I wish he was around to see this lmfaooooooo

u/tanksforallthephish 12d ago

IN his friends

Rest in peace this guy's dad

u/WorkingInAColdMind 10d ago

It’s not a fashion choice everybody can pull off, or would want to, but scorpions are pretty cool looking, so seems like an interesting gift.

u/Leoszite 12d ago

Idk if you were like the leader of a badass gang or cartel I could see this going really hard at the leader meetings.

u/AutumnsRevenge 12d ago

A person named Cuchillos with long nails

u/Peachbottom30 12d ago

Gross

u/X_soulnewmegaman 12d ago

Natives did it with Buffalo Wolves and other animal hides

16

u/Peachbottom30 12d ago

Natives put buffalos under their nails? Doubt.

-22

u/X_soulnewmegaman 12d ago

Didn't say that they used different things to make clothes

Bones from animals Skin from animals Claws from animals

18

u/Peachbottom30 12d ago

So that makes putting scorpions under your nails not gross? I don’t see the comparison.

-20

u/X_soulnewmegaman 12d ago

I said it's useful in a fight

Like using wolf claws or bear claws

u/thedafthatter 12d ago

Those nails are snapping faster than a karen in a restaurant demanding free food

u/X_soulnewmegaman 10d ago

Since I couldn't comment because someone was sore loser and blocked it

Get off reddit

u/thedafthatter 10d ago

Why should I leave reddit?

u/X_soulnewmegaman 10d ago

Because I said so!!!

u/CyberNinja23 12d ago

How much coke can it hold?

u/FecalDUI 12d ago

A whole lot more than a key!

3

u/No-Ice7397 12d ago

Don't forget, you can smoke the scorpion when you're done too. Since apparently that's a thing now

3

u/Huntress_Minerva 12d ago

Wait wah?

2

u/No-Ice7397 12d ago

There was a video a week or 2 ago showing how people in the Middle East have been smoking scorpions to get high

0

u/FecalDUI 12d ago

Like pulling the pud?

-22

u/X_soulnewmegaman 12d ago

It's the same thing Native Americans would do

u/tanksforallthephish 12d ago

Nah this is kinda rad

I scrolled and the post beneath it was Kermit reading a book called "how to slap someone throught a screen." 🤣 wish i could add the screenshot.

u/beegboo 12d ago

You just know by the time you do all 10 nails one of them is going to wake up.

i just randomly thought about that song yesterday, what are the odds!

Godsmack - I stand alone

I… guess…?

u/voidparallex 12d ago

That’s enough internet for me today

u/GeneralMiro 11d ago

Who else remembers those bug candies as a kid. They like bugs in crystal candy.. They remind me of that

6

u/Mediocre-Wind-5377 12d ago

Isn't that animal cruelty aswell?

9

u/Apart-Performer-331 11d ago

unless the scorpion is alive which I highly doubt then it wouldn’t count as animal cruelty I’m pretty sure. It’s still shitty to kill something just for nails tho

1

u/fisher2nz 11d ago

Imagine King Kong sealing a human in his nail with epoxy. lol.

1

u/Immediate_Song4279 6d ago

And I think it's debatable whether insects experience pain as anything more than a stimulus with a set response. I am opposed to torturing them for reasons, but their world is almost programmed, and it's brutal already.

3

u/ContestSignificant32 11d ago

Nah. Shits dead, a scorpion would not stay still long enough to do the thing.

1

u/steadyaero 11d ago

Fuck scorpions. They all should perish

1

u/Immediate_Song4279 6d ago

It's controversial and debated where the lines are with insects. Personally I dont think insects really conceptualize pain.

3

u/iiitme 12d ago

Just because you could doesn’t mean you should

4

u/PsychoPassProstitute 12d ago

That’s some serial killer type level shihh

2

u/YourGirlSix 12d ago

I am physically recoiling from the screen. Why would anyone inflict this level of cruelty on an arachnid? DiWHY indeed.

3

u/HyacinthineHalloween 12d ago

I might be mistaken, but I think OOP might be the lady who used tiny live frogs in one of her other nail art videos and was (rightfully) called out. Unsurprisingly, she was unrepentent except for some surface level “applogy” and kept trying to downplay what she did.

1

u/MaskedFigurewho 12d ago

Ia the scropion not dead

4

u/Sikkus 11d ago

That is just fucked up...

2

u/level7metapod 12d ago

For a second I thought it was getting rolled up to smoke

2

u/Sararizuzufaust 12d ago

That would give me anxiety every time I looked at my hands.

2

u/PolimerT 12d ago

Honestly. This must be the top post. Like, i cant find any other questions than a few whys and all of them would have different answer.

2

u/No_Equipment7456 12d ago

It’s really cool.

2

u/Excalibirdi 12d ago

After this, she kidnapped a bunch of kids and made them dog holes in the desert all day

2

u/TheSummerMarine 12d ago

II!!!! STAND ALONE!!!!!! INSIDE I!!!! STAND ALOWNEE!!!!!!!

2

u/XxXMeatbunXxX 12d ago

She buffed herself with poison claw. Gain %additional dmg as poison damage.

2

u/notarealwriter 11d ago

Her unarmed strikes deal piercing and poison damage

2

u/TheJaggedBird 10d ago

Animal abuse AND awful taste

Lovely...

2

u/DogsInABathtub24 10d ago

This is gonna be real fun for them once the scorpion starts decomposing.

3

u/Normal-Plastic-4237 12d ago

Actually that’s kinda…ugly

1

u/ballkicker9 12d ago

Reminds me of Holes and the snake venom nails

1

u/TheJaggedBird 10d ago

At least she did that in a tasteful manner. She milked the venom from them, not killing the snakes

1

u/GrimWonderings 12d ago

Listen. I like weird shit too. But there's a line.

u/HolyPommeDeTerre 12d ago

In french it's a scorpiongle! (Scorpion + Ongle (nail))

1

u/Sea-Philosopher7361 12d ago

You’re supposed to smoke them to get high.

1

u/bakeland 12d ago

This reminds me of the scorpion paperweight you would find in Arizona gift shops.

1

u/Meisje28 12d ago

Classy.

1

u/Difficult_Physics125 11d ago

cool for Halloween but how does one even go about life with so long nails

1

u/Shad0wbubbles 11d ago

They should make them look like the scorpion lollipops

1

u/Regetron 11d ago

I saw title and thought the scorpion was gonna get a sick manicure

I'm disappointed

1

u/Evan_Underscore 11d ago

I mean... all nail extensions are kinda' diwhy. This just goes the extra mile.

u/UpriverOrc8 11d ago

u/fisher2nz 11d ago

I can totally see King Kong doing this to me. Only he needs more epoxy.

u/Zemenu135 11d ago

That's some supervillain shit

u/GreatService9515 11d ago

I'm feeling sorry for the 🦂

1

u/ErBaut 11d ago

+10 venom damage

1

u/Important_Sorbet 11d ago

Ummmm. Not sure why anyone would do this with their nails, but okay.

1

u/KBVE-Darkish 10d ago

I’m not trying to judge anyone.

There is the crazy idea no other animal in this existence of history. Would kill you and then turn you into a nail accessory.

Not a coat, not a hat, not even a pair of boots. Nails.

1

u/Select_Egg_7078 9d ago

it's very last decade. the goofy thing is, they didn't need to use real scorpions. we have decals and charms

1

u/ZanceAlpha 9d ago

Many years from now someone's going to dig up this weird fossil.

1

u/ballztothewalrus 9d ago

Must use live scorpions for authenticity

u/Aztecxx 8d ago

No no no no i thought I've seen it all but this tops it

1

u/SshhImHiding 7d ago

These are dumb and I would 100% get them if I had that kind of money just to get people to ask why.

1

u/Expensive-Ad7181 12d ago

I feel bad for the scorpion

1

u/HerMajestysButthole2 12d ago

That's great....now wipe

1

u/Decent-Box5009 12d ago

Just when I thought humans couldn’t get any dumber.

1

u/thedafthatter 12d ago

Those poor scorpions died for disposable art

1

u/ContestSignificant32 11d ago

They die for much less in the wild.

1

u/thedafthatter 11d ago

Sure but their bodies can feed to ecosystem. The maker is going to rip these nails off and send them to a landfill to pollute the ground with more microplastics

-1

u/Ornac_The_Barbarian 11d ago

Meh. I've seen worse. Literally 5 fish in plugged in blenders was the art piece. By the end of the show all five blenders had been turned on.

u/HelplessHollow 11d ago

This is sick wtf are y'all complaining about

u/BlackAristotle1 11d ago

Look cool to me... But I'm a dude who know nothing about nail stuff... So that probably speaks volumes lol.
