Other insects mostly. Technically also birds, but birds are too quick and too strong so the fight is usually over before the bee can sting.
Bees don’t die when they sting. They have a barbed stinger, human skin is elastic and that’s why they get stuck. Our first reaction is to swat or swipe on the site of stinging which rips their stinger off by force. If you leave the bee alone, it will wiggle and twirl around, trying to get itself unstuck and sometimes that is successful, sometimes they’re fucked. The bee didn’t really commit suicide when stinging, you killed it.
Also, did you know that the queen bee has almost full control over their offspring? It works like this: The queen bee only mates once in her life during the nuptial flight and stores the sperm in her spermatheca (like a sperm sac), the drone usually dies in the process because mating tears their endophallus off and the trauma kills him. After founding a colony the queen can now choose whether to fertilize her eggs or not and if she does, a female larva will hatch from the fertilized egg, else a drone larva will hatch through a process called haploid parthenogenesis.
The destiny of becoming a queen or a worker depends entirely on the diet the female larva is fed: all larvae are fed royal jelly (a special secretion from worker bees) for a few days and then worker bees are switched to what is called bee bread which is a mix of pollen and nectar while future queens stay on the royal jelly diet. The royal jelly lets the bees develop their ovaries, making them capable of laying eggs. Technically, all worker bees can lay eggs (which could only produce drones), but in a healthy colony, they will be switched off the royal jelly soon enough so that this rarely occurs.
So, in a way, worker bees can stage a mutiny if they are unhappy with their current queen by feeding a larva royal jelly, rearing a new queen.
Bees are awesome.
I just find it difficult to believe that one can live for 79 years and be that stupid.
The AFO replacement was never meant to be taken seriously, it was just to make the bribery less obvious to his cult. It’s the classic seed of doubt that fascists like to spread, so their gullible supporters and enablers can calm themselves down before the cognitive dissonance that they actually just support/enable fascism sets in. All it was is a ruse, the aircraft was always meant to go to Trump’s “personal library after Jan 2029”.
I don’t understand, is Trump just trying to be an edgelord? Or is it the only thing he has left to convince his cult that he is playing 5D chess? Or is he simply a moron?
They’ll jump in your mouth.
Prices only ever go up, except (wanted to write eggcept) for raw materials. Supply and demand is a lie.
He was a disgrace in 2016, but it seems like he really turned it up a notch for this presidency. Speaks volumes about US citizens for electing this fool again, too.
I assume the big boys lost more money from the tariff insanity than they made from getting their next tax cut. Losing money is the only thing they do not tolerate because it hurts them in their inhouse pissing contest on who can be the biggest societal parasite.
I heard that first in American History X when Danny said: “I hate anyone that isn’t white Protestant.”
Why are idiots so good at finding completely unimportant things to hate on when they could instead hate rapists or murderers?
I read it as “it’s a shock that she came in second” lol
I hope you’re not wrong, but political opposition was disappeared very quickly in Nazi Germany. It really didn’t take long: Hitler was appointed chancellor on January 30th, 1933 and the first “dissidents” were disappeared the day after the Reichtagsbrand, so February 28th, 1933.
Keep away from dust explosions, they are very uncontrollable because they ignite very fast and produce a lot of heat. It’s technically not an explosion, but it definitely is an easy way to burn your house down.
Wood is also combustible. You need a lot of heat to make wood burn. Hold a lighter to your pencil, it will not instantly catch fire, do the same with paper and you need a water bucket nearby.
You’re not dense for asking a question. Without asking questions, it’s Impossible to learn.
The flash point is different. The flash point is the temperature that is necessary to create enough vapor for the substance to ignite.
Flammable material has a low flash point, which means it catches on fire easily. Think gasoline. Combustibles need a higher initial temperature, but eventually they will burn and sustain the burning until running out. Think wood.
Nothing. They commented that it’s a small step to correct a huge mistake tho. They really got the knack of how to fake-compliment idiots in a patronizing way lol
I’m number 4, but instead of looking for a job, the pattern is subject to my crippling depression. Most of the time I simply feel that it’s pointless to work on my projects, so I don’t :(
I took speed once with a friend and he was completely off the rails, I didn’t feel anything. Is that a bad sign?
