I promise you, bees do not benefit from humans using them for honey. Knocking them out, taking their food, causing disease, causing hives to collapse, none of it is good for the bees.
imagine we make contact with an alien species that's like, vastly technologically
superior, they could fucking kill us in a single shot if they really wanted to
and this species has never eaten salad before. and we show them salad and
they eat it and they're like holy living fuck this is tasty. and suddenly they're
offering us huge houses with all kind of advanced technological shit and
incredible medical care and all the amenities and everything, with the only
condition that we keep making salad for them.
and like, salad isn't even hard to make. grab some plants, dump em in a bowl. it
doesn't have to be fancy salad, they'll fall all over themselves for the most
mediocre salad in the world. we can make so much salad that we're practically
drowning in it, even if we eat some of the salad ourselves. and in exchange
we're protected from danger, we have great living conditions, it's basically
paradise compared to life on earth
imagine
z-nogyrop
now realize that this is what bees have done to us
Thanks. Do you use a screen reader by any chance? I'm just using ocr and it gets the formatting weird but lemmy markup makes it look fine once submitted. I'm curious if it's wonky for people using screen readers though.
The intersection of my Catholic upbringing and the phrase "holy living fuck" is turning out to be rather fertile ground.
"All holy and ever-living Fuck, we praise you always and everywhere. Through our Lord, Jesus Christ, your son, who lives and reigns with you in the holy spirit. One Fuck, forever and ever, amen. Let us rise and join our voices as we praise the One True Fuck."
