TIL that my vagina evolved before bees…
TIL I am a fly
They made a movie about you (and me) then!
Okay, let’s see… tallest… building… with roof access… near me…
Okay guys I’ll be right back.
Rotting flesh? … You should probably go to a doctor
Twist: she is a corpse
She still wrote a comment, therefore zombussy.
So I went and had a quick look and you are not wrong. Let’s say that vulvas appeared with mammals. Mammals (well, the modern-ish kind of mammals) evolved about 250 millions of years ago https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_mammals
Bees “only” 120m years ago https://news.wsu.edu/press-release/2023/07/31/bees-likely-evolved-from-ancient-supercontinent-earlier-than-suspected/
TIL that @eestileib@sh.itjust.works is over 120 million years old
That’s… that’s not how it’s supposed to be.
Girl get you some metrogel…
So after we kill off all the bees then… not all of the flowers will die, is one conclusion we can take from this? :-|
Just the ones that we need for food, no biggie /s
According to some time travelers (allusion to HG Wells The Time Machine), we’ll simply start eating humans.
Well, the problem then is that we’re not only killing off all the bees but also other pollinators. Although, many plant species are also wind-pollinated and/or wind-dispersed. But good luck feeding all human life with this small selection of species only…
We will have to make meat based plant alternatives.
Meat is so energy inefficient that it would never be enough to feed everyone. And the scale of meat production would have to be so huge that we help on climate change quite a bit as well…
Yup, just the ones that don’t produce fruit and mell like rotting flesh…
So, there’s that then, to look forward to… :-|
Asimina triloba, aka Pawpaws. The hill-billy banana!

If it’s easier to attract flies with honey than it is with vinegar, how come flies don’t be trying to go after beehives? 🤔
Maybe its the dung and corpse flies they are after
