Poor bee didn't deserve that...
Bummer. I was hoping to ask whether there was a honey flavor or more of a floral sugar flavor. Apparently it's a quick death.
Death by inhaling bee is the funniest death note entry yet.
You would think, with all his money and outdoor polo playing, that he would KNOW that he has a severe bee allergy and carry an epi-pen.

With the focus of wealth inequality, I thought I'd just share this morbid reminder from the middle ages that there is no inequality in death. It will find everyone. No amount of money will let anyone escape it. Just something to consider when you are thinking about what to pursue in life. To that extent, I do feel somewhat sorry when I hear that a billionaire has died, because I know that they likely spent most of their life pursuing things that are ultimately worthless, and it makes me re-evaluate just what I am doing with mine.

I think I would prefer the submarine to this.
Based on the simulations I've seen, yeah. I'm sure there were plenty of panic in the sub and during the anaphylaxis, but I believe once the sub failed, there was less than a second between in first physical sensation to the complete disorganization of the nervous system, rendering the sub death quite painless. With anaphlaxis, even a sudden, sever attack, there will be several minutes of (at least) muscle strain as your diaphragm desperately tries to pull in more oxygen, and also general pain as your tissues squeeze against one another as they expand and nerve cells die.
I can and have accepted death; I'm too old to believe radical life extension will save me. But, many deaths are incredibly painful. If I have a choice on how to go out, inert gas asphyxiation seems best, but some sort of rapid disorganization isn't too bad. Anaphylactic shock seems worse.

Is the bee ok?
Not all heroes wear capes.
Some have wings & stingers.

No clue who the dude was, I just hate on billionaires in general.

Finally, some good news.
She fights for her people, not ours, but I salute her
A friend remarked he was generous. That's why he had all those billions.
We should circulate a copypasta that's like "nature's fighting back!" what with the orcas and the bees and the submarines so that the billionaires will fear going out even more

Am I a bad person for laughing after reading this headline?
Yes. You should be mourning the bee.
