A Polish jalapeño pastry

Measured in kilotons
Mmm. I don't know much about ordinance, but that looks like a conventional line charge to me. I'm probably wrong.

I think Europe and surrounding countries do a lot of shit right, but some things like protecting wasps and making melatonin prescription genuinely baffle me. What the fuck
Fuk wasps.

Tell me your secret on how to get these things out of a building, it's already freaking hard in a house where the door doesn't open every 5 minutes.
Flies or wasps are also a completely different thing. The worst/only thing that can happen with wasps is that one doesn't move away when you take a bite and stings you.
Edit: yes I know mosquito nets etc will help against flies, but that generally doesn't help in a store (depending on the type of door even impossible). Plus once they open insects like to get in with the people at the same time and even if nothing opens they tend to find a way in a lot of buildings.

In the US, many stores with food (grocery stores, restaurants) have what’s essentially a crappy pressurized airlock. You go through one set of doors, above which is an outward-facing blower, into a small room with higher pressure, then through another set of doors. The airlock is also often filled with hidden bug zappers, but even without them, insects getting in would be drastically reduced.

Well yeah that works I guess, impossible to fit into old and often small buildings though so not an option for us.
Let alone at home!Thx for the response!

It is Polish. No idea why the dude even went there, it is a Polish bakery with wasps on the food. Not uncommon to see over there with some places that are outside or keep doors open.
Um ... you aren't getting the joke?
It's a Polak joke. They are a bit out of style in the US. More of a 60's thing. But it was huge.
Are you pretending that this isn't happening? -
Them and the Irish can wish all they want, but they will never be white!
Mmm. That's both sides of my family. I'm fuked.

For older and smaller buildings with food, we often have an “air curtain” generated by a blower above the door. https://berner.com/air-curtains-101/types-of-air-curtains/
Though I’ve never seen a home with one.

Fuck, I entered a bakery in Vienna once that was flooded with wasps everywhere. I asked about it and the person just went
️.
Still haunts me.wrote on last edited by [email protected]Whenever I go to Germany it's the same thing! What is it with european bakeries and wasps? Wait a second... the europeans must be undercover wasps and they let and don't mind the wasps eating their food because they're their kind! It all makes sence now!

There seems to be a vast gulf here. American wasps will fukin attack you for fun. So you kill them first.
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.
-
Do German wasps attack you unprovoked like ours do?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]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 just like, not have screens over there? I stayed in Germany once and the whole house had no screens on the windows, then I started noticing that I couldn't see them anywhere I went.

If you are too close to the nest, they will send out scouts, and then you can expect an attack. Kill them first.

Hmm. When you consulted "every source I could find about wasps in the US" apparently you chose to disregard the direct feedback of people on the front line. Hmm.

A bee is a type of wasp, is it not? I think techniclly ants are wasps too.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]A bee is not a type of wasp. They are both Hymenoptera, one of the 4 types of insects, but that would be the same as saying a dog is a type of human because both are Eutheria.

Are you pretending that this isn't happening?There is no joke, the text is in Polish and this happens all the time in bakeries with sweet shit laid out like this. So you want it to be a "polak joke" when it isn't. This isn't someone being racist / nationalistic / making this about haha those stupid Poles, this is literally a bakery in Poland with wasps on it, which isn't uncommon to see.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Um ... Ya, there's a graphic. And then there's the post title. And together they tell the joke.
It's ok. You don't have to get it. It will be fine.
(Hint ... there are no jalapenos in the pastry.) -

(Hint ... there are no jalapenos in the pastry.)Jesus christ, yes, there are no jalapenos in the pastry. Because there are wasps on it. Making it "spicy". What your post and the petulant "hint" glosses over is the fact that it is a professional bakery selling pastries, with Polish text on it, Polish currency and Polish units on it (szt). What it glosses over is the fact that had the text been in German, it would've been a German spicy pastry. Had it been in Greek, it would've been a Greek spicy pastry.
As I said, I have seen this EXACT thing hundreds of times in Poland, it isn't anything new and it isn't a "haha Polak so stoopid" joke.
So chill out and stop being outraged just to be outraged.

Lol. Nobody is outraged. Its a shitty joke in the shitpost comm. We come here to do that. Accept it.
