When I was a kid there was a Norwegian children movie called “The hunt for the kidney stone” where a kid travels into the body of his sick grandpa to find out what’s wrong with him (kidney stone). After the movie I asked my mom what kidney stones are, and where they come from. “You can get them if you eat too much salt, for example” she says, and after that I was TERRIFIED every time my parents would put salt on anything.
I read a story somewhere of someone getting them from the oxalates in peanut butter.
They were eating like 1 kg a week for a month or two though.
I was always worried about perfectly round holes in the ground and falling into them. Looney Tunes really over-represented how common they were.
Especially since anyone can paint them on the floor anywhere!
Chubbyemu made me fear gas station sushi.

I didn’t know those 3 words existed in that combination and I’m frankly appalled that they do
Reading all these adventure books and comics made me really fear quicksand as a child… I was living in East Berlins suburbs. The most comparable thing to quicksand would have been a mud puddle!
And you’d deserve it for saying “on accident”
Don’t forget ‘for no reason’. As opposed to reasonable accidents.
Are accidents an accident if it didn’t happened accidentally?
Then they’re incidents.
