Jeez, come on you guys, show some respect.
A bee just died.
-
Karisma accused Sunjay of domestic abuse in her divorce plea, stating that during their honeymoon, Sunjay forced her to sleep with his friends.
Good bee.

bruh the amount of sht they want you to accept to read is wild, the reddit post is controversial, prob did happen unlike they're saying and back then they wouldve assumed the public would side with the man

Her sister kareena kapoor naming her kids off mass genociders of the past is kinda wild lol, one is known in the sikh religion for torturing a guru https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/aug/14/bollywoods-kareena-kapoor-subject-to-online-abuse-over-babys-name

RIP bee. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
-
Ah this is terrible.
The bee population is already struggling, and there's no way this one survived after getting stuck in dude's throat.
-
Actually bees always die after stinging anything.
Edit: I get it people, I'm totally wrong about this - 3 people have already told me.
-
I thought some bees didn't have the barb? Certainly honey bees do, but there are many types.
-
That's somewhat incorrect. Their stingers have barbs that get stuck in skin and the like and pull out their organs when they try to extract, but that was because it evolved to pierce carapace, not skin. They can sting other insects without dying.
Also, as someone else pointed out, some bees, like bumblebees and carpenter bees,have smooth stingers that do not get stuck in skin.
-
thats not true. they die when they lose their stinger, which does not happen with every sting. stingers easily get stuck in human skin though which causes them to lose their stinger so easily.

Is it possible to train bees? Asking for a friend who is very interested in bee training.
-
I’ve heard that the smell of a banana makes bees go crazy and they go into attack mode. You didn't hear that me…🐝
-
Bee the change you want to see.
-
Too soon, honey. A has-been has been murdered here. Shut your mouth or buzz off 🐝

I wanna bee a billionaire, so fucking bad

Mad props to Comrade Bee, she gave her life for the people. She will live on in our memories, deepest sympathy and condolences to her hive for their loss.
-
Long live the Queen
-
-
Oh. Anyway.
-
-
Poor bee didn't deserve that...
-
Death by inhaling bee is the funniest death note entry yet.
-
Pouring one out for comrade bee's noble sacrifice 😞
-
Luigi the Bee.
-
I feel bad for the bee.
But holy shit! If this doesn't make you want to save the bees than nothing will.
I dub this bee the Buzz Bomber!
-
I notice your Sonic reference
-
I was unaware that it is a sonic reference. I was actually referring to the German V-1 rocket that was nicknamed the Buzz Bomb by the allies.
Edit: https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Buzz_Bomber
Shit! Wow, mother of all coincidences!

Oh NO! PLEASE keep the Comments CIVILIZED! This man CHANGED Lives (by STEALING people's Money and Health!) and should be HONORED!
-
Always remember this day. The day when one, small bee gave his life for the cause.
-
With the focus of wealth inequality, I thought I'd just share this morbid reminder from the middle ages that there is no inequality in death. It will find everyone. No amount of money will let anyone escape it. Just something to consider when you are thinking about what to pursue in life. To that extent, I do feel somewhat sorry when I hear that a billionaire has died, because I know that they likely spent most of their life pursuing things that are ultimately worthless, and it makes me re-evaluate just what I am doing with mine.
-

But billionaires def work less than a lot of people without monies.
There are billions that work 10+ hours per day just to survive (working for and making billionaires richer).
\ A life with much less experiences than any billionaire, less vacations, less family time, etc.-
They certainly don't have to work as much, or at all really. I recognize that there is an enormous gap between someone struggling to put food on the table and a billionaire, but it is also very easy to focus on work and increasing financial stability/independence at the detriment of more important things. It reminds of the song Cat's In The Cradle: https://youtu.be/5u-KWa3tL-0?list=RD5u-KWa3tL-0 (especially appropriate on Father's day weekend). My dad worked long hours when I was growing up, and I slept in a hallway/laundry room because he couldn't afford to rent a larger place, but he still made time for me and my siblings, and I wouldn't trade my childhood for literally all the money in the world.
Does that mean that people who are struggling to feed their family don't really need the money? No. Would it have been easier if my family had more money? Sure. But I have also noticed that peoples' lifestyles seem to grow to match their incomes, and it never seems like it is quite enough. There is always that next job or promotion or opportunity that will put you in a slightly better position and then finally it will be enough. Once basic needs met (air, water, food, shelter), I believe that money can start creating more problems for people than it solves. With tons of money comes tons of distractions, and temptations; there aren't any poor people on the Epstein list. Its easy for me to say they are horrible people and I would never engage in activities like that, but it also isn't an option for me. I can't honestly claim virtue for avoiding an evil that my situation in life doesn't allow for. Life seems much easier when nobody stops you from getting what you want, but I have to wonder if sometimes it is a blessing in disguise when they do...

Great news.
The only good billionaire, is a dead billionaire.

-
She fights for her people, not ours, but I salute her
-
Like most folks here, my only concern is for the bee.
-
That bee gave up a life of pollenating plants that would green the earth and provide food for us undeserving humans.
That bee is a true heroine! I dub her the Buzz Bomber!
-
👍
-
-
-
We should circulate a copypasta that's like "nature's fighting back!" what with the orcas and the bees and the submarines so that the billionaires will fear going out even more
-
... becoming even more detached from reality? There really is no good solution, is there? Well, apart from the one.
-
submarines
Physics says no
-
Think I missed something - what's the thing with orcas and billionaires?
-
Orcas began attacking [all] yachts as if they were sentient because their friends got struck by propellers.
Scientists said that orcas are not conscious enough to connect the two things, and that it's just an example of "pod play".
Obviously, anyone with half a brain can tell you animals can feel things and hold a grudge, but it's not scientifically rigorous
-
-
-
Poor bee 😔
-
Is the bee ok?
-
Nature is healing.
-
Finally, some good news.
-
Oh no! Anyway...
-
I think I would prefer the submarine to this.
-
Based on the simulations I've seen, yeah. I'm sure there were plenty of panic in the sub and during the anaphylaxis, but I believe once the sub failed, there was less than a second between in first physical sensation to the complete disorganization of the nervous system, rendering the sub death quite painless. With anaphlaxis, even a sudden, sever attack, there will be several minutes of (at least) muscle strain as your diaphragm desperately tries to pull in more oxygen, and also general pain as your tissues squeeze against one another as they expand and nerve cells die.
I can and have accepted death; I'm too old to believe radical life extension will save me. But, many deaths are incredibly painful. If I have a choice on how to go out, inert gas asphyxiation seems best, but some sort of rapid disorganization isn't too bad. Anaphylactic shock seems worse.
-
I read it happened over one millisecond. Not enough for the nervous system to even register something was happening.
-
Nah. From hull breach to complete obliteration would be measured in fractions of a second. There's NO possibility there was some kind of "small leak" leading to anaphalaxis. The instant one large molecule could pass the seal... goodbye smash-aroonie.
-
-
For you or for the billionaire? I think the bee did it better
-
-
Bee bro is the avatar of karma.
-
Thank the Beekeeper. Protect the Hive.
-
-
What a way to go! All that money can't save you from nature.
-
Ooooooooh what a lucky man ... he-ee was was was was
-
-
oh no. Where will we find another rich douche to replace him?
-
Don't worry, I'm sure his assets will be distributed among the poor and starving people in the world.
Right?
-
We're gonna need a bigger bee to address that one
-
-
-
Is the bee ok?
-
You would think, with all his money and outdoor polo playing, that he would KNOW that he has a severe bee allergy and carry an epi-pen.
-
He is a billionaire. He thinks he is special in every way! Epi-pen? That is for peasants!
-
Idk, I've never been stung by a bee. I might be deathly allergic, but I have no idea.
-
Get an appointment with an allergologue, they will sting you with a bunch of differents compounds to see which ones make you react. Then you'll know for sure whether or not you can afford to be a beellionaire
Google tells me the word is in fact allergist
-
I've been stung randomly twice, and once in a library right on my neck when someone swatted it away and it got stuck in my hair. Best to find it sooner than later.
-
How have you never been stung by a bee? I’m genuinely asking.
I’ve been stung like a dozen times.
-
-
i thought you had to inject as close to the sting as possible and y'know
-
-
The world's poor..."Release the Bees!".
-
Hahahaha. Good.
-
Can we get an F in the chat for the bee heroine?
-
The question I ask myself is: You have that much money,you have a private jet on standby, a large security detail.
And none fucking thought about getting competent medical team or at least a fucking competent paramedic? I mean....I am generally unsympathetic amongst almost all billionaires, but as someone who has literally done VIP escorts as a critical care paramedic I wonder who fucked up that much.(But these were all "old wealth" and actually were not billionaires. And tbh they treated us with more respect than most members of the public do-that gives them at least some plus point)
It's not like Airway obstruction nor anaphylaxis is untreatable/isn't absolutely manageable if caught early.
Anyway, can we please get a fundraiser for the poor queen of that bee?

Any med school student should know how to macguyver an airway in an emergency. They literally teach it in civilian lifesaving classes these days. My guess is this guy was such an asshole, his entire medical staff was like "bruh I am not making the hole, you do it."
-
I don't know which med school or civilian lifesaving courses you attend - but emergency cricothyrotomy surely isn't a skill that is taught and mastered by any of these I teach.
Cric is a delicate skill that needs repetition and knowledge - it's far from easy and not even close to what is shown in some bad TV shows.
-
-
-
This is good news, Mark.
-
I almost put it in !positive_news@lemmy.ca lol
-
-
Am I a bad person for laughing after reading this headline?
-
Yes. You should be mourning the bee.
-
-
o7
This is why we need to save the bees.
-
Literally no idea who he is but I'll celebrate the death of a billionaire no matter who they are. Fuck that guy - glad he's dead.
-
I beg your pardon: you're glad that he's dead?
Wait til you discover what he did to his ex before the bee took him out - you might even be thrilled:
-
So he was India's PDiddy?
-
-
-
keeping all that money didn't bring more security in this regard
-
Frankly his lavish lifestyle of bee eating was, in retrospect, not a good idea.
-
-
I was stung once by a bee when I was a kid and my mother threw mud on it. While the mud dried, it drew out the stinger.
anyhow, mad props to bees. They are heroes more ways than one. I actually find this quite inspirational. No matter how small and insignificant you may feel you are, small acts can still have big consequences.
-
The more we have animals exhibiting human behaviors, on top of whales & bees straight up attacking billionaires, the easier it is to believe in a collective subconscious.
-
I was once on a farm, laughing at something, and a horsefly came up and bit me on the tongue.
I had no idea why it happened, still don't, but it was one of the worst things that had ever happened to me at that point in my life.
-
I got a cabin out in Shenandoah one time by Luray, and all the bugs out there are frickin massive.
I’m outside making bbq, having a mikes hard lemonade of some kind. Grab my bottle, take a swig, and suddenly I have what feels like a wet piece of carpet halfway in my mouth.
So I pull the bottle away from my face and lo and behold the most massive hornet I have ever seen in my life plops down and hits the ground. Like at least two and a half inches long. Little guy was drunk as all hell after taking a swim and thankfully didnt sting me when I had his ass in my mouth
-
Had a similar encounter with a wasp. Little bastard was blind drunk, I enjoyed seeing him trying to fly and failing out of sheer intoxication. Bumped into the umbrella stand a few times before it decided that walking was probably the better means of locomotion.
-
If it was a Murder Hornet, you should've called animal control. They want to eradicate the invasive species.
-
-
Of all the true stories of life experiences I've heard told to me over the years, that certainly is one of them.
-
-
A friend remarked he was generous. That's why he had all those billions.
-
So, apropro of nothing, is it possible to train bees?

I'm interested, are your spicy flies freshly africanized or is this a long term colony?

There is an entire book damning the wealthy/richbastards said to be "the word of God."
New Testament... nothing about abortions.. gay people... but lots about rich people. Particularly forgiving "prostitutes" (which I think included abandoned/divorced women).

There's also that part about usury that everyone just sorta ignores. Most Christians can't even define the word.

I saw this Black Mirror episode...
-
-
This does mean we still get to make our annual billionarie sacrifice to the Deep Ones right?
-
Dude, we had a sub down, a CEO shot (and Luigi didn't do it. I am praying for an acquittal), and now this! I mean the whales are still attacking yachts, and I am hoping for more karma to land on their asses due to their own hubris.
What would be funny is that if you have someone planning to go Luigi on a billionaires ass only for them, just moments before, die in a stupid and unrelated manner... then our would be assassin just walks away not having done anything and saying 'meh, saved me the trouble!'
-
Ooooh, we should do one for each of the elements!
The submarine was for the Water goddess, let's say the bee was for the Wind.
Next up, Earth and Fire.-
Let's do the periodic table of elements. Keep it modern and keep the process moving as 4 is not enough and we get go boil the rich in exotic metals.

Bummer. I was hoping to ask whether there was a honey flavor or more of a floral sugar flavor. Apparently it's a quick death.
-
The question is, are well do bees adjust in Florida? Like, around a golf course let's say?
-
how genetically engineered are those golf greens and will bees enter? I would think in FL, those bees would be supersized, esp. with all the tropical flora.

Sounds like assassination.

Pretty sure the CIA experimented with using bees to kill Fidel Castro.
They pretty much tried everything else....

Yes? Not The Onion means silly but real. The Onion is silly and fake. Do you not understand this basic distinction?

-
RIP Poor dude :( but this is like something that happens all the time, why is this news?
-
Reportedly the dude was also a dick, and horrible to his ex-wife, but the bee didn't know that before it killed him.
This really shouldn't be news.
-
You yooouuuuuu you silly gooseberry... I saw what you did there.

The news: "He will be greatly missed not only by his family and friends but the local community around his club as he employed so many people and made so many friends — he was fun, kind and generous. He didn’t distinguish between his grooms or high net worth friends — when he had a party, everyone was invited and everyone was equal." He leaves behind a daughter and two young sons.
This forum: Didn't read the article, don't know anything about him but good on the bee. Yay death!
-
Billionaires don't get to be billionaires by being nice or good.
Name one "good" billionaire, I'll wait.
They also support each other with the media outlets they own.
This guy made his new wife sleep with his friends right after their wedding. They let news outlets release this to press back in the day because it was a man's world and they didn't care about the optics like they do now.
There are no good billionaires, prove me wrong.
-
I suppose JK Rowling, regardless of her personal politics, made her actual money by writing the world's most popular children's book series. Likewise George Lucas I guess is probably a billionaire too. And Taylor Swift.
But these are examples of incredibly lucky creators of novel IPs. There's always been a handful of these people on the lower end of the upper end of economic power.
-
Broadly I would tend to agree but... there's plenty of billionaires who give away billions. Rather than wait, just google it. It doesn't mean they're nice people but their money does good. There's no getting around that.
I know that most wealthy people give money either as a performance for others or out of guilt but that's still money given to people who need it. Personally I don't care about their motives so long as their money actually helps.
As for somehow creating some kind of socialist utopia where billionaires don't exist, you would be ignoring our entire history as a species. Sooner or later "some animals are more equal than others". It sucks, particularly if you are the sort of person who has an abundance of empathy but there it is. Best we can do, I reckon, is look after the people in our immediate vicinity. If we all did that mind you then maybe things would get better but I'm not holding my breath.

-
There’s no such thing as a good billionaire. That’s like watching a man eating dragon sitting on a pile of gold and being like “yeah but he gave me a coin once”
To become a billionaire, you steal the wages, benefits, severance, etc. from all the employees that made you a rich with their labor. You become a billionaire by keeping 99% of the wealth from the work of others. Billionaires are literally hoarding wealth while millions starve. How is that a good man? If you’re a billionaire, you fucked everyone on your way up. You’re not good.
-
Absolutely, yay this particular death. Some deaths are righteous.
Fuck his friends and family.
