What does it take to teach a bee to use tools? A little time, a good teacher and an enticing incentive. Read more here: http://to.pbs.org/2mpRUAz

“Friend? Friend push ball? I push ball. I do good.”

Bees.  Smart enough to push a ball, not smart enough to not be fooled by a stick masquerading as a bee. 

maybe they know and they’re just being polite

Other dimensional beings are undoubtedly amazed at what human beings will accept as human beings too. “But it’s just a stick with a person on it.”

I wonder, have they tested it with just a stick? Maybe it’s not that the bee thinks the stick is a real bee, maybe it just sees ball + hole = food.

Garden claws! Very useful both for digging and for Black Panther impressions!

someone please post the gif

I think we all need some of these

I have these, and they’re actually quite useful. You can dig with your hands and not hurt yourself or get caked with dirt. Ever wished you could just do that thing that dogs do where they effortlessly dig a big ole hole? Now you can!

That’s a lot of nuggets right there

can u imagine going noodlin and this chomps down on you oh my god

Duuuuude!! Catfish grow to the amount of food there is which means the river these guys came from must be plentiful as fuck, or it’s eating the native species. 
PSA: do NOT catch and release catfish. The fuckers will screw with the rivers ecosystem if they’re not native to the area.
These are the sort of size fish that WILL have a go at eating people as well, they will probs chock but yeah.
Catfish have little to no sight, since they’re bottom feeders they scout for food mostly using their feelers, and just swallow whatever they think can fit in their mouths. 

I watch a lot of Jeremy Wades River Monsters when I’m bored. The shit he films is ridiculous and I love it.

Edit: Cat fish are also cannibals if there’s no other food source.

The immediate Southern response; how well will this go with cornbread?

No, those are wels catfish. They’re supposed to get that big. Yes, they need a lot of food, but they try to grow to that size. Other catfish won’t grow to that size no matter how much you feed them.

My mom woke me up and was like “get up let’s go to the market” so I was like ‘okay’ and I got up and got dressed and went out into the kitchen to see my mom just waking up still in her robe and she turns to me and I’m confused because she was just dressed? So I was like “did you just tell me to get up and go somewhere with you or did I dream that??????????” And she was like “…. no… I was thinking about waking you up in a few hours to ask if you wanted to go to the farmers market with me though…”

So like I had a dream she woke me up to go to the farmers market that was real enough for me to get up and get dressed only for her to tell me she had only thought about waking me up to go to the farmers market????

I was just like “yeah well you think too loud it woke me up” and went back to bed because like ??

It’s starting…

This reply is omenous and slightly terrifying
