And spontaneous human combustion
Ah, for me, it was acid rain.
Oh, are you referencing Stop Drop and Roll?
No not at all. This was the kind of thing that would keep me up as a child. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_human_combustion
I was thinking Repo Man.
Due to an ungodly amount of rain making water rise up from the underground, we have had a couple of actual quicksand incidents along the coast here in Denmark. Fortunately no fatalities as far as i know. But that childhood fear of quicksand has suddenly become very real around here...
Don't forget
Holy shit. I flew to St Lucia last year. I thought our flight path down the coast and across the islands was to abide by flight safety regulations to not be so far away from a run way, and to avoid the massive hurricane. Now that I've done my own research, it's obvious that our flight path was determined to avoid the Bermuda triangle
what i love about this phenomenon is that it kind of debunks these things, like yeah if these things were actually real (i mean quicksand is real but you're almost guaranteed to never encounter it) they WOULD be a big problem and thus their reality would be quite uncontroversial.
Kids just haven't really developed the concept of talking about things as if they're real despite not actually believing in them, so to them if people talk about something surely they have to think it's real!
