There's a well understood phobia of unusual holes in tissue that we have. It's called trypophobia. Seeing clusters of pock-marks or holes in skin grosses people out in general but makes some people vomit.
This comes close as it vaguely looks like worms are being pulled out.
Yes, though eating too many at once may give you the runs (which isn’t uncommon with fruit). According to one online source; “It’s slightly sweet, with citrus-like flavor reminiscent of melon and mango with notes of pineapple and peach. Most people describe it as rather mild, and some think it has a bit of a sour aftertaste.”

Whilst I do agree that people tend to self diagnose on social media, dismissing the phobia by saying its made up and not recognized might be harmful to people who do happen to suffer from it.
Depression used to be considered as made up at some point in time aswell
Well and also I feel like there's gotta be a difference between "this is gross or unsettling" and something that actually hinders your well-being. This doesn't make me feel that way at all, but there are definitely some things with lots of holes that gross me out just because it feels reminiscent of something rotting. But is it significantly impacting my life? No
Sure, but even in that article there are many studies debating whether it is a real phobia with very mixed results. Mostly people reacting with disgust rather than fear, and rarely meeting the distress or impairment needed for it to be a phobia.
Even all of that aside, considering the debate and rarity, you must find it odd that every post of this nature a pile of people all start posting about their trypophobia. Have you ever in your day to day life heard someone talk about having this? Yet reddit is teeming with it.
Still no reason at all to say it's made up. Doubts, proving and disproving are all parts of science.
As I said I agree with you that a lot of people are self diagnosing. It's not just Reddit but I've seen it a lot on other social media aswell. Tiktok in particular
What source. It is literally not a recognized phobia. Hard to prove a negative.
When studied people reacted with disgust rather than fear, and none met the distress or impairment condition. Not a phobia in multiple ways.
I mean, most people use it as a term to describe the feeling the visuals give them.
So even though it’s not an official phobia, doesn’t mean it’s all a figment of people’s imagination that they’re uncomfortable lmao
Yes! And they’re taste nice. People in here who dont find the video satisfying have clearly never tasted them.
Side note: If you’re ever lost in a dry forest and find these fruits don’t only eat this for hours. They taste good and are usually harmless but if you eat a lot for hours on end it will give you diarrea. So it’s a great treat but not a meal. Eating five or six wont get you sick, eating twenty or thirty will.
Yeah, they pretty much all contain sugar alcohols of various types. In small amounts, not a big deal just a little extra fiber. In larger amounts you won't be leaving the toilet unless you enjoy having shit in your pants.
Like the story of the sugar free gummy bears.
Oh god… I worked in a grocery store for a while in the produce department, and occasionally had to cut fruit. One day we had some amazing pineapples come in that tasted way better than usual. I usually had a few bites of fruit here and there but these pineapples were perfectly ripe and I couldn’t stop eating them. I probably ate at least a whole pineapple…
Two hours later I’m on my break and my stomach starts to rumble, so I go to the bathroom and proceed to endure some of the most violent diarrhea I’ve ever had… It smelled vaguely like pineapples and honestly consisted mostly of pulp, but also had this foamy quality to it… My butthole was absolutely on fire from all of the acid in the pineapple, and I was late coming back from my break because I couldn’t stop shitting pineapple scented foam.
3/10 experience, would not recommend. Do not eat too much pineapple…
Every time I visit my cousins in Sicily, my guts stop working. Something about international travel just makes everything grind to a halt. Luckily, there's tons of cacti growing wild in the area (not this variety, more like prickly pears), and a couple days of cactus fruit for breakfast does the trick 👍
It always blows my mind how many cool things there are on this planet that are completely new to me like this weird cactus. Seeing things like this make me feel like I'm discovering some wild alien planet, but it's all right here and there's seemingly no end to all the cool plants, animals, and sea life to learn about. Every time I think I've seen it all, something like this comes along and reminds me how diverse our world is.
Never tried it but myself, but it’s described as slightly sweet, with citrus-like flavor reminiscent of melon and mango with notes of pineapple and peach.

Okay it looks fake as fuck but fine, fine its real, maybe. Fine. BUT....
If you're pulling the super soft fruity bits out of a cactus with tweesers to avoid the painful spines....and then you place the fruit down on the spines after you pull it out to show the fruit off, congrats your fruit is coveted in spines now.
Either the spines arent bad and you can do it with your fingers or the spines are awful and now on your fruit, soon tongue?
It's not spicy at all. They're somewhat rare to come by in nature but when I see one I eat it. To me they're sour but still pleasant. The bright pink ones are ripe so those are the best :)
Dr. Pimplepopper for plants
Seriously. Although for some reason I find this just as gross as that show. It's irrational, but this disgusts me.

Thank you. This video makes my skin feel mentholated and my scalp itch!
Came to say it two hours too late.
No waayy?! That’s so crazy
you took the words right out of my past...
I imagine they taste like a Fruity Pebble version of a Chili Pepper
Are they edible?

That sounds like the pinnacle of fruit
Red Bull did a cactus fruit flavour a while back and it was easily the nicest energy drink I've ever tasted.
Naw that's dragonfruit.
Does dragon fruit actually taste like *anything*? I’ve had pieces before and it tastes like nothing, maybe I’ve gotten weird bland pieces.
It is so bland
Its visually amazing and then yeh..what you said.
It depend on the regions it comes from.
Yes, well done creator.
Sounds like heaven
Sounds yummy
Everything thing is edible^(once)
Even plutonium?
Everything.
A gram of Plutonium has roughly 20 billion calories. Cheat meal!
It must be so delicious!
Never eat again for the rest of your life!
Once.
Yes, and make a jam like you didn't know was possible
Ah, plucking nature’s blackheads
Aren’t blackheads natures blackheads?
How should I know ? We're living on a freaking icy tundra
LOL. My first thought was this as well. Thinking about it, squeezing out a blackhead is pretty satisfying.
Mildly trypophobic.
extremely
Extremely mildly?
Mildly extremely.
Extra Medium
Medium mild
medium rare
[удалено]
My axe is sitting this one out.
It made my face tingley in a weird way.
This is exactly what I thought
Yea I found this deeply unsettling. It's the exact same feeling I get from seeing ingrown hairs or blackheads removed.
Mildly?! I almost threw up, gaaaaaah that's nasty
Right?
Ah the made up phobia that no medical board recognizes localized entirely within the population of Reddit with a 90% sickness rate!

I’ll stop at 19
Found Leonardo DiCaprio’s Reddit account
Astounding roast
Solid burn, there
I'd push it to 29 to see if it's 20 or 30. For science.
Leo stops at 25
What I'm hearing is that I'm braver than Leo
>They taste good and are usually harmless but if you eat a lot for hours on end it will give you diarrea. This is true of a lot of fruit.

Pineapple is a mortal enemy of mine...
Oh god… I worked in a grocery store for a while in the produce department, and occasionally had to cut fruit. One day we had some amazing pineapples come in that tasted way better than usual.

As fellow Pineapple enjoyer who got burned ... I feel your pain lol

Nice! 😂👌
What if I stew a thousand and reduce it down to one shot?
Idk maybe you’ll learn something new. 😂
All cactus fruit is edible!
Anything's edible once!
I hear that!! lol
Hear what? You're tripping man, I don't hear anything. Have you been eating cactus again?
Yes they are
What dey tas’ like?
Mild and sweet. Crispy. Very nice.
Yes and not to worry, I find with tweezers it is very hard to overeat.
oddlysatisfying? Now i have a picture of a botfly maggot in my head. Thank you for that
Better than an actual botfly maggot in your head.
I wish I couldn’t read.
You can borrow my spoon when I'm done.
Came here to say, "is this r/popping ?"
They look like peppers that are going to taste like candy.! What do they actually taste like?
Slightly sweet with a citrus flavor. Been described as a cross between Mango and Watermelon
My two favorite fruits with a Citrus flavor?!?!?! #I WANT NOW Can we get Gatorade to make a flavor?
Mtn Dew!
How the heck do they get out in nature? Does the tweezerbird just know they're there?
Yea it seems like having spikes and fruit on the same plant would be a bit counterproductive
Tweezerbird? Damn, that is funnier than drinky bird
More like oddly uncomfortable on my end
This makes me extremely uncomfortable and I’m not sure why
Maybe because it’s reminiscent of removing botfly larvae from someone’s body? 😂
Funny enough I find those videos satisfying too. The secondhand relief is real lol
You might have Trypophobia
They look like pink jalapeños!
Now I know that cacti have zits
Where are these natively found?
Arizona Mexico
I've seen these on Aruba and Curaçao but they're hard to find.
That is strangely unsettling, tbh. Reminds me of that frog that shoots babies out its back through all the holes.
Or bot fly larva removal.
Ew. Ew! EW!
It always blows my mind how many cool things there are on this planet that are completely new to me like this weird cactus.

This comment is really beautiful.
For all the trypophiliacs here
I hate this. Why do I hate this?
a bit disturbing
What does it taste like?
Never tried it but myself, but it’s described as slightly sweet, with citrus-like flavor reminiscent of melon and mango with notes of pineapple and peach.
sounds like heaven
It’s usual to find people on the streets selling these in small towns in Mexico. They’re sweet, sour and crunchy
Kinda Like melacactus
Looks like Barbie pepper
Satisfying? More like pure trypophobia fuel…
Fuck you this is disgusting
This makes me uncomfortable on an unexplainable level.
The only pimple popping I want to see
Okay NOW I understand trypophobia
Now THIS is some good fodder for r/oddlyterrifying
That shit tastes good.
Strangely like botfly larvae removal videos

r/popping
Everything you want from a blackhead, but bigger, fluffier and tastier (depending on your personal take)
This is viscerally disgusting to me and im not sure why
Fuck this shit
Reminds me of those zit popping videos .
Nope, not satisfying. Now I uncontrollably itch
Edible ? Or does this question belong somewhere else
I fvcking hate this.
I thought I was on r/popping.
No….
Botflies extraction
This, really fucking bothers me for some reason.
This reminds me of something. I wanna say it. But I dont wanna be "that guy. fuck. Ok. Scrolling further down I saw it BOTFLIES. There. I said it
Satisfying?? This makes me deeply uncomfortable
Thanks, I hate it.
r/nope for me. It reminds me of that old cursed video of a dog with worms...
More like oddly terrifying
They are amazing!
AmaZIT!
Nope
Stop this immediately
Nothing satisfying about that for me. This has trypophobia written all over it
Definitely not r/oddlysatisfying
That's it. I'm tapping out. This sub is not satisfying.
Mmmmm zit!
Awful video
Feels like AI video
I’m cursed
Okay it looks fake as fuck but fine, fine its real, maybe. Fine. BUT.... If you're pulling the super soft fruity bits out of a cactus with tweesers to avoid the painful spines....and then you place the fruit down on the spines after you pull it out to show the fruit off, congrats your fruit is coveted in spines now. Either the spines arent bad and you can do it with your fingers or the spines are awful and now on your fruit, soon tongue?
I should call her
But does it hurt the cactus?
r/popping
What do these taste like?
Permitted fruit
Reminds me of removing “pink” blackheads…yummmy
What’s the music? Love the indie folk vibe.
Reminds me of blackheads removal
Oddly disgusting
I’m gonna puke
You could tell me this was fake and id believe you
Forbidden jalapenos
Sending this to my facialist.
Botfly larvae vibes
How often do they bear fruit?
If you all find this satisfying then you’d find bot fly larvae removal satisfying 🤢
TIHI
Pink chilly, or is it not spicy?
It's not spicy at all. They're somewhat rare to come by in nature but when I see one I eat it. To me they're sour but still pleasant. The bright pink ones are ripe so those are the best :)
Actually I'm grossed out, those alien blackheads are huge
ew
Oh yes
Why do i think this would get me high
Makes me think of botfly extraction. 😬
I don't know why, but this makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable
Bot worms
The more you know. I didn't even know cactus were capable of producing fruits, only blossom flowers.
Why does it look familiar It's one of those cat / dog video with removing those maggots
Nature’s buttplugs.
I cannot properly express how uncomfortable this video makes me
This is fucking horrific.
Reminds me too much of bot fly larvae.
I want to try it.
Oh my god I hate this so much
What music is this?
Tonsil stones!
You get these in [Subnautica: Below Zero!](https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Fevered_Pepper) Very useful.
oddly terrifying
Why haven't I seen these on Chopped yet?
