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.

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!
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.

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.
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.

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?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.

It is not a "polak joke" in any way, but you do you.

Mmm. That's both sides of my family. I'm fuked.
Great bunch of lads, in fairness.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]That's true and it's kind of bad to have them where you're walking daily. That's when I would do something as well.
I already said that in my first comment.
Theyre an important part of the ecosystem though. Pest killer number one. If there's constantly wasps settling near you, there's a reason.

Screens exist, but they are probably not very common.

- it would be illegal to go after the nest in Germany. At least generally. There are of course exceptions, but you’d need to get the authorities involved and a specialist remove them.
- you’d often need to dig, because the most annoying wasps (common wasp and German yellowjacket) often have their nests underground

Because I just glanced at the picture while hiding my phone from customers and thought they were bees
I still think they look like bees. I've only ever known wasps to be black

Can I get one without wasps, please?

i have never seen anyone use screens in sweden, it's like how AC is kind of a luxury thing in northern europe, we just sit around all summer whinging about the heat

this is true if you sensibly agree that "wasp" is a generic term and not hornets specifically, bees and ants are "wasps" but they are not hornets.
