    If you’ve never seen a tarantula hawk before and then one day you encounter this 3+ inch long purple wasp dragging an equally large spider across the ground, it will freak you out a little.

      I had one fly through my open window while I was going 80 on the highway.

      Didn’t know what it was at the time, but luckily it was stunned in the back of my car.

      Pulled over and looked up what it could be. Threw that fucker out as fast as I could before it could murder me.

    this list omits the most brutal form of bee: Vulture Bees that produce “meat honey”

      Aren’t those honey bees (or one of the other hive-dwelling bees) though? Bumble bees are the big round boys (and are even more bumbling than these ones!)

      Even though I’m allergic to bees, I cannot bring myself to hate them. Especially Bumble Bees. Those little flying chonkers are so cute!

      For me on thunder the first link isn’t loading (Unable to load image from files.catbox.moe) and also the raw link is not working in the newly added player, so its not a voyager only problem.

      The bees are hilarious tho :)

    Meme faces are really going downhill. Is this some attempt to be a play on “genetic health” or something? They used to portray emotions, not exaggeratedly malformed bone structure.

      I think it describes the person imo. Masons(profession), carpenters are useful jobs that help society, and honey is a food source so again a productive addition. Bumble is kinda cute but is dopey, so I’ll give them that. However the wasps are all “chad” in this person’s eyes as they are killers. Killers have a limited place, which is usually killing other killers. Still, a lot of the time killers add a whole ton of detriment as well. They really shouldn’t be idiolized.
