Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.
You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?
So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?
So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?
I don’t know about other cultures, but in English folklore, when a beekeeper dies someone has to go out and tell the bees.
Imagine you’re a neolithic hunter-gatherer, just hanging out, sacrificing stuff to your god, when a new god you’ve never met before shows up and tells you that your god is dead, it’s not your fault or anything, and maybe a new god will come along to take care of you, maybe not, it’s gonna be touch and go for a while
Apparently in medieval Europe they also whispered secrets to the bees.
So imagine the mildly eldritch God you worship talks to you and tells you secrets, but these secrets make no sense to you and are incomprehensible to understand or even know they are secrets. But your God does make vibrations at you, so thats probably a good thing right??
Also occasionally the Swarm decides there is not enough room in the Hive because the eldritch god didn't take the offering of Honey at their normal time. So enough of a Swarm builds up that the second queen is able to leave without decimating the first Swarm. They are all set to search out a new place that will likely not have your God anymore (but really that's not too much of a struggle, they have abandoned you, that's part of why you've left, even though the first Swarm still holds out hope for their return).
And then, the scouts find another Hive right next to the old Hive. Literally right next to it. So the Queen lands to inspect it and wow, it's a good deal. The area already has enough food to support 2 Hives, so it's a not problem to stay in the area now that they have the space, but...this wasn't here before.
And then you see God, they've come to help the Swarm move to the new Hive and take the offering from the old Hive. Truly this must have been their plan all along
In English folklore, you ALSO have to invite your bees to your wedding, and decorate their hive, and leave a slice of cake for them, and also bring your new spouse by to introduce them to the hive straightaway. Imagine your eldritch god doing THAT.
if only all gods were so well-mannered
fuck esports, the only correct way to play smash is the way my 7 y/o niece plays it: connecting 2 controllers, setting one as peach, setting the other as marth, pretending marth is peach’s boyfriend and then playing virtual barbie and ken with them
smash esports livestream but it’s just thousands of people tuning in to watch my niece make bayonetta marry solid snake on the zelda temple stage
esports commentator: now watch what she does here. shes crouching with snake to indicate hes proposing. blink and youll miss it: she uses down+b to place a bomb- this is the wedding ring. going back to bayonetta, shes going to ever so slightly tilt the left stick forward, now this serves two purposes: 1.) to make sure she doesnt set off that bomb when she goes to accept snakes proposal, which would obviously ruin the whole scene, but 2.) and this is a more subtle touch, to show bayonettas hesitation. that's something we know about bayonettas character, shes very independent, so thats the true work of a master to incorporate that into their gameplay

The dish soap I use used to claim to be “organic”, but now it just says its ingredients are “thoughtfully sourced”, which may well be the most beautiful example of meaningless doublespeak I’ve ever encountered.
It’s been a year and a half, but I think I’ve finally run into something that goes one better: I just saw a pre-made salad kit that claims to be environmentally friendly on the grounds that its contents are “inspired by locally grown ingredients”.
Roll that one around in your head a bit.
As a fishmonger one of my side responsibilities is to keep the pre-packaged processed seafood aisle stocked. We were selling “organic breaded lemon sole filets” with green packaging and all. Now an organic fish has to be farmed to fit the organic label, and if you’re familiar with seafood you may know that lemon soles are not farmed -like most fish really- which immediately struck me as odd. Turns out the breading was done with organic flour. That’s it.
i think that the time between caesar’s assassination and octavian naming himself princeps is objectively the funniest period of roman history. just nonstop drama.
caesar dying under a statue of pompey so that the last thing he sees is his old political rival with his dick out
nobody telling cicero anything even though they knew he hated caesar because cicero is incapable of shutting the fuck up
them calling out to cicero to save the republic as they stabbed caesar was the first cicero heard of the plot
cicero crying in a letter afterwards about how it hurt his feelings that he wasnt invited to the stabbing (”how i wish you had invited me to that glorious banquet on the ides of march!”)
liberatores massively underestimating how much the middle/lower classes loved caesar and having to barricade themselves on the capitoline and then flee italy altogether because they were going to get ripped apart
them trying to defend their assassination by claiming that caesar was a tyrant and his authority should not have been recognized and therefore it was a just action. only for them to flee to the provinces that were awarded to them by caesar, meaning that they actually did recognize his authority
mark antony thinking that he was going to be named caesar’s heir only to find out during the public reading of his will that caesar had actually named his great-nephew his heir.
octavian wasn’t even in rome at the time. mark antony really rolled up to the reading in the forum thinking he was gonna have it made only to be publicly embarrassed
antony claiming that the only reason octavian was named heir was because he bribed caesar with sexual favors
mark antony accusing anyone of sexual impropriety
the triumvirs being two middle aged generals and one teenage boy who knew he held all the cards. all three of these people hated each other.
cicero somehow thinking that he could win octavian to his side (despite cicero being a very vocal opponent of his late adoptive father) and that if octavian held high political office cicero could manipulate him to secure his own political power
these favors amounting to absolutely nothing when octavian was like yeah we’re gonna put him on the kill list
the irony of marcus tullius “yeah lets execute the catilinarian conspirators without trial despite them being roman citizens. this will absolutely not come back to bite me in the ass” cicero getting executed without trial
lepidus not realizing he was the lepidus of the story and trying to rally his legions to get rid of octavian only for all of them to go “nah, fuck that.” and defect to octavian
i need to emphasize how funny this was. lepidus was a general with years of military experience and all of his men just fucking up and left him for the kid who hides in his tent during battles
octavian didn’t even kill lepidus for this he just told him to fuck off and he did.
octavian’s habit of mysteriously falling ill before several battles and staying in his tent while his friend agrippa did all the work
I’m currently taking a Roman history class in which we are literally going to be spending the last two weeks of the semester roleplaying this period. Based on this post, I am going to pull HARD to play Mark Antony.
Chinese giant salamander (娃娃鱼) a.k.a ‘baby fish’ due to the sound they make that sounds like a baby crying.
The Chinese giant salamander is one of the largest salamanders and one of the largest amphibians in the world. It is fully aquatic and is endemic to rocky mountain streams and lakes in the Yangtze river basin of central China.
The Chinese giant salamander is considered to be a "living fossil". Although protected under Chinese laws, its population has faced severe declined over the last 70 years and is currently (2022) listed as threatened. There are evidence indicating that the Chinese giant salamander may be composed of at least five cryptic species, further compounding each individual species' endangerment.
Here is a video of a 200-year-old Chinese giant salamander that was found in a cave.
This brownie batter is poorly mixed, and also escaping.
(I gotta try and find a video of the noise they apparently make. I’ve never heard of a salamander of any sort making noise.)
We are dealing with emotional and intellectual three year-olds.
I keep thinking about the libertarians who took over a small town, eliminated & ignored all safety rules, then got eaten by bears.
sorry what

So I work at a library and about a month ago I helped a little old woman who is legally blind figure out how to listen to our audiobooks on her tablet. We got to chatting and I mentioned that I always listen to audiobooks while I knit, which made her very excited and she told me all about the afghans she used to make when she could still see. She was so sweet and I was so glad to be able to help her figure out a way to still enjoy books without being able to read.
Yesterday I answered the phone at work and when I said my name the woman on the other line got so excited and said “Madeline?? You’re exactly who I wanted to talk to! This is Marie, you helped me about a month ago. How late are you working today?” It was her!! And about an hour later she and her husband showed up, and she was carrying a huge stack of old knitting patterns for me, and her husband brought in a few boxes full of yarn. They couldn’t stay long but I was so touched that she remembered me, and I struggled to not just flat out start crying when she handed me the patterns. When I looked through them later I realized it was her entire personal collection from over the years, including all her personal notes and drawings and even some photographs of her finished pieces. No one in my family knits, and to have someone pass on their legacy to me like that was incredibly moving.
This isn’t what I usually post here, but with life being especially dark lately I wanted to share a moment of happiness and a reminder that a bit of kindness goes a long way ♡
