That's the one with all the people on it and they're gonna be mean to me :(

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

100% of people have died on or around earth.

That's spooky right?

[-] Stoatmilk@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

All the others are too far away to pose any real danger to me

I don't have to worry about ever being on/near all those other planets, so earth is the scariest since that's where I am when I get scared.

Edit: plus Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism by definition is in space, so space isn't scary

I recently watched a couple of videos on the Venera program, so I'm going to say Venus. It must have been scary to find out that Venus was the opposite of all those expectations of being Earth-like. It ended up being a literal hell-world.

How about we compromise and say the neoliberals messed up Venus with global warming first before moving on to Earth.

First of all, Pluto isn't a planet. The Moon is more of a planet than Pluto.

The question is obviously subjective, but for 6/8 planets it comes down to "How scary is sudden death?" Because that's what awaits a traveller with our current level of technology. Mercury is practically half on the sun, half deep space. Venus is a basically hell, fire and brimstone doesn't begin to cover it. The gas giants are collections of constant storms. Mars is literally the only other planet we can go to and not die in an hour, but we still don't have ways of making it habitable.

Earth has a lot of downsides, but this is the only planet where Reagan, Thatcher and Kissinger died.

[-] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

counterpoint: it's also the only planet where Reagan, Thatcher and Kissinger once lived, while wielding immense power.

[-] AmarkuntheGatherer@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 8 months ago

The obvious solution to all our problems would be to lauch the US and Israel (maybe throw in the UK and France) into the Sun.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

Look I know Pluto and Ceres are dwarf planets, but a dwarf planet is still technically a type of planet the same way a gas giant is

[-] Dickey_Butts@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago

The gas giants freak me out for sure

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago

How is it not mercury?! Being that close to the sun is terrifying! I saw the movie Sunshine, that shit does NOT look fun yo!

[-] porcupine@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 8 months ago

Earth is the only listed planet containing beings that experience fear. Earth quantitatively produces the most fear in the solar system.

Earth. It’s the only one with spiders, sharks and snakes

Forgot the worst one of all, capitalism

meow-tableflip I SAID NOT TO DO THAT AAAA

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

No "Planet X" option

This is the censorship I was always warned about.

[-] Juice@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

Definitely Nabiru because cosmic horror is awesome

[-] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Earth definitely the scariest

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 8 months ago

Earth is scariest, everyone I ever know who died died there.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago
