We’re working on it.
I don’t mind bees. It’s the ones that bite you for no reason at all that I can’t stand.
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.
I enjoy and appreciate nature in nearly all its forms. Even mosquitos just tryna live, they’re born required to bite somebody 🤷♂️
Fuck the Canada goose.
Fuck em as a group, fuck their whole flocks, fuck a flying V of Canada geese. Fuck em as an entire grand, branching lineage of this strange fractal miracle we call life, get rid of the Canada goose and our timeline returns to the more harmonious path it had been on before everything stopped making sense.
Canada is cool, fuck that goose tho.
Ahahah why tho?
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.
I would say It’s not really the loss of bugs in general that cause the food chain to collapse, but the loss of pollinating insects specifically that really causes problems.
You’re definitively forgetting about other important insects for agriculture such as worms
Worms aren’t insects, but I agree they are definitely important
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.
If pollinators weren’t necessary, human food wouldn’t be affected too much. But given we eat plants (and the animals we eat eat plants) hunter-gathering would have the same problem as just continuing farming. Can’t gather if there are no plants, can’t hunt if the prey starved to death.
Yes, happily unemployed 😊
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.
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.
They know they are important, so they be assholes knowing we can’t do anything about it
If a deity exists, he probably says the same thing about humans. Both are annoying to a more advanced being for similar reasons.
