This really happened. To real fucking people, just like you and me.
I always thought that was an urban legend, didn't know it was a real thing
Joseph Nelson
You've never gone to school have you?
Jackson Morgan
If you think that was bad, look up scaphism. I'd take the bulk 100x before scaphism.
Adam Reed
l learned this from Amnesia the dark descent
sounds familiar. Is that where you are strapped into a honey coffin while bugs and animals eat you alive?
John Smith
Yeah. we humans have come up with many different and horrible ways of torturing and killing each other. There was one method, where essentially, a guy wsa tied to a small boat, and had another boat tied on top to serve as a lid of sorts. The dude's hands, feet, and head were left outside though, like a turtle. He was fed milk and honey until he was gorged, and had his hands, feet and head slathered in honey as well. Then he was cast adrift into a lake. The honey would attract insects, that would begin eating it and swarming his exposed body. Meanwhile, all the milk and honey would cause digestive trouble and so he'd shit and puke all over himself. So he'd be left to rot on his own filth, while slowly being devoured by insects with absolutely no way of resisting.
James Howard
Yeah, but the worst part is, almost everyone died from septic shock from infected wounds filled with their own shit, which takes like a week.
Robert Bailey
That the one where they open you up just enough to let the rot set in, bugs eat you, and you live like that up to weeks before death?
Landon Nguyen
this is what the average normie wants to happen to you
Lucas Reed
Humans really do some horrific things. Existence is a terrible thing sometimes.
Jaxon Thompson
Fun fact The guy who built the brazen bull was actually thrown into his own invention and roasted alive by the tyrant he built it for
Josiah Jenkins
This is how circumcision doctors should be executed.
That's some basic stuff you learn in history classes when studying ancient history, at least if you're not a burger.
Leo Gonzalez
We don't have time to teach our children about dead civilizations since we have so much history of our own nation to teach them. Must suck having no culture, huh, yuropoor?
bruh, we still get taught world history. What the fuck state are you from?
Easton Watson
Scaphism is worse
Samuel Reyes
this literally was not taught in any of the history classes I took, I'd have remembered that
Jason Morales
Without looking it up, where was the bull made?
Josiah Richardson
>yfw most of us are gonna starve or get lynched african style when society collapses
Blake Roberts
My dad has a safe full of guns, so if shit really hits the fan I should be able to blow my brains out.
Owen Turner
Whenever I'm in a shit mood, I just think, "At least I haven't gotten my dick cut off with a rusty butter knife and shoved up my ass." It at least makes things a little better. Things could always be worse.
>spark of divinity what economic factors led to such desperate measures?
Luis Martin
scaphism was quite bad as well. Lots of fucked up shit happened in the past, and still does in shitholes.
Kevin Scott
It was greek, but it doesn't matter. The claim was "We don't have time to teach our children about dead civilizations", which is false. Pretty much all schools in my state teach both world history, and world literature. We are not a blue state or anything gay like that either, it's just good to know why the world is the way it is. I give the same amount of shit to europeans and canucks when they don't know what or who some prominent historical figure is.
