If you get stung, have someone kick you on the balls. That way you push the threshold of pain to the limit, and then you can fly!

The pain goes away and you are left with one hell of an endorphin high. You shake and shudder and you feel kinda sick and numb.

I’d rather get stung than listen to that giant f**king spider scream
CrazyMrowLady
That tarantula looks like a Brachypelma albopilosum. They are super sweet spiders who are little sweetypies and wouldn't hurt a fly.
WendyTheWendigo
....doesn’t hurt a fly?
WendyTheWendigo
.....Are you sure?
WendyTheWendigo
.....the spider doesn’t hurt flies?....
CrazyMrowLady
Tarantulas don't eat flies. In the pet trade they eat crickets.
somnif
Well, that is good, then they won't hurt the wasp larva that will soon be feeding on its insides! (Nature is a wee bit brutal)

PhilMcrevice
What is the evolutionary benefit of pain that high? Can't it be like a quick vibration and we just learn not to repeat that behavior???
pricew926360
Because predators didn't give a fuck . no really google evolutionary arms race
RelartOfGivia
Attacker is in incredible pain so the Tarantula Hawk can escape.
Stegaosaurus
The benefit is it's simpler than pain having an upper limit, and if you're in that much pain you're probably going to die anyway so no point
c00lbeans69
Well most of the time, venom isn't evolved for defensive mechanisms, but to subdue prey. At an evolutionary point,
c00lbeans69
in order to be successful predators they need venom that induces this much pain. Unfortunately, we as "predators" can be caught in the cross
c00lbeans69
fire of this and, since we're not evolved to handle their venom in the slightest, have a severe reaction to their sting
MacClay
Developing a 'useful' pain range either hasn't happened yet or more likely wasn't useful enough to factor in to natural selection.
Toffeeaccident
I dunno man I just work here. The designer isn't in today either so..
LearningOnImgur
Venom is rarely for defense, it's usually for prey. Sting is so painful that the animal goes into shock and can't move, then it lays eggs
chillerluvcats
Imagine if it was the size of a dog
IMainReinhardt
Fuck Cazadors
FlawlessJustice

thisguy85
well, thank you for giving me my new nightmare
Exowe
I think vibration wouldn't be enough to stop us from unhealty behavior, the only way to truly protect ourself is through unbearable signals.
PhilMcrevice
But some of these signals are not self imposed and life long...what is the point then?
somnif
Their sting is "designed" to instantly paralyze a tarantula, and leave it paralyzed until the wasp egg hatches and its larvae consumes it.
Camelspotting
I think they mean for humans.
somnif
Well their sting evolved to deal with tarantulas. That gave them a super potent, high dose venom load that humans just happen to not handle
idontcareaboutnames
We can handle it better than tarantulas at least.
Camelspotting
Hence the question, why can we feel pain too intense to handle?
baeocystin
The nervous system is a host of competing needs, and our pain response is an evolved optima of sensation vs. resistance.
somnif
Its a venom meant to overwhelm nerve response. We're too big to paralyze, but our receptors are similar enough to still "see" the venom.
HdoubleL
A study found that tarantula hawks often nestle in fresh cut grass with the level of dampness found on soccer fields
RelartOfGivia
So that's why Nemar does that then. Dude's just probably getting stung be tarantula hawks.
somnif
They're VERY unlikely to sting people though. Extremely docile and calm, much more likely to just fly away. As long as you don't sit on it.
MrSniffles
I dunno mate, I grew up with them around. Not super aggressive, but boy howdy if you ticked one off! Scared me more than widows and wasps.

Had a allergic reaction to medication. Swelling was so strong it ripped my foreskin. Took some days to find out the cause...
blairmichod
The pain can be so severe that the brain is permanently damaged so it can not fully recover and remains constantly stuck in a pained state.
Isorikk
That sounds like a heaping load of Facebook mom B.S. right there
blairmichod
https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Peripheral_neuropathy can result from singular traumatic events, such as intense stings.
WhitePixelVoid
#get_rekt
Isorikk
That is entirely different from what you described. It specifically states lingering pain caused by damage to the nerves.
Isorikk
It never says your brain is "locked" into feeling permanent pain just because you felt a lot of pain somewhere.
nuushba
Been stung twice. Would rather get stung again than have my shoulder dislocated again
HerrFraeulein
So the sting is painful but not deadly?
Zap117
A good way to popp it back in is to lie on a table with the arm hanging free on the side and just try to calm down and relax

Rather have my shoulder dislocated again than have my radial head surgically replaced. Coming out of anesthesia screaming is not fun.

I didn’t even take the nerve block. I imagine the pain had to come at you so much harder. It was teeth grinding pain for sure.

the centipede was the only of the sting and bite videos he had to cut early because it got too bad. So yeah, that was definitely the worst
