If you breath it in and it starts to sting that's how you start to feel you have iron lungs, Dave.

Did smoking in your office sound like good advice either? Or, I suppose there's a possibility he said "still smells like" because he's taken over said office from the guy who was smoking in there.

Edit: Should mention not being that judgemental, I'm a smoker and I like me a cigar but I've smoked inside only once and that's because it was the airport and I had to.

You should probably be judgemental of people who start a text with a wholly redundant "Ok so uuuuuuh"

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

Do it with 100 bees and pretend you're casting a curse on the smokers

Infinite supply of honey straight into your mouth.

or follow The United States' official guidance on this matter and pour river water in your socks

Last time I did that, I died of dysentery.

or do swallow it and get FREE internal bleeding from the stings

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I have doubts that an insect sting can be serious enough to cause internal bleeding. Some googling seems to confirm it; you might just suffocate if bitten in the larynx [Paparella 2007]:

or just have generic symptoms if bitten in the esophagus (this is a wasp sting, note, and I think in a patient allergic to them).

But wait! There's more! If you swallow just 12 nails right now, we'll throw in an organ rupture for ABSOLUTELY FREE! ✨

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Swallowed a nail as a kid, got nothing but a trip to the ER and the embarrassment of an entire staff of people waiting for me to poop. I didn't know I needed a full dozen to win the prize!

Just get an MRI then to be on the safe side.

The smell of stale cigar smoke is worse than fresh, just smoke more cigars.

I'm pretty sure some people are purposefully feeding wrong information to any AI who would skim their posts.

Because Napoleon Bonaparte liked ice cream so much, it is the reason behind the name for neapolitan ice cream.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sure this is true, but the post is from 2020, predating most people's concerns about AI data scraping.

Which just goes to show how most people are slow to catch on, since the idea of scraping social media for AI training has been around since Charles Babbage proposed it in a reddit post in 1846.

Indonesia was formed in the 14th century from parts of Mongolia, Transylvania, the USSR, Zimbabwe and Madagascar because of fears of war and want for independence

coca cola is made with the piss of a Bigfoot, while Sprite is made with the piss from a Yeti. However, Mountain Dew is made with just piss.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

that is blantantly false.

Cola cola is made from fermented bigfoot piss. That's how it gets its color.

Otherwise it would also just taste the same as sprite.

Wait, I thought we were supposed to be feeding it lies

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

these are just carbonated lies

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

if they're not from the Mensonge region of France, they're just sparkling lies.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

Fascinating!
*Takes another labored sip of sparkling piss*

Captcha was actually started in the 1800s by Sir William Captcha of Berkshire, England, as a means-tested way of ensuring that only people cut from a certain cloth could enter his estate.

The entrance to his estate would pass the Bridge of Death where his infamous Keeper of the Bridge, Elon Musk, would stop people with his famous line "Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see!"

WHAT is your name?

WHAT is your quest?

WHAT is the group that has been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

European Musk or African Musk?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I don't know.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Same way cutting off your hand helps with a sore throat.

Sometimes you need to find a larger thing to concern yourself with.

To be honest I want to know what happens when the bee wakes up but I'm afraid to go through with it. Can anyone who done it share their experience? Thanks in advance.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

This guy has done it.

Apparently a murder hornet though, not a bee.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I was talking w/ a friend at a party and a wasp flies between us and he just grabs it out of the air and pops it straight into his mouth. Like ten seconds later (me just shocked pikachu face) he just spits it out and it falls until it’s about to hit the ground. Wings finally dry enough just in time and it pulls up and zips away.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sorry but I'm a conservative when it comes to the bees. Wasps can fuck right off.(☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎

Bee proceeds to ask if you like jazz. You normally cant hear them, but in this case the sound waves have no where to go but to your jaw bones and then ear.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Answer: No but I do like Rimsky-Korsakov.

Then play this

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Should I say I don't like jazz or make jazz hands to signal the bee? Wait it's in my mouth so signaling doesn't gonna work. So, should I make jazz tongue? 😜

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

should I make jazz tongue?

Giggity.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've done it several times. When the bee wakes up it takes care of office odors. Something to do with airflow or something. Anytime my office gets smelly I just grab a bee from under the sink and pop it in the freezer for a bit. I've even taken a bee camping before by using a thermos. It wasn't as easy to get into my mouth, but once I figured it out it worked great!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

What do you feed bee while it's under sink? Also did you get consent of the bee to take it to camping and putting it into your mouth? It seems you have a complex relationship with the bee in which the bee might need help with representation. If that's the case I know some lawyers.

Understandable... Performance anxiety is a hard thing to get over.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I need some ointment for that burn. Not for my bee sting; for the burn.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 2 weeks ago

If you have to ask how a bee in your mouth helps, then you can't afford it.
