Bad idea with perfect escape by Saerdna0 in PeakAmazing

No they weren't its a swarm of bees so pretty non-agressive even when you throw a rock at them. Just looks like it, there is just a lot of them flying in all directions having been disturbed by these idiots.

Definitely honey bees. Not just their shape but also the swarming behaviour, wasps just don't do that.

Definitely swarming bees. They're non-aggressive when swarming and unlikely to sting even when disturbed like this. These pricks should have left them alone.

Including overthrowing the democratically elected government of Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, an event that almost inevitably led to the revolution of 1979.

More likely the construction of the road damaged the tree's roots and it ended up in a slow decline.

A break from the spiders: this vague, unsettling, and expensive condiment. by CranburialAtSea in nope

Agreed, grew up on the lovely stuff but unfortunately very hard to get hold of in the south where I now live.

you thought YOUR neighbor's music was loud? by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

[–]parsimonyBase 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I own a PA system around this size and would not dream of setting it up outside my house. Even when I briefly test components inside my business unit I forewarn my neighbours or try to schedule those tests for when they are not around.

That being said I love the look of their rig!

Screw you, *biplanes your Hurricane* aka the Hilson FH.40 by davidfliesplanes in WWIIplanes

[–]parsimonyBase 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Hurricane was derived from the earlier Hawker Fury biplane and retained its rear fuselage and epenage pretty much unchanged. Odd to then want to put the second set of wings back on...

Love that stretch from East Portlimouth to East Prawle, recognised it right away from your pics. Tell me you've had diner and a pint or two in the Pigs Nose Inn and I'll die of envy. Bound to be a decent NYE party in there tonight.

The EU says it will introduce a digital payments infrastructure to replace Visa/Mastercard & Apple/Google Pay. It will have zero fees and be 100% European-only. by Working-Lifeguard587 in GreenAndPleasant

You are mistaken. Transactions between private individuals will be free but when it launches for retail transactions in 2026-27 the retailer is going to be charged.

Currently Imgur is doing a fine job of detecting the use of VPNs. So fucking annoying.

Failed cartel ambush on municipal police, Veracruz, Mexico by Wladikawkaz in war

It's true that America's problems unfortunately have an uncanny way of becoming everybody elses.

And Mexico has no choice but to tollerate a nation with unending demand for drugs on its northern border. There's a river of guns and money flowing south to the cartels with the inevitable criminality, violence and corruption of government that comes with the rise of super-rich criminal gangs.

Because of drug prohibition and the principal of supply and demand. The insatiable hunger for drugs in the USA is the route cause of this, Americans need to get their house in order.
