Honey is not vomit as it does not reach the stomach. They store it in a special chamber in their esophagus.
Honey is the result of bees deepthroating nectar then spitting it out.

I have a parrot and sometimes he attempts to feed me from his crop storage, it’s gross.
We’re pretty sure that humans chewed food for their children before blenders and packaged baby food
Some even assume children were born before there were hospitals and doctors around, crazy take, I know.
Most mothers have no qualms about eating the goey half eaten leftovers from their baby.
Or lactated
After that.
Whole foods
During the breast feeding time alternatives would be a porridge, or animal milk. I assume you could grind food with a pestle and mortar but the baby would most likely die of malnourishment without it
Humans have only been farming grain for about 10 thousand years, and there’s not many other foods you can grind. Ancient humans ate a lot of meat, and babies after weaning ate meat, much of it pre-chewed by mum. Things like brain wouldn’t need to be chewed

I imagine it’s like a grandma that doesn’t cook well.
Gross. But also not much grosser than eating off delicious animal corpses.
Would you like dirty bean water or dirty leaf water with your charred carrion, sir?
Actually, can I see the old, rotten fruit liquid list please?
Sorry, we only have a selection of carbonated mould water.
I’ll just have the boiled plant mash filtered through compost.
I’ll have the carbonated fish and wildlife piss filtered through rock procured at a price the fraction of the household supply sold at 10x the price to the detriment of the ecology please.
Wait, what’s this?
My guess is whisky
Cat poop coffee is still the grossest food. Well, maybe this one cheese with live maggots jumping into your face while eating it has it beat.
Those honey stick ball spoon things are so fucking dumb. Just use a regular spoon, fork, or butter knife.
But how will I feel like the honey nut cheerios bee?
Convince kids to eat your family’s vomit that is coating processed grains you shill so some guy makes in one year more money than a family could make in 10 generations?
Never used one myself, but apparently lightly spinning them helps the honey not drip because it’s so viscous. Stop spinning it and it can be drizzled.
Had to search online because I never understood why one would not just use a spoon either, but if it means there’s not as many little honey trails on the edge of the container, I can see the point. Learned something new today!
You can do that rolling trick for the dribble with standard flatware, you do have to spin faster though to get it to work well.
The same idea applies to things you’re pouring out of; twist axially while tipping the container upright and you’ll have dramatically less spillage, even with viscous fluids like honey.
Honey centrifuge jotted in the business ideas journal ✅
you leave my honey wand alone
You’re a wizard, Fedizen!
I think if you’ve got a pot of clear honey, something about the metal changes the honey. We got a pot from a local one time and it was awesome to start with but kept getting cloudier over time (could also be something far simpler, like oxygen!)
The honey starts to crystalize. If you put it in some warm water it will return to normal:
Legend, thanks for clearing that up!
Why are they dumb?
They have exactly one use, and that use is already well performed with spoons
Yeah, but how will I show people how cool I am!
…Why did they pour it into a contact lens though?
Better adhesion
Second strong contender is a particular
termite’sant’s poop which lives in the jungle and is also mostly sugar.EDIT: I misremembered, it’s an ant. Here’s a neat article about it.

Nah it’s more like cookie crumb.

Honey is great, but probably my favorite most interesting bug byproduct is shellac.
chitin&chitosan
research
TLDR: “Chitosan and derivatives have been explored in the development of nanomaterials, bioadhesives, wound dressing materials, improved drug delivery systems, enteric coatings, and in medical devices.”
How many others have we tried? 🤨
Two words: Ant milk. Imagine the marketing campaign.
“We need child labor because only a child’s hands are small and delicate enough to squeeze the ant teat.”
ant teat
I have nipples, Greg. Can you milk me?
What about spider milk? Apparently it’s actually a thing.
Thank you so much for volunteering, for the sake of science! :-P
Probably all?
No way, we haven’t even found all of them yet! Based on estimations, about 50~95% of all species have not been identified. (I looked that up.) You can go out there right now and find the new tastiest vomit yourself!
All we could get our hands on then
Makes it sound like they were desperate to eat insect puke.
I think it was more just desperate to eat.
Yes, so far… Hehehe
