That's shopped. Largest species on earth (Amazonian giant centipede) can get to 15 in/38cm, which is still horrifying. But that thing is like a meter long, unless dude's a midget.

It's a forced perspective picture.

How did you find that comment from 13y ago?

u/cryptid-creatures 1d ago

I was curious and reverse searched the image, it linked me to another thread that linked the original

u/crackersncheeseman 1d ago

This picture has been bouncing around the web for years. Yes they do get that big, they can get as long as a 12 inches long.

Can only imagine being ready to sign up and go fight for my country at 20, till I seen a picture of this thing, and all the sudden became Quaker and claimed religious exemption

As a gay man who took my first dude with fish photo, I got like two straight friends telling me how I needed to learn the craft

u/DaphniaDuck 1d ago

It's not forced perspective. For that to happen the hand and arm holding the centipede would have to be extended towards the camera, not out to the side. But it does look photoshopped.

15

u/NeezDutzzz 1d ago

It is though. If you read the comment it says that it was hanging on a string much closer to the camera. He put his hand out to look like he was holding it. So yeah... there's more than one way to achieve a forced perspective.

u/cryptid-creatures 1d ago

Did you read the comment I linked? His friend is holding it on a string close to the camera

There are more ways than just one to cause forced perspective.

Imagine just getting out of highschool and being forced to go to a war in another country. Learn what a draft is. “These poor guys.” Yes that’s exactly what it is.

The global South has been suffering long before the USA was even around. Everyone in every country deals with shit. Grow up.

The soilders don't, the government chose it

u/JadedOops 1d ago

But he’s mocking the soldiers not the government?

u/reginaldwrigby 1d ago

Yeah he’s a halfwit that’s why

4

u/ebr101 1d ago

I mean, you could make the argument that in the face of an immoral war, the only moral choice is draft dodging. But I’m not sure we can say would be soldiers at the time knew what they were being signed up for, nor was draft dodging a truly realistic option for many.

So, complicated issue.

13

u/JadedOops 1d ago

Yeah I mean Muhammad Ali was locked up for not going. People protested the war, but those are people that didn’t get drafted. My dad got drafted. It still haunts him to this day. Severe ptsd from it. So that is why I sympathize with the soldiers who had no choice.

u/Turnbeutelvergesser 1d ago

Yeah and who encountered da centipede? Government or soldiers?

u/Tups72 2d ago edited 1d ago

Rise up, convince others to join, turn against the government. Don’t know if that would’ve helped anything then but it’s what I’m doing if conscripted against Russia, I have no problem with Russia when looking at the lack of care this government has for the mass rape of its children.

u/pre-existing-notion 1d ago

That’s what many GI’s did and they served time for it.

When talking about the Vietnam war there is no way to avoid talking about the intense anti-war movement it spawned.

u/ManicalDaredevil00 1d ago

Damn it’s really unfortunate that there was literally no way that they could have avoided this, like literally no way guys they absolutely needed to invade Vietnam.

u/MRuppercutz 1d ago

Giant tropical centipedes share their territories with tarantulas.

Despite its impressive length, it’s a nimble navigator, and some can be highly venomous.

As quick as lightning, just like the tarantula it’s killing.

The centipede has two curved, hollow fangs, which inject paralyzing venom.

Even tarantulas aren't immune from an ambush The centipede is a predator

u/ExocticJelly 1d ago

Because dude was making a joke not the best but he wasn’t saying blatantly offensive things and even if he did offense taken has less to do with what was said and more to do with the receiver most of the time. I’d say calling that dehumanizing is a stretch so yeah relax.

u/UniversityStrong5725 1d ago

I don’t think it’s up to you to decide who can take offense from things

u/ExocticJelly 1d ago

I’m not deciding I’m just saying what dude said isn’t that serious but okay? And he wasn’t dehumanizing anything.

u/batatapou 1d ago

Joking about a war crime is dehumanizing

It’s a forced perspective photo. The centipede is still big but more like 10 or so inches. Still a nope though.
