The world's a terrifying place, made only more terrifying by everyone's various debilitating, often irrational fears. Find out which phobias affect you by scrolling through the list below. If you're terrified, well, at least you'll have identified your problem.

1. Here's one you already know: arachnophobia. The fear of spiders.

This seems like it's one spider, but it's not. There is one momma spider. The sparkly bits are eyes. Thousands of baby spider eyes.

This is a four-acre water treatment plant that was infested by an estimated 107 MILLION spiders.

Finally, this video features Harvestmen/Daddy Long Legs, which are not technically spiders. That probably won't make you feel any better.

2. You made it...to thalassophobia: the fear of the sea.

Fearing the sea is wise. Because there are things in the sea.

Things mankind was not meant to see. Like this bigfin squid.

Go home, human. You're not wanted here.

3. Ok, why don't we come up for air. Way, way, way up to Acrophobia: the fear of heights.

Oh god no.

No, no, no.

Noooooooooooooohgod I thought we were over thalassophobia!

4. Here we are at number four: tetraphobia—fear of the number four.

In Mandarin and Cantonese, the word for number four sounds similar to the word for death. 14 sounds like "certain death" and 24 like "easy death."

5. Ok, ok. You probably don't have this one. Trypophobia: the fear of clustered holes (aka the phobia no one knew existed before the Internet).

If you think the next video is cool and not terrifying, you might be a herpetologist—which means you hopefully don't fear snakes and you definitely don't have trypophobia. If it creeps you out, well...

It can also be triggered by spongy foods, or bread with a lot of air holes.

The most popular image is this hand with latex makeup on it, which was apparently designed for the sole purpose of bothering trypophobics. (The other stuff is all photoshopped.)

6. Let's examine something a bit more amusing. Coulrophobia: the fear of clowns.

It was a bad day for coulrophobics in this British town when a scary clown kept popping up out of nowhere.

Or in Chicago, when a clown kept breaking into a cemetery.

If you really don't have this phobia, prove it by hiring this clown for your kid's birthday party.

7. Want to get away from Wrinkles the Clown? If you have agyrophobia, you won't even be able to cross the street to safety.

But an irrational fear of crossing streets or highways isn't always irrational.

If you don't get hit by a truck, what if the road just collapses underneath you, like it did in California last March?

It doesn't even help to look both ways.

8. Ok so you're feeling tough because you survived a trip across the road. Big deal. What about astraphobia, the fear of thunder and lightning?

This guy doesn't have it—well, maybe he does now (warning: the video gets loud and profane).

Nothing to worry about, because "lightning doesn't strike the same place twice?" So wrong.

This guy got hit by lightning in the morning and uploaded the video to YouTube in the afternoon.

9. Bravo if you've made it this far. Here's your final challenge—opthalmophobia, the fear of being stared at.

Can you handle the impossibly persistent gaze of this preteen? Dare you to watch it all.

Picture yourself in a hall of portraits with all the eyes watching. There is no happy ending.

Okay, well how does the trailer for the horror movie It Follows treat you? Keep in mind some invisible demon is watching her the entire time.

If you made it this far, clearly you are impervious to fear. Congratulations on your future world domination.

Seve Gat is a woman in Kenya who wanted so badly to visit China, she (badly) Photoshopped pictures of what her dream vacation would look like. After her awkward "vacation" photos went viral (see below), a Nairobi businessman, Sam Gichuru, was so moved by the charmingly terrible pictures that he raised enough money to send Gat to China for real.

She first edited herself in front of a plane to announce her "departure."

And then she "explored" various Chinese landmarks.

Gat met her Gichuru—her Fairy Godfather—and wrote, "I promise not to let him and you guys down. Thank you all for supporting me, Looking forward to going to China. God bless you all !"

The Internet loved this story of social media making dreams come true, and started taking Gat on other fantasy vacations via Photoshop.

This worked for Gat—so be prepared to see a lot of engaged couples copying-and-pasting themselves onto Honeymoon beaches.

Kickass dad Newman Chan's in-home "virtual mountain bike ride" is an innovative and heartwarming way to induce shrieks of joy from one's daughter. The simultaneously high-and low-tech setup also puts to shame the Imagineers who make those moving Disney rides andnewer VR companies. It also looks like a demanding upper-body workout. Basically, you'll wish you were small enough to say "me next! me next!" and take this living room thrill ride yourself.

When comedian Steve Hofstetter started telling his prepared jokes about parents who think they're special, a mother interrupted the show to insist that she was, indeed, very special. The result is a comic takedown that makes hecklers seem like the ultimate way to set up a punchline—stepping right into his line of fire, perfectly justifying his humor, and asking strangely phrased questions about pizza.

Anyone who heckles comedians while still insisting on being a Redskins fan despite their offensive name, logo and win-loss ratio arguably has it coming. 

Twitter user Lena wanted to share her 4-year-old cousin's tee-ball celebration with the world, and the world is very glad she did—it's been retweeted almost 19,000 times. Sure, you might say, getting on first base is not the same as reaching home, but it's better than striking out (at tee-ball), and that's worth a little dance. Nay, a really big dance.

Lena was philosophical about her baby cuz's exuberance.

And the kid's mom even set it to the perfect soundtrack—Turn Down For What. 

Various cities in Mexico celebrate Easter Eve by burning some pretty effing cool effigies to symbolize Jesus's triumphs over evil. And in 2016, Mexicans in the city of Monterrey felt that evil incarnate looked a lot like Donald Trump, who has been literally insulting Mexicans since he announced his candidacy, building his campaign around building a wall to keep them out of the States. 

“For Latinos here and in the U.S., he’s a danger, a real threat,” Leonardo Linares, an effigy-maker, told The Washington Post, “He’s a good man to burn as a Judas.”

The people in Monterrey made this touching tribute to Trump in a daytime parade that's unlike anything you've seen even in this fiery campaign.

Paraders in Mexico City burned a Trumpfigy that bore an even stronger likeness to the candidate. 

After an election season where candidates constantly tried to burn each other during debates and at events, where rallies explode and inflammatory tweets go viral, burning effigies are the next logical step. It's nice to see something literally on fire, instead of just figuratively. (Editor's note: this was sarcasm, in case you're one of our commenters incapable of it.) 

Surely, given the long cultural roots of this effigy-burning tradition, Trump supporters won't use this semi-explosive protest method as a way to justify their hatred of Mexicans right? Right?

It's unclear how big the Venn diagram is of people who are fans of the hit historical musical Hamilton and also Batman, but if you are, you will love "Batlexander Manilton." Not only is it a dead-on adaptation of the Hamilton opening song, the parody actually works out really well—they're both orphans who overcame certain disadvantages (Hamilton was a poor nobody from the Caribbean, Batman is rich but has no superpowers) by being smarter and working harder than everyone else. 

And now you've got that stuck in your head. Congrats!

Mom and possessor of globally renowned vocal chords Adele took time out of a recent concert at London's O2 Arena to respond to recent comments by know-it-all celebrity chef Jamie Oliver on the topic of breastfeeding. Oliver said in a radio interview that subsequently caused some outrage that Britain had a major "problem" with moms not breastfeeding—which he explained was "easy" and "more convenient."

It's no secret that this site supports women's right to breastfeed in whatever way is easiest and most convenient, but it's also wrong to shame a woman who can't for whatever reason. Adele was even more blunt:

"It’s f*cking ridiculous, and all those people who put pressure on us, you can go f*ck yourselves, alright? Because it's hard. Some of us can't do it. I managed about nine weeks with my boobs. I mean, I loved [using baby formula]. All I wanted to do was breastfeed and then I couldn’t, and then I felt like, ‘if I was in the jungle now back in the day, my kid would be dead because my milk’s gone.'"

Others on Twitter had even pithier responses to Oliver:

5. George Clooney, because he's feeling the Bern in a bad way.

On April 15, Tax Day (how ironic), George Clooney and his wife Amal will hold a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, with some guests paying more than $350,000 for two seats. That had better be one amazing meal.

While there are certainly wealthy, politically active people who would pay that much money to support Clinton and gaze upon Clooney's impossibly chiseled face, not everyone is happy about the event. Chief among them is Clinton's rival, Bernie Sanders. Sanders and his supporters see fundraising like this as emblematic of the fundamental problems with American democracy today, as well as a sign of why Clinton is compromised as a candidate.

Sanders used an appearance on CNN's State of the Union to express those sentiments, and throw a little indirect shade on Clooney, as well.

While Sanders expressed admiration for Clooney as an actor and a guy, he also called the fundraiser "obscene." This will really hurt Clooney's appeal among millennials, many of whom love Bernie, and only barely remember their parents watching E.R.

4. Margaret Cho, because she was a little too edgy for a New Jersey crowd.

Comedian Margaret Cho headlined the Stress Factory in New Brunswick, NJ over the weekend, but after starting her set with some pretty dark material, she found herself faced with a hostile crowd. TMZ reports that Cho spoke at length about her own tragic past as a rape survivor, and the recent death of comedy legend Garry Shandling, before launching into a rant about the easy lives of white people.

The audience, who presumably had hoped for more impressions of Cho's mother, reacted negatively. Cell phone video caught the deeply uncomfortable exchange that occurred after a significant portion of the crowd had already walked out.

As you can see in the clip, crowd members demanded their money back, to which Cho replied, "You will never get a cent of the money back that you paid." Yikes.

Although many people speculated that Cho's behavior was due to being stoned (obviously they've never smoked pot), the famously herb-loving comic disputed that on Twitter:

While she has an excellent point about rape survivors needing to tell their stories, she could have left out the part about jetlag. It's not helping, Cho.

3. Donald Trump, because somebody made a very macabre threat against him.

This may not be a threat, but if it isn't, it makes even less sense. New Yorkers were shocked (as much as they can be) over the weekend to discover that some prankster with an Edgar Allan Poe vibe had placed a full-sized tombstone for Donald Trump in Central Park.

The inscription read, "Made America Hate Again," a play on Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again." All in all, an expensive way to make a pretty lazy pun. But the fact that it was on a tombstone may be more significant, because that's scary. Even Trump's most passionate detractors (there are many, and they are passionate) haven't called for his death. And even though the tombstone didn't include a death date, it still reads as pretty threatening.

Officials have since removed the tombstone from the park, which came as a relief to many. If there's one thing New York City doesn't need, it's another thing with Trump's name on it.

2. Kylie Jenner, because she had to watch Dave Chappelle make fun of her dad.

Dave Chappelle was performing for a sold-out crowd at the Palladium in Hollywood over the weekend when he went into a more than six-minute riff about Caitlyn Jenner, reminiscing about how she was "beating Africans" at the Olympics in the 70s, when she was known as Bruce. As TMZ reports, the crowd ate it up, except for one person: Jenner's daughter Kylie.

Kylie was sitting in the VIP section with her (STILL) boyfriend Tyga, who reportedly enjoyed the bit about his prospective future father-in-law. But Kylie kept a straight face throughout, which must have been a challenge considering her lips' constant reflex to form into a duck face.

1. Kids whose Easter egg hunt was ruined by sugar-crazed psycho parents.

Thousands of people turned up to the third annual Easter egg hunt in Orange, CT on Saturday morning. Hosted by Pez (of course the candy lobby is behind this), the event turned out to be much more popular than expected, and the throngs of egg-hungry families quickly overwhelmed the organizers. The poor Pez employees had their heads blown back.

Local station WFSB reports that parents rushed the egg-laden field before organizers could officially start the hunt, clambering over each other to find the hidden treasure in a frenzy of sugar-induced mass hysteria. Although the event was meant to be split into three stages based on the children's ages, all rules were thrown out the window, and those very children were made to suffer.

One parent, Nicole Welch, told WFSB, "When my son left, he had a broken basket and was hysterically crying." Pez attempted to make things right by offering the kids free stuff, but only if they waited in a long line. Much like Creme Eggs, the whole affair left everyone with a bad taste in their mouths.

It's a tough break for Pez, which was so thoroughly punished for attempting to put on a free event. But it's even worse for the kids, whose memories of Easter will forever be even more traumatic than usual.

Clearly it was "Sunday Bunday" for Justin Bieber, who on Sunday Instagrammed a picture of his wee bottom posing in front of a majestic lake on a camping trip. It's very moving.

Seems like people are having a hard time keeping all their clothes on in their Instagrams lately, what with Kim K.'s nudie and spring's deluge of bikini pics.

In other Bieber news, rabid fans of him and his ex ("But are they getting back together?" You can hear the whispers growing. BUT ARE THEY?) Selena Gomez noticed on Thursday that the Biebs "liked" (or "hearted" or whatever the kids are calling it) a #throwback Instagram Selena posted of herself, sitting at a piano in a bikini.

She was at his concert last week, after she "liked" a throwback picture he posted of the two of them kissing. Those two are up to something.

On Sunday, Britney Spears went to Hawaii and posted another bikini photo on Instagram, this time in a different bikini. And you know what, it doesn't look Photoshopped. 

She looks like a normal human, wearing a bathing suit, with a physically proportionate, totally possible body.

In case you missed it, Britney's last bikini photo caused some controversy when her back learned to levitate.

But seems like no Photoshop on her latest, except maybe the beach ball? Looks a little fishy, too bright or something. 

YouTube user xmintyx shared a video of him and his girlfriend discussing a math riddle regarding the ages of two hypothetical brothers. Both were sincerely adamant enough in their responses that it's easy to be sympathetic to their two different explanations. But there is only one correct answer, and the girlfriend is very, very wrong.

"The big brother is four years old, the little brother is half his age. How old will the little brother be when the big brother is 100?" Mercifully, this woman was quickly able to see where she went wrong in her logic. Hopefully most people solved that riddle well before the girlfriend—and in much less time than it takes to find this egg in this frustrating egg hunt. 

After getting your ears cut off to more closely resemble a parrot, this seems to be a very tame decision to make. According to the Daily Mail, a man formally known as Ted Richards—who modified his body to look more like a parrot—has officially changed his name to Ted Parrotman.

Ted Parrotman, with ears.

Richards Parrotman has undergone extreme body modification to appear more like his beloved pet parrots, Ellie, Teaka, Timneh, Jake, and Bubi. He has gotten his face tattooed with feathers, his tongue split in half, ears removed, eyeballs tattooed, and has over one hundred piercings—although it isn't totally clear how those make him look more like a bird. The name change seemed like the natural next step for the 58 year old retired factory worker. According to the Daily Mail, he said:

It's something I've thought about doing for a long time. Because I walk around the streets with my parrots so much, around here I've been known as Ted Parrotman for years. So it only seems natural for me to change my name.

Are you sure people call you that because you walk around with your parrots so much, or because you turned yourself into one? Hey, after spending what must be hundreds of thousands of dollars on the transformation, the name change doesn't seem like the biggest deal.

I was amazed how simple it was to change your name officially. I just went online to the Deed Poll website, and in a couple of clicks it was done. Of course then you have to go to the trouble of changing your name on everything - from your bank account to your passport, but the hardest thing for me was changing my name on my Facebook account. That took ages to sort out.

Ted Parrotman without ears

Parrotman also said he changed his name because he is not in contact with his family and considers his parrots to be his only family. He wanted a surname to reflect that. 

This is just what I love doing, modifying my appearance. I've done it because I want to look like my parrots as much as possible.

For those who say that Parrotman is cuckoo or a birdbrain, he responds: 

I'm actually quite ordinary really.

Keep flying high, Mr. Parrotman! 

John Oliver's research team have topped themselves once again, shifting the target of their A-plus investigatory skills from Drumpf's wall and data encryption to Cadbury Creme Eggs. During a short exploration of YouTube's countless, insane conspiracy videos, Oliver will blow your sheeple mind exploring the truth behind a creamy treat he refers to as "mermaid placenta covered in candle wax."  

Oliver was off this week for Easter, but he's treating the world to the short clip, below.

Did you toss back any Cadbury Creme eggs this Easter? If so, it might already be too late: you just took the blue pill, man. And now Cadbury's consumed you.

Take a break from worrying about who our next POTUS will be and thinking about that Ted Cruz sex scandal (ew) and watch this adorable video. Tian Tian, a panda at the Smithsonian's National Zoo, was given a bubble bath in a tub that was just too tiny for the giant bear. Although Tian Tian is more than triple the size of the basin, he does not hesitate to get his whole panda butt into the bath.

Tian Tian went viral earlier this year after the zoo shared a video of him having the best timeever in the snow. Tian Tian also is the father of two cubs, Bao Bao and Bei Bei, who live with him in the zoo. In other hard-hitting panda news, Bei Bei was photographed eating an apple earlier this week.
