hello!!! this is my alt account my main is @jackstheprinceofhearts <3 not sure exactly what i'll post here but it will probably be random stuff

vegans make peace with honey

no shut up do it

[calder]

vegans will pretend not to hear when natives tell them their agave products are unsustainable because they have whimsical feelings about, and i cannot stress this enough, the freedom of hive insects

Honey is literally murder but go off

[kasaron]

Prove it.

They literally puke their guts up to make your honey

[kasaron]

I have not seen any evidence tonsugges they are harmed or die in the process of production. They do regurgitate the nectar as part of the process to concentrate it into honey (an interesting process) but they do not suffer any injury during this process. If they did, the cost to produce honey, which is done naturally as a measure to survive over winter and through times of lower availability, would outweigh the benefits. If you kill several bees to produce enough honey to make one more bee, It makes no sense. Any animal that did that would die, even with human intervention.

Do you have any sources which suggest otherwise? I’d be interested to hear of this (relatively publicly available) information was false or misunderstood.

Bee farmers use whats called a honey maker. It’s a crude devices. It similar to a meat grinder. They force the bees in and grind them up. What comes out is a paste. That paste is later filtered into what we know as honey

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read

[leonardo-nierman]

@zoologicallyobsessed please show us pics of your bee grinder

[gemstone-gynoid]

they might be falsely thinking about a honey extractor machine. but all these do is you place the beehive frames inside and a motor rotates it at a speed that removes the honey, which is then tapped through a tap at the bottom. 

[darkenedyeastextract]

…do they think they put bees in that and spin them around until they vomit…?

bee carnival

[yeah-yeah-beebiss-1]

bad and naughty bees get put into the b e e c e n t r i f u g e to extract their honey

[bastlynn]

Vegans coming after beekeepers is one of my major teeth grinding annoyances. For many reasons, because there’s so many lies. And to go one step further because it’s such a waste. You see, the strongest vegan argument is that they don’t want to exploit animals or take from them without their consent.

… but… Bees consent. NO. I’M NOT KIDDING.

How? Bee hives aren’t kept on leashes. They’re outside, the bees can travel miles every day. They follow their queen. Who is also outside, not on a leash, and can travel miles every day. If she doesn’t like the hive for any reason - for example: it got too hot, too cold, too messy, too filled with sugary stuff and they need more space… then the queen leaves. And with her the hive.

The queen stays in the hive because the hive is the best place to live. Period. Done. End of. If the hive is staying with the beekeeper it’s because the keeper is doing their job correctly and keeping them happy because the bees can, and do, leave bad beekeepers.

Of all the animals we have domesticated as livestock, bees are the ones you can most easily argue are consenting participants in their keeping.

HELP I READ RHE PART WHERE THEY SAID BEE FARMERS "GRIND BEES UP" AND I STARTED CACKLING

[gregorsamsaisliterallyme]

currently reading letters to milena bc i went through a reading slump and bro....

this shit HURTS

[gregorsamsaisliterallyme]

im not sure how many of you can relate to this but the reson i enjoy taxidermy, insects, pathology, psychology, and the more "grim" and misunderstood subjects is because i, myself, feel misunderstood.

i think that's that same for a lot of people as well, we want to understand what others dont. we feel rejected by others so we want to be accepting of things that are strange to most.

i thought about this because any time i talk about anything to do with the dead, or insects, or psychology i always get strange reactions. and it made me think about why i like these things in general.

i want to understand the misunderstood.

it's always been so confusing to me why people dont get that.

but what do i know, its 11pm for me when im typing and posting this LMAOO

[gregorsamsaisliterallyme]

wishing you all a kafkaesque year<3

[gregorsamsaisliterallyme]

ive finally caught gregor samsa 😈😈😈😈

[jackstheprinceofhearts]

y'all gotta stop making AI art of book ships... it makes me so mad because there are so many talented artists who show their love and support by working hard to make a great drawing for their favorite book. the thing that actually shows that you care is putting work into it not making a computer do it for you. if you wanna use AI to make art please clarify in the post that it's AI and DONT DO FANART THAT WAY BECAUSE ITS NOT APPRECIATING ANYONE OR ANYTHING BECAUSE YOURE MAKING A COMPUTER DO IT!!!!! there's no love or support in AI art.

stop slandering my favorite ships

[jackstheprinceofhearts]

i feel like this should be talked about WAYYY more by the book community. we don't touch on it as much as we should.

[gregorsamsaisliterallyme]

the disrespect of deceased artists.

this is something that i wanted to talk about for a long time but didn't feel like it made very much sense to just post on my main account.

something i've always found disturbing is how the dead lose any autonomy over anything that they had while they were living. now, you may be thinking "well witcher that's what happens when people die because they can't make decisions on things"

well, what i'm talking about is how artists, poets, musicians, writers, etc of history had their work and art shown to the world without their consent after they passed. Think about how many classics you've read where everything was published AFTER the author passed.

an example that inspired me to write this was franz kafka's work published by his friend when he explicitly asked for it to be burnt. he wrote to that friend: "dearest max, my last request: Everything I leave behind me.....in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others'), sketches, and so on, [is] to be burned unread. .... yours, franz kafka" so, after being told that max brod decided he was going to publish ALL of kafka's work, and so he did.

this is actually a common occurrence with a lot of artists and writers after they pass and it's quite tragic to me because yes, their stories deserve to be told and the great accomplishments they had deserve to be known, but are we supposed to disregard all morals and respect for the dead so that we can have art? does being intelligent and great have to come at the price of your privacy being ripped away??? sure they may be dead and if there is no after life they would have no way of knowing about any of it but I still think it's disrespected who they WERE to have these things published without their consent.

this has always been something that has bothered me, but i'd like to hear your thoughts. feel free to add other examples of artists and writers this has happened to because I think it's a topic that should be discussed more.

[gregorsamsaisliterallyme]

just wanted to let you guys know that i bought the trial by franz kafka!!!! i'm very excited to read it :)))

[gregorsamsaisliterallyme]

you will learn german *holding one of those clock things* you will learn german for the sole purpose of reading kafka as it was originally written. you will learn german

I WANT TO BUT LEARNING THINGS IS HARD.

[gregorsamsaisliterallyme]

are you an innocent classic literature girly or a grotesque classic literature girlie???

[jackstheprinceofhearts]

the metamorphosis by franz kafka is really just gregor asking

"would you love me if i was a bug?"

and his family saying "no"

[gregorsamsaisliterallyme]

this book hurt me in the way no book should

[gregorsamsaisliterallyme]

i've been so into kafka after reading the metamorphosis it's actually insane, i am going to read everything this man wrote because he captured emotion so well and made me feel so much in 73 pages 🗣️🗣️

the sad thing about translated books is you can never fully grasp an authors work in the way it was intended to be read, and that will always plague my life

[gregorsamsaisliterallyme]
