We’re working on it.
80% of our bugs will be replaced by AI by the year 2026
Don’t worry, AI will reintroduce those bugs into our software to live on there
Yeah if bugs didn’t exist I’d be homeless too
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.
Please don’t fuck the geese
Nah fuck mosquitos, specifically the genus that sucks blood, which is a subsect. They don’t even add to an ecosystem and its been widely theorized they could be wiped out without environmental harm, but only benefit.
Death to biting mosquitos.
What a out ticks?
Sounds like a certain lake troll is agitating to improve his lake-dwelling experience, if ya ask me.
You need to meet it’s bigger brother, the swan.
Where I live we get white swans, Canadian geese, and Egyptian geese. Egyptian are smaller and absolutely fine. Canadian will get angry and tell you to fuck off Swans are 50% bigger and will run you out of the county.
Ahahah why tho?
nah, that’s a insect shield.
Things that are not bugs:
- snails/slugs
- rats/mice
- other insects that are not bugs
- poop of any state and origin
- thugs
me if hayfever didn’t exist:
If you hate bugs so much why not cover yourself with DDT
I don’t mind bees. It’s the ones that bite you for no reason at all that I can’t stand.
Bite you for no reason?! You’re the one crushing their home and messing everything up!
Exactly. I’d like to see OP’s reaction if a giant would crush his house and maybe even his loved ones.
Little Fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?For I dance
And drink, and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.If thought is life
And strength and breath
And the want
Of thought is death;Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.- poem by William Blake
It makes you realize why we want to destroy the world so easily when we only ever see the world as being convenient for us only and not for all life no matter what shape or form it comes in.
Bees and butterflies don’t pollinate all by themselves, FYI. Things that bite/sting also do a lot of pollination work! Flies, wasps, etc
mosquitoes can fuck right off. the rest stays.
Actually mosquitos help as well, they are a food source for many other insects and animals. It’s just a food chain (and you are at the bottom… with that sweet, sweet blood)
I remember reading a long time ago that most insects are a very protein dense food source … beef when looking at the whole cow is about 50%-60% protein overall … while an insect is about 90% protein.
if you’re not concerned about the texture crickets taste almost exacly like peanuts
Without mosquitoes many birds and bats (also both great pollinators) would die out :(
funny how well this fits for both meanings
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.
Shrimps is bugs
They good 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?
Everything else dies too.
Extremophiles: “Are we a joke to you?”
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
Upvoting this whole chain because I can’t multi-upvote OP too
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.
They do have mosquitos.
Regrettably. But it’s more of an unending torment situation than a life threatening situation. And they don’t harass you on the beach or on the mountains, just in the forest. And let’s face it, if you’re doing anything with your summer other than sitting in a boat with a fishing line, you’re doing it wrong.
The sea Sami had the right idea. Spend the summer fishing on the sea and spend the winter hunting in the forest. A lifestyle I intend to resurrect once I retire.
What could be less harmful to humans than mosquitoes?
Mosquitos cause by far the most deaths of humans every year of any animal. So pretty much anything.
… or a Norwegian
That does happen TBF.

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 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.
