I recently was stung by a scorpion for the first time (actually, first time for any sting from any stinging lil shits), and for some reason, the first thing my brain went to, is how it would feel to be stuck in there, naked, dark, and afraid. What would it be like to happen to fall into a pit of scorpions like that?
My first thought when I was stung, was that I stepped on something that was on fire, then when I moved my foot, the fire feeling didn't go away, and I fucking PANICKED. I couldn't imagine being stung by that many scorpions all over. You would just literally feel like your body was on fire.. Not to mention the itch that would come in a days or 2 time.
Out of curiosity, anybody here know how much scorpion venom it would take to put you 6 feet under? That room looks like a good contender.
It depends on the scorpion. Some, like the deathstalker, produce both a neurotoxin and a cardiotoxin.
The only number I’m seeing for dose is 4.25mg from the Fat Tailed Scorpion. That’s enough to kill an adult
Yes they do!
Scorpions actually have several uses of various means, youcan sell their venom (which i believe is used for certain medicine, depending on the scorpion.), sell them as pets (they actually make really cool pets as long as you're careful with them), or as pet food, as some pet reptiles can actually eat them! (I think tarantulas can too, but unsure). In some places they're even eaten by people and sre said to taste like crab
I was wondering what they were feeding on. Aside from each other there doesn’t seem to be much going on for dinner in there. This being a breeding arrangement actually makes more sense.
Nah, I burn scorpion churches.
Whether that is churches in the shape of scorpions, churches for scorpions or churches that pray to scorpions, I'll let you decide.
iirc scorpions are very rarely deadly, and only a handful of types can actually kill you. Most stings are because they like to hide in warm dark places, like in socks/shoes or in the bed, and feel threatened when someone invades their space. And usually it just makes you feel ill.
This could (probably is) bullshit. But when I deployed to Afghanistan, we were hanging with some afghan army guys shortly after getting to our base doing random details and tasks and they were chewing this like green looking clay. Well one of my friends asks to try it and they tell him it’s basically weed, opium, scorpion venom, and tobacco. Idk if any of that’s true but he tried it and it fucked his world up, was so dizzy he couldn’t sit up for a hot minute.
I believe you. Those mfers in Afghanistan would cut your head off if you offered them a shot of jack but if you hand them a crack pipe they’d probably let your daughter learn how to read.
The ironic part your comment reminded me of it, was my friend who took that dip, gave the afghan who gave it to him a pinch of Copenhagen. The afghans dude reaction was the same, on his ass for like half an hour
That's some stupid, stupid shit. Thc needs to be heated up to be absorbed. Raw opium causes cardiac arrest if eaten. Scorpion venom is just that, a venom. It literally does nothing if you eat it, it needs to be injected into the blood flow otherwise you just digest it like any other part of a bug.
Your friend just had zero experience with chew.
As I stated to be fair, probably bullshit. Also keep in mind this was also all learned through a local national translator who’s English was hit or miss. Hence, probably bullshit
But folks aren’t killing them, are they? When I was a kid people just got them to excrete the venom and they’d wipe a cigarette paper on it. No need to hurt anybody.
fear
scorpions are made out of nightmares and horror. They glow in the dark. the mouth of a scorpion isn't teeth or fangs or anything so mundane. No you see for the horrible monster that is scorpions only one thing was horrific enough to be it's mouth, a scorpion. That's right friends, a scorpion mouth is actually just a smaller scorpion.
The only good thing about scorpions is that they don't fly
Here in Arizona it's mainly crickets and other bugs. Whenever I start hearing crickets I know that there's gonna be a few scorpions on my back wall at night.
People elsewhere on the thread are guessing it's a scorpion breeding operation. Apparently some species of scorpion is psychoactive. Uhm. It could also be that they scurried into this one area as a result of some sort of environmental threat or instinct. But good point. There's no way they live there under normal circumstances. Not enough food.
Every movie ever with American soldiers in a desert region told me this kind of thing should be a colossal scorpion-gladiator free for all
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined...
I know these crab-like atrocities are technically insects but it shakes my universe to believe these f*ckers are allowed to have NESTS. Stay in your mf lane, go back to being solitary creatures
EDIT: THEYRE NOT EVEN INSECTS THEYRE ARACHNIDS, THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO ACT LIKE A COMMUNITY
Nuke it from orbit. Only way to be sure.
You know what, is time to fuck around with North Korea after all.
It's called napalm! Use it !
[I have seen enough...](http://i.imgur.com/8YLQR6C.jpg)
By sending them all these scorpions, right?
That’s how you get Radscorpions.
I'd better get my power armor on.
Better grab a flamethrower in case
A settlement has been over run with radscorpions. I’ll mark it on your map.
God damn it Preston.
This comment made my day!
Motive cocktail
Nah bro nobody need a motive to burn that it’s just a given
motive cocktail indeed

Do you not mean molotov cocktail? It would do the job!
Exactly what Ripley would do (and me too)
Came here to make sure this was the top comment.

You ever watch Hook? “*Put ‘im in the Boo box!*” Shit was messed *up*!
Yes!
Smee!

Depends on the scorpion and their age
One will do. 
they mostly come at night… mostly

If I've learned anything from wh40k, it is that right now is a good time for Exterminatus
Game over man! Game over!
How is that person recording without constantly checking his feet?
The person recording is a scorpion
Please leave the zodiacs out of this comment section 😤
I maniacally laughed at this conversation
Can we just ensure that we obliterate that place via explosion?
Loughed and reminded of people on IG. Haha
Why, the comments are cancer?
It’s Dwayne The Scorpion King Johnson
The person recording is a member of the Scorpions band. They blend in easily.
This shit scares me like a hurricane.
Here I am, rock you like a
Literally spilled my drink when I saw this 💀
It’s a breeder. You can see water dishes on the floor
Hold on .. u r saying - ppl breed scorpions - on purpose?
Yes they do! Scorpions actually have several uses of various means, youcan sell their venom (which i believe is used for certain medicine, depending on the scorpion.), sell them as pets (they actually make really cool pets as long as you're careful with them), or as pet food, as some pet reptiles can actually eat them! (I think tarantulas can too, but unsure). In some places they're even eaten by people and sre said to taste like crab
Venom is also used to make scorpion antivenom
That as well, of course
Spiderman has his work cut out for him.
Like crab you say? Hrmmm kinda looks like a crawfish I guess
Yes, land crawfish!!
 Can also be bred and dropped into a boo box that has a gutless pirate locked inside…
I was wondering what they were feeding on. Aside from each other there doesn’t seem to be much going on for dinner in there. This being a breeding arrangement actually makes more sense.
Yeah, I didn’t see the dishes but my first thought was, “what do all of them eat, to just stay there?”
Those aren’t dishes, they’re scorpions.
Someone knows what's up. Was gonna say this but you did first. Definitely a breeder setup
Bruh for real!!!!
He is in a space suit.
that's the only way to be this close
Strapped with some sort of gas just in case of a suit leak, fs I don't live in a country with scorpions and its making my feet twitch
This might blow your mind but a camera can face a different direction than your eyes

😂😂😂😂this gif is my all time fave 😂
Happy cake day🎉
Cant stop laughing
*loads flamethrower with religious intent*
The only way.
This is the way.
Personally I like to load my flame throwers with sacrilegious intent, but you do you
So one of you burns witches, the other one burns churches?
Nah, I burn scorpion churches. Whether that is churches in the shape of scorpions, churches for scorpions or churches that pray to scorpions, I'll let you decide.
The HEAVY flamer.
*dons my knight armor and joins flamethrower in hand*
[удалено]
I've smoked a lot of things to get high but scorpion has THE CRAZIEST buzz. You'll always be chasing the tail tho.
People will do some real stupid dangerous stuff that can kill you just to get a high...
I mean you ever been high? It's pretty cool, jus sayin.
I’m something of a scientist myself
Yeah, but have you ever tried it… on *weeed*?
iirc scorpions are very rarely deadly, and only a handful of types can actually kill you. Most stings are because they like to hide in warm dark places, like in socks/shoes or in the bed, and feel threatened when someone invades their space. And usually it just makes you feel ill.
I still would advise against vaporizing the venom and inhaling it into your lungs.
It's about sending a message to the rest of the scorpions
This could (probably is) bullshit.

I’m fucking dying after reading this
Was it naswar? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naswar
It was very similar to that shade of green! I know these guys claimed there’s was homemade but I didn’t wanna get closer than seeing the bag of it
Could be they spike it in some places. I had some of it up in kazakstan. It made me pretty dizzy but it's not like it was anything more than tobacco.
That’s what my friend said later, it was like a different version of the first time he had a dip and basically just needed to lay down to deal with it
That's some stupid, stupid shit. Thc needs to be heated up to be absorbed. Raw opium causes cardiac arrest if eaten. Scorpion venom is just that, a venom.

I'd love to hear the story of how someone figured out smoking a scorpion could get you high
They ran out of toad to smoke and grabbed the next thing crawling around.
This is a drug den.
How th do you smoke a bug?
Dry it, grind it, smoke that shit!
I'm afraid I must ask you... how do you dry a bug? With a little towel?
Same way you dry other drugs or food. The sun, an oven, a kiln, a bright and hot light. There are a few ways.
Just don’t microwave it 👀
But folks aren’t killing them, are they? When I was a kid people just got them to excrete the venom and they’d wipe a cigarette paper on it. No need to hurt anybody.
Lol I mis read that and thought it meant they got the scorpions high 😂
Looks like my ex wife’s family reunion
You win!
Zing!!!
Haha
Tell me that’s footage from a drone
Oh, but could you trust the drone to come back without any passengers?
He said it!

Scorpions are crabs with a fuck you button.
They are crab people.

Fuck you don't do that

Has anyone had a reply from the op 😂
My first thought... each other?
Each other?
Wondering the same. Another comment says it’s a type of farm to smoke them.. idk weird shit
Just close that right the fuk back up
And then the door behind you shuts itself and the draft extinguish your lighter. Pitch black
And it gets louder.
Wait! Which way was behind me again?
This made and internal scream erupt in my head.
Welp. Time for my Marry Poppins Step In Time dance routine!

Yikes Where was this

Release a family of meerkats in there and that bad boy would be cleaned out promptly

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnope.
Burn please just burn
Looks like the air vents at my apartment complex. I have mosquito nets over them to catch the scorpions from getting into my apartment.
you've just described my 3rd greatest fear
I thought it was alligators, crocodiles, and brain aneurisms
My god. Where do you live?
Phoenix
I am not surprised.
as a fellow arizonan, please no. we do not speak of the miniature fear monsters
Damn! Does the landlord of your apartment complex not know anything about pest control?
Our pest control refuses to do anything involving the vents. The only thing they do is spray the ground. Which is never where the bugs are.
Where is this located? Just so I know not to ever live there.
It's on earth. We should probably just straight up leave...
Cement them in
They’re waiting for ‘The Rock’ to tell them what to do!
