do the spiderverse kids all have. slightly different meme cultures
miles: look I can fit my whole fist in my mouth
gwen: freaky flexing. but alright
miles:
miles, through his fist: I’m sorry what did you just say
ok but remember Peter B’s world is most like ours
so both Miles and Gwen would have slightly off memes and distress him when he has a hard enough time remembering his own world’s memes
I WAS HOPING SOMEBODY WOULD POINT THIS OUT.
Miles: It’s “strange flex but cool beans.” Peter: Am I tripping on something? Is this a stroke, is this what a stroke feels like?
Miles: *makes a mistake* This is distressing. Siri play Take on Me.
Gwen: you absolute heathen. It’s ‘This is tragic, google play All Star.’
Peter: whAT the fUCK
THAT’S IT THIS ONE IS THE BEST ONE
noir: strange flaunt, but alas
Noir:
You’ve done it - you found something that fits the format but holds the meaning “fuck Nazis”.
spiderham: hmm disappointing, jukebox play what’s new pussycat
Are you still active?
Not nearly as much as I used to be.

Crows normally walk. This one seems to have both legs working, so he’s not hopping out of necessity, he’s doing it for fun. Corvids can sometimes be seen doing things like this for no evident reason other than enjoyment.

THIS OFFICE HAD ITS BLINDS UP AND THIS IS WHAT I SAW
i’m losing my mind. this is a high rise office building on the upper east side of manhattan. and the only piece of art on the wall in this office is a bikini clad anime girl with humongous bazookas that are bouncing out of sync. this can’t be real someone wake me up
I know this print, it’s actually considered a fine art piece! It’s clearly based on Takashi Murakami’s live-sized statue ‘Hiropon’:
Which, yes, she’s skipping rope with milk that she’s lactating from her bazongas. It’s actually part of a set, the other one being titled ‘Lonesome Cowboy’:
Which features a Cloud look-alike lassoing with his cum.
Murakami is well known for taking ‘low art’ subject matter (anime, hentai, penises) and placing them in ‘high art’ contexts. I actually saw Hiropon in personal with my own two eyes at the Denver Museum of Art back in 2009. A lot of what he does is satirical, and it’s honestly pretty funny to see pictures of his artwork in American museums, surrounded by confused white baby boomers.
That said, without the context, it DEFINITELY slaps you in the face and makes you question what the fuck is going on. Had I not found out who he was in college, Hiropon would still haunt me as the most confusing thing I’ve ever seen in a museum.
god thank you for explaining this but also i’m still being slapped in the face as i type

It’s great how everyone wants to save the bees, but I have a feeling many of y'all dont know what bees need saving.
Honeybees are invasive in the United States. Raising honeybee colonies is detrimental to native bee populations that actually provide true ecosystem benefits. Keeping honeybees to save the bees is like keeping chickens to help the native bird population, (only worse, because honeybees are horrible for native bee populations like local bumblebees, which are the pollinators among others we should be trying to save more specifically) . Honeybees were imported and domesticated long ago, but their populations are aggressive and more adaptive due to being invasive – honeybee populations have risen by 4.5% while localized native species’ populations are declining, and honeybees displace/destroy native bee populations. Honeybees in the USA thrive in larger numbers than bumbles, have longer living hives, and aggressively swarm around water/food sources, preventing bumblebees/other native pollinators like hummingbirds from doing their job. Honeybees have also been studied for the devastating effects of transfering disease and fungus to bumblebees populations, even in remote areas far from where farmers established honeybee populations. Many farmers and monocultures are definitely a major part of the problem. They import non native bees, soak single species fields in pesticides, exacerbating the problem (eliminating suitable habitat for native bees and introducing massive competition on top of that).
“From a typical bumblebee colony of a few hundred, only the young queens survive the winter, hibernating until they can start their own colonies in spring. Farmers usually buy new colonies from breeders each year. Honey bees, in contrast, live in colonies of up to 60,000 bees, and these colonies can persist indefinitely.” – From, ‘How The Bees You Know Are Killing The Bees You Don’t’ , Inside Science.org
If you want to help local bee populations, research and plant native flowers in your area, and attempt to find which flowers in particular they seem to prefer. Beekeeping honeybees, and planting non-native flowers (honeybees can pollinate and prefer non native flowers in many cases, they draw them in – always plant native plants if you can) is the opposite of helping. I cannot stress how important it is to NOT import non-native bees.
And if you want confirmation, a simple Google search of ‘honeybees invasive’ should render plenty of results. I apologize if there are any errors, I wrote this quickly.
This is correct, thank you for making a post about it. Recent science has strongly associated , essentially proving the link showing how honey bees pass diseases to native bee populations. I have copied below from the article summarizing the study .
“The research team – three scientists from the University of Vermont and one from the University of Florida – explored 19 sites across Vermont. They discovered that two well-know RNA viruses found in honeybees – deformed wing virus and black queen cell virus – were higher in bumblebees collected less than 300 meters from commercial beehives. The scientists also discovered that active infections of the deformed wing virus were higher near these commercial apiaries but no deformed wing virus was found in the bumblebees they collected where foraging honeybees and apiaries were absent.Most impressive, the team detected viruses on 19% of the flowers they sampled from sites near apiaries. “I thought this was going to be like looking for a needle in a haystack. What are the chances that you’re going to pick a flower and find a bee virus on it?” says Alger. “Finding this many was surprising.” In contrast, the scientists didn’t detect any bee viruses on flowers sampled more than one kilometer from commercial beehives.”
what also scared me was “ Alger – an expert beekeeper and researcher in UVM’s Department of Plant & Soil Science and Gund Institute for Environment – is deeply concerned about the long-distance transport of large numbers of honeybees for commercial pollination. “Big operators put hives on flatbed trucks and move them to California to pollinate almonds and then onto Texas for another crop,” she says – carrying their diseases wherever they go. And between bouts of work on monoculture farm fields, commercial bees are often taken to more pristine natural habitats “to rest and recover, where there is diverse, better forage,” says Alger.”

This article is about specific species affected by honeybees. The only area they don’t seem to hurt native bees too much is in their own native habitat in Europe. Everywhere else, they can become a problem based on the science.

“How the Honeybee Buzz Hurts Wild Bees“
“But honeybees are at no risk of dying off. While disease, parasites, and other threats are certainly real problems for beekeepers, the total number of managed honeybees worldwide has risen by 45 percent over the last half century.“Honeybees are not going to go extinct,” says Scott Black, executive director of the Xerces Society. “We have more honeybee hives than we’ve ever had and that’s simply because we manage honeybees. Conserving honeybees to save pollinators is like conserving chickens to save the birds.””
“Contrary to public perception, die-offs in honeybee colonies are an agricultural problem, not a conservation issue. First domesticated about 9,000 years ago, honeybees are not all that different from livestock. They are also not native to the United States; they were imported from Europe to help pollinate crops around 1622.Meanwhile, native bees—of which there are over 20,000 species varying in size, shape, and color—are experiencing incredible losses. Of the nearly 4,000 native bee species in the United States alone, four native bumblebee species have declined 96 percent in the last 20 years, and three others are believed to have gone extinct. In the last 100 years, 50 percent of Midwestern native bee species disappeared from their historic ranges.”

I have to correct my original post! I had previously written “honeybee populations have risen by 4.5% while localized native species’ populations are declining,” and that is incorrect. I had totally misread the number which was underlined in the article, the underline looked like a decimal point to me. I’m sorry about that!
I changed it to “managed honeybee populations worldwide have risen by 45%, while localized native bee species’ populations are declining.”

I also corrected: “and honeybees displace/destroy native bee populations.”
And changed it to: “and honeybees can displace/take food from native bee populations.“
