It took me over an hour and nine pages, but this thread is my book recommendation masterlist. Forty-six books to cover... none of which are in this photo. Just haven't finished these ones yet but wanted an aesthetic photo of what kind of books I like to read.

Non-cat owners don't know that you're actually supposed to annoy your cats a little bit.

Algerians doing jigs in Kansas... Brits eating barbecue in Texas... Koreans doing full on kegstands in Mexico... just goes to show that the entire world can be united by the simple concept of getting really drunk and watching a sporting event

There are about 18,000 species of wasps in North America. Roughly 20 of them can hurt you.

The wasps people fear are all from one family: Vespidae. They make up less than 1% of wasp species on the continent. They build the visible nests, they defend them aggressively, and they're the ones you remember from a bad encounter.

The other 99% live solitary lives and ignore humans entirely. Many can't sting at all. Many more have stingers but never use them on people because they don't have a nest to defend.

What they do instead is hunt other insects. A single mud dauber stocks her nest with paralyzed spiders, including widows and recluses. A braconid wasp lays eggs in tomato hornworms. An ichneumon wasp parasitizes wood-boring beetles that kill ash trees. A cuckoo wasp infiltrates the nests of other wasps and bees. Some species control aphids; others control caterpillars, beetle grubs, or flies.

Most agricultural pest insects in North America are controlled, in part, by parasitic wasps that almost no human ever sees. There are over 25,000 species of ichneumon wasps alone, and they keep entire orders of insects in check.

The five or so wasp species that ruin a picnic in late August are real. The 17,995 species that are running the pest control infrastructure of an entire continent get almost none.

Would love to know the politics of the guy down the street who herbicides all the dandelions in his postage stamp sized lawn, lets the grass grow to 2ft tall and go to seed, and then has mowed for the first time this year today

before mystery inc nobody knew you could just get in a van and go around solving mysteries. we all thought you needed like. training. for that. or to be a policeman. but fred and shaggy and the gang taught us that nobody can stop you even if you don't know what you're doing
