Bird is slang for women.
I can only imagine Bee is for men because “penis = stinger?” 🤷♂️
What if I ain’t got no penis due to an unfortunate gold smelting accident?
Traditionally birds = women because they make nests
Bees = men because they pollinate.
Please do disregard the fact that bees make hives/nests AND birds pollinate
99% of bees are female
Right, but it’s a metaphor not a science experiment
Right, but male birds are usually the “pretty” ones because they have to impress the females with their display, and bees are all female, so it seems like a terribly inaccurate metaphor, if we can even call it that
Yes. I pointed that out in my original comment also.
Since birds pollinate and bees make nests, it as youve pointed out sexual dimorphism in birds tends to have them as the pretty ones.
It’s a weak metaphor
They both do both, lol. Not arguing with you by the way. I’ve just never heard this as a thing before other than the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and the moon up above… I assume it vaguely comes from that maybe, but I’ve never heard men and women as birds and bees or whatnot
Yeah the talk kids get is often called “the birds and the bees”
The birds are used to signify mommy making her nest and laying an egg and bees “pollinate flowers”
It’s a metaphor for little kids.
The scientific aspects of the species are moot because it’s a very basic metaphor for how sexy times works.
I’d also like to note that because of how ambiguously and interchangeably everything fits in the analogy I’m POSITIVE the version I’m familiar with is not the only version so it could likely be flip flopped elsewhere.
It’s impossible for me to forget that all bees (& wasps & ants) are order HYMENOPERTA, literally named for them being 99% virgin females
So I am totally stumped.
Hymen means membrane. -ptera is wing. They have membranous wings, and no carapace like beetles. Not named due to virginity.
Hymenoptera* 🤭
Bees fly around carrying the “sperm” of one plant to another.
Worker bees are female. Male bees only hang around the queen for sex.
Do you give out quests to worthy adventurers?
Then I believe you have a key and are good either way
In the USA, will I be deported to El Salvador for picking the wrong one?
Depends on which state this happens in. The south? Absolutely!
I’ll just bring a few essentials with me…
The real silver lining of them wanting to start being able to deport American citizens is if they do it en masse, El Salvador will end up full of physicists, doctors, professors, etc and be catapulted into a futuristic utopia.
The year is 2113. I’ve just graduated top of my class at the Santa Muerte penal colony in El Salvador. Like my classmates, I will begin my mission to find any remaining survivors in the North American wastelands next week.
Bukele would probably execute them before that happens.
So far I’ve only heard of them being Epstein’d - can’t risk knowledge of nuclear fusion falling into others hands… (/s, as if anything it was likely either capitalism or sheer blind & dumb stupidity that did this one)
Honduras.
Plot twist.
They’re both just unisex single bathrooms
I genuinely hope this is the real answer.
The good ending: They both lead to the same room
Hopefully the room has a toilet in it.
Both men’s and women’s restrooms will have a toilet. Actually the women’s will have more.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s (also with no toilet…)
Is it good because we do hand stuff? Eew.
But I’m in.
If they can’t bother to label their doors correctly, then they clearly won’t mind which one I go into.
I’m whichever one doesn’t have anybody in it! Not my problem that they can’t label the doors clearer.
Normally bees are female, right? Worker drones are sterile female, and only when it’s queen swarm time do males get hatched.
But honestly, as long as the stalls are enclosed, who the hell cares? We all have to do our business, and it doesn’t matter who is in the room or other stalls.
I think it does matter
Ok… Why? What’s your reasoning that it matters?
Because of creepy guys
A guy who wants to creep is not going to be stopped by a sign.
Maybe he will sit at a table and track who goes in and out of women’s room and wait till there is no one in there, to go to “the wrong door by accident” and hide in stall.
A sign won’t stop them. Punishment will…if you experience that report it. Get them arrested. If they try to make it physical punch scream kick scratch.
Its like locking your car doors. A car thief is likely to just break the window. Or just steal your catalytic converter.
It makes you feel safe but doesn’t prevent crime.
Then avoid this establishment.
Well, it shouldn’t, if people would mind their business.
It’s because birds have cloaca just like human women.
Oh shit, will my stinger fall off if I, umm, sting someone?
Only female bees have stingers.
Lol Yes, I think I’ve seen a few nature docs in my life
I kind love these. It’s a little taste for the rest of us what a few of us must feel almost every time they enter a public bathroom.
I ran into one and I felt afraid I would be judged for choosing a room that others didn’t expect me to.
So I rehearsed a quick meaningless apology and took a guess.
No one actually bothered me, but it was still a little stressful.
And then I thought, “Oh, that’s what it feels like.”
I also learned the same place had plenty of other bathrooms clearly labeled in a “for use by anyone” manner. So I guess if I had chickened out, I could still have found those.
Go in one and make your decision based on whether or not you see urinals.
Obviously birds are women, so so are Queen Bs. Just go on the floor outside.
Birds lay eggs, like women do Monthly.
Bees pollinate everything, like men do.
I’m making this up completely. Did I guess right?
Woman and girls. No men or boys.
I’m a large lizard and very hungry.
Assert yourself, shit in your hands and smear it on the door handles. That’ll teach them (and get you arrested).
