Sometimes a bee will hit our big window overlooking the backyard and I have to wonder...did a bee just prank another bee?

Like, maybe Robbie the bumble bee was doing his waggle dance but instead of telling the other bees to turn left at the deck he tells them to turn right? And maybe after a couple of bees fly off Robbie says to all the other bees, "No no no guys. Don't go yet. Ya gotta see this!" and all the bees watch as eager beaver Toby, the first one to fly off, natch, smacks into our window?

Do bees snicker? I bet bees snicker.

Or maybe Robbie can't waggle dance. Robbie's got no rhythm. So Robbie meant to tell all the bees the proper place to go but when they all took off, Toby (that eager beaver, again) led the way and ran smack dab into our window. All the other bees would just shake their antennae and say, "Yup, that's Robbie for ya, can't waggle for shit," before they swooped down to make sure Toby was okay?

Star Trek

And just how many people would join Starfleet to get selfies that no one else could so they'd get more followers? "Here's me going warp 8." "Here's me in the Borg cube." "Here's me doing the 'get shot by a phaser set to stun' challenge." Would prank vids for Youtube get out of control? Would cadets decompress fellow cadets' space suits during space walks? "Sorry, Cadet Peters, I know your lungs partially ruptured, but it was just a prank, bro! You should've totally exhaled, dude!"

Or would it be just too darned hard to log in? Facebook: "We see you're logging in from an unusual star system, we have sent a code to your email, enter it here to continue." Only you ticked off the Comms Specialist by beating them in poker so they are being a little bitch about it and blocking your email from penetrating the shield that is currently up because the Enterprise came across a Romulan Bird-of-Prey in the Neutral Zone.

Invasive Species Billionaires

An invasive species billionaire is a societally introduced individual or family that harms its new environment everything, causing ecological, environmental, and/or economic damage. The term can also be used for native species politicians that become harmful to their native environment after including human alterations to its their food web. Since the 20th century, invasive species billionaires have become serious economic, social, and environmental threats worldwide.

Invasion of long-established ecosystems societal systems by organisms cunty assholes is a natural phenomenon, but human-facilitated introductions have greatly increased the rate, scale, and geographic range of invasion. For millennia, humans have served as both accidental and deliberate dispersal agents, beginning with their earliest migrations, accelerating in the Age of Discovery, and accelerating again with the spread of international trade. Notable invasive plant species billionaires include the kudzu vine, giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum), Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica), and yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis). Notable invasive animals include European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), domestic cats (Felis catus), and carp (family Cyprinidae) Mansa Musa (Mali Folli), Elon Musk (Doofus Extravagansis), Larry Ellison (Collectus Crapus), Jeff Bezos (Bozo Uninterruptus), Bill Gates (Bluescreenus Hominis), Charlie Koch (Goodgriefus Penus), Mark Zuckerberg (Dumbus Fuckus), Richard Sackler (Drugus Allofus), Waltons (family Avariceae), and Gina Rinehart (MineMineMineMineMineMineMineis).
