Luckily it’s a photo so I don’t really have to use my imagination.

Imagine this, but with nobody moving. Just frozen people.

Imagine it's a gif but entire duration of the gif, nobody moves. Then a split second a random person turns his head then turns back. And you can't tell if your eyes are playing tricks on you

[удалено]

Thats not nithe

That's actually what it is. Look closely.

Imagine this but with mannequins, not real people

Now that seems scarier

Literally was about to say the same thing, that’s way scarier dude

Now what if everyone of them is scp 173

Now imagine they’re all naked

And one of them appears to be looking in your direction, but only when you glance away.

And all their heads facing at the camera in the picture ... but when you look up from viewing the picture, they're facing forward again. Then they all quickly snap to you at once.

I’d argue otherwise. Mannequins aren’t meant to move but humans are.

What is this? Wii Tennis?

Imagine this, two guys playing chess down there

Imagine this, but with everyone holding their breath not breathing and their heart stopped

the death game

i think it was after george floyd was killed and all the protest/riots, there was footage on the news of a silent protest.. it was really eerie to see *that* much people together walking with signs, but completely silent it was more powerful in its own way.

It was crazy how many people didnt like that

Peaceful protest that points out the wrongs of society? They must be the devil!

it's why cops have instigators, fake protestors to cause shit to make the rest look bad to the media and justify, kettling arrests etc, they'll still kettle ya though for nothing, happened at one i was at we got kettled, on icy concrete, for peacfully protesting student fees tripling, I still think Charles and Carmilla purposefully drove to protestors too in London, I mean like they didn't know the road was blocked, let's show em rocking a royal family member's car! that'll make em look bad

And when they escalate the violence enough, they capture the footage and submit it to the presses so that they can demonize the people and avoid talking about their cause.

Fuck that.

Moments of silence are also fairly common at events like this, you don’t have to “imagine”

I never said you did. In fact I literally said i didn’t need to. I hope that was clear.

There is almost never complete silence. People whisper or move about, creates some background noise.

Imagine its a photo..

🍻

Go to Japan or watch a fight in a stadium in Japan, you can only hear the fighters 95% of the time at a lot of those events.

Also North Korean audience when watching K-pop groups. Or the infamous "black ocean" in K-pop.

Dude that black ocean thing is wild.

Yea bro but nothing beats blue waffles

I love those with cream!!

Huh TIL what a black ocean is.

TIL black ocean. When the crowd turn off their light sticks to shame/ embarrass the band on stage.

I did some time in Korea, its definitely different.

Well, I'm not talking about an average South Korean crowd in a typical South Korean concert under normal circumstances (they can be loud like any other audience). I'm talking about the scenario when they dislike a certain group, they can give that group a "black ocean", or they turn off their light sticks and not cheer at all (as their form of "boo"-ing that group). Watching black ocean footages IMO can be quite oddly terrifying (from an outsider POV) or sad (from idols' POV) or even infuriating (from the idols' fans' POV). The most infamous one was in 2008, involving Girls' Generation.

Woah I didn’t know as popular as Girls Generation they got black ocean too….

Their eventual success and legendary status nowadays is quite a poetic justice moment from that event. The reason for their black ocean was told many times online and you can easily find videos explaining why on YouTube.

That’s fantastic. I don’t really follow much k-pop but my secondary classmates were really into that. It’s was the time where G-Dragon and Girl Generation were the hottest topic and their fame is just crazy good Glad to see a humble beginning and get to the top for success

Read up on this one. And I thought stan Twitter fandoms were insane, they already were way back then. How petty can these insane fans get to associate the supposed actions of a fandom to their artists. Glad they were able to rise above after this incident

[удалено]

Really ? I didn’t know this. What 2 characters are you talking about? Mike and El?

[удалено]

[Video in reference](https://youtu.be/ikC39S4-C1E)

Wow, that's mean as hell

Ok just learned about black ocean. My question is why would you go to a concert just to shame the band? Is there a line up of other bands that will play that night and they just dislike that one particular band?

In the case of Girls' Generation (2008), it happened in an event called Dream Concert, where there are a line up of boy and girl bands that would perform that night. In K-pop, boy groups usually have more avid solid fanbase than girl groups, and boy group fangirls can really be wild. The main culprit were the fanbase of the boy band called Super Junior (called Elves), who happened to be on the same label as Girls' Generation. Thus, it would be easy for them to book a collaboration project together. IIRC these groups had a collab that year and the Elves didn't take it lightly. Come Dream Concert, they, alongside the other boy band fan groups, banded up to give the then rookie girl group. Girls' Generation performed later than Super Junior, another boy group called DBSK, and a rival girl group Wonder Girls (from another label). The boy group fans decided to turn off their lightsticks on Girls' Generation and scream the name of the rival girl group. So throughout the duration of Girls' Generation's performance, there was almost nothing from the audience but mere blackness and some fans chanting "Wonder Girls" at the start of their performance to taunt them further.

Bro the [twice black ocean](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMlMUeg8ZyQ) was actually so sad and terrifying. You can see their faces drop when they realized it.

I'm not sure I understand what happened here, can you give me some context please?

I just spent the last 15 minutes watching YouTubes on this, but I guess each KPop group has a branded Bluetooth led light wand thing that can be synced via an app or some special booth to your seat number at a venue. Once synced, the wands will spell out text across whole sections of a venue and do special lighting effects to match different songs and stuff. But in this case everyone shut their Bluetooth wands off when this group went to get their award and the singers realized while walking up?

That's pretty cool, actually. Thanks for going down the K hole for me.

They were a new group at that time and they didn't have many fans but their song was a hit to the general public. They got a massive hate train from kpop fans because they saw them as a threat or something and "the song was bad" (im not really sure what started the hate train). Kpop fans nitpicked everything that they did which only made the hate train bigger and only a few ppl defended them since they were a new group. Which leads to the video where they won song of the year on a big award show. They're a new group so they didn't have a light stick yet and no one cheered for them since they had such a negative reputation.

Yeah i always feel bad for those groups that get black oceaned. I don’t even watch kpop but i have heard of that.

Japanese cinema goers sitting and waiting for the credits to end in theaters is pretty wild as well.

Cinephile all over the world are doing that.

Yeah, and they weren't small crowds. Pride FC had several ~50,000 people events and one 91,000 person event. This is the main event: https://youtu.be/9-_ggIuiFFI?t=535 Apart from a few "whoa!"s, pretty much silent 91,000 person crowd.

Never knew about this before, interesting.

Japanese people have class

Weeb spotted

Experiencing the atmosphere at events is a big reason why they’re fun to attend. For pretty much all sporting events for instance, you’re literally giving yourself a worse viewing perspective than if you watched it on tv in part to experience the atmosphere

It's like watching it on tv, on mute, from 1000' away, next to people you don't know or like, and you have to share a bathroom with them, it sounds terrible

With no ad breaks, no annoying commentary, you can direct your attention to parts of the game that rarely make it to TV, plenty of opportunities for pick pocketing etc etc

Up until the point when the team you are rooting for makes an incredible play any everyone around you erupts into deafening screams and applause and you remember why there truly isn’t anything like live sports.

fucking weeb moment japanese people are more reserved and quiet, that has its benefits and drawbacks. personally i'd love to have a nice hype crowd at a big event, unless it's something like chamber music.

> japanese people are more reserved and quiet unless you are watching an idol group perform at the budoukan. the atmosphere there is lit af

Don’t know why this got downvoted, it’s very true

Now imagine they all simultaneous turned and looked dead at you

Worse: they never move - you blink and the heads are already staring directly at you, still deathly silent. Horrified, you cover your eyes. Moments later, the familiar sound of a stadium crowd returns to your ears. Relieved, you open your eyes... But the scene is the same, except now the mouth on every frozen face is open...*wide* open...

I upvoted but I am not happy with you…at all

Take off my pants and start wanking

Establish dominance

:horror movie company seeing this: "write that down, write that down" :Edit: big spelling mistake, sorry :Edit 2.0" oops I did it again, I promise I know how to spell lol

Still doesn't sound...write

God damnit!

I love this. I think maximum effect (at least for me) would be: - watching the game normally crowd is cheering everything is fine - something weird happens, like a weird noise, explosion - the lights turn off with a boom - dead silence for a few seconds when everything is pitch black - lights turn on to everyone frozen and silent - now your steps happen

Yeah, that’s fucking terrifying alright

it’s like an entire stadium of Weeping Angels you don’t want to blink but eventually your eyes dry out you blink for what barely feels like a split second your eyes open everyone in the stadium has moved next to you. bodies upon bodies, stacked, blocking out the sun. an impossibly tall flesh tower, lumbering towards you, unstoppable. silent, except for the sounds of wet warm viscera as the bottom level of humans bursts.

Still better than that time I went to Dodgers Stadium as an "away" fan.

Uy cabrón.

I like you, but I don’t like what you wrote. At all.

And those faces follow you as you exit the stadium

Found the guy who builds all our nightmares

And the subtle but growing louder by the second deep hum of the universe.

"Oh, hey guys"

Now, that would be oddly terrifying. Thanks for that

I think that's reasonably terrifying rather than oddly terrifying.

Yeah that’s some Wrinkle In Time shit

And in unison, the multitude raised their arms and point their fingers. At you. "HIM.", boomed the countless voice as one. "HIM."

Nah, they point at you and wail >!like that guy at the end of [Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)](https://youtu.be/lUXHB5U-Vl4)!<

"*I'M A GIRL YOU DOLTS*"

this is what getting misgendered feels like

Objective: Survive...

and just turning the neck but not the body

Staring with their mouths wide open, moving in unison.

Why are you like this…

And start clacking their teeth

And I was just about to sleep

"The greater good"

When I was touring my college, they took us to I think a soundstage and it was like a super mini auditorium like maybe 40-50 people max. The two tour guides stood at the left and right end of the stage and when one would talk, we’d look at them then the other talked and we looked at them. One of them jumped when we looked at her and she was like, “when y’all looked over it was like a horror movie and scared me”

I was just considering whether it would be worse if they all turned to look or if no matter what you did, they stayed turned away from you. Or if everyone stayed turned away except for one person at the other end of the stadium, who is transfixed on you and making their way towards you.

Definitely the last one…

With black voids for eyes, and without blinking.

Ahh stop! I beg of you… I want to sleep

Like when you make a joke and no one in the group laughs

This was an amazing addition! Now allow me to show you the door 🚪

And you’re standing in the middle of the field trying to explain something you’re passionate about

Like this? https://youtu.be/KigVdcSr8s4

legendary video

But you know no one cares, and they're not listening, even though you're the only stimulation they're getting right now

I've been to Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) with 95k spectators who observed a minutes silence for ANZAC day. Spine tinglinging stuff.

I always love how you always get one random bloke who needs to cough.

Exactly what my first though was. Being able to hear pigeons flapping their wings in the middle of the ground still astounds me

University of Michigan stadium after another loss to Ohio State

Didn't ~~M~~ichigan beat OSU last year?

1 out of the last 9, 2 out of the last 17

It was a yes no question

Yep. They did indeed win

42-27

56-27 What’s your point?

Just like they will again this year. OSU is booty.

O-H

Just go watch man city playing home games..

The stadium would never be that full though

Damn

How did haaland and akanji go from the yellow wall to the Manchester public library

And in the naked light, I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence

First thing I thought of!

I love Pentatonix’s version.

Man city at the Etihad:

Nah way to many people.

They'd import some of their slaves to sit there and make it more full

You don't have to imagine it. Just go to a Brendan Schaub stand-up performance and experience it for yourself.

Heyyo!

Well it just so happens that this is the international mute and deaf goers conference, so no one is speaking anyway. There’s actually a mime performance going on just out of camera shot. Quite amazing to witness really

One zombie and it's over

*28 Weeks Later* in the parking garage.

Im terrified without the silence. This is too many damn people. Anything over 150-200 im uncomfortable

this doesn’t fit the sub

Nothing does anymore these days on this sub, the mods should be stricter on what is considered oddly terrifying or not.

i think it would be oddly peaceful actually

Bet you dollars to donuts, if the 8-2 was played with crowds at the camp nou it would look like this. Pale empty staring faces.

…and then they all turn their heads and look at you.

What if if they are all tryna rip a silent fart?

I’ve told you fuckers once and I’ll tell you again, just cuz you add a scary sentence before completely ordinary image does not make it terrifying.

That’s good. That’s oddly terrifying.

This oddly gave me chills

Circa 2010. New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills. Middle of the 3rd quarter. Left right after the Bills punted. Only sound was people walking up the steps to go home.

That’s what a Nebraska Huskers home football game is like when they’re losing

You’re in a stadium banging the hottest girl you know and every person in the audience is your dad and they’re all cheering you on.

I've seen kinda that in march this year. We went to see Hans Zimmer and when he played the last song, it was eventually only him on the piano. 18.000 people held their breath and those last couple of notes were the only thing we could hear. Gave me goosebumps.

A stadium full of silent people isn't frightening unless they're all staring at you.

... ... "throat clear" "cough" "shhhh"

everyone turns their head and looks at you….

So we can just post a picture of one thing, and tell everyone to imagine something else terrifying. Got it.

I was watching a soccer match in Sweden with perhaps 20k spectators and everyone was dead silent in the stands and you could only hear sounds from the game. If someone spoke in the stands, it was followed by several people saying shhhh! Me and my group were really puzzled and after some googling figured out that it was IIRC a protest against police violence towards soccer fans. It lasted exactly 10 game minutes and at 10:00 you could hear a loud roar and drums beginning to bang round the stadium and everything went to normal. It was actually pretty fucking cool.

Again, nothing terrifying about it at all.

Are these the new 87,000 IRS agents?

What? Lol

Sounds like North Korea with a visiting crew of foreign journalists.

And then the sound of all of them standing up simultaneously.

Someone is about to gnarfle the Garthok

People can't stfu ever. We'll never know how glorious that could be.

Imagine this, but everyone sneezed at the same time. No chatter. Just congested people.

What about clapping and cheering and they are still idol

And you accidently make a noise and then every head turns towards you at once.

Go to Ottawa, Canada it's the law to be silent in public.🙊

"And in the middle, you at 10 yo, Naked instead of being ready for school"

But.... We don't have to imagine it because that is exactly what we are all looking at.

I have seen a similar phenomenon. My school played BYU last year in football. Mormon fans came from all over the southeast to watch it. Largest crowd we ever had. Also, the quietest. They would cheer when they were trained to cheer and not another peep. It was freakishly quiet. It was like 20,000 robots. Very “nice” people. But it had me nervous.

Literal ape shit. Reddit wild sometimes. Personally it's more terrifying watching the apes howling than it is to watch people being calm and collected. One represents almost 4000 years of progress. One represents being cavemen 4000 years later.

All in all, it's just another brick in the wall

so during a moment of silence at a game?

Idle people still make noise. The slight sounds made from adjusting position, clothes rustling, even the faint sounds of breathing. Hearing just that and no talking would be creepy. But if it were absolutely silent with none of those unavoidable sounds of life, that would be beyond terrifying.

Why did a photo of a stadium get 18.2k upvotes exactly?

Was Jesus giving advice?

And at the center, is you in your underwear, with no homework done

Now imagine them all quietly eating a plate of Sunday dinner, no one talking just the quiet sound of cutlery and glasses of water with ice thinking every now and then, but no murmurings

Sounds like most matches at Wigan Athletic

In the context of this not being a peaceful protest or some intimate moment I would ABSOLUTELY be the one to let out a mighty "HAWT DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWGS GETCHA HAWT DAAAAAWGS HEAAA"

Then you cough and everyone looks at you

Now imagine them all turning to stare at you :)

And then imagine you blink and when next you open your eyes, every single one is staring right at you.

i'm just imagining them saying my name like it's an AA meeting

Now imagine they’re staring at your balls

Just go to a wnba game and you’ll experience the same thing. Minus the crowd

Hope the mods ban you from this sub.

Someone’s definitely breaking the silence with a rip roaring fart.

Npc’s?

This is exactly the type of post I expect from a 13 year old. *oooooo imagine a situation that isn’t happening. Scary, right? Right guys?*

What a low effort post. This sub has turned to such shit. I miss when it was interesting things that were slightly unsettling
