“Fun” fact: The biomass of all the bees in the world is greater than the biomass of almost all the bees in the world.

[–] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

There you go proving that “Fun Facts” seldom are.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I had a good time

Why do you guys want to kill these lions so bad???

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Honestly im trying to find something that the lions can win in but it's not easy

[–] JoeyHarrington@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Not football

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Humans. If we don't have weapons, we would go down SOOOO fast.

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lions are literally losing to us as we speak, and a significant amount of us are on the Lions' side

That's still like a hundred to one or even way worse. We can simply shove in (group reader doesn't like) until they are so full that they can't move any more and then pile on each individually and still have a few billion people preparing the lion BBQ for afterwards.

The numbers gap is ridiculously huge!

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

All of the orcas, but they gotta fight on land...

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

There is a game on Steam you may enjoy. The name eludes me this second, but you get to set a number of certain types of things to fight another of your choice. It has modding support and can be quite fun. I'll try to find the name and edit it here

Edit: Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2.

I didn't know they released a sequel. I don't have any knowledge on it, only the first, and it has been years since I played

Edit 2: Here is the original game. It looks like it has better reviews

[–] Shanedino@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I think you are either overestimating the number of lions or underestimating thr number of the other things. It is to some degree a pure numbers game and there are just not a lot of lions comparatively.

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm gonna go with bees. They're just too small for lions to effectively fight them.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

But they're also Kamakazis, and die after their best attack.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago
[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Let's see who can make a bee lion to the correct answer.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Let's keep decreasing the badassness of the insect types until the lions win.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm guessing the same goes for bees. Those stings are bad.

I wanna know Gators and or crocodiles vs lions.

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Oh my God I forgot bees sting

I was thinking they would swarm them a few at a time and do the vibrate-cook thing they do to predators

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bible's already covered this and the bees won.

Judges 14:8 (KJV)

8 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.

In other news, I can't believe I pulled that out of my ass. No idea what this bit of the Samson story is about.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Those were Vulture Bees and have no sting so it wasn't the swarm that killed the lion. Their nests are gnarly too.

But to be clear, if every lion fought every been, I'm pretty sure the bees win 100%. There aren't that many lions out there.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Not the bees! Not the bees!

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Who would win, all the unicorns or all the krackens?

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 2 points 2 months ago

Everything fear the bees cmon, itvs an easiest fight.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 months ago

The bees can fly, so obviously them.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

I'm trying to imagine how were going to get lions and bees to compete. I think all the lions want all the bees because they polinate the vert that their snacks eat.

And the lions regulate the animals that eat the plants the bees depend on.

It's all good between lions and bees.
