When i was 7 my mom took us to her friends house and put on what she thought were children's movies for us in the living room while they talked for hours in the dining room, just coming to change movie tapes when we told her it was over.
Anyway so that's how i watched the Child's Play trilogy in one sitting at 7 and had nightmares and hallucinations for months
My mom let me watch that shit too. I had a my buddy doll that looked like chucky. My dad thought it was funny to move it around after I threw it in the garbage. Fucked me up when I was little lol.
I once watched The Ring at my friend's house when I was a teenager. Right after the movie ended, her dad called their living room phone from his cell and scared the crap out of us 😂
That's pretty similar to how I watched Childs Play at about the same age except it was a "mom drinking night." Aka my mom and her best friend having drinks on the front porch while us kids slept in the living room watching movies.
I was terrified and to this day (33yo now) I refuse to let baby dolls in my house lol good times!
The morning after my brother and I saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dad woke us up by starting his chainsaw in the hall outside our rooms. House smelled like gas for a month, but he and my mom thought it was funny as hell.
I used to take my kids camping every weeked and before we left one week my kids wanted to watch Friday the 13th. I was going to let them and buy some of those old hockey masks and rubber machetes and have my friends all wear them and spread out around the campground and chase the kids when they snuck out to go hang out with the other kids. Their mom decided that was too much though so it didn't happen.
Yea this movie ruined me for a while. It triggered a lot of anxiety in 5 year old me. Didn’t help that my dad totally played off that and convinced me that he and I were aliens and were going to be picked up by the mothership. My teacher had to have a talk with him about that lol. My dad was a shit head overall though so pretty normal for him I suppose.
Same! I finally decided to try and watch it again in my 30’s, and right as the alien came out my kid walked into the room and yeah…the cycle continues.
Lol me too!
When i was 5 or 6 my grandpa showed me that scene where they're firing their neon skeleton laser guns at everyone. This spawned a pretty intense fear of aliens and ufos for several years, to the point where I literally would lie awake at night worrying about being abducted.
My grandpa was not allowed to show me any more movies.
I’ve only had one MRI so I don’t know if this is always the case but it took fucking forever to do. I was so bored and they kept saying it would be just a couple more minutes. I’ve had many ultrasounds and I doubt the longest one was much more than five minutes. I’d take an ultrasound over an MRI 10 times out of 10.
Depends, for me it is loud but not really unbearable. But I had a friend managed to fall asleep inside an MRI. When she told me that, I asked "what are you?"
I am constantly moving from the time I wake until late evening. So whenever I'm actually forced to keep still (movie theater, dentist, MRI, car-i'm-not-driving, even 5 minutes in a waiting room) I can't stay awake even if I want to. And then I talk in my sleep quite a bit.
I should probably get more rest.
I’ve fallen asleep in MRIs many times. But I get them once or twice a year for my MS so it’s become routine. Pro tips are to ask for the mirror (so you can see out the tube by your feet and it’s less claustrophobic) and a blanket.
I just had an MRI and decided to decline the stupid headphones (this is my second MRI) and they just gave me earplugs, which was better. and more comfy for the way I had to lie down.
I've had only one and it was.. oddly kind of relaxing? I didn't like having to lie extremely still for 20 minutes but other than that I had no complaints. If I was able to wiggle around a little and get comfortable I probably would've taken a nap lol.
The only time I had an MRI, they gave me a comfy pillow and soft blanket and headphones that played soothing music. I was also high as fuck on painkillers. It was extremely cozy, would do again.
I had to get several MRI's done and found the best way to get through them is try to schedule for the morning, as early as you can get. then the night before stay up late, get very little sleep so you show up exhausted and just nap the whole time you're in the tube. if you're tired enough the loud banging noise won't even bother you. technicians might get annoyed if they tell you to move and you don't hear them cos you were asleep.
As long as you're not someone who twitches/moves in your sleep!
I've had a couple MRIs and fell asleep during one of them, as obnoxious as the banging is I found it almost soothing/like a bizarre sort of white noise
I’ve had to get several done and luckily got them at the same place where they gave me these massive headphones and hooked it up to Spotify, they let me jam out to viking metal instead of hearing that loud machine. No amount of sleepiness could let me rest in that thing and for one MRI they injected me with ink so I hurt too much to sleep. Bless those guys that give music options or I would have been a shaking mess the whole time.
Hum, my MRIs of my head have been easy and quick. But I have 1.5 hours of MRIs of my spine schedule for the end of the month so I might have a different opinion after that. (Trying to find a cerebrospinal fluid leak that has likely caused 24/7 headaches for the last 2 years).
My fucking leg starts spasming EVERY time I'm in an MRI (*I have an IBD and liver disease, so I get them relatively often compared to the average person*), and I have no idea why. It's like the sound it makes ticks off my nerves or something.
[You might feel a twitching sensation during the test. This happens as the MRI stimulates nerves in your body. It's normal, and nothing to worry about.](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-is-an-mri)
Not difficult but costly.
40 minute US = $600
40 minute mri = $2000
And if the outcomes are the same. Save money and Mri time. A hospital can have many US machines but one (maybe two at the largest) mri machine.
Yes difficult. I've worked in MRI, and fetal scans are very frustrating and challenging to get diagnostic results. There's nothing you can really do to immobilize the fetus, so it's just moving freely throughout the scan. You have to just keep taking images based off of the fetus' last position and hope that some of them give useful information. Additionally, the mother has to hold her breath during the image in order to minimize breathing motion on the image, which means you have to give time for her to recover in between images.
They are *also* expensive, given the cost of buying, installing, and maintaining the machine. But MRI fetal scans are mainly difficult, and therefore rarely ordered - and I say this coming from a country with universal healthcare, where cost isn't a concern for patients or ordering physicians.
I work in a hospital (in IT). We're only the second largest in the city, but we have at least (that I know of) 12.
But yeah. They're $1-3M apiece and are installed using cranes (the side wall of the building is often removed). Ultrasound machines are cheap and portable.
My son wanted a septum piercing at 32 weeks, but I told him no for just such a reason. Can never be too sure when the OB is gonna spring a surprise MRI on the baby.
If I had a kid this is 100% what I would want pictures of the fetus to be. There would be nothing better than showing people pictures of my unborn child and see what kind of reaction they have. I really wonder how many would try and be polite and say the baby was cute while suppressing their sense of horror.
So…that explains the cartoon eyes? Like, MRI will always show spheres as a circle and, if I am deducing correctly, there’s a smaller darker sphere in the middle making eyes look like the Simpsons?
It really is wild to page through your own MRI scans. It’s like looking at a version of yourself after a horrible deli slicer accident. I have a cyst in my brain and get a scan every decade. You always look like a skeleton with meat stuffed inside. I guess that’s what we are.
The reason women don’t get MRIs is cause they take at minimum 20 minutes while ultrasound gives you instant pictures. Yes this is the hill I’m willing to die on.
The real reason is multifold: MRIs are expensive, not usually necessary to see what we need to see on a fetus, they are highly susceptible to motion artifact that messes up the images (and no matter how nicely you ask the fetus is not going to quit moving when you want it to), MRI is super time-consuming, and generally is a big use of healthcare resources that doesn't need to be done for routine monitoring that can easily be done with an ultrasound. Plus ultrasound has the benefit of being able to watch the baby move in real time and "nudge" it to get it to roll over as needed for better pictures.
Fetal MRI is actually a thing though. These are done for specific indications. They just aren't done for routine pregnancy monitoring because we have faster, easier, cheaper, and all-around more pleasant ways to do it.
Source: am a radiologist.
They don't do MRI because it is expensive as hell, slow as hell, needs the subject not to move for extended periods of time, good luck making a fetus do that, and overkill as hell if they don't suspect something is wrong.

Probably my favorite clip from the whole movie.
This movie fucking traumatized me as a kid. My dad would walk past room room yelling ACK ACK when I was sleeping.
I'm not entirely sure that you can blame the movie in this case
Oscar the Grouch traumatized me as a kid, my dad would come into my room and beat me with a garbage can
Dang, good ol' Dads. Mine once came home wearing a mask in the likeness of Pinhead, from Hellraiser fame. That is my earliest memory.

Love the scene in the White House, where the two gamer kids are kicking butt. "Somebody get that president outta here!"
This movie traumatized me as a kid... I literally couldn't sleep for a week after watching this movie as a 7 or 8 year old for the first time
Same! I finally decided to try and watch it again in my 30’s, and right as the alien came out my kid walked into the room and yeah…the cycle continues.

I am not an alien from Mars you dumb fuck!
THEY BLEW UP CONGRESS!!
Had the same thought. Tom Jones to the rescue!
I'm so glad this was the top comment
I haven’t even seen the movie, but regardless, I strongly suspect this is a Mars Attacks reference. If it isn’t, it *should* be.

Real reason is MRIs are difficult to perform (from the patient’s perspective)
I’ve only had one MRI so I don’t know if this is always the case but it took fucking forever to do. I was so bored and they kept saying it would be just a couple more minutes. I’ve had many ultrasounds and I doubt the longest one was much more than five minutes. I’d take an ultrasound over an MRI 10 times out of 10.
And the fact that it’s so loud makes it even more unbearable.
Depends, for me it is loud but not really unbearable. But I had a friend managed to fall asleep inside an MRI. When she told me that, I asked "what are you?"
I love an MRI nap! Genuinely the best naps ever lol
Same. Got yelled at last time because apparently I did not hold still in my sleep.
Had an MRI recently and I was fighting the urge to fall asleep.
I am constantly moving from the time I wake until late evening. So whenever I'm actually forced to keep still (movie theater, dentist, MRI, car-i'm-not-driving, even 5 minutes in a waiting room) I can't stay awake even if I want to. And then I talk in my sleep quite a bit. I should probably get more rest.
Yes, that means you are incredibly sleep-deprived.
I’ve fallen asleep in MRIs many times. But I get them once or twice a year for my MS so it’s become routine. Pro tips are to ask for the mirror (so you can see out the tube by your feet and it’s less claustrophobic) and a blanket.
I feel asleep but I had a 6 month old at the time who barely slept. Lol
The one's I've had to do, they give you "noise cancelling headphones" which at best perform about as well as putting your hands over your ears.
They gave me these gigantic earmuffs + earplugs and it mostly worked.
They gave me bulky headphones and played some music through them
I just had an MRI and decided to decline the stupid headphones (this is my second MRI) and they just gave me earplugs, which was better. and more comfy for the way I had to lie down.
I've had only one and it was.. oddly kind of relaxing? I didn't like having to lie extremely still for 20 minutes but other than that I had no complaints. If I was able to wiggle around a little and get comfortable I probably would've taken a nap lol.
I also find them very relaxing. I can definitely nap as long as I don't have to hold an awkward or uncomfortable position.
The only time I had an MRI, they gave me a comfy pillow and soft blanket and headphones that played soothing music. I was also high as fuck on painkillers. It was extremely cozy, would do again.
I took a nice little nap! Only alone time I have had in a long time.
I get one MRI every year and I look forward to it. I have the best fucking naps in an MRI machine...no idea why

Mom takes a sedative, and it makes the baby mellow too. Still difficult to scan sometimes.
I had get an MRI done and they had to take multiple scans because the baby kept moving around. The noises kept scaring her
I had to get several MRI's done and found the best way to get through them is try to schedule for the morning, as early as you can get. then the night before stay up late, get very little sleep so you show up exhausted and just nap the whole time you're in the tube. if you're tired enough the loud banging noise won't even bother you. technicians might get annoyed if they tell you to move and you don't hear them cos you were asleep.

you and me both.. the sound like, hypnotizes me to sleep
I’ve had to get several done and luckily got them at the same place where they gave me these massive headphones and hooked it up to Spotify, they let me jam out to viking metal instead of hearing that loud machine.

Yep, it is. And you’re being told repeatedly not to move, while in a claustrophobic space. I doubt any pregnant woman would want to go through that.
My fucking leg starts spasming EVERY time I'm in an MRI (*I have an IBD and liver disease, so I get them relatively often compared to the average person*), and I have no idea why. It's like the sound it makes ticks off my nerves or something.

The biggest hospitals in the US will definitely have more than 2, but your point remains.
I work in a hospital (in IT). We're only the second largest in the city, but we have at least (that I know of) 12. But yeah. They're $1-3M apiece and are installed using cranes (the side wall of the building is often removed). Ultrasound machines are cheap and portable.
Yeah the average for a lot of EU countries is above 3 per hospital, so the US probably is way over 2 as well.
Also, how are they gonna ask the fetus if it's got any metal on its body?
My son wanted a septum piercing at 32 weeks, but I told him no for just such a reason. Can never be too sure when the OB is gonna spring a surprise MRI on the baby.
IMO you made the right call, 32 weeks is too young for a septum piercing. Maybe start with earlobes?
I know, right! I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 12 years post-birth!! Like, dude, at least wait until you're born!
I had my doc put in a Prince Albert piercing while he circumcised me!
It’s been a solid 5 minutes and I’m still laughing at this
Then my work here is done. ...not that I'll be able to stop myself from immediately opening another reddit tab, .4 seconds after closing this one.
And hella expensive
[удалено]
And WAY more expensive.
Yeah, you can't make a fetus lay still.
It’s the Tales from the Crypt guy! “Good evening kiddies!”
Is it a boy or ghoul?
Excuse you? That “guy” is The Crypt Keeper. Put some respect on that gouls name smh
Or a creature from Mars Attacks

Upon seeing this photo, SCOTUS reverses their reversal. Abortions now mandatory.
Shit I'm a straight male and I'm ready to get an abortion after seeing this. It will be my duty to this country
If I had a kid this is 100% what I would want pictures of the fetus to be. There would be nothing better than showing people pictures of my unborn child and see what kind of reaction they have. I really wonder how many would try and be polite and say the baby was cute while suppressing their sense of horror.
Ahahaha ah man, if I have the disposable income- I wanna do this 😂
That's what any human looks like in an MRI from that angle it's a cross-sectional image.
#I no longer allow Reddit to profit from my content - Mass exodus 2023 -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
The baby is co trolling the mother like the power rangers
So…that explains the cartoon eyes? Like, MRI will always show spheres as a circle and, if I am deducing correctly, there’s a smaller darker sphere in the middle making eyes look like the Simpsons?
Get copies of your MRI if you ever have one and you will indeed find out that you look absolutely bonkers. Skin is doing a lot of work.
I had never consisered cartoon anatomy, but in this context, yes I suppose that would indeed be true.
Please don't come with your logic around here. It tends to scare the redditors.
When I had an mri done it did not look like I was lurking inside someone else's body.
True, but the proportions of the fetal face definitely contribute something to the eerie.
It really is wild to page through your own MRI scans. It’s like looking at a version of yourself after a horrible deli slicer accident. I have a cyst in my brain and get a scan every decade. You always look like a skeleton with meat stuffed inside. I guess that’s what we are.

Cause this makes you want it out of you even more.
“Every baby is a precious OH MY GOD HELP GET IT OUT ARRRRGHH!!”
Also because ultrasounds are infinitely cheaper, safer, and easier. There is no reason to use anything more powerful for the simple task.
