Potential Movie Spoilers (Its kinda the core plot tho)

Yes this is obviously in reference to Final Destination Movie/media-franchise

By vehicle I mean like anything. Bus, Train, Boat, Submarine (like the Titan lol), Plane, anything you would plausibly travel on in your lifetime.

    I don’t put stock in the paranormal/ supernatural, but I’ve seen every one of those movies, and I know that if you try to get out of the situation, you’ll end up in an even worse Rube Goldberg machine of death.

      Rusted. Tetanus. Nice one. I overlooked it. You tried to capitalize. But I caught you.

        Which was wrong. Tetanus is not caused by rust. It’s caused by punctures. You can get tetanus from a perfectly metallic silver nail. Rust just provides handy nooks and crannies for the tetanus microbe to sit and wait. If I remember right, it was a fishing hook on an unused pole in an otherwise clean house/ closet. Unlikely it would have tetanus lingering.

          You’re right about tetanus not being caused by rust. But it’s not caused by sheer punctures, it is a serious disease of the nervous system caused by a toxin-producing bacterium called Clostridium tetani. It can often be found in soil, but yes, if you leave a perfectly clean silver nail in that soil (which is infected by the bacterium), then yes, you can get infected.

    I’d make them a bet. I’ll give them 10.000 euro right now, and if I don’t die, they give me 20k right back. Surely, if they had a true vision, they’d go for it, right?

    If I had less time to think it over, I’d probably just laugh at them really really hard.

    For me it would depend on how vehemently they oppose going and how much money is invested in the travel. $20 taxi? Sure okay, we’ll walk or take a scooter. $1000 plane ticket? Fuck it, may as well die.

    I would continue on without a care in the world because superstitious people are a waste of my time. It’s just confirmation biases the game.

    They probably have this idea on any travel. If it doesn’t happen it’s forgotten. Selection bias.

    As someone with mild travel anxiety, I’d probably be the one with the vision. And even if not, it would make a good excuse to skip the trip and stay home like I wanted to do in the first place.

      This, LOL. My credulity is inversely proportional to how badly I want to go on this trip.

    I’m currently marathoning the movies, and I’m like, one of those people who would bash the person freaking out. but, if it happened once, and turned out to be true, I would believe them if they said it a second time. also, I would not really care.

    Long ago I had a friend who claimed something similar. In front of the camp fire, he claimed he was feeing spirits inside of him and that he became possessed. He gained attention from the group for about a minute. At first they asked if he was okay. He continued to act possessed, so they stopped being kind. They yelled at him, made fun of him, imitated him….

    I sat next to him and quietly asked if he was okay and needed anything. I didn’t really know what his reaction would be because I didn’t know him. He was a friend of a friend. Still, I told him that him and I could leave to take a walk and talk. He didn’t respond and simply stared at the fire. He ignored us for the rest of that night.

    The following morning, he decided to act ignorant. “What happened? I don’t remember anything.” The group was pissed at him and barely talked to him. He hasn’t been invited to anything ever since.

    This whole thing was very unfortunate. It’s a memory of mine that is painful. I understand back then we were teenagers. Teenagers explore their identities, sometimes in cringy ways. That’s normal. But still, the event isolated him from the group. And if I talk about this whole incident to anyone who was there that night, they still resent him.

    I suppose this is a long answer to your question. If someone claimed they had a vision of the vehicle crashing/exploding and everyone dying, nobody would believe them and they’d be in for a tough time.

      I feel like supernatural movies are just made to trigger schizophrenia and cause people to start being paranoid about everything.

      Like imagine someone borderline schizophrenic but very chill, then they see The Truman Show and now they go full paranid mode.

      Or worse, Inception might cause a suicide.

    Even if you don’t believe them, they obviously won’t be able to enjoy the vacation unless you avoid the circumstances they’re afraid of—so you might as well humor them.

    I’d make them prove it, tell me something that happened or was said or seen in the vision that they couldn’t have known. Something which can be verified.

    Chances are they can’t.

    I have had very serious conversations with family members regarding vacations and them worrying about where I was going.

    Went anyway and had a great time.

    The mere act of being told that something bad will happen changes your actions and choices on a subconscious level thereby likely avoiding the exact chain of events that lead to the moment seen in the vision without doing anything overtly different.
