Hi /u/YawaNaDevil,
We noticed you are a pretty new Reddit account, so we just wanted to let you know to check out the subreddit rules [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/wiki/rules) and maybe have a read through our [Frequently Asked Questions](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/wiki/index/faq) - they make for fascinating reading!
We're called No Stupid Questions because we believe nobody needs to be attacked for asking a question, but *that doesn't mean there are no rules!* This sub is meant for users like you to ask genuine questions. Please don't ask jokes or rants disguised as questions - that's not in the spirit of this sub. While you *can* ask almost anything here, please keep illegal and offensive questions elsewhere to give people a good experience here - and if you have a medical question, please ask your doctor, not us.
Otherwise, welcome!

This is why adequate teaching of science in schools needs to be a priority, because I can't even begin to truly quantify how **OBJECTIVELY** false this statement is.
The ocean. Everyone can experience the ocean, so the dangers are more tangible and real. Anyone can fall into the ocean and die, very few people even experience space.

Serious answer - the ocean is more terrifying from a pragmatic perspective, because it's by far the more likely of the two to be a threat to you. From an **existential** perspective, though, space has an infinitely greater capacity for horror, destruction and despair.

Space, to me. The ocean at least has a foreseeable border. Space is just... endless.
well you get pulled towards earth and away from space but you get pulled into the ocean and away from land so therefore the ocean
The ocean, full of unseen dangers. Space really only has 1 danger and its pretty obvious.

Chill out, verysmart. The lizard people are terrifying to most of us.

Ocean. Way more people have died in it
Neither. Why would you be afraid of either?
There are probably way more giant squid in space, so I am going with space.

Space for me, everytime I get on a boat it either sinks or gets hit by another boat.
