Such a missed opportunity to do an upside down bee, with the stinger as the cone-shaped twisty top nozzle.

Okay. Now think about landlords.
I don't know how it is elsewhere, but here, if you get honey in a bear shaped container,it'll be the absolutely shittiest honey available on the market.
Never seen one outside of American media, and it was always obvious it's the worst quality. I'm pretty sure it's not even majority honey, it feels very American to have it be like 80% high-fructose corn syrup, additives, "honey aroma" and the rest shitty honey only because it's needed by law to call it honey.
That is not my lived experience; the random grocery store brand inexpensive honey I bought is 100% honey. I remember seeing a bottle of "honey blend" posted to Lemmy awhile back that was cut with corn syrup with a lot of Americans surprised at its existence.
I've seen them in France. Here it's not allowed to mix honey with something else. But you're allowed to buy the cheapest honey you can find from wherever, and mix it. The result can be surprising.
This is the nature of humans
Yeah you're not free to run around any more, I'm gonna sit on you and you're gonna take me where I want to go.
Hey I'm gonna put you into a little enclosure so we can all come by and look at you. No, you can't have a friend in there.
Oh I'm gonna breed you with really short unusable legs and breathing problems because it's fun for me.
Also if you ever bite me or anything like that, or even exist in my neighborhood at all if you're realistically capable of doing any damage to us, then we're gonna have some fuckin problems, I guarantee you.
Isn’t this the plot of the bee movie
That movie makes me angry, he has no standing in the case. His hive was never harvested. I assume the hives that were harvested appeared to be man made. They never explain those bees perspective. As far as we know they had a deal and now Jerry Seinfeld has now gotten them evicted.
Barry has standing in that destruction of natural habitats in the area surrounding his hive has impacted his colony's ability to thrive. His colony is a victim of colonialism. If he can prove that his colony is descended from an earlier colony which cultivated plant life in the New York area that was deforested by humans, then he may be able to argue that his colony is owed a certain amount of land. Charging rent from the human businesses on that land so he can buy honey, Barry would be able to supply his colony with enough honey to get us to the end of the movie's plot.
It's a little more complicated than what we actually saw, but the logic is sound.
He's a very very bad man.
Yeah he has no standing but like, he's also just fucking wrong. The third act of the movie details that the world undergoes an ecological disaster thanks to Barry getting the bees to stop working. As an ending, it has its own problems, but for as much as you can say about the Bee Movie, Barry isn't a hero or even really heroic until the very end. He's just an asshole who's out for himself. Absolutely he fucked over those corporate bees, and he doesn't care, he just didn't want to work.
It sure is. I just watched it last night
Like the company taking all the profits from our hard work and putting into the bank that charges us over draft fees
If you think that's bad imagine what dinosaurs think about dino nuggies
Shouldn't that be what chickens think about dino nuggies, since you're taking the product of one thing (chicken) and putting it in the form of another (dinos)?
But chickens are dinosaurs, this is all completely ethical.
Make them in the image of their ancestors
I feel like this about Sinclair gas. It's just rubbing it in at that point.
You mean the pressed & battered pink meat slime made from the nonchalantly frappéed newborn males of their distant descendents? They'd probably give it a stamp of approval. Dinos were fucking stupid. I have no idea what our current excuse is, though.
What do they do with all the feathers? I'm pretty confident those videos you remember seeing aren't going to food for humans. They're going to food for chickens, livestock, or other uses. We aren't eating half fluff and bone lol.
And if you are, buy better nuggies.
Dinos were fucking stupid.
Some birds are super smart. Odds are some other dinos were as well.
By comparison, and by sheer mass ratio: the fact stands. Personally, I imagine the next "dominant" intelligence to come from cephalopodae or corvidae.
I might be talking out of my ass here, defintiely not an expert, but I would imagine that the odds of a large dino skeleton surviving until today are much higher than that of a small one, so the perception that dinosaurs were typically big might be just result of survivorship bias. I always found it interesting that the largest known animal ever is the blue whale. A mammal, not a dinosaur.
Anyway, my money's on cephalopodae. I always thought their habitat would mean hyper-evolved octopus would make for a great astronaut. The big hurdle is that they don't raise their young or socialise at all, so they're sorely lacking in culture, but I heard there was a species of octopus in a particular area that has become significantly more social "thanks" to humans killing off their predators, thus making their lives significantly more leisurely.
Then again, dinosaurs recaliming their place would be pretty cool too, and I always liked jackdaws and other crows.
