40 Massive Objects That Might Just Awaken Your Fear Of Huge Things
If you’ve ever felt a sudden chill looking up at a towering skyscraper, shuddered at the sight of a colossal ship in open water, or felt dwarfed standing beneath an ancient statue—you’re not alone. There’s a name for this feeling: megalophobia, the fear of large objects. And there’s an entire subreddit dedicated to it.
Welcome to r/Megalophobia, a community of nearly 1 million users who share images that are equal parts fascinating, humbling, and deeply unsettling. From gargantuan underwater creatures to massive manmade structures, this subreddit explores what happens when we come face-to-face with things far, far bigger than us.
