Kissaki ( @Kissaki@beehaw.org ) English37•8 months agoTo be honest seeing the logo where it appears small on the desktop site, I thought it was a top down view of a Bee with the hat being the head colour and the two eyes just being spots.
JCPhoenix ( @JCPhoenix@beehaw.org ) English14•8 months agoWow, I feel dumb. I’ve been here for a year and never looked closely at the bee (old or new). Never noticed the cowboy hat!
omg I only saw the bee in the logo due to it being smaller on a pc screen and thought the hat was just part of the Bee.
Scroll Responsibly ( @scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org ) English44•8 months agoThe old logo made it more clear:
That logo looks cool like the little CowBee is saying this hive ain’t big enough for the both of us. Though they would communicate it through dancing with that as the subtitles.

Hee hee hee I love this
PenguinCoder ( @Penguincoder@beehaw.org ) English9•8 months agohttps://old.beehaw.org to see that one more often.
nice I didn’t know there was an old version of the Beehaw site it feels very familiar.
0ops ( @0ops@lemm.ee ) English7•8 months agoHonestly I like that better
Scroll Responsibly ( @scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org ) English6•8 months agoSame
BougieBirdie ( @Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English14•8 months agoI prefer to think of a regular size bee with a giant cowboy hat
jarfil ( @jarfil@beehaw.org ) English4•8 months agoThat sound like a regular hat, with a regular bee… hiding inside.
Ouch!
ArxCyberwolf ( @Snowpix@lemmy.ca ) English9•8 months agoI always thought “beehaw” was a sound donkeys made. Somehow I never made the connection that it had anything to do with bees until now…
Warpedtwistedbody ( @Warpedtwistedbody@sopuli.xyz ) English7•8 months agoIt has confused me, as I (And friends) pronounce it Bee Whore. It has made me look at bees in a new way. No shaming of bees, please.
Edit: Maybe this is to do with my British accent?
Kissaki ( @Kissaki@beehaw.org ) English16•8 months agoI mean, there’s emojis like bee snuggle fox available
Cute emoji though I am not sure if that is a Bee sized Fox or a Fox sized Bee.
Lionir [he/him] ( @Lionir@beehaw.org ) English5•8 months agoThe answer is yes.
I think that is how most people pronounce it because Yee haw kind of sounds like yee whore. though it has a very different meaning.
ℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠 ( @Nemo@midwest.social ) English14•8 months agoWhat? Not in my accent. Is yours one of those where “claws” and “doors” rhyme?
Yes Claws and Doors rhymes in my accent.
JackGreenEarth ( @JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee ) English2•8 months agoHow else would you pronounce them?
ℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠 ( @Nemo@midwest.social ) English3•8 months agodifferent vowel sounds (short A like “father” versus long O like “oat”)
different final sounds (one ends with the mouth still on the vowel sound, one ends with an R sound)
JackGreenEarth ( @JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee ) English3•8 months agoKlaas and doh-errs.
ℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠 ( @Nemo@midwest.social ) English3•8 months agoClose enough, though “doors” is one syllable when I say it. Definitely not even a slant rhyme, though.
rand_alpha19 ( @rand_alpha19@moist.catsweat.com ) 8•8 months agoIn what accent does a W have an R sound? Australian?
Kamirose ( @Kamirose@beehaw.org ) English2•8 months agoSome northeastern US accents do something similar. Not sure the exact term for it but it is a linguistic thing. Words that end in A get turned into an R sound, like Emma sounding like Emmer.
rand_alpha19 ( @rand_alpha19@moist.catsweat.com ) 1•8 months agoAh, I thought that was largely an Appalachian thing. But I guess that isn’t quite the same since I don’t think “haw” sounds like “whore” down there.
t3rmit3 ( @t3rmit3@beehaw.org ) English1•8 months agoCertain British accents (like a London accent) have an ‘aw’ in particular sound like ‘or’. Not sure about Australian.
TheDorkfromYork ( @TheDorkfromYork@lemm.ee ) English3•8 months agoNever once.
