There are 3D models available for paper wasp nests, that can stop them from latching to your house. Wasps are HIGHLY territorial, and will not start a new colony nearby to another nest.
I left an old one up by my garage, and despite it being empty, no wasps come remotely close to my the front of my house anymore.
I’m a gardener and every time someone approaches my door to solicit pest management, I ask if it will kill the wasps and spiders. Every single time they share an excited yes, I get to tell them that I don’t kill my gardening coworkers.
Wasps and spiders eat the bugs that eat my crops. Pesticides also greatly increase your risk of health issues. No thank you.
Why is this on Uplifting News? This is dangerous… age verification exists on many sites for a reason. 😵💫
She’s grown up, but still so cute!
I remember the first time I saw the ‘evolved Troodon’ as a little girl and it terrified me. I’m curious what it would be updated to, since we’ve learned so much in the last 30 years
When i first got my dog, it was freezing cold outside, but she was so small that pet stores didn’t have any clothes that would fit. I ended up cutting up my fuzzy socks to turn them into coats. Seeing another dog in a sock sweater made me so so happy.
I think that means you’ve been fortunate enough not to feel the need to turn a piece of fruit, bug, or rat into a cathartic feeling of peace or closure. The animal, fruit, or veggie would be given to the zoo creature anyways, and this raises funds to help conservation.
I’ll happily name a carrot after my ex and watch it be fed to a giraffe.
Awwww. I was gonna post that mummy.
My dog has peed on it, so it’s his. I just work for him lol
I hope that YouTube, Instagram, and Pandora notice that I close their app every time I see a gambling ad
My friend’s daughter works at a Starbucks and has been dealing with this, because they’re not allowed to write political names. I told her to start calling out the name Charles, because it’s his legal name, and it’s not inherently political.
As long as you’re sure it’s Queen Anne’s Lace (hairy stem, flowers with red dot), rip it up and use it. They’re much tougher than normal carrots, but still taste great and make a lovely vegetable stock. My dogs go NUTS for them as treats. There’s a bunch of tutorials online for how to use them.
Note: You won’t be able to get rid of them without weed killer, because their seeds turn into little burrs that cling to animals… but the plant is tasty, so why waste it?
That’s a 3D printed dildo! I really hope the person wasn’t using it! Ouch!
Hermit crabs love them too!
Agreed, we hate it too. Can’t afford to stay home, can’t afford to see a doctor.
When I was living in Canada, my partner needed to go to the ER and get a blood clot removed. We were seen by a doctor within 45 minutes and the bill for a non-citizen on visa was $250. After we moved to the US, it happened again. It took 3 WEEKS, 2 referrals, and over $14k for the same procedure. Capitalism is cruelty.
You guys have benefits to protect you, if you get sick. Americans barely get sick leave, medical bills are ridiculous, and if covid leaves you crippled, SSI (Disability) pays a whopping $11k a YEAR. It’s not enough to survive on, despite paying taxes. Yeah, someone might have worked enough hours to get SSDI, which is a few dollars more an hour, but still not enough to cover rent.
In all fairness, I’m distracted by cool light shows, too.

They’re complex and awesome creatures. I had one, named Alfredo, who lived for years, because I did the research.
Nearly all hermit crabs have been kidnapped from the beach, and that made me feel so guilty… I didn’t know when I got him from a mall.
They can’t just go in a tiny aquarium, or they’ll get depressed, malnourished, and die.
They need heat rocks to remember basking in the sun; they love snacks (Alfredo adored cheez-its covered in peanut butter); they have gills, so their shells must have water in them, or they’ll stop breathing; they love exercising… you can get the hermit crab version of a hamster wheel and they will play on it all day. They’re also really social. They want friends, places to hide, places to dig, to roam and explore, and if they do, they’ll live a long life.
Since they’ve become a partner with PSA (card grading), they’ve made so much money, it makes sense. PSA has a 10 MILLION backlog and ones submitted through GameStop were less expensive and quicker grading times… They’re making so much money
