    Uninformed take. First of, we are working on killing off only a few, malaria carrying Mosquito species in certain regions. Whatever niche they leave will be filled by another, possibly native species of Mosquito.

    2nd, nutrient transfer my butt, they carry like 1ml and that’s mostly water. You definitely transfer more nutrients by having some ants in your compost bin.

    I couldn’t find estimates for snakes and scorpions and completely ignored the invertebrates here, but from those options, Tigers kill the most humans yearly per wild individual.

    There are about 5500 Tigers in the wild killing 50 humans yearly, while 115000 Hippos kill 500 humans yearly.

    So Tigers kill 9 humans per thousand individuals, Hippos kill 4, next would be Lions with 2.5 .

    Maybe they are the more deadly than Tigers on a per species basis since there are only 2 species of Hippo while 6 living species of Tigers exist… but then the other kill statistics would get a lot more precise as well. And I wont even try to analyze how often humans interact with specific animal groups.

    Even if you added “for it’s meat” at the end there, I have killed and eaten fish.

    But the way you said it, who hasn’t swatted a fly or mosquito? Not to mention the skin mites and fruit flies you consume daily.



  • I am all for mentioning his conviction in the 1st sentence, but the crowd saying it should go into the 2nd sentence make some good points.

    Barely anyone gets to have “convicted felon” in their lead sentence. Firstly, it is poor style unless the person is only known because they did a crime, secondly, convicted felon can mean a lot of thing and should be specified. “Convicted of falsifying business records” is just so much more specific, and can later be added with “and election interference”.

    In any case, while the discussion is ongoing it has been included in a 2nd sentence, and the editors supporting to move it to first sentence seem to be the majority. If only more of them would read the whole discussion, instead of just saying “Support due to being established fact”.
