I despise the typical first day of school icebreakers. “Two Truths and a Lie” has had its time. I refuse to ask 30 teenagers what animal they’d be and why while we all slowly die inside.

So I’ve been racking my brain for something that might actually break through that painfully awkward first-day silence.

And then it hit me: What if I just piss them off?

My plan is to put students in small groups, give each group a handful of completely inconsequential but rage-inducing statements, and let them argue it out. Nothing political, serious, or actually divisive—just the kind of low-stakes opinions that make teenagers immediately go, “NO. Absolutely not.”

Think:
The toilet paper roll should hang under, not over.
Water is wet.
A hot dog is a sandwich.
Pineapple belongs on pizza.
Cereal is technically soup.
The middle seat gets both armrests.
Crocs are appropriate footwear for every occasion.

The problem is, this activity lives or dies by the quality of the rage bait.

So, Reddit: give me your best harmless opinions/statements that would have a room full of high schoolers passionately arguing within 30 seconds.

I want petty. I want ridiculous. I want hills they are inexplicably willing to die on.

I'm new to Colorado beekeeping and looking for some advice.
My first hive didn't survive the winter, so this spring I decided to start over with two hives. I installed both packages in late April. About two weeks later, I inspected this hive and saw eggs, larvae, and brood, so I assumed the queen was present and laying normally.
About three weeks after that, I inspected again and found multiple eggs per cell and the spotty drone brood pattern shown in the photos. I spent a long time going through every frame looking for a queen and couldn't find one.
I wasn't convinced it was definitely a laying worker situation, especially since it seemed like laying workers would have developed very quickly. To test it, I added a frame of eggs and young brood from my healthy hive and hoped they would raise an emergency queen.
When I checked back a week later, they had completely cleaned out the brood frame—no brood, pollen, honey, or queen cells. Just empty drawn comb. The hive is now only about three frames of bees, has lots of drones, and I'm still seeing fresh eggs, often multiple per cell.
I'm hesitant to keep donating brood because I don't want to weaken my thriving hive.
Given this situation, what would you do next? Would you try anything else, or is shaking out the colony and starting over with a nuc the best option at this point?

Help! Is this a laying worker situation?
