When you see "24 people injured by bees" you're picturing the bees hiding around the corner with a 2x4 and smacking anyone who walks by. Pretty bizarre situation that could have been caused by those giant hornets who prey on bees, according to one theory

AURILLAC, France (AP) — A unusual attack by bees in the French town of Aurillac has left 24 people injured, including three who were in critical condition but have since improved, according to local authorities.

Passersby were stung over a period of about 30 minutes on Sunday morning, according to the Prefecture of Cantal, in south-central France. Firefighters and medical teams were rushed to the scene to treat the victims, while police set up a security perimeter until the bees stopped their attack.

The three people in critical condition were evacuated to a local hospital. Pierre Mathonier, the mayor of Aurillac, told French broadcaster BFM TV on Monday that their condition has improved.

One of them was a 78-year-old person who had to be resuscitated after cardiorespiratory arrest and is now in stable condition, he said. The two others “are in good health,” he added.

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.

Depression replaced with horror?

I'll take it.

isn't this something everybody knows already? it's been common knowledge since like, forever. even if you're a middle school dropout, live in willful ignorance and never pick up a book or periodical, you'll still accidentally learn this fact from TV and movies

Let's see if this link works. It's just as fast-paced and exciting as a peewee soccer tournament

Actually, they should've pitted the robots against little kids. That would've been hilarious.

I sure would like to read this article, it seems fascinating, but it's paywalled.

it's inspiring that in the states you can be a convicted felon, and/or just a totally unqualified moron with no experience in any sort of political office (see: POTUS) and get a high profile position in the federal government. america truly is the land of opportunity

In another recent example from the UK, a crossing guard was banned from high-fiving the children he helps cross the road because doing so slows down traffic.

sounds about right. also, apparently the UK calls their crossing guards "lollipop men"? I assume it's because their crossing sign looks like a giant lollipop

Man, Hollywood sure knows how to cash in on generational heartstrings

I remember when Transformers came out, back in like... idk, '05? '06? Anyway, I was 30, and there was nothing on Earth that was gonna stop me from going to see it. Not even Megatron himself

I've been meaning to check out this "nature" thing, or whatever it's called. It's basically like, just lakes and woods and the sky and all kinda weird shit like that. Supposed to be pretty cool I guess, idk

I've been ad-free youtubing since it came out in '06 or whenever that was. It's a shame that they disabled uBlock on Chrome, I used to really enjoy my chromebook before it became spam cancer
