What is the rarest phobia?
For me, I think it is the fear of long words.

you know how captchas are always showing you things that look like other things?

there is a very specific type of individual who finds this very, very frightening.

I added some whiskers to a skull I drew, and now the ears nose and eyebrows can be mistaken for a different object entirely. My printer gets an error whenever it tries to scan it.

It has a specific name but it's obscure and long and hard to search.

also using captchas to refine car ai algorithms is defacto building an algorithm which could defeat this phobia.

You know there's an AI powered search engine these days right? Go ask Bing.
There is a fear of buttons, that's quite a weird one. Like buttons on shirts and stuff.

They always ask these type of questions about phobias on TV :csd2smile:

Xantofobia is fear of yellow color and Bogifobia is fear of closets for example

Some participants even have their fobia lists to study and everything v:
