Ok, being a fly, try breaking into a beehive and laying your eggs in their honey, see how well it goes for you. Or just be thankful that you answer to no queen and all the world's shit is yours for the taking.

"Read that again"

A sentence that never follows something of value

[–] [email protected] 49 points 6 days ago

I love that the "read that again" is part of the quote of an unknown source quoting a nameless "wise man".

A SENTENCE!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

I think the quoted person called "unknown" is a good indicator as well.

instructions unclear, i've been reading this in a loop for the past 7 hours

[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 days ago

That's how you end up with massive AWS bills.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago

Oh, but did you try reading it again louder?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

Seriously, though, what are we supposed to be looking for in the second readthrough? I can't find any sort of typo or hidden message.

I think grown bees don't eat honey

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

In my experience they do.
I've given some cooled out bees some honey and warm water, and they always go for it and usually recover and fly away

"For the people in the back"? The back of where? What is this man talking about? I'm not on stage. I'm in my living room, waiting for the kettle to boil. Are there people in my house? Who are "the people in the back"? I'm reading this sentence out loud but it still sounds fucking stupid. Help me, bald man with beard!

I mean from the flies' perspective the opposite is probably true, so wygd

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

There is a saying that "honey attracts more flies than vinegar" but this has me wondering if honey would attract more flies than a pile of shit. 🤔

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

this is recursive, people will never stop reading this forever until they die of starvation.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't get why this is in this community. It's a good message. 2 groups with very different interests, they are never going to convince eachother that their own thing is better.

Person A loves skydiving. Person B loves reading. They're never going to convince eachother that the other hobby is better.

Everyone taking away that flies are stupid people are just falling in the same pitfall of fighting battles with no victory condition

I read it like a anti social guideline: don't share your good info with others less deserving or so. But that might be wrong.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Smart people don't bother explaining to dumb people how dumb they are.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

And yet the post and the message both try to get you to explain it by reading it again or louder.

"Hey, boss, why do we have to lick shit? Isn't there a lot of honey?" - "That is just s myth, now eat your shit."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

You know... I actually agree with this one. This is why I don't go around telling people Linux is better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Thanks for a sane comment to build on.

I actually think it is a fault of the American educated class that they assume that the uneducated people understand what they missed.

We all think everyone gets it or will get it with some Cliffs Notes.

That just isn’t true.

Honey is bee vomit so...there's that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's not technically vomit because they have a special chamber separate from their stomach for it.

If honey is bee vomit, then babies are human piss

Good advice, why concern yourself with the opinions of LESSER MORTALS?

Thank you 🫡

now the question is whether the edit will federate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Are there known issues with that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I've seen it first hand
