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.

Wasps are orcs. Bees are elves.

Ants evolved from stinging wasps, so if wasps are orcs, ants would be something that evolved from orcs. Uruk-Hai aren't really an evolution of orc, but they are an advanced breed, so maybe they can suffice?

Termites probably fit Pech better than dwarfs

[-] Ma10gan@slrpnk.net 28 points 10 months ago

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

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

It's not my fault they're dicks. 😤

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 10 points 10 months ago

Most wasps are actually not aggressive at all. We just don’t notice those ones.

[-] Rubanski@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

They are quite aggressive when there are no more flowers/nectar in the end of summer. They don't store "food" like bees do, they just have nothing so they want your bologna

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

That's not really the case. The adult wasps are vegetarian, they may drink your soda, but your bologna does nothing for them. They want your bologna for their carnivorous larvae - it's for the children.

[-] Rubanski@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Interesting, I would like to subscribe to more wasp facts please

[-] Hathaway@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

Many of them get drunk off fermenting fruit then go around and sting shit in a drunken stupor.

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.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Thank you for pointing this out. I was planning to do the same. Wasps are important for the ecosystem in many ways.

[-] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I've never been stung by a wasp. I have been stung by multiple bees.

[-] Syd@lemm.ee 22 points 10 months ago

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

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] FleetingTit@feddit.org 15 points 10 months ago

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

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

This is actually my only problem with CERTAIN wasp species. Not all, mind you.

[-] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

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

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

In the alley, the dragon in hand, he approached the blackened nest. It had broken open. Singed wasps wrenched and flipped on the asphalt.

He saw the thing the shell of gray paper had concealed. Horror. The spiral birth factory, stepped terraces of the hatching cells, blind jaws of the unborn moving ceaselessly, the staged progress from egg to larva, near-wasp, wasp. In his mind's eye, a kind of time-lapse photography took place, revealing the thing as the biological equivalent of a machine gun, hideous in its perfection. Alien. He pulled the trigger, forgetting to press the ignition, and fuel hissed over the bulging, writhing life at his feet.

When he did hit the ignition, it exploded with a thump taking an eyebrow with it.

Just read this for the first time a few weeks ago, so good.

[-] thericofactor@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago

I wish I could build a menacing lair using only spit and wood pulp.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 12 points 10 months ago

Have you tried?

[-] poVoq@slrpnk.net 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Drywall is pretty much the same, so yes, you can, and the typical US McMasion is pretty menacing in its environmental impact (and looks shit as well).

Ain't humans cute by projecting their morality on everything they lay their eyes on?

[-] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

Nah, wasps are wretched

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

you better bee leave it

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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.

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I've seen a few wasps completely destroy some backyard hives. It wasn't pretty.

Someone is going to make a movie about this...
