In my case it's clear blue skies and anything like stillness or being relaxed.

Edit: for some context the footage of 9/11, the people falling off the plane in Afghanistan, the explosion in Beirut, and many others had that same ominous clear blue sky in the background.

Maybe not doom, but general anxiety - I'm in Texas which has fairly frequent tornados in the spring. There's a green tint, a smell, and a feeling in the air that puts everyone on edge.

Last time there was a tornader in Garland, lightning flashed and lit up the jade-green sky. My mother and brother stopped talking instantly, and we gathered the dogs in the Harry Potter room under the stairs.

'Nader didn't hit us, but it was still a shock to see the sky a color I've only seen in jewelry, or the random Pantone®© sample.

Total eclipse of the sun

I’ve seen a number of partials and lunar eclipses through my life but I drove out to see totality last year.

It was the textbook definition of awesome, it took my breath away in a way I still struggle to describe beyond the words doom and divinity. Took me months to shake it.

15/10 will absolutely travel for the next one if I’m not dead by then.

I drove at least a thousand miles to see the one that crossed the US in 2017. I agree with the awesomeness of it all- and despite being in the middle of nowhere, there were a lot of people around, so when totality began, there was this collective gasp that was almost as amazing as the eclipse itself.

A heart attack. A sense of impending doom can be a sign of a heart attack. Health line article

Guess I've been suffering from one for my whole life oof

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't worry! It can be a heart attack or simply anxiety! And the best is when it's triggered by anxiety about having a heart attack.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I've been there. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Also chemical cardioversion can be a trip.

When my kids are quiet...

Stomach cramps when I am not at home.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I feel this so hard.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

My surgically repaired ankle starts to hurt when the barometric pressure drops which is a harbinger of thunderstorms here. The more severe the pain the more severe the weather.

It has done this since I was in my late 20s, so yeah I sound like an old man, but it was true even when I was young. Took me a few years to work out the connection between the ankle pain and the weather.

It is hurting a decent amount today and storms are predicted for the whole weekend here in north Texas.

Black holes fill me with a sense of doom.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For most intents and purposes, they're no more dangerous than a star of the same mass in the same place.

There's also the theory that our universe could be the inside of a black hole in a higher-order universe.

Of course, trying to imagine the size of our universe, let alone an entire hierarchy of them where ours may just be itself an insignificant speck, might cause more doom sensation than less. Do with this information what you will.

I think it's the time dilation and spaghetti. And they can be damn difficult to spot. Or it may just be pure irrationality.
