No wonder billionaire Bruce Wayne fought against her so much.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (4 children)

because shes a mass murderer? she didnt even care about the earth until the 1990s

and even then, bruce wayne would expose the ceo and ruin his life without killing him (as seen in batman the animated series)

People change!

Ivy didn't change for the better. For example, Poison Ivy hates vegans for eating plants. The problem with that line of thinking is that cows are made of grass and corn, so eating a kilo of beef ends up using a lot more plants than a kilo. But Ivy hasn't thought about that fact, because she doesn't have a plan. She's just angry.

She's just angry

Considering the state of the world, I can't blame her.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

I get how she could be upset about eating leaves or roots, but fruits are made to be eaten!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Poison Angry. Maybe she should be killing the cows for eating the grass. What does she eat btw?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Maybe she photosynthesizes?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

According to my "research" mostly Catwomen and Harley Quinn.

If you can’t handle her on her worst day…

Did any of Batman's villains have characterization before the 90s? I thought they were just gimmicky villains-of-the-week.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Joker, Killer crock, and Penguin kinda had it. Batman the Animated series did a good job reinventing a lot of characters, a prome example is Mr. Freeze.

Which is a comic book fantasy. It's a nice story for kids, but doesn't hold up to reality and only further vilifies environmentalists.

Exposing CEOs doesn't do anything because the rich have the government in their pocket. Remember the Panama papers? Yeah, that accomplished nothing.

i didnt realise batman was a real guy in real life. huh.

Save the local bee species, please, not the commercial ones.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

At least here in my city (Curitiba - somewhere in the southern cone), the city hall has been plopping beehouses across the city, all of them with native species. That has been going on for a few years, and I did notice them far more often (they go crazy for my sage).

I feel like other places in the Americas could / should do the same.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Yes... An inexpensive idea, how dare you suggest such an easy solution... They need at least 5 consultants to reach a more expensive solution.... 🙄

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a great idea. Hopefully, while adopting the most recent understanding that the overwinter huddling behavior is due to the insufficient design of artificial hives, not typical behavior. They should be cozy, too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Temperatures here rarely go below 0°C, and when it does it's often just for the night, so huddling isn't a concern. What could be a concern would be summer overheating, but they actually put some thought on where to install those bee houses, they're mostly shadowed by trees.

Pic related. Mind you, this is urban perimeter, around a gov building.

How about we stop adding extra conditions that just make things more complicated and make people not want to put in the effort to care if there are constant additions.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I don't actually know if this is true, so somebody jump in if I'm wrong, but the answer is, because it doesn't actually help, and may even make the underlying problem worse.

Trends don't always operate with the level of nuance needed to be an actual solution, but the problem still requires what it requires to be solved, whether or not somebody's heart is in the right place.

Keep it simple. Help the pollinators. Stop spraying poison on your lawn, and let the clover and other flowering plants in.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago

at first I thought this was "out of context comics" but everybody knows the context

Spitting facts

The save the bees people need to fire their marketing dept. All it literally took was me finding out that wasps and Hornets can pick up the slack and will gladly do so - in order to get me donating to some local keepers

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Imagine a world where hornets are kept to pollinate our food crops. Not a world I wanna live in.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

Eat the rich with a honey glaze. 🤤

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

so that's what all the buzz is about

This, but for the lot of them.

One down...
