Excellent reddit thread; read the whole thing - it's very very very interesting:
That I'm going to die one day. Eventually... my body will just stop working and there is nothing I can do about it -
"That gets to me all the time. The thing that gets to me the most is not necessarily death but the feeling that my existence is pointless. I walk into a graveyard and see masses of graves with names of people I do not know. A "Margaret Smith" or "James Baker" from the 1800s was a person just like me. With their own thoughts, ideas, interests, and passions. At the end of the day, that is all I will be. A grave with a name and forever forgotten. Sure my immediate family will miss me, but what about my great great family? I will be just a whisper upon their lips as they learn family history. Forever forgotten and pointless."
- Placebo effect
- Dinosaurs
- 86% of species on Earth are still unknown
- Pretty much everything about quantum physics
- How computers work. How can 1's and 0's translate into a fucking website I have no idea
- Pineapples should grow on trees. It upsets me when I see this bullshit
- That people can think in languages other than my native one
- That if you don't have a kid, you're the first one since your ancestral line started to not reproduce
