Yes, a lot. And you?

That's true and it's kind of bad to have them where you're walking daily. That's when I would do something as well.

I already said that in my first comment.

Theyre an important part of the ecosystem though. Pest killer number one. If there's constantly wasps settling near you, there's a reason.

Yes, I value scientific research over some subjective random comment on Lemmy. Weird, I know.

Apparently that's a myth according to every source I could find about wasps in the US.

They seek out your breath, so people start panicking swinging wildly and running away, which in return might be considered a threat for the wasp.

Hold your breath and walk away.

Killed wasps on the other hand attract other wasps out for revenge, if the nest is somewhere nearby.

Do they really attack on sight?

Here it's usually that they seek out the breath because of the monoxide and people start panicking because the ly fly into their face and seemingly wont go away. So they Start swinging their arms at the wasp and it feels in danger and attacks.

Easiest solution is to hold breath and walk away if they bother you.

I'm from germany, and it indeed is in summer, even in large cities. Wasps come in with the customers and wont leave.

I prefer desease free wasp food over pigeon and rat shit in my cooked food.

I guess in the end I eat both. I try to buy locally whenever possible, but I guess sugar is hard to source locally.

Don't watch videos of raw food material transportation like grain or sugar.

A bit of shit on our food gives us some needed trace elements.

Africanised bees will be like that, but we don't really have them in europe as far as I know.

Wasps usually only get really stingy if you disturb their nest or come way too close to it.

You'll find wasps in almost any bakery in summer. Also in and around garbage cans.

You grab the pastry and they will usually fly away and settle onto the next one a bit later.

I would remove it from the door, apply sewing machine oil and then slam it onto a surface until a part appears that I can grab with pliers.

I have never done this and it might not work but destroy your lock.

This type of keyhole is generally harder to pick than a regular barded key. Well, obviously not when the key is stuck in the keyhole.

[...]It was the first conviction of a Louisville police officer who was involved in the deadly raid.

Some members of the jury were in tears as the verdict was read around 9:30 p.m. They had earlier indicated to the judge in two separate messages that they were deadlocked on the charge of using excessive force on Taylor, but chose to continue deliberating. The six man, six woman jury deliberated for more than 20 hours over three days. [...]

In their analysis, the researchers found no significant differences in conspiracy mentality between the autistic group and the general population. Both groups scored similarly, indicating that being autistic does not inherently affect one’s general susceptibility to conspiracy beliefs.

This finding suggests that conspiracy mentality is not linked with autism, contradicting two potential hypotheses the researchers explored: one that autism might increase susceptibility to conspiracy beliefs due to common experiences of social exclusion, and another that autism might offer a type of protection against these beliefs due to cognitive characteristics associated with autism, such as analytical thinking.
