All I want is a bumble bee big enough to hug. Is that really to much to ask for, science? Is it?
ETA: Jeeping fuck - 7000 notes? Will this crappy sketch really be my internet legacy? I get a lot of comments about how this is impossible. Well, duh - that’s why I want science to get creative and solve the problems.
I hear the “blah blah exoskeleton blah blah giant insects would need more a oxygen-rich environment” thing a lot. But if science was to engineer a giant bee why not re-engineer it’s circulatory system? Rather than having the fluids just sloshing around in there insect-style why not build it around a small dog chassis? Or make a bionic bee and give it a mechanical heart, lungs and circulatory system? Just think outside the hive here, people!
And of course the wings are residual aesthetic feature - much like a chicken or a dog in a bee costume. I don’t want a dog-sized bee crapping on me from above - no one wants that.
And as for the stinger…Well this is a bumble bee, not a honey bee. Bumble bees can sting and sting again without dying - but guess what, they generally don’t (and they wave their legs at you before they do). I’ve been handling them for as long as I can remember and I’ve never been stung. I’m not saying go grab the next bee you see (bee careful), just that I wouldn’t be too worried about a giant bee I could see coming accidentally stinging me. Also, I’d like the bee scaled up but not it’s bristles - I want a fluffy bee not an echidna.
“Deadpool is as straight as a pole in a strip club.”
Yeah, okay, buddy. Have you ever actually picked up a Deadpool comic?
Not to sound homophobic but I’m pretty sure Deadpool is “ironically gay”. Like most of the time he’s doing it to get a rise out of people and the other times where he’s probably serious is usually for comedy purposes. I’m not saying he’s not into dudes I mean just look at that outfit. I’m just saying most of those examples he’s clearly joking. I’d say he’s Bi. Because he has 2 swords, two guns, and …okay bad joke
