France hasn't seen this much Monarchist violence since the 18th century

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 7 points 11 months ago

Hahahaha, damn, that's brutal.

France was also a monarchy 1814-48, 1852-70

What’s this?! A lovely French town woefully underpopulated by bees? A large influx of BEES aught to put a stop to that!

[–] johncritzman@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Thanks Dr. Bees!

Would this trigger NATO's article 5?

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is Australia in NATO, because if so, don't send them here

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don't send the bees to Australia or the Australians to France? Although both are equally terrifying. Australia isn't in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation anyway

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Don't send NATO there. NATO would be wiped out by the wildlife there. Then, nothing would stop the Aussie wildlife from taking over the world.

We all deserve it. I'm cheering for nature, honestly.

Does this have anything to do with the air traffic controllers strike?

« According to the mayor, the incident may have been related to Asian hornets threatening a beehive that had been installed on the roof terrace of a downtown hotel more than a decade ago. He said that this had likely caused the bees to become aggressive. »

Seems as plausible as some dumb kids throwing rocks at a hive or a smelly wind, I guess 🤷‍♀️

Fucking Schengen

They know what they've done.
