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.
Don’t ‘monkey’s paw’ comments usually have a negative?
the capybaras are dead :c
Everything else dies too.
Extremophiles: “Are we a joke to you?”
Depends on the monkey
That’s optimistic…
We’re working on it.
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.
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.
One can dream…
Me if ticks didn’t exist.
I used lay directly in the grass without a care in the world.
And allergies
My sinuses sealed shut from this picture.
I wouldn’t mind them if they didn’t carry/transmit those awful diseases.
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.
Ahahah why tho?
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 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.
I’d be fine if it was just biting mosquitoes that disappeared.
German has a word for it: Insektensterben
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.
Eh, grass would be fine, and cows eat grass.
The snails would get out of hand probably tho
I already do this on occasion, there is usually just several inches of snow on the ground when I do.
Yes, happily unemployed 😊
