I can’t believe you’ve done this :( sure I expected a trick, but I have rights.
AITA for hitting someone with everything I’ve got?
I (???) recently engaged in a trick or treat activity. One of the people I visited (T) appeared to ask me to trick them instead of leveling a trick against me. They even asked me to hit them “with everything [I’ve] got.” I followed T’s request, hitting them with a 10 billion wasp attack.
Later, however, they complained to me about my actions; I suspect that my power level was far greater than they were anticipating. Now I’m left wondering if I should have held back. So, Tumblr, AITA?
Folks and critters, before you vote, I must remind you that most people cannot comprehend JUST HOW MANY WASPS TEN BILLION IS. I’m not more than a sting blob now. Send prayers to the deity of your choice, I don’t care which one.
well, @recovering-redditor, if it had been ten MILLION wasps, I would have had a nice chuckle, a little, “haha, waspsinmyyard, you’re so funny! Please take me to the hospital now.” But NO. They unleashed ten BILLION wasps which makes more a of a difference than you’d think. I almost DIED.
Wait how much wasp are we talking, in volume, anyway
Fortunately for all of us, the question “what is the volume of a wasp?” has been asked before, and reddit user u/nvandvore has graced us with an answer: about 17.5 mm³.
Now I don’t know anything about packing wasps together, so let’s just assume a ten-however-many wasp attack can, in fact, attack you while packed together with no air in between. @waspsinyouryard, feel free to correct me on this.
Then 10,000,000 * 17.5 mm³ = 175,000,000 mm³ = 0.175 m³, or 175 liters, or 46.2 gallons of wasps; a harmless prank, I’m sure we can all agree!
But this is not the amount of wasps that were sent to @tabbycharlesisnotacat’s yard. So what does a thousand times as many wasps look like?
