in/from my local area have recently died from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Me, I live in suburbia placed nicely in a heavily forested area. Every now and then, I go out into the woods at 1-2 am and blow my Aztec death whistle
Probably the Tarantula Hawk Wasp. Woke up to one of those guys in my bed. Wasn’t fucking fun.

Stone fish. They lurk in shallow waters in and around the beaches of Northern Australia. Absolutely prehistoric nightmare fuel.

My town’s got a scientology office
796 babies dumped in a mass grave
the forced institutionalisation of single pregnant woman and young mothers
child sexual abuse
The Catholic Church destroyed my country. This isn’t an attack on religion, but that institution is the most horrifying thing that exists in Ireland
the sound of something moving in the walls at 3am
Stray dogs that roam in packs at night
sewer rats the size of cats just casually chilling at night
