I feel like bees are a bit of a grey area. We're not eating them, we're kind of like landlords that give them a nice place to stay and they pay rent in honey. I'm not vegan so I'm not quite sure what the rationale is for bee stuff.

Thats pretty neat "you cant kill something thats not alive". Can viruses respond to stimuli? We consider bacteria alive but viruses are debated, wheres the line? are enzymes alive? Are prions alive? cool article.

technically viruses aren't alive. They just use cellular machinery to replicate and thats it.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10144565/ Here's a good start on "NNS"/non nutritional sweeteners.
Honestly its probably not a very big impact, its more of a "its possible" sort of thing.
Its a really interesting field!

ya I did a lit review for my thesis a few years back, plenty of papers on microbes metabolizing these compounds, shouldn't be hard to find.

FYI there is no such thing as truly "zero calorie". Sure, we can't use aspartame and those "0 calorie" sweeteners for energy BUT our gut microbes can metabolize those compounds into products that we can then use for energy. So one way or another you're still taking in calories. Now do you gain more energy from straight sugar vs the sweeteners? I have no idea, I haven't studied this in years. I just like to bring up that little bit of trivia whenever anyone brings up zero calorie drinks in conversation :)

I saw a meme about using red and blue ink and old 3D glasses with one red lens and one blue. That seemed pretty smart.

I prefer RPG, interesting narratives and "experiences". I also used to be really into multiplayer games like halo 3, MW2, battlefield 4/bad company2 and even rainbow 6 siege. Whats turned me off of all that is aggressive monetization and super competitive sweat fests. It feels like all the fun/soul in those "good oll' days" games just isn't there anymore. Peak fun for me was maxed out halo 3 custom games and they just don't make them like that anymore.

I'm not into clubs/loud music but I do love casual pubs where you can get some good beer and decent food and just chat forever. Thats a good time for me.

Maybe it's just being alive is bad for your health? I don't even have kids and I'm terminally stressed out.
