And the deadly accuracy.
They practice by killing roaches off the walls..... blindfolded
I grew up in Pittsburgh, where we have house centipedes instead of roaches. Look them up and understand how strong I must be to have grown up in that nightmare. My strength was forged in a stygian insect-nightmare.
Scorpions 🦂 in Mexico 🫂 I stand with you. Centipedes are also terrifying. There are these other things called vinagrillos in mx. https://image.nostr.build/0ee3a3b148651375e1b34374f03b5aceabe8ed837509ae706fdd32d5f3991223.jpg Harmless but ugly
Horrifying, this was my companion. They were legion during rainy seasons. https://m.primal.net/KcQB.png
Oh hell no! 😳
And when they get bigger they hiss by moving their legs and they are so fuckin' fast!
There should be a horror film 🎥 We just made it. If Arachnophobia took off. We have a blockbuster. And the mom with infinite sandals in her wardrobe saves the day.
Marvel is gonna acquire us for millions of dollars.
And we will proceedings turn those dollars into bitcoin.
It's a Nostr indie film
I'm actually...I think we should actually do this. This would be fuckin hilarious. Maybe @TheGuySwann can do the trailer. "On the day she sent her last child off to college, carried by his two little legs...she would turn to face her next greatest challenge....one with...farrr moore leeggs..."
Cut scene to the dad angry about all the Amazon packages filled with different sandals. "Little did he know she was the savior he needed."
"She only has two feet??" Narrator: "..what he didn't know is that these weren't for her feet, but for an enemy, with many...many feet." I feel like comic effect of constantly talking about the innumerable leggs on these bugs is essential to cross the chasm between shitty movie and B-movie classic its so bad it's good.
She's a super hero now https://image.nostr.build/c62962a55233ad8058bc99082a610d0b2af536c3cc510547f76673775e25e4bc.gif nostr:nevent1qqsx0ctezv6rppkzh66hms5nrsr53peeaajsa98p98s4je0n57zumlspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnwv46z7q3qv7k63c6y2vktlqhsuupywt3yc7ykursujc34at964f9cv9s9y9csxpqqqqqqzyvys7e
Fuuuuuuuuuck those things. It is kind of satisfying how they just disintegrate when you smush em with the paper towel though
They are brittle and dangerous like an obsidian blade.
Do they actually bite/sting? I always just thought they were gross but didn’t know they were dangerous
They do and have bitten me. They have to get to a critical size to bite but it hurts. Slightly poisonous but not deadly by any means. Sub-bee sting pain scale. The problem is only the big one's have the cojones to come out and mess around. Their infernal children brood in the sewar system until they are ripe with violence.
It should be in the Olympics
After watching break dancing this year, I'm convinced it takes more skill to chancla accurately. Sheesh
