Bee farms are hotbeds for disease and hives are regularly incinerated by plugging the entrances with rags, drenching them in petrol and igniting them.

Yes, we pamper bees so so much.

On top of everything else the bees get to die? Sign me up

I promise you, bees do not benefit from humans using them for honey. Knocking them out, taking their food, causing disease, causing hives to collapse, none of it is good for the bees.

It's also terrible for the local pollinators as the bees out compete them all leading to ecosystem collapse once varroa mites move in

then the aliens spray roundup on us and turn up the temperature.

imagine we make contact with an alien species that's like, vastly technologically superior, they could fucking kill us in a single shot if they really wanted to

and this species has never eaten salad before. and we show them salad and they eat it and they're like holy living fuck this is tasty. and suddenly they're offering us huge houses with all kind of advanced technological shit and incredible medical care and all the amenities and everything, with the only condition that we keep making salad for them.

and like, salad isn't even hard to make. grab some plants, dump em in a bowl. it doesn't have to be fancy salad, they'll fall all over themselves for the most mediocre salad in the world. we can make so much salad that we're practically drowning in it, even if we eat some of the salad ourselves. and in exchange we're protected from danger, we have great living conditions, it's basically paradise compared to life on earth imagine

z-nogyrop

now realize that this is what bees have done to us

Thanks. Do you use a screen reader by any chance? I'm just using ocr and it gets the formatting weird but lemmy markup makes it look fine once submitted. I'm curious if it's wonky for people using screen readers though.

No, I personally have no need for the transcription, but I appreciate it nonetheless

ehhh that's a plot point on American Dad and the aliens decide to recreate earth just so they can have frozen yogurt after an alien destroyed earth.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was Chinese ice cream, but otherwise yeah.

You are messing up episodes and plot points.

Frozen jogurt was the treat that alien Jeff presented to the other aliens that made then leave Earth alone. But Earth was not destroyed on that episode

In Brave N00b World, Earth is destroyed by nuclear weapons after Stan fails to kill a North Korean general during the Overwatch finals. During the last few hours both China and the USA launch "cultural pods" which collide. China's pod contains Chinese ice cream, and that what the aliens found millions of years later, which leads to them recreating the planet.

I have major depression and I have watched almost every episode many, many times, I know what I'm talking about.

I have access to all the episodes and I was talking about Brave N00b World - it's actually ambiguous the type of ice cream it is. The USA and the Chinese culture pods collide and explode and you don't really get to see which pod it came from.

I assumed it was the frozen yogurt because Brave N00b World takes place after the Jeff episodes which there are more than one of.

The intersection of my Catholic upbringing and the phrase "holy living fuck" is turning out to be rather fertile ground.

"All holy and ever-living Fuck, we praise you always and everywhere. Through our Lord, Jesus Christ, your son, who lives and reigns with you in the holy spirit. One Fuck, forever and ever, amen. Let us rise and join our voices as we praise the One True Fuck."

Do you have a specific tune in mind to go with the hymn?
