Counterpoint: you (reader) should give in to that gnawing feeling of curiosity. One little peek never hurt anyone.

(Really, it’s not that bad.)

Not everyone is triggered by those pictures, to me they don't look gross at all. I can scroll through pics of lotus seed pods all day.

What’s weird is the images in the article freaked me out. The Google search images did nothing for me. Maybe I was just primed / warned ?

It's the hands...it's all you get to see with duckduckgo. The hands are nasty...

I can put myself in the headspace of finding it creepy, but by default it just looks like stuff to me. Regular objects. In the case of honeycomb it can actually look beautiful, though.

I searched it, and, for me it was interesting and I became curious. Some pictures were obviously doctored and made to make you feel something, others, were just.. interesting.

I don’t get what the big deal is. Most of it was just some fake images of holes in hands and stuff? And the seed pod is scary for some reason?

Some might take that as an indication that you don't have trypophobia.
