No I thought birds and dinosaurs were alongside reptiles, not a subset.

They're as much a subset of reptiles as mammals are, I guess. vOv

Archosaurs or something, forget the term. Siblings of crocodilians.

The fact that it isn't actually cannibalism isn't actually making this any less creepy. Just so you know.

Anyways, I recently found out what trypophobia is (DO NOT Google it!). In related news, I may have an idea for an SCP

Ah ha, tryphophobia.
I have a fear of them/A morbid curiosity, it looks so alien and unnatural to see these bloodless holes in flesh that it kind of comes all the way around and becomes interesting to me.

My friend's pet parrot is eating chicken. I'm not sure why I find this unsettling, but apparently avian semi-cannibalism really freaks me out.
What about things like hawks and eagles? Or peregrine falcons, which pretty much survive off of killing and eating smaller birds.

Are you referring to those pictures where somebody photoshopped a lotus seed pod onto skin to make it look like some horrible parasite?

Not that particular one, but it's in the same vein.

Apparently it refers to the supposed condition of irrational fear of things with asymmetrical holes in them.

And yes, images of lotus seed pods superimposed over flesh is a good example of what is supposed to trigger this fear. And it does look really goddamn creepy/disgusting, which seems a normal reaction when presented with horrible wounds and disfigurement.

Every time I see that I itch for weeks. I have a generally low tolerance for body horror in general.

The reason why I'm afraid/curious from them is mostly because I find it so alien and disturbing for those bloodless holes to exist in flesh, I mean, bread should trigger tryphophobia, but it doesn't for me, anyway.

trypophobia (DO NOT Google it!)
Googled it. It doesn't seem particularly horrifying. I would still advise that most people refrain from searching for that, though.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

It's more gross than anything else, to be honest.

So I was reading stuff about Deep-Vein Thrombosis.
Now I feel I have to move around and check my legs every two-three minutes.

I usually don't react like this to these kind of things I some times read.
