    (camera focuses on the news playing on a TV in a home in the countryside, slowly pulling back away from the monitor)

    “…thanks to their efforts, experts have now stated with certainty that this threat has been eradicated…”

    (the camera has pulled back enough that the screen is framed by an outside window with a tree trunk coming into frame from the right)

    “…and many communities in the northwest united states can breathe easier knowing that these dreaded hornets are no longer found on our shores. Reporting from Seattle…”

    (focus shifts to the tree bark. Buzzing is heard, getting louder and louder until a single murder hornet queen lands on the tree. Cut to black. Roll credits)















  • The first time I saw this was right after the Texas ice storm and power grid failure a few years ago. A lot of people were suddenly stuck in their now unheated homes trying to get by with what they had on hand. That’s when people found out that containing most of the heat from a candle is better than nothing.

    Word spread because most people had time to kill and the stuff to try it. If you are careful about it you could warm cold hands or get a mild radiation effect if you’re close to it.

    But yeah it’s not going to heat a room to any comfortable level on it’s own. And you probably don’t need the $100+ ones they sell on Etsy.
