They can sting, but they (anecdotally) sting less readily than some other species of wasps. I’ve been around them all my life and never have been stung. But, I’ve never intentionally messed with them. On the other hand, I’ve been stung by a couple other species that were far less patient with my presence in their general area.

If I am understanding the chart here correctly, bees are not a type of wasp. Bees, wasps, ants, and sawflies are all Hymenopterans, but distinct from each other.

Yes, and also “can you do me a favor?” "I’d like to do you a favor, but I’m going to need to know what it is before I’ll know if I can do you this favor.

How is parasitism any worse than straight up eating something else? Also, house cats kill for fun. Should they go extinct?

Wasn’t the issue with Indominus rex that the dinosaur tricked them into thinking it was gone and they left the door open, like idiots? Definitely some things in those movies are engineering issues, but it mostly was a problem because there were multiple points of failure in the system. This is the point I make about my work. My department catches behavior problems from reports, discussions, interviews, and providing technical assistance. We do tons of work regularly and there are overlapping ways to catch the same problem. When my department is given more work and no new staff, they can’t stay on top of everything. They still catch things because the work they are able to do usual catches one of the multiple opportunities. With enough workload added on eventually you end up missing something. When the stakes are life and death, you have multiple layers of protection programmed into the system.

And your cats would eat you if they could. I’ve had cats gnaw on my fingers and toes, like they were seeing if that would work. Cats are actually worse than dinosaurs, and modern birds, and reptiles, because they usually stop killing when they’re full.

Phones can also video call, lead you to just about anywhere you want to go on the planet, and store millions of pictures/videos/writings of a person’s personal history. Unprecedented.

Sure, but if we had to pick one, I’d say microwave. Deepfry is enjoyed by all, but mostly a southern thing.

The wolves were supposed to be the bouncers at the hip new club “Yellow Stone” and they were shirking their duties and started working at a different club called “The Underworld.” Because they weren’t there to stop those horny bastards, they fucked all those trees. It’s called wood for a reason, amirite? /s
