On the old site™️, they once shared a video of how someone killed a whole nest of wasps with gasoline. I commented how that was unnecessary animal cruelty (even illegal in Germany) and got downvoted into oblivion.

Gotta get that karma. 🫠 I've had that happen on there with things I research and I stopped bothering after a while. I look at it like a petri dish now.

Hey, the option of being stung multiple times by aggressive dickheads who absolutely have to nest outside your door is always on the table. Enjoy. Be forewarned though: they'll sting you multiple times and it hurts like a motherfucker.

If they don't want to be killed instantly they can nest 500 yards in that direction and no one will be the wiser. But they don't.
