If I recall the story correctly, the dude holding it knew what he was doing and did multiple times. Also he was terminal ill so he really didn’t care if things went wrong.
So I guess who knows even more may be relieved if in favour of consensual euthanasia 🤷♂️
This comment section has both this story and another story sqying it was a woman who had no idea and posted it online.
Which one is it!?
my source is a super solid “dude on internet” 🤷♂️
Man that’s another level of “people who know”
I don’t know if I’d count myesthenia gravis as a terminal disease. Sure you can’t get rid of it, but it’s manageable with meds.
Terminally ill people playing with venomous animals is definitely a choice.
It’s the “You can’t fire me, I quit!” mentality taken to a bitter extreme. All for the slightest sense of control over a hopeless situation.
except they quit life and nobody is better off
Many life insurance policies pay out for accidents but not suicide. Looks like our friend here is just trying to have an accident.
die smart not die hard
They have one of the most potent venoms in the animal kingdom and people apparently often don’t even feel the bite. It’s also assumed by some scientists that venomous animals with this warning pattern is the reason some people have trypophobia
Is that true about trypophobia? Man that would be wild and so cool if so. I’ll need to go read about this…
envenomated
That’s a neat one for scrable
I haven’t played Scrabble in forever but won’t that cost 3 precious 'e’s?
last time I played it was pre-high school but I recall my strategy was to be greedy with vowels
I don’t think I won though
I once had a hand that was 5 E’s and 2 H’s. On the second round. Not fun
“hee hee” what, Michael Jackson said it.
If it’s “envenomate” it would be good for Spelling Bee
That might’ve still been a better choice of game than scabble
Is this a real pic or wtf?
Yeah, this is an old one. IIRC, the lady holding it didn’t know it was dangerous, just thought it was adorable, then when she posted it and ppl told her, she explained she had a meltdown at how wildly dangerous that situation was and she had no idea
she explained she had a meltdown at how wildly dangerous that situation was and she had no idea
I probably would too in that situation, followed by immense relief that I survived it lol
I appreciate you giving context
Glad I could help!
That’s why education isn’t just some nice-to-have luxury. Moments like these should make people go “wait, maybe it’s a shitty idea that conservatives like the Trump regime oppose proper, widely available and cheap education for everyone”.
I sometimes wonder how many lives would not have been lost if those people had known “sea magically disappear from beach mean big wave coming” when that Indian ocean tsunami happened. Instead, many even went to the beach to observe this strange phenomenon.
Knowledge can save your life.
A lot were doomed by the speed (500mph/800kph) and sheer size of the waves, which they couldn’t have escaped even if they had tried. But those in the escapable areas died needlessly.
Tsunamis move at those speeds you mentioned only at open sea. The closer to land they come, the slower they get, as all that kinetic energy is used to build up height.
But even when they reach shore, they’re still much too fast to escape from on foot, as we have seen on all those videos.
its just a spider
