Computers I guess? That's about as logical as you can get.

Mortality
Cars.
(And by "logical" I mean the thing that overwhelmingly poses the greatest danger to my well-being.)
Same. One of these days some texting kid in a $70k truck is going to smear my body on the pavement.
It doesn't have to be a teenager in a truck, not too long ago I was nearly ran over by a texting old woman in a VW Golf lol.
I was already half way across the zebra crossing, heard the ABS doing its thing, I stopped, the car came to a halt right in front of me. If I had been 1 step further along, I would have been on the bonnet/roof of the car. I looked into the car and the woman was holding her phone, Whatsapp chat was shining with the power of 3 suns. She then started to accelerate, I kicked a dent into her rear bumper.
Good on you.
Absolutely true
Graduating with a bunch of debt and then no one wants to hire me. AGAIN.
A modern plight that sucks
My ADHD destroying my life
After a while, you kind of get used to your life being destroyed by ADHD. 🤷🏻♂️
I get that
It will certainly be the indirect or direct cause of whatever kills me shrugs.
Anything happining to my kids. Like, I've always been afraid of things. Heights, small spaces, diseases, global catastrophies, etc, but having kids flipped those fears around from "What would happen to me?" to "What would happen to them?" Even the things that could happen to me, like what if I fell from a height is now "What if my kids lost their dad because I fell from a height?"
And the worst part is I know bad things will happen to them in their lives. It's not a matter of If I die, it's when. They are going to have that experience some day, and the best I can do to prepare them for it is delay it as long as possible while raising them to be emotionally secure and rational adults.
Super scary
Humans fucking humanity up in the many ways we are already doing. World war, climate change, nuclear holocaust etc.
Hey trump just said he will destroy humanity tonight so you may be the winner
Yep, I read that just after I commented. I've never wanted to lose so badly
Totally reasonable
Yep. And not long after I wrote it i read some really scary stuff about Iran
Trump
Fair
Western supremacy and bloodthirst. Any non-Western country can get bombed, destabilised, sanctioned to death, etc., and only because these people have no morals or simply don't care about anything as long as they have their drugs and their burgers. 😑
Don't forget about their emotional support vehicles, for which they need cheap oil.
Is there a middle ground? I don’t want wars, political nonsense, or disrespect of other cultures, but I do want drugs and burgers.
Impossible meat is pretty good these days.

Hiss
Dying alone. Not living alone or growing old alone but dying alone.
I dunno - it's just quite sad to think being in hospice alone, knowing that the end is near and nobody but the nurses comes to check on you.
My mom told me to get married and have children so I don't "grow old and be lonely"
Lol I think that's why she gave birth to me...
Yeah thats an unfortunate reality for most
House fire
Toasters and dryers
Old wiring, faulty grounds, excessive loads.
Yuuuup
Vulcans
Those heartless green-blooded bastards…
They made good dishwashers back in the day though.
Fair
Saying or doing something hurtful to another person, because I don’t know what challenges they’re dealing with or what their past has been like.
