4 out of 4, which seems a slightly unintuitive scale
Finally, there’s a level 4 sting, which is as bad as it can get. Schmidt knows of only three critters capable of inflicting level-4 suffering: the warrior wasp (Synoeca septentrionalis), a two-and-a-half-inch-long black bug found in the tropics; the bullet ant (Paraponera clavata), also tropical; and the tarantula hawk (genus Pepsis), two inches long, which Schmidt can find in his yard in Tucson.
btw, this image is a legit snippet from the wikipedia page Schmidt sting pain index although it doesn’t make clear that Schmidt didn’t get stung on purpose for science.
Fuck tarantula hawks. Fallout NV has created a permanent fear for me. I still call them cazadors.
Maybe he was going to make a ten point scale, but decided to stop early for obvious reasons.
I wonder how that compares to the gympie-gympie I in terms of pain?
And that’s a 4…
something about your post made me crave string cheese

Where does he put kicked in the balls?
