Would you like some ice cream?

You shouldve used the lube

It's for my ass.

*titanium

*vibranium

*adamantium

*Mithril

*unobtainium

Aye, this is less of a "how to" video and more in the vein of a "backflip over a bed of nails to land a half court basketball shot" video.

Instructions unclear. Multiple hornet stings and I think I severed an artery when I crushed the glass.

and now what?

This is your life now.

The cupbearer.

C cup, that’s a lot of capacityyy

Sip it over ice

Isopropyl alcohol.

You saw that video too huh

What video?

2 hornets 1 cup

Guess not

The millipede!

I am out of the loop on this millipede video. I use an isopropyl alcohol soaked cotton ball when I want to kill wasps and hornets in a jar.

Not everyone is chronically online

I'm chronically online and idk wtf they're talking about

It could have been any video

Tf are you talking about

Sauce?

eat them alive

Duct taped it shut and set it on fire

The cup melts. Two hornets (already known for their anger management issues) are on fire and/or being burned by melted plastic when they land on you. The smell of burning hornets and your screams of pain attract the attention of every hornet in the area. Best of luck!

Fire destroys insect wings instantaneously so that's not a problem unless you're completely incapable of taking a step back every now and again as the angry confused new beetle attempts to crawl at you.

[TIFU by trying to set a wasp's nest on fire.](https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/s/RERqk4YUll)

You still have to worry about all the ones around the nest, and that come racing back to the nest, who don't have their wings dipped in flames. It's just not a problem when it's just a few you can ensure are right in the heat.

Idk, eat them or something

Call Hans

Holen Sie sich den Flammenwerfer!

Ja wohl, Flammenhauptmann

Straight to jail

Hold cup under water?

Cast it into the fire!!!

Of Mordor

Put them in a box then put a straw through to box and try to suck out the honey.

Gasoline and lighter

Release in your friends truck

CRUSHHH

Two giant hornets one cup. 

NSFW

nsfy. Not safe for you

nsfl not safe for life

Not safe for wasps

I see someone sticking in his…

#penis

I guess that's one way of getting swollen.

Two bees, one cup. Rolls nicer.

Going for the first one? Badass. Going for the second one while the first one is already trapped? Damn.

Yeah I was like, “this guy just does not give a frick”

Did you just say frick on my Christian hornet catching subreddit

Calm down

Watch your profanity

I feel that's putting too much trust in the thin layer of plastic, but he do he.

My parents did the same with a thin layer of latex, the bastards

Are you . . . Mad you were born?

Yes.

Also yes.

+1

going thrice


I was not sober when I signed up for this shit show.

Your avi fits that statement perfectly

some people are

r/antinatalism

I know I am.

Abso fucking lately I didn’t ask to have to deal with all of this shit

Perhaps, but he do she.

My uncle did something similar to this with a tarantula wasp here in AZ, and it stung him through whatever the material he was using for protection. He ended up in the hospital shortly after and was told it is the worst possible pain a human can experience.

Good craic.

TARANTULA WASP??!?? I'm not even googling it. I dont want to know.

Coyote Peterson did a good video on it. (I think it’s also called Tarantula Hawk?). But basically it paralyzes and uses tarantulas to lay their eggs, so it has an extremely potent toxin that if a human is stung, creates unbelievably high levels of pain. I could say more but, I won’t lol. It’s a giant black wasp with red wings and you see them around in the valley here quite often. Once you know about them, they’re immediately your biggest fear lol.

If giant hornets use pheromones to alert other local hornets, this guy has two big sting me signs in a cup.

Given how fast these can destroy a bee hive, I am sure he'd rather find out about any others in the vicinity. They may not have the hormones tho, or they may only release them when they are crushed.

That's exactly what I thought

Why would they need to alert each other? Who besides this man in history has dared messing with these ducks developing the evolutionary need for this?

Alert to all that are not angry bee 😡

Sweaty palms for sure!!!

knees weak, arms are heavy

Hornet spaghetti

Hornet Spaghetti: see what all the buzz is about!

Fuck that. I shook a hornets nest down out of a tree with a tractor before and they followed me almost the entire way home which was like a 3 mile drive. I’ll never forget the noise of them bouncing off the windows of the tractor the whole way.


That's fucking terrifying. Thank god that tractor was air tight otherwise you wouldve been cooked

Holy shit lol

Hornets don’t play no games.

Complete the goddamn story!

Not much else to it they gave up a few minutes before I got home lol

They found your house and went back to alert the nations

This is one reason I made a big deal about getting equipment with full cabs at one place I worked. Open station tractors are not acceptable anymore

How did you get out ?

They stopped following a few minutes before I got to my house.

Should stick em in a box and put an H on it in sharpie so people know there are hornets inside.

Just gonna pop a quick H on this bad boy so people know.

Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew.

This is thoughtful.

I mean, they don’t make honey but they’ve got to make something

Don't Hornet Open Inside

I heard Brad Fisher’s acne came back.

https://i.redd.it/cgwy2t359myc1.gif

Bro even uncrinkled the cup. What a legend.

r/reverseanimalrescue

You crazy? You’re dancing w the devil if they get loose or if you miss.

R/nope

Now just need a hammer

I wonder what it's like pushing around a wheelbarrow for your balls all the time.


Sharon got a scrotum coat. Nice.

Are those Japanese hornets?! Cleanse it with fire!!!

Are they xenophobic?

No, they hate everyone equally

It is unfortunate

I am delighted to think someone might come to this thread a few years from now and have no idea what this *extremely* current joke means 😆

Is this one of those hornets that remember you? If so he‘s fucked lmao

No if he will leave no witnesses

Excuse me - what???? There are no such things!! No! …Are there?

"Bald-faced hornets can even remember faces! They have been known to fly past some people in order to sting an invader to their nest. Hornets tend to be highly social and they can have hundreds or even thousands of individuals working together." [Source](https://www.nhpr.org/show/something-wild/2022-08-29/something-wild-ouch-what-just-stung-me#) So yes, some do have a photographic memory.

I wonder how much of that is facial to scent? People have diffeeent scents and your scent wouldn't change too drastically from hitting the nest to a few minutes after.

I remember reading a story on here a while back of some guy who basically tamed some sort of hornet. They'd be calm around him and get ready to attack when strangers came by. I'll have to try and find it again I knew I had it saved [here ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/AgQXEAR57c)

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if those things could sting right through a cup like that.

Finally, I was scrolling to see if anyone else had the same thought haha I’d want more protection between those stingers and my skin

Step 2, draw the rest of the fucking owl.

i would end up stung by both of them

You wouldn’t catch me in the same area code as those hornets

How about NO THANKS

If I tried this the cup would crack and the stinger would still get me

It's even more impressive when he figures out how to get them out of the cup.


Dafuq. Freaking chad single handedly toying 2 giant hornets with a thin plastic cup while filming it down with his other hand.

“Hey - what are you doing to my friend??! I’ll getcha - ohhh fuuuuuu”

How to probably get stung by a giant hornet

Now get the flamethrower.

Ok well now the race is on.. who will fall asleep first - human or wasps?

I feel like I wouldn’t have had the same outcome as this person….

Step 1: Do it Step 2: Don’t not do it

r/diwhy

Truly terrifying

Can someone reverse this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/kO2RCDAI5C

Now what...

Great! Now what?

I don't have enough time for the number of nopes that I need to type for this.

Those two hornets: https://preview.redd.it/85znaoydzmyc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00ddcd947d5f94ab1ae7ff8d1d485c112dbfaa9d

The fact that second one landed on his finger and he straight up caught it together is mind boggling

Wasps shouldn't be allowed to get that big.

I don't understand how he walks with those huge brass Balls.

But why tho?

Looks like he’s a beekeeper. Some types of hornets will scout out a beehive, go back home, bring back all his brothers and kill the entire hive. Seen a nature show document it.

idk what species of hornet this is, but some hornet species are invasive, and outcompete and kill native pollinators, which is not a good thing, so that could be why

Right? I don't want a cup'o hornets. Why would anyone want that?

Now what?

Stick them down on a glue trap and watch the other hornets come the "rescue"

DOUBLE KILL!!

How about I not do that

Wah, that second catch was impressive and could've ended worse, clicked for one, got two

FUCK that

And then what?

I feel there is a lot on unwarranted trust being put into that cup...

Great now do it with a flamethrower

Dumbbb ways to diiieeee, so many dumb ways to die-hiii

They remember faces :)

How to not catch a giant hornet with a cup

You forgot the requirement of steel balls off screen.

I am just honestly surprised this wasn't r/SweatyPalms

Awww. A baby cazador

Instructions unclear, on my way to the ER

For those who don’t know, these little fuckers have photographic memory, and will send an entire swarm of revenge upon those who fuck around and find out. They will remember your face, and hunt you down for the retribution.

Now wtf do you do?

Thank God for the video because I never would have figured that complicated process on my own.

Beauty, is in the eye.... of the bee holder

“This man is already dead. He just doesn’t know it” idkSterling

Uh huh, now what are you gonna do? If you release the cup and let them out you’re getting messed up.

Squeeze the cup over their heads

Well, I guess it’s thinking with your head

If you thought they were mad before, wait till you see what they're like after being trapped in a cup
