If i remember correctly, they’re mini-swarming to warm that fucker up and make him die of heat stroke
They literally heat him up to about 1 degree less of the temperature that they can die from. Thank you college lol
Those are Japanese honey bees. They intentionally lure the Japanese hornet in because they evolved and adapted to their game, because otherwise the Hornet just marks the spot with her pheromones for her sisters to raid later. Japanese hornets are also so big that they overheat more easily so Japanese bees literally developed a strategy around it’’s one most exploitable vulnerability. And it takes about 3 hours for 20-30 Hornets to destroy a 30-40,000 population of bees. And it’s pure, brutal massacre. Other honeybees haven’t developed that strategy.
As mist haunts the Black Forest, a sure-footed red fox makes its way up the trunk of a half-fallen Douglas fir tree. This resourceful species, found across the Northern Hemisphere, is a symbol of cunning in many cultures and mythologies. KLAUS ECHLE
the only bad thing about garlic is all the paperwork you have to do before you can even cut it up
look at that
layers and layers of bureaucratic bullshit
this is a terrifyingly brave and insightful take
You need one of these:
we have one. i hate it
Do you not just….. Bang it with the flat side of a knife until it gives up the garlicky goodness?
I am now receiving extremely kind notes and messages from people who are concerned that I don’t know how to use A Garlic. I was not previously aware of people’s depth of feeling and compassion for this topic, and their worry for me. Don’t worry! I do know how to use a garlic! Thank you! I am Fine!
I just agree with this extremely fresh take, which compares the act of removing the papery skin of garlic bulb and garlic clove to doing paperwork. The connection between garlic and bureaucracy! A charm of wordplay, a little image hinging on the two different meanings and feelings associated with paper! The image, which demonstrates the two different types of paper that garlic surrounds itself with – the dry silky white of the outer bulb, the sticky purple of the inner clove. This is fresh! This is insight!
And yes! Yes it is brave! It is powerfully brave!! because the moment you question the necessity of the paperwork, people feel that you do not know how to use a garlic!! But I stand with OP, in respect and admiration! They’re right! The time has come to INTERROGATE THE BARRIERS OF OUR GATEKEEPERS
Exactly none of my close guy friends would be dead because they all know that if they ever did this and I found out, their decapitated head would be on a spike in my window by the next morning.
Addendum: unless he’s yelling something like “Run! It’s coming this way!” or “He’s right behind you!” and is not in fact lying…
The Stanford prison experiment tapes were so stupid when I watched them in AP psych and so stupid when I watch this film about them. Literally they could’ve all sat and played cards and got $15 a day to tell ghost stories all day and be best friends. But masculinity and whiteness and power created this violent irrationality that positioned young ass men to be met with brutality and trauma and disrespect even when it was obviously taken too far. and it makes no sense. If someone put me in a room with Black girls and said I would get paid $90 a day (that’s the equivalent apparently) to be a prison guard, do you know how fast I’d be sitting with them and learning about them and exchanging Instagrams and like.. sleeping.. like what the fuck was the point of any of that…
My psych teacher introduced us to this study and literally before she showed us was like “don’t ever confuse a study based on one type of person (white men/boys) to be an example of an Everyman situation. There is strong evidence that if this was recreated with diversity, or even just with girls, that the results would have been drastically different. This is an example of bias and sexism in the medical research community.”
“Other, more subtle factors also shaped the experiment. It’s often said that the study participants were ordinary guys—and they were, indeed, determined to be “normal” and healthy by a battery of tests. But they were also a self-selected group who responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking volunteers for “a psychological study of prison life.” In a 2007 study, the psychologists Thomas Carnahan and Sam McFarland asked whether that wording itself may have stacked the odds. They recreated the original ad, and then ran a separate ad omitting the phrase “prison life.” They found that the people who responded to the two ads scored differently on a set of psychological tests. Those who thought that they would be participating in a prison study had significantly higher levels of aggressiveness, authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and social dominance, and they scored lower on measures of empathy and altruism.”
The thing about this study is that whether or not it’s generalizable to the public is debatable at best.
But it’s certainly generalizable to the population of people who tend to be drawn to prison system and law enforcement jobs because that’s exactly the demographics that tend to show up in those positions.
