You'd be constantly intoxicated from the higher oxygen content, possibly poisoned by it if it's high enough.
We only survive in a certain range of nitrogen/oxygen mix.

Eh, it would be over quick, it's debatable how much you'd really process in a bug brain anyway and then you've worked off your karma and can come back as something better, like a white girl's dog.
No I think as the lower animal in the exchange the karma falls upon the white girl. You get karmic headpats treats and the Buddha grins at cosmically and whispers "nice."
I gave a criket to a mantus once and it ate it alive from the ass forward. THe bug was still alive up to its chest and after 30 minutes of getting eaten alive
The most horrifying aspect of bugs. They’re just tiny robots that are programmed to eat. Mantises are deceptively strong here’s one killing a mouse. If I lived in a world where these things were the size of dogs I wouldn’t leave home without a bomb vest.
>it's seeing something attach it so it's attacking back
It's fighting the sparks from an industrial cutter and it's not actually losing.

Anon is only projecting his only lack of philosophical depth compaired to the mantis mind. Now if he had called out stick bugs, I think we can all agree they are retarded narcissists.
>Castle Laws and Stand Your Ground Laws sound better on paper.
I more or less agree but in this case the mantis isn't in its castle and wilfully entered the environment where it's now attempting to stand its ground against shit that's expected to happen in that environment.
Ignorance is no defence[1] so the Mantis should be convicted on that charge.
[1] except that it nearly always is if you're not poor and powerless
I don't think insect brains have the capacity to understand industrial plasma cutter machinery, and the dangers they may pose. Probably didn't come up much during their evolution.
By quite easily beating usain bolt in being the first human to run at over 88 miles an hour while screaming "oh hell no", to activate a flux capacitor and get the fucking hell out of the Silurian age.
For me, I think its because the idea that something so otherworldly is still attracted to a human, or that the feeling could be mutual. Its a lot like alien stuff where the alien isn't shaped like a human/humanoid.
>it was like a big hairy Russian woman
What if this guy is telling the truth and he did get raped by a big hairy Russian woman, but he was on so much meth he thought she was a bigfoot and couldn't find his gun.
Tie a Ukrainian flag to its back and send it crawling in the general direction of Russian lines. The Russians will think it's some sort of NATO bioweapon and immediately abandon their positions and then be machine-gunned by the Chechen rearguard.

No, this is not unusual.
I've seen hunters who helped deer that had gotten stuck in the mud.
I just assume that Humans hate to see something suffer needlessly.
>Is it weird to emphasize with fishies who are literally meant to be eaten by bigger fishies so we can eat them more than Russian soldiers having faces blown off by Ukrainian drones?
I don't see it as such. The repeated sight of people dying either in war, police shootings, and various other events makes me feel nothing except maybe laughter if they died in a funny way or they left behind a funny corpse like the disembodied ass. On the other hand though, I always hate culling and butchering any of my animals, be it a quail, chicken, or rabbit. I always feel bad for it even if I know I gave it a quick end
It's because you see the bait as innocent and deserving to live. While you see the Russians as aggressors who have a choice to be in the war and those feel nothing when they get maimed and bleed out.
That happens with any group regardless of species or ideology.
If a specific type of wasp went out of its way to keep attacking you, you would not feel a thing if you saw them being tortured. Or likewise a political group. Like if a bunch of confederate sympathizers got shot.
Fish were just chilling when they were caught, doing fish things

(Sure, they were lied to and pushed to it by their circumstances to an extent, but then that's true for all criminals and they don't get off the hook just for that)
Nah, animals don't have a concept of right vs wrong. Humans justify animal death with a prupose, either as self defense (directly defending yourself from an animal attacking you), preventive measures (culling a population that would otherwise lead to adverse effects), or serving some sort of need (killing animals for food). Most humans oppose needless death. As for mortality with humans, humans understand right from wrong and make conscious choices to do bad. That's why it's normal to not feel any empathy for humans doing wrong, like Russian invaders.
It literally is. If it wasn't for the other eight billion people out there eating everything and polluting, wildlife would be everywhere in crazy abundance.
As late as the 19th century people write about the sky filled with birds and the fields with game. Fuck, we accidentally eradicated an entire species of locust that used to swarm over the continent.
Yes, h. Sapians are omnivorous opportunity foragers or should be. We are insulated from our evolution by agriculture and animal husbandry. The main purpose in life is feeding and breeding. Period. Quantum physics doesn't put food on tge table.
I wonder how fast the big arthropods moved.
I can't imagine them being particularly zippy.

Haiti was hoping to trade with the US but the US south would have thrown a fucking psychotic fit at even recognizing a slave rebellion had become a legitimate nation, so that was out. The French agreed to trade with Haiti, and were pretty much the only ones to do so... on condition that Haiti pay them back all the money they'd put into Haiti with interest.
Suffice it to say, Haiti never could pay back that loan and it all went downhill from there very, very quickly.

Meganeura was estimated to be 150g. It's literally just a big carnivorous dragonfly. There's a ton of bigger and heavier predators around you every single day of your live. Doesn't mean a passing eagle will swoop down on your head and kill you.

Why is it so quiet? Do they have the world's biggest suppressor on it?
>Are these things break action?
Depends on the model. The one I used was essentially an 8ga falling block. Remington apparently has a semi-auto one but I haven't seen it in person. >Seems like it would fucking suck having a load each shot when you are blasting a kiln dozens of times.
Sometimes literally hundreds, but its not really that bad. You can get big rings done in 20 minutes at a leisurely pace, or half that time if you try even a little.
The biggest issue was the sound. Ours had a (admittedly beat up and shitty) suppressor on it and on Day 1 I wore ear pro and my ears still rung after. Doubled up every time since. Glad I don't do it any more regardless.
What kind of ear pro? Are we talking heavy duty, or those foam things they give you in warehouses?

nta but ive heard shotguns were sometimes used to help clean the inside of cement trucks. big boom, vibration of the metal helps break it loose. normally they just use explosives, but if you cant find/get the explosives...well...
Slag builds up in rotary kilns in these rings that constrict the flow of heat and feedstock, or into spheres that roll around and damage the kiln. The shotgun lets you clear it out > without climbing inside the thing > without backbreaking labor > relatively quickly > often without shutting the kiln down
The answer is no to both the stick and the jackhammer. The stick isn't going to do jack shit to the slag, and I've yet to see a jackhammer thats 130 feet long and can withstand the temperatures.
As for chipping, yes you could do that, but it shouldn't happen. You're shooting "down the barrel" of the kiln so to speak, and hitting obstructions that are sticking up. And its with a slug not buckshot. You're also not trying to scrap it clean, just break up obstructions.
>You're shooting "down the barrel" of the kiln so to speak, and hitting obstructions that are sticking up
That makes more sense, I had a smaller dome kiln in my mind.

Yeah understandable. I probably should have explained better at first. I just didn't expect people to be this interested tbh.
>How does the shotgun let you clear it out though?
When you shoot things, they tend to break. >It doesn't seem like they're aiming.
You're "aiming" parallel down the wall with a supersonic projectile, often at a ring that goes all the way around. Its mostly about timing than aiming and even then its trivial. >And then how do they get the stuff out?
Its already rejecting most of the slag, the shotgun just gets the stuck bits loose. I get the feeling you don't know what a rotary kiln is. Googling it is probably going to explain it better than me..
Yeah understandable. I probably should have explained better at first. I just didn't expect people to be this interested tbh.

DJI drone that drops canisters of any modern nerve agent. Or get a bulldozer and wire it up for remote control using basic off the shelf components. Then pack the front loader,the seat, and any noock or crazy full of a modable high explosive like Semtex or rdx. Use electronic wires to remotely detonate from your control station setup.
Hard mode: bribe/lobby government to eradicate them and make it illegal for them to exist.

Number one thing I would want is fire. I assume even though it's huge it still has a dumbass centipede brain, if you wave fire in its face it will probably turn and run.
So a torch or burning branch in one hand, some hammer or pick type thing in the other hand that can concentrate enough force to crack the carapace. Like a tomahawk or demolition hammer with a 2-3 foot haft light enough to swing one handed.

Raw lobster is generally safe if you're eating it right after you've kilked it. Most game meat generally is, organ meat aside.

Depends on the model. The one I used was essentially an 8ga falling block. Remington apparently has a semi-auto one but I haven't seen it in person.
>Seems like it would fucking suck having a load each shot when you are blasting a kiln dozens of times.
Sometimes literally hundreds, but its not really that bad. You can get big rings done in 20 minutes at a leisurely pace, or half that time if you try even a little.
The biggest issue was the sound. Ours had a (admittedly beat up and shitty) suppressor on it and on Day 1 I wore ear pro and my ears still rung after. Doubled up every time since. Glad I don't do it any more regardless.
>used to use an industrial shotgun like pic related to clear kilns
What the fuck
nta but ive heard shotguns were sometimes used to help clean the inside of cement trucks. big boom, vibration of the metal helps break it loose. normally they just use explosives, but if you cant find/get the explosives...well...
Slag builds up in rotary kilns in these rings that constrict the flow of heat and feedstock, or into spheres that roll around and damage the kiln. The shotgun lets you clear it out
> without climbing inside the thing
> without backbreaking labor
> relatively quickly
> often without shutting the kiln down
I assume the answer must be no but couldn't you just poke it with a stick?
It seems like some industrial version of an extra-long jack-hammer could knock it off the kiln wall or something?
The kiln is presumably ceramic so I wonder do you degrade the surface with these slugs by chipping away when you hit a thin piece of slag?
The answer is no to both the stick and the jackhammer. The stick isn't going to do jack shit to the slag, and I've yet to see a jackhammer thats 130 feet long and can withstand the temperatures.
As for chipping, yes you could do that, but it shouldn't happen. You're shooting "down the barrel" of the kiln so to speak, and hitting obstructions that are sticking up. And its with a slug not buckshot. You're also not trying to scrap it clean, just break up obstructions.
>You're shooting "down the barrel" of the kiln so to speak, and hitting obstructions that are sticking up
That makes more sense, I had a smaller dome kiln in my mind.
Yeah understandable. I probably should have explained better at first. I just didn't expect people to be this interested tbh.
How does the shotgun let you clear it out though? It doesn't seem like they're aiming. And then how do they get the stuff out?
>How does the shotgun let you clear it out though?
When you shoot things, they tend to break.
>It doesn't seem like they're aiming.
You're "aiming" parallel down the wall with a supersonic projectile, often at a ring that goes all the way around. Its mostly about timing than aiming and even then its trivial.
>And then how do they get the stuff out?
Its already rejecting most of the slag, the shotgun just gets the stuck bits loose. I get the feeling you don't know what a rotary kiln is. Googling it is probably going to explain it better than me..
real neat
I've worked with a artisanal glass kiln and all we'd ever do is knock off any glass that got splashed onto the brick so it would melt again
but industrial scale requires industrial solutions
fire, 20 pound sledgehammers and picks.
technically tracked vehicles are a tool.
10 lb fire extinguisher filled with Raid.
Gu'n need ma big boot.

how would this actually be dangerous. a door would defeat this
How do you beat him?
look at them dick suckin lips

Catfish are toothless aren't they?
Do country boys take advantage of that?
its called noodling. fishing for catfish by just...sticking your hand out. theres also trout tickling.
>its called noodling. fishing for catfish by just...sticking your hand out
Well yeah but once you have one, it will suck a dick as well as your hand won't it?
only one way to find out
Doubt it since they have cardiforms instead and the inside of their mouths are like sandpaper to grind up whatever snails and crawfish they suck up
No, they have little sandpaper like teeth all around their mouth. You gotta get a good grip of them because having them thrash around will give your thumb a nasty scrape.
You know they'll eat a man, right?
Wedge a hook between the armor segments, so that the irritation forces it to stay above ground. Ride the worm.
First up, last off
At first I thought Poleaxe, but id want to keep more distance so ill go with a proper Swiss halberd

I would feed it lettuce and give it headpats
I'm looking for arthropleura fossils in appalachia
axe or splitting maul
I once read a hentai where elf girl was raped by smth like that
>how do you defeat him
>nightmare mode
What the hell kind of question is that? I just close my eyes really hard and open them again so I wake up from the nightmare, IDIOT
Pick axe, regular axe, sledge hammer
The Arthropleura was herbivorous, there's really nothing to defeat.
I remember that centipede alien from the movie ENEMY MINE
also

Goddamn scalies
DJI drone that drops canisters of any modern nerve agent. Or get a bulldozer and wire it up for remote control using basic off the shelf components. Then pack the front loader,the seat, and any noock or crazy full of a modable high explosive like Semtex or rdx. Use electronic wires to remotely detonate from your control station setup.
Hard mode: bribe/lobby government to eradicate them and make it illegal for them to exist.
Pasifist run: build a bunch of walls forming boxes that trap them or protect known safe sones....they can't climb so either they die off or you run out of rocks to build with
Number one thing I would want is fire. I assume even though it's huge it still has a dumbass centipede brain, if you wave fire in its face it will probably turn and run.
So a torch or burning branch in one hand, some hammer or pick type thing in the other hand that can concentrate enough force to crack the carapace. Like a tomahawk or demolition hammer with a 2-3 foot haft light enough to swing one handed.
Three good men with polearms. Even a limited amount of armor should be enough to protect you from this thing.
That's probably mostly chitin.
A sledgehammer should do the job.
A fucking rock. What? Did you think chitin made it invincible?
>How do you defeat him?
taliban on rollerskates
lure him into a giant paper sheet and draw a red circle around him. Let him die of starvation.
A very sharp, long spear.
There are planets out there somewhere where these things still exist.
