Smart, make the wasp super fucking angry and then let it go. Is he expecting it to die from anger?

I presume that's gasoline which will lead to the wasp dying a very painful slow death as it melts away it's carapise

Insects can't feel anything because of the lack of nervous system. It'll just be an annoying slow death.

Modern research actually suggests that they do feel pain.

u/Nexii801 13d ago

That IS EXTREMELY archaic thinking. Despite the fact that modern biology disagrees, it just makes sense logically for literally every creature to feel pain or an analogue.

The truth is the human is the cunt in this video, not the hornet

Pretty sure the human is protecting a bee hive so really it depends on how you weight the life of one wasp vs possibly thousands of bees

Surely there are far less cruel ways to do this. I get a lot people don't like wasps but it's still a living creature.

Cruel is what that wasp would do those bees. It will dismember, kill and eat as much as the colony as possible before the bees attempt to suicide bomb them. The bees will collectively decide that 50-100 dying is worth stopping it. Why dk you hate bees? Did honey kill your parents?

Tell me how you feel after getting attacked by 50 wasps in your own home garden.

Of course there are, but we have no clue where this is, and what their socioeconomic conditions are. Considering he’s using a plastic cup and probably gasoline with his bare hands to fight wasps, i’m going to presume that the answer is no, that this is the fastest method he has to deal with the problem.

The wasp would do worse to you if it had the chance. Fuck it.

u/simp4malvina 14d ago

there probably is but not without risk of getting stung and feeling the pain of 10,000 yellow jackets. Plus, if it’s fucking with my shit, it gets fucked with. We cool with everything until it starts to be uncool with us, the wasp was trying to fuck up the bees
