Das Video zeigt eine animierte Geschichte mit Bienenfiguren, die auf einer Blattoberfläche und in der Mitte einer Blume spielen. Die Bienen sind in traditionellen Bienenfarben mit schwarzen und gelben Streifen und haben kleine Flügel und Antennen. Im ersten Teil des Videos sind die Bienen auf einem Blatt zu sehen, das mit Wasserperlen bedeckt ist. Eine Bienenfigur steht auf dem Blatt und scheint mit einer anderen Bienenfigur zu interagieren, während zwei andere Bienenfiguren unten im Bild fliegen. Der Hintergrund zeigt eine Blattoberfläche mit Wasserperlen. Oben im Bild steht der Text "Es spielt keine Rolle wie alt du bist," und unten steht "Wenn dieses Lied kommt singst du mit." Diese Texte sind in deutscher Sprache und betonen die Botschaft der Unabhängigkeit von Alter und die Einladung zum Singen.
Im weiteren Verlauf des Videos wechseln die Bienenfiguren ihre Positionen und spielen in der Mitte einer Blume, die mit einem Uhrwerk im Zentrum dargestellt ist. Die Bienen scheinen die Uhr zu betrachten und zu interagieren. Der Hintergrund zeigt die Blumenblätter und das Zentrum der Blume. Der Text bleibt gleich, und die Bienenfiguren sind immer noch in Bewegung, was eine dynamische und lebendige Szene schafft.
Schließlich zeigt das Video die Bienenfiguren auf einer großen Blume, die mit einem blauen Hintergrund und weiteren Blumen im Hintergrund dargestellt ist. Der Text "Nach den Geschichten von Waldemar Bonsels" erscheint im Bild, was auf die Quelle der Geschichte hinweist. Die Bienenfiguren sind immer noch in Bewegung, und die Szene ist lebendig und farbenfroh. Der Text "Wenn dieses Lied kommt singst du mit" bleibt gleich, und die Bienenfiguren sind immer noch in Bewegung, was eine dynamische und lebendige Szene schafft.

I used to keep this card sleeve on my work desk before the pandemic made my job WFH that had a Balloon Lizard from Yu-Gi-Oh!! and an Inflation Station card from Magic The Gathering.
I wonder if anyone ever suspected anything about me from it, I think I only ever had one side of it visible so it must’ve seemed like I just enjoyed one of those card games (I don’t really play either, but enjoy YGO)

in reply to how to do anything • • •The image shows a hand holding birdseed above a bird feeder. The bird feeder is a square metal platform with a central pole, and it is filled with various colored seeds. The hand is positioned above the feeder, with seeds being poured onto it. A green checkmark is visible in the upper right corner, indicating approval or correctness of the action. The background is blurred, suggesting an outdoor setting with a building and greenery. The image appears to be an instructional illustration, possibly demonstrating the correct way to fill a bird feeder.
