Thalassophobia is the fear of large bodies of water. Whether it be for its vastness or its depth, the ocean horrifies millions of people around the world. And after learning these 20 facts, I think I might be one of those people. 🫣😬
I mean...LOOK at this! How could you not shit your pants?
So, without further ado, here's some knowledge that will stick with you every time you dip your little piggies into the water.

Comments were pulled from this Reddit thread.

1. "The ocean is always active, day or night, rain or shine. Always moving, always churning, and it always fucking moves."

2. "Rogue waves form suddenly in open water (a good example being the 80-foot wave that struck the Draupner oil rig in 1995). This sheer volume of water carries enough physical force to break giant cargo ships in half. Enjoy your cruise."
3. "Just how strong ocean waves and currents can be. I learned to swim at just a few years old and lived most of my life around the water. Never once was I concerned about my abilities in the water. Took a vacation to Hawaii. The surf was huge, so I decided to swim out to the surf line and just tread water around the surfers waiting their turn. When I headed back to shore, the waves were coming in so frequently that I had to dive down to the bottom to get under them, and as soon as I came up for air, the next wave was right there, and I'd have to dive down again. I clearly remember thinking this was it for me. I could even see my family on the beach, not even 50 feet away from me, which was surreal."

4. "If you tied an anchor around your ankle and jumped off a ship, you would die faster and much more horribly than you think."
5. "Point Nemo is the nickname for the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, the point at which you're furthest from land in every direction. It lies in the South Pacific and is well outside any shipping lanes. Your closest neighbors are likely the astronauts on the International Space Station when they pass overhead."

6. "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) isn’t what people think. It’s mostly microplastics, and they spread further than the GPGP. We traveled by sailboat from Hawaii to the Pacific Northwest last summer and could see plastics, big and small, constantly for nearly three weeks straight."
8. "The pH of the ocean is acidifying, making it increasingly harder for shell-forming organisms and coral to exist."
9. "At a certain depth, sunlight can no longer reach at all. It’s not just wet: it’s vast, empty, and pitch black. There are things down there that will be born in the dark, live in the dark, and die in the dark. Things lurk in the dark that we don’t even have names for."

—u/NeonFraction

"You forgot to mention they eat in the dark, too."
—u/TheTrub

10. "When you enter the ocean, you enter a food chain. And you're no longer at the top."
11. "In 2023, there was a shark attack in Egypt, and it was caught on camera. I watched it once, and that was probably the most horrifying video I've ever seen. You can find it online. Let’s just say he didn’t make it."

—u/JaggedRabbit

12. "There can be something as big as a bus next to you without you knowing."
13. "What always freaks me out: The ocean has no 'walls.' We, humans, feel safe in our little houses. Even when we logically know that its security is a fiction (i.e., something malicious could just break in through a window at any moment), we feel safe when we're in an enclosed space. But in the ocean, there's no barrier between you. If something thousands of feet down and thousands of miles away sensed you and decided to come visit, there's no barrier at all between it and your dangling little legs. For all you know, it's headed straight for you right now, closer every moment."

—u/CanRova

14. "There are 'dead zones' that form in certain spots. These spots will kill most sea life due to low oxygen."
15. "Every time you swim in the ocean, you are swimming with corpses from around the world."

—u/PenDude608

16. "People poo there, and not talking about oceanic life... I mean people. Humans like you and me. When I was a kid, I was at the beach, and a turd went directly towards me. Gladly, I got away from it very fast, but the experience is there."

18. "The distance between the peak of Mount Everest (about 29,000 feet) and the lowest known point of the ocean, Challenger Deep (about 36,000 feet), is about 12 miles. All life that we know of on this planet lives on a 12-mile vertical band. Many people commute more than 12 miles to work, one way, every day. Kind of put things into perspective for me."
Finally:
20. "I have nearly been killed by the sea multiple times. But to me, the most terrifying thing is people referring to natural wonders as 'terrifying.' We distance ourselves from them instead of working to get closer to understanding our inseparable connection to them, and what is born is the schism of 'man vs nature,' which, in my opinion, is the reason we are currently so absolutely fucked."
On that note...sorry for giving y'all a new fear.
Is there anything else that horrifies you about the ocean? Let us know in the comments.
