Fuuuuuck thaaaaat, I've been stung by a few wasps, but not all at once, the most at once was about 3 times, all on my dumb bald head, but that was just was one asshole who got pissy that I went into my shed.
One time I was trying to knock a nest down during the day like the dumbass I am, about 30 reeeeeeaaaallly angry wasps came staunching out after me, I barely made it inside.. Those little fucks sat there at my door flying around in a circles and randomly dive bombing my fly screen door every time they saw me, for 8 hours... I was a hostage in my own house, they were out to kill me that day.
Fuck you wasps! I hope you go extinct you useless excuse of an insect!
I really wish they were useless insects but unfortunately for us they're important pollinators. How stuff works also did a good podcast about them.
In the current climate collapse I don't think it would be that bad if the species happened to fall out a window. I'm curious, wasp defender, do mosquitos rate as worth saving?
Ok sure, but they could not abuse this particular individual
I currently have 1 sting from over a week ago that is still annoying and itchy. I feel sorry for this guy, he is lucky to be alive. What a nightmare
all you need in that scenario is a good shop vac… works for flies too.
I'll throw my wasp tricks out, hope they help.
First thing to know, the little fuckers are packing facial recognition wetware in that tangle of neurons they call a brain. Probably more like pattern matching, but whatever, they can recognize you.
Knowing this, don't fucking look at them. Make it a point to ignore 'em. Had a nest over my front door and they never even buzzed me or my pig, and we went in and out the door many times a day. OK, you can look briefly, but do not stare. Got a tiny nest of little ones at camp. I can briefly look at them from 6" and they don't budge.
Second, don't yell, scream or wave your arms around like a horny bonobo. You're causing them to see you as a threat. Hell, come at me spazzing out, I'm seeing a threat.
"We're gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what's Fonzie like? Come on Yolanda what's Fonzie like?"
"Cool?"
"Correctamundo!"
Third, all bets are off with hornets. Run and let the devil take the hindmost.
Jfc. I want to see that on video.
Why hasn't there been a movie about killer wasps yet?
There’s an episode of black mirror about AI bees that I think you’d like, it’s called Hated in the Nation. It’s 89 minutes so basically a movie.
Not quite the same as actual regular wasps, but it’s the right vibe given your comment, and they act more like wasps than bees ;)

How dare you use a comma splice in your first sentence
Apparently nobody who voted here has watched it, and thus missed the reference.. and implications.
Buzz buzz, :p
Death to pedants!
initially thought he had been stung 160 times after they invaded his home
You think hed be afraid to bee in his house
A tree in the yard of our complex got struck by lightning a week ago like a dozen times
Now that they removed all branches I have bees and wasps in my apartment daily
These are.already annoying but 250???? Fuck that
