Wasps aren’t evil. They are important pollinators and they are literally just hanging out. I am sick and tired of the wasp hate.

And they are at the very least annoying af. Maybe not ‘all’ wasps but the ones you notice for sure.
Just go eat my ice cream but quit buzzing around my head like an idiot.
Believe me, I love nature and there are very few animals, even insects, I cannot abide, but wasps are one of the few.

Wait until you hear about mushrooms. This one tastes great. This one will send you to a deep mind state for an afternoon. This one will melt your liver. They all look the same.

They definitely don’t all look the same haha. I’ve picked and eaten thousands of mushrooms without issue. Most people can learn how to do it in an afternoon with proper instruction (not on your own though, there is real danger if you don’t know what you’re doing).

Fun fact, most people who died from poisonous mushrooms thought they or the one they trusted knew what they were doing. Thinking you know what you’re doing doesn’t prevent mushroom poisoning, thinking you know what you’re doing is almost a prerequisite.
- LibertyLizard ( @LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net ) 1•1 hour ago
Well at a certain point you have to take responsibility for your own actions. I’m just saying it’s not hard to learn if you actually have the right instruction, either from someone who does know or from quality guides. The issue is as a beginner, you may not know what that looks like.
By the way, most poisonings happen when people just eat random things without even attempting to identify them. So it’s not like they died from the deadly false button mushroom or something. They’re just morons.

lmao, nice

To be fair, a lot of them are children. But also some adults. It’s more common than you would think.
Plus we now have a new category of dum-dums: “But the app said it was edible!”
Again, I don’t want to imply that eating wild mushrooms is safe. Just that it’s not difficult to learn how to do it safely.

Wasps are pretty chill unless you’re being the asshole.

If being an asshole includes sitting on your porch and enjoying life, sure.

I’ve got some wasps living in the railing of my balcony. They don’t care that I’m sitting there at all…

The main evil here are the humans who steal all the bees honey at a unfathomably larger scale than wasps.

Except some species target bee hives and kill all the fuzzballs to get to the honey.

Been playing Disco Elysium again and seeing this makes me wonder if a wasp, given ceramic armor and an automatic weapon, would destroy a bee hive all by itself or if the bees would fuck up that wasp.
- gnu ( @gnu@lemmy.zip ) 5•1 day ago
The bees would still overcome the wasp, assuming it’s a large hive. The wasp will have practical limitations on the amount of ammunition for the weapon (also the question of whether it can reload before getting swarmed) and the ceramic armour won’t help against the bees massing together to form a ball of bees around the wasp and overheating it until it dies.
Edit: Apparently it depends on the type of bees as to whether they do the heat ball of death thing, so your mileage may vary.
