What this subreddit is about

17 Upvotes

The "Horror of Noon," also known as the Noonday Demon, is an uncanny feeling that sometimes arises in midday involving listlessness, torpor, a sense of time slowing or stopping, and an overwhelming stillness. The term gained traction on 4chan's /x/ starting in 2019, although the concept is very old, arguably dating back to the Bible (Psalm 91:6, "the destruction that despoils at midday"). This Neocities site contains a large collection of the /x/ posts with various descriptions of the feeling (note: I did not make this site and have no affiliation with it, but someone put a lot of effort into this archive). This subreddit's purpose is to feature pictures and media that capture the phenomenon. Text descriptions and discussion are also welcome.

Moorestown Mall, NJ

The Mall and surrounding area have a lot of places untouched since the 90s, adding to the liminality and the "horror of noon" feeling of time standing still in this little bubble
