✨Get Tab for a Cause and make all those tabs mean something! https://tab.gladly.io/unodos/ The internet made #trypophobia famous; now science will make it disappear. As someone who definitely feels things when I see pictures of trypophobia I was super interested to learn more about it, but absolutely terrified of actually googling it. Thus, I only put exactly TWO triggering photos in this video, and I called them both out. Trypophobics, rest assured! Trypophobia literally means #FearofHoles, but even though this internet phenomenon is definitely a human condition, science seems to say it’s neither a fear, nor is it about holes at all. I dug into the research that’s come forth in the last few years and put it together in one place and the results are pretty shocking. I want to hope that you’ll join me in using antithesiaidia, but I will 100% understand if you don’t. 😉 This bit of science communication was tough to put together because I basically had to google a fake infectious disease, but tbh compared to learning about current events or watching the news it was easy. Quick note: My goal in every video is to make you feel something, think something, or talk to a friend about what you learned. If any of those apply to you, please consider subscribing to the channel, or sharing the video with your friends on social media! A few seconds of effort on your end really goes a long way, and thanks for even reading this paragraph, it means a lot. 💕 Music by Epidemic Sound: http://epidemicsound.com/creator Thumbnail Image is Courtesy Apple Much of the stock footage provided by talented artists who graciously posted their work for open access on Pixabay, Pexels, and Unsplash.

WELCOME!!! ~~~~~ 🐣 EASTER EGGS FOR READERS 🐣 ~~~~~ P.S — I am absolutely adamant that trypophobia is ‘real’ (as in it’s really a reaction that exists in the human experience), but I am also adamant that it’s fake (in that the reaction is based on disgust of skin diseases, not holes). If you go and image search trypo you’ll see photos high-contrast photos of hands, feet, tongues (the worst for me) and other body parts photoshopped to contain biologically impossible holes. This isn’t a ‘fear’ any more than you’ve got a ‘Kreugerphobia’ it’s a constructed narrative that takes advantage of something people are naturally scared of! P.P.S — NEARLY 25,000 SUBSCRIBERS?! Y’all, this is so exciting!! Love you, #nerdfam! Stay #curious!
