hilarious. I once had a skeeter make my hand swell like that
Is that a special kind of stupid? Or ordinary stupid, these days?
Asking for me.
Until the disentigration, it was the normal kind.
There is a quote attributed to Einstein, “there is no unit of measure for that level of stupidity”, it applies to this person.
Not only to that person. You’ll have to admin, that was a nearly vertical learning curve he experienced.
Learning by doing. Especially when the doing is foolish, ill advised, poorly planned, sloppily executed, and wholly expectable by sentient beings with minimal intelligence. The upside is that these events provide amusement and entertainment for the connoseurs that prefer their forkups to be more elaborate and spectacular.
The downside is you may not live long enough to learn…
I have somehow managed to never do that even once. Once upon a time when I was a little kid and the USAF saw fit to move us from upstate New York to South Texas I found a scorpion out in the yard, thought it was cool looking, touched it on the back with my finger. I can report without fear or favor that I have only done that once.
That takes a special kind of stupid. Any of the kids I grew up with would have put it on a rock or concrete and busted it with a stick … a long stick.
I dont remember ever seeing a hornet nest like that. must be south american
Found one in NH. Didn’t know what it was. Found out fast.
I’ve found them here in Florida and they aren’t ever very big. We’ve got just a little bit of everything here that will sting, bite, or eat you.
Real True FAFO
Stupid is supposed to hurt. In this case it appears that it did. The real question is was this moron capable of actually learning.
City slicker
Brother found a big one empty. A taxidermy friend bought it off him for a display he was working on.
If you really, really want to crush that hive, put it in a plastic (heavy duty) plastic bag (freezer-bag quality) and THEN crush it. To make sure, suck all the air out of the bag and let it sit for 24 hours.
But that would require forethought, wouldn’t it?
Saw a guy’s hand swell like that once.
After that, everybody checked for centipedes in gear they put down in Hawaii, not just the smart soldiers.
I wanna shake that guys hand!
Later.
Say, about 2 weeks.
I can’t see what was in that lump of dirt. I’ve got plenty of dirt dauber nests in East Texas, and they don’t hurt ya. So I did what he did to one. I didn’t know that Mom packed a lunch in there. I cracked that thing open and saw a Black Widow land in my hand. I was looking at it Right damn Now.. Yeah, it was dead, but it was a Black Widow first..
So, what got that guy?
I guess it’s not important, cuz I’m not ever bustin up anything like that in my hand.
Nope,,
I was Done lookin at it ,,sorry.
I got hit one time by yellow jackets, counted 21 separate stings from my fingers up to my elbow. Entire arm swelled up and pain was intense. Quickly learned never to stick my arm in a hole.
I swelled up that bad from one. Wasp in a antenna mount that I grabbed. It was recommended I carry epi pen thereafter, but I have gone 60 years now only being stung twice .
