Why am I fascinated by abandoned shit? It just has this eery, mysterious attractiveness to it!

Post your strange fascinations! (No, ass or tits is NOT a strange fascination, but feel free to post anyways)

Space. If matter travels away from the center of the universe faster than the speed of light, what happens when that matter succeeds light? What happens to matter in a black hole? But yne

A caterpillar doesn't just grow wings in it's caccoon to become a butterfly. It entirely breaks down into a liquid of it's own cells and rebuilds into a butterfly.

Fuck mobile. Anyway, but space is also beautiful. Nebulas and galaxies and stars and gas clouds. Space kicks ass.

It is a bottle of Relish (Hence my name: Relish_man) that is colored in CadPat and is wearing aviator shades and a Canada flag on his right shoulder

I once explored an abandoned 30 story Bank of America. It had been shut down and empty. It was so creepy being in the safe. Pitch black and you could tell all of the safety deposit boxes were already searched. Tons of homeless camps in there. We went up a few floors and wrecked the entire floor. Me and a friend literally took down a wall. We blocked off an entire hallway, put chairs in the wall, flipped tables, broke lights. When we blocked the hallway I got stuck in a room because I blocked the doorway, kicked through a wall and made it out. Shit was so fun.

I fucking love abandonment.

Landscapes fascinate me. It may not be very strange but I am a huge fan of them.

I'm not entirely sure but for those of you who played Star Wars Episode 1 Racer this looks exactly like a part in one of the maps. It's actually a real place in some eastern european country

Buying a small parcel of land and building one of these, would probably be my ideal living situation as a ski bum.

It's not exactly space, but this seems like a good opportunity to share some cool art.

Last summer we went to these mines near us, called gilman mines. They have been abandoned for probably 30-50 years and that shit was pretty spooky but very cool. here are some pictures of it

Honestly, Cocaine Cowboys was one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Fucking insane how Miami was pretty much built on coke money.

Drug documentaries are the sole reason I got Netflix. Well not really.. but I luhh dat shit. Cocaine Cowboys was really interesting. I like to watch stuff on hard drugs like meth and heroin just because it is such a taboo and it's interesting to see the inner workings of the industry and how it affects people and shit. At the same time it's fucked up and I don't wish an addiction like that on anyone. I can't find it now but I just recently watched a really crazy documentary on ketamine. I'll try to find it and post it.
