I mean, locust hoards, stampedes, feeding frenzies, a flock of starlings, a school of fish.
Then examples of mob behaviors just in humans...
Hiveminds definitely exist in nature on a temporary basis, no one ever said it was psychic.
If the premise of a joke isn't true, it's not a good joke
Mob/swarm behaviors are way different from hives. Not only are those temporary and contextual, but they only cover a small portion of an animal's life. Flocks of birds and schools of fish are temporary formations that animals can be part of, but they also nest as a separate formation away from the flock/school/swarm etc etc.
A hive lives and breathes together in every moment of their lives. Even when an individual is away from the hive, everything they do is still for the hive. Packs have more in common with hives than flocks or schools or swarms.
And one such pack animal just so happens to rule Earth and be its most advanced species. Maybe we'd have more in common with the hive mind than we think - and it's up to one teen's dance troupe to save the world and unite our species!
