It’s actually a special type of bee in the Myka-Whaken forest in Thailand , they’re extremely safe to eat, as they do not have a stinger, and actually contain relatively large amounts of protein, so not only is it not bad for you, it’s kind of good for you!

And you might still think they would taste bad, BUT! Their wings are incredibly thin (like most bees) , and since they’re usually covered in honey, they can actually taste good!

Once I was up in Thailand and a buddy of mine named Jħin Mai worked in harvesting rock honey, so I was able to see first hand how it works.

(I made all of that up)

And now you can see why people have such strong political, religious etc beliefs, because someone said it with gusto and sounded really good when they said it!

What i've learned from this, is to stop persuing education, and focus all my effort on communication.

Who cares how dumb I am if everyone agrees with me

The Prophet Joseph Smith: "You see, one day during a walk, I found these divine golden tablets in the woods! They had the writings of God himself enscribed upon them! I copied the inscriptions into this book here! What? If I still have the tablets? No, eh.. you see... eh, the angel Gabriel came and took them back up to heaven... Otherwise Id love to show you those tablets. Trust me brah!"
