GET BOMBADEERED, IDIOT (infosec.pub)
 

The Brachinus crepitans, or bombardier beetle, measures just 2 cm but wields a powerful chemical defense. When threatened, it mixes hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide inside its abdomen, triggering an exothermic reaction that reaches 100 °C. It ejects bursts of corrosive benzoquinones at 500 pulses per second, burning and repelling predators. This precise, repeatable mechanism has inspired research into reigniting gas turbines in aircraft under extreme conditions as low as –50 °C. Its internal valve and chamber system is now studied in chemical engineering and advanced biomimicry.

I love living in a seaside English tourist area, watching tourists get absolutely bullied to bits by the seagulls.

Most people are good. So good, that we need to be pushed well beyond our limits to fight back and that's the tragedy.
