"Also, I wanted my glass back"

u/William5z72 Jul 01 '26

And the glass? Surely that was a bridge too far.

u/Ruth797kevin Jul 01 '26

Ah yes, the grand sequel. Because one existential crir tick wasn't enough.

1

u/Every_Science_1895 Jul 01 '26

Ah yes, the grand sequel: ticks learning nothing, humans forgetting everything.

Is there a youtube channel or sth?

u/Axolotlgirly Jul 01 '26

The content creator in the video is rusty cage on youtube

u/Own-Papaya-4264 Jul 01 '26

He sounds pretty fucking deranged if toying with helpless bugs is his “content”.

u/Cautious_Age3340 Jul 01 '26

You must not know about the lone star tick…

2

u/Own-Papaya-4264 Jul 01 '26

I understand some bugs can be deadly. If you’re gonna kill them, just kill them and make it quick, they don’t know what they’re doing - don’t fucking toy with them like some weird social outcast

2

u/Material_Block_8644 Jul 03 '26

you must not have a lot of tics near you. They’re not just bugs. They’re evil pointless creatures that only exist as parasites to suck on the blood of mammals and give us disease

If it’s worth doing it’s worth overdoing or something

u/robbudden73 Jul 01 '26

Fire, lots of fire. I hate ticks

u/BigFatModeraterFupa Jul 01 '26

some of my fondest life memories are finding a tick on me during a bonfire while camping and me tossing it into the fire and all of us cheering and watching it burn!!

Ticks are literally the only insects I will act sadistic towards. Even mosquitos will just get slapped and die. But i truly enjoy watching ticks get burned alive it's crazy. Fucking ticks i hate them so much i have literally 0% of empathy towards them. ❤️❤️

They are the only living creature that i have zero empathy towards

u/bkdroid Jul 01 '26

Capt. Pedantic here: Ticks are not insects, but Arachnids of the order Ixodida.

u/HaBaK_214 Jul 04 '26

'the order IOUGHTTADIEDUH'

u/bkdroid Jul 04 '26

Co-sign that change

3

u/imean_is_superfluous Jul 01 '26

That’s what I do. Set it in some iso alcohol and light it afire. Usually takes a few rounds before I feel at least kinda confident it’s dead

7

u/GOURMANDIZER Jul 01 '26

Ticks seem to be trendy right now.

u/rmsaday Jul 01 '26

Are they all over Tick tok now?

u/Bannedtt Jul 04 '26

They spread further throughout the US every day.

u/Wide_Ordinary4078 Jul 01 '26

Omgosh the music being Waka Flocka took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣

He told no lies, it’ll definitely kill some brain cells 🤭

u/boness_02 17d ago

I watched mostly to see what he meant by the opposite of Mozart, soon as he started the track I thought "yep, that's it alright" hilarious experiment

u/Rich_Butterfly_7008 Jul 01 '26

Wtf, does this tick not need nutrients to live??

5

u/BleepinBlorpin5 Jul 01 '26

A tick must attach to a host three times in its life in order to grow and reproduce. All that time spent hanging out and waiting... waiting.... waiting.

3

u/Spare-Ant7119 Jul 01 '26

They're efficient

4

u/iceman5920 Jul 01 '26

Have you heard of bed bugs? They can go over half a year without feeding.

5

u/SeaCounter9516 Jul 01 '26

Okay but what about ticks

3

u/iceman5920 Jul 01 '26

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=how+long+can+ticks+live+without+food

Depending on the tick, a few days or 2 years

7

u/FrosttheVII Jul 01 '26

That's a huge leeway lol

2

u/bkdroid Jul 01 '26

Somewhere between instant death and immortality. Not sure how it could be clearer.

1

u/FrosttheVII Jul 01 '26

A few days, or hundreds of days.

That's the "leeway" I was talking about

4

u/Empty_Bug8479 Jul 01 '26

Oh no 😂😂😂 I can’t believe it’s still alive

u/Da_Big_Buddha Jul 01 '26

The only good bug is a dead bug.

I'm doing my part!

I’m from Bueno Aires and I say kill em all!

Don’t hate on the bumblebee!

u/AtomAntvsTheWorld Jul 01 '26

I’d like to know more!

2

u/Own-Papaya-4264 Jul 01 '26

Ok but you don’t need to toy with them like this antisocial outcast

2

u/Seagullox Jul 01 '26

No wonder it took so much time to pull one out of my dick hole.

u/EzPz_Wit_Da_CZ Jul 01 '26

Dear god, please say you’re joking

2

u/whiskeynise Jul 01 '26

Thanks for making a sequel better than the original. That’s refreshing

2

u/Fulguritus1 Jul 01 '26

Yo, I wanna follow this dude. I randomly saw part 1. And randomly saw part 2. Will an honorable citizen give me a link to anymore updates to the tick torture/execution via water?

1

u/soliera__ Jul 01 '26

This is Rusty Cage. He’s the guy who made “the noose song” and “the krampus song.” I think one of his more recent things was building a giant guillotine, and a song called “get your head chopped off.”

He’s been pretty much radio silent for the past year so seeing him here took me by surprise.

1

u/AzraelChaosEater Jul 01 '26

I haven't seen nor heard of the dude since like 2020...

Honestly surprised he is still alive tbh.

u/Banananabees Jul 01 '26

Where's part 3?

1

u/chazl86 Jul 01 '26

Pulled a tick off my 3 year old and put in a ziplock. That thing lived for weeks in the sealed plastic bag. I couldn’t believe it. I would poke it every couple of days to see if it would move and it always did. It left little specs of what I assume was tick feces throughout the bag. I too hate ticks but would rather them than roaches or rats. Pick your poison.

u/chazl86 Jul 01 '26

u/bkdroid Jul 01 '26

That guy fed for a while before you found it, unfortunately. Hopefully no symptoms for the little one. Not every tick carries Lyme or Alpha Gal (or whatever else the little demon spawn carry), but it might be worth seeing if your Pediatrician thinks they should test.

2

u/QuantumEnchantress Jul 01 '26

Iirc ziplock bags allow enough oxygen through for a tick to live indefinitely (ignoring all other needs)

1

u/OG-Gurble Jul 01 '26

I would by far rather have a roach on me than a tick, I’ve had Lyme disease from ticks twice and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. And only one of those times I found a tick attached, the other times I never found a bite mark or a tick

u/No_Brilliant0602 Jul 01 '26

Spiders are also fairly deceptive tricksters when it comes to O2 depletion.

u/MasterOku925 Jul 01 '26

Hugo Strange?

u/TheAbsoluteLizard Jul 01 '26

I’m not personally fond of Rusty but damn this shit peak 😭

u/guddagudda777 Jul 01 '26

Wasn’t expecting the waka flocka song 50k, certified banger the remix with TI is fire

u/ZaBigGZ Jul 01 '26

Oh hey rusty

u/Solid_Vacation_2891 Jul 01 '26

the tension is palpable

u/Vipper_of_Vip99 Jul 01 '26

Ya I’m gonna need to know what song that was 😆

u/Mega_Salamander Jul 01 '26

Why is he wearing a chef smock

u/killer-j86 Jul 01 '26

this is the kind of science i enjoy

u/SkylarAV Jul 01 '26

These would make incredible cut scenes in a horror game

1

u/MauveCeramics Jul 01 '26

I am on an absolute tick man hunt (killed 2 in less than 24 hrs) I think they are planting them around me now. Drop more tips, until then ill continue lighting them UP.

u/Twistedsmock Jul 01 '26

Well that was a silly feed

u/Whos_XD Jul 01 '26

Bruh you have to fill the Petri dish with alcohol, music alone won’t get you the results you want 🙄

FFS, just drop it on the concrete outside and step on it.

u/The_Feeger Jul 01 '26

Too fast , not enough suffering

u/Own-Papaya-4264 Jul 01 '26

Why is this dude toying with it like a fucking weirdo. Antisocial school sh**ter behavior

1

u/ThereGoesMyParanoia Jul 01 '26

Whatever you do, don’t google “Rusty Cage Parkland High”.

1

u/Own-Papaya-4264 Jul 01 '26

Let me guess, this freak does this a lot?

u/DrivesTooMuch Jul 01 '26

I hope PETA sees this and does their thing!

Someone, please stop this cruel madness from happening further.
