  • This is similar to what happens with Asian giant hornets (those murder hornets that made it to the US a couple years ago)-- when a scout finds a honeybee hive it brings back a troop that goes in and just murders everything in sight, and with European bees there’s nothing they can do. Meanwhile the Asian bees know to lure the scout into the hive and then surround it with a bunch of bees, creating a bee ball. Then they vibrate and heat themselves up, and since the bees can withstand temps a few degrees higher than the hornet, they manage to overheat it to death.

  • You know how lemmy or xyz social media is people posting their thoughts directly so you kinda get a look into their brains? And maybe there’s a pic or vid or some other link to accompany it to support the topic of their post. Imagine that but it’s entire websites basically built from the ground up with what one lone person believed was aesthetically appropriate to communicate their ideas or passions.

    And nothing was centralized so there might’ve been a hundred time cube variations but no one ever found them because they weren’t linked on anyone’s webrings. It was all beautiful terrible madness.
