For fucks sake just use all the time and resources for mega yachts and put it into to fixing the bee issue
- No no, let's just see how this flower handjob machine plays out first.
- fixing the issue like bee robots? how do ychats enter the equation?
  
  Instead of humans (a handful) spending a trillion dollars on something obscenely luxurious and unnecessary, use that trillion dollars for something necessary - research and figure out how to save the bees
Stickbugged again!

Humanity is God’s wet fart.
The frickin' bees as a species aren't dying out. Wild bees are because they get pushed aside by cultivated ones, for fuck's sake. Stop trying to solve problems that aren't there and start solving the real ones.
- arent wild bees dying a problem? cultivation is not the only reason bees dying is an issue.
  
  no, a bunch of "bee activists" concerned the bees are dying run massive "save the bees" campaigns, that just end is more honey bees, ironically most people hate wild bees because they look like wasps, this is literally one of those issues where public attention has backfired

  This is the weirdest take I've ever seen on colony collapse disorder. I get that its cause is an unsolved problem so people are apt to wildly speculate about the answer, but "caused by other bees" is a new one on me.
  
  What? Like... what? I'm not in the slightest talking about that. Not ever. I'm talking about population numbers. While several wild bees are in danger of extinction, the honey bee is everything but. Yet still people get honey bees to "save the bees" which is not what this is about. The honey bees are taking the wild bees' place in many ecological systems, pushing the wild ones out.
  
  Here is one source, my sources are mostly in German, but this one sums it up in English:

- it really is ironic that you be getting downvotes for speaking the truth, so many people don't even know the actual issue
