I ticked mild disgust or neutral figuring that I had to save severe disgust for stuff like

"you see your father fucking your mother's dead body"
"you see someone in a gimp suit brutalising a child"
"you see someone dissecting an animal without anaesthesia because they take pleasure in the pain responses of the animal"

etc

Next to that, underpants for a week and eating monkey meat is like....eh, mild disgust

Your brain is a Democrat

Not sure how scientific this is.

i find maggots much more disgusting than a dead body

recently I have come to find certain food smells to be nauseating, such as movie theater popcorn butter and the distinctive smell as soon as you enter a Subway

This is stupid

I guess it's time I reveal my score.



This is funny because I'm a lefty.

I feel uneasy pretty easily. My eyes legit start watering involuntarily if I see somebody has something hanging out of their nose.

Sometimes my feelings contradict my opinions. Like, if you were to ask me, I'd say "people should be more open talking about sex and parents should have healthy discussions about sex with their children and it shouldn't be seen as taboo etc etc." But actually I'm quite glad my parents never tried to talk to me about sex because ew. And I'm happy for what Laci Green does but I'm not going to sit through one of her videos explaining how to use a dental dam to facilitate safe anilingus. I'm pretty much Hank Hill. Or a shy debutante. I probably hesitate and lower the volume of my voice before saying words like "poop" or "sex."

Yeah, that one was hard for me, too. Like, when I watch one of those game shows where they have to eat worms or something, my response is just, "What's the big deal? Obviously they wouldn't feed this to the contestants if there was a realistic chance it could make them sick." I know a lot of people who wouldn't eat those lollipops with insects in them, but they seem harmless to me. I probably wouldn't have too hard a time adapting to foreign cuisines and unfamiliar meats so long as everything is prepared hygienically.

Only reason I said "no" to monkeys was their similarity to humans.

Take this quiz to determine how ignored you feel. I think teh b0lly!!1 probably knows the name of the game.

I didn't get the apple one. Like, it's just weird, not gross.

I usually eat apples with a knife because cutting it into bits is more comfortable than taking the whole thing to my face and getting some on my cheeks when I get mid-apple. But never a fork, how the fuck would one even do that.

I would have a problem with doo-doo chocolate (I don't want that image in my head when enjoying something brown; I don't even like that smiley doo-doo emoji I've been seeing lately) and the flyswatter.

Not sure if the gimp suit significantly affects the overall disgust score. I mean, the child rape variable kind of drowns out minor possible factors like that.

Maybe nose-picking would do it.

According to the site:
It sounds like the original test was very reliable, but this one uses an inventory rather than images, so there's no way to know about this test specifically unless somebody validates it. It's possible that it has no predictive power, even though one would think it would if it measures the same variable the original test does. With the "reproducibility crisis" in psychology, researchers have found that some often-cited studies are difficult to reproduce, and only work when certain seemingly-arbitrary steps are followed.

I guess right-wingers being more motivated by disgust may explain policy positions like "sodomy" laws? A lot of the reasoning by social conservatives doesn't seem to be utilitarian ("this is bad because it will cause this undesirable outcome"), but just based on gut-reactions ("IT'S UNNATURAL AND GODLESS"). If they do try to use utilitarian arguments, they usually come in the form of "this is bad because it will lead to more unnatural and godless stuff," a slippery-slope argument that just pushes the justification back a step.

Haven't read it myself, but I think Martha Nussbaum wrote a book on the use of disgust in moral reasoning and why it's usually bad.

Yeah, I would probably find the hand in a jar cool more than anything.

I could pick up a dead cat if I just witnessed it die, and it wasn't bloody or anything. And it didn't die of some communicable disease.

If I found a stiff dead cat just lying there for god knows how long, I wouldn't touch it.

I mean in anatomy class we dissected a fetal pig and after he first class and cutting it open/tieing it up, it was no big deal. We also had a preserved human heart you could touch... basically drained of blood obviously, and coated in some shit, but still obviously a real heart. I actually considered that if I went to med school I'd be interested in psychiatry or forensic pathology. The human body is awesome. Inside of it, anyway. Not the dangly bits.

I have picked up a dead cat before, but it was my cat and I was upset that it was dead and not at all disgusted.

I've dissected donated hobo corpses before.

Did I forget or miss something? Your cat died?? :(

Brian Ideology

WOULD YOU SHOOT HARAMBE OR CANNIBALIZE ONE OF BRANJELINA'S CHILDREN?

THEY HAD A GOOD RUN

I'd pick up Harambe's corpse and throw it over the fence into the adjacent Arby's parking lot.

all hail

this makes you 71% liberal.

Mac n cheese stuffed meatballs. Disgusting or awesome?

more disgusting than a pile of maggot eatin' faggots who eat monkey flesh, spray ketchup on their ice cream and habitually walk through graveyards

THAT BAD

i agree

I REALLY HATE THESE MONSTER HYBRID FOODS THOUGH. THEY GROSS ME OUT. PIZZA WITH BURGER CRUSTS. SO GROSSLY AMERICAN IN ITS GLUTTONY. LOL CAPS ON!

DEEP FRIED BACON ICE CREAM BAKED INSIDE PIZZA DOUGH AND SERVED OVER A CRONUT BURGER

BESIDES THERE'S NO WAY IT EVEN TASTES GOOD

IT'S JUST A "YO DAWG" KINDA THING. IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO DO WITH, OH I DUNNO, FLAVORS!

YO DAWG I HERD U LIKE BURGER AND U LIKE PIZZA SO I PUT A BURGER IN YO PIZZA SO U CAN EAT WHILE U EAT

i think that is perfectly fine as long as they don't add ketchup then it becomes disgusting and i have to throw up EW FU CKING EEEEXWWWWW

you see the macncheese meatball thing is where I'm like this is just boring I don't care what other people eat

but likely if that picture were shown to a group of the people around me, it would create an entire stereotypical conversation void of new content about how "omg us Americans sure will eat anything"

sometimes I wonder if everyone recognizes the conversation is banal but this is just how you're supposed to socialize, like small talk, and no one is actually disgusted

idk

The food in the image looks great. But I imagine no version of this food will ever come out of the oven (or deep fryer?) looking this delicious.


Regardless, I'd eat the mac and cheese meatballs, I'd shoot the gorilla, and I'd touch the dead cat.

No, it was the cat my ex killed. This was like 2001.
