Wandering Adventure Party

@inthehands @zillion Also as a measure of how unlawful and messed up the modern detentions are, those 1930s death camps bothered to give the prisoners toilets.

@juergen_hubert What if all the headless riders are vampires, who need the horses so that they can see where they're going?

(sorry, being silly. I love the headless rider folktales and it just amused me to see this tale after several rider tales)

@ShaulaEvans how about these:

- domestic honeybees have specialized roles at the hive entrance, easiest to see with a slow motion camera. The entrance operates a bit like an airport. There's a bee who frisks incoming bees to confirm that they belong, a bee who sniffs incoming bees like one of those drug dogs to verify pheramone signature, an air traffic control bee who watches inbound and outbound bees, a security bee who leaps into action upon signal from the other bees to kick out intruders and imposters.

- bees have also been shown in studies to possibly be able to: do math, recognize faces, experience ptsd, and play

- the spongy moth was introduced to the US by a guy who was hoping to corner a new silk market, but he lost control of the caterpillars and they became an extremely invasive species there, oops

- not bugs obviously but they might still find this cool: spiders have been found to communicate with each other via drumming

@vkc This is honestly why I prefer fedi tech that lets me "bin" people on the receiving side, such as Friendica. Everyone i choose to goes into buckets that I can choose to view (or avoid) as I see fit, with labels that only make sense to me. Even if you get at my meta data, it's not easily clear why some fedi profiles are in the bucket "Orthopedic" and some are in "Birb Feeder" or "WhatPlantsCrave" and so on and so on. I've blocked you but you'll never know it, screaming into one of the voids.

@mekkaokereke <spoiler>what are some of the best ways of achieving durable change away from entrenched wrongs?</spoiler>

@juergen_hubert Nothics. They're like the Smeagol of greedily seeking magic.

@andrewstroehlein A decade ago when their business model was platforming and profiteering off bullies

@juergen_hubert @Darkcoffee You keep up the good work, I love your translations. People do not understand that translating is an art, and that translators make style choices in which words are used to convey meaning, especially for cultural slang, and so much more. A translator who just raw translates the Roman writer Martial can for example erase Martial's distinct style by failing to preserve his skill at holding the punchline until the final word.

Human translators provide superior quality in translation because unlike the Magic 8 Ball grift machines, Humans know what words mean, not just how statistically often they're used.
