This image is so disturbing — I don’t know whether to be repelled or aroused. Most of you will be screaming “REPELLED! REPELLED!” so I’ll put it below the fold.
Anyone else’s brain totally confused? Just me? OK.

Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal
A dozen randomly place eyeballs would finish the effect
It’s missing a dozen randomly place eyeballs.
Yep, that’s a thing
I feel about the same way as I did watching Laliari and Fred make out in Galaxy Quest.
That would give kissing and, uh, other things a new dimension. :D I expect it has a ‘freak people out’ component because cold sores and the like.
Isilzha Mir:
That was a grand scene! Oooh baby, wrap me in tentacles…
There’s also a trypophobia element to it.
Suckers on the mouth gives new meaning to lip-stick.
I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be some sort of cephalopod-person or the effects of some sort of horrible herpes virus. Or both.
PZ:
I had to look that up. Huh. I’m always surprised by the things people get scared by.
Try doing an image search for “trypophobia trump”.
the horror…
Chigau:
No. He’s quite terrifying enough. Besides, I posted a Trump Hole this morning.
Those mandibles are weird, and I don’t see a radula. What species is it?
that is AWESOME.
I just keep thinking about what it would feel like if it were real. Want to poke.
It looks contagious. And painful.
Any way you could use these is going to end with someone stuck to someone else in a compromising position.

If you google trypophobia, it’s mostly about clustered holes in flesh. I suspect that Surinam toads might be partially to blame. Also, botflies.

You could probably run it through Deep Dreamer and get those eyeballs and a few puppy noses besides.
Long time lurker very rare poster but I felt I could add my $0.02 here.
I experience what is probably a weak response to this thing called trypophobia.
I would say it’s not so much a phobia as a sensitivity responding with a skin crawling heeby-jeebys creepy kind of response. Not fear as in phobia…just ick. What’s a medical term for that kind of sensitivity but not fear?
We had this done to our kids so we could stick them to the windows while cleaning the room,
This ,uh toy, is for trypophiliacs. Different strokes…. pun intended.
