We’re working on it.
funny how well this fits for both meanings
I used to sleep on the grass before my jujutsu class. Got bit by some bugs once, but honestly, the worst problem was trying to find a spot without goose poop.
The monkey paw curls: all insects and other “bugs” are gone now, the food chain collapses bottom up and the human race is just about extinct within 10 years.
Don’t ‘monkey’s paw’ comments usually have a negative?
the capybaras are dead :c
Depends on the monkey
That’s optimistic…
I upvoted this before I saw what community it was in. Now I wish I could upvote twice.
Upvoted you since I can’t upvote the post twice
It’s kind of funny how cyclical the solution is here. Compute needs power. That power is driving climate change. Which kills the bugs which kills the humans which prevents any more bugs from being created.
Thank you for reading my Black mirror fanfic brought to you by noctua.
Bugs will outlast
The only caveat is that at some point we will likely start farming insects as a food source. They require way less resources to produce than animal protein, and are actually pretty healthy (and tasty if cooked right)
People might be grossed out, but shellfish is basically just ocean insects and many of us love that shit.
I used to hate shellfish
but now I hate shellfish with righteous indignation.
Gets mauled by a bear.
Northern Norway doesn’t have tics, snakes, or bears. Worst thing that could happen is getting gnawed on by a lemming.
… or a Norwegian
That does happen TBF.

They do have mosquitos.
What could be less harmful to humans than mosquitoes?
One can dream…
Me if ticks didn’t exist.
I used lay directly in the grass without a care in the world.
I wouldn’t mind them if they didn’t carry/transmit those awful diseases.
And allergies
My sinuses sealed shut from this picture.
I’d be fine if it was just biting mosquitoes that disappeared.
Image is accurate, since without bugs, the food chain collapses and takes society with it, and the survivors will have to migrate to rural areas that can support a hunter-gatherer lifrstyle.
I already do this on occasion, there is usually just several inches of snow on the ground when I do.
I slept outside once as a kid and ended up with massive mosquito bites all over my body.
Yes, happily unemployed 😊
I itch just looking at these.
Yeah, sadly gras is still plenty itchy
I get the importance of bugs, but why do they gotta be such annoying assholes.
If a deity exists, he probably says the same thing about humans. Both are annoying to a more advanced being for similar reasons.
