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.
Eh, grass would be fine, and cows eat grass.
The snails would get out of hand probably tho
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.
I itch just looking at these.
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
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.
That’s optimistic…
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
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
me if hayfever didn’t exist:
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?
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.
We’re working on it.
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.
They know they are important, so they be assholes knowing we can’t do anything about it
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
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 slept outside once as a kid and ended up with massive mosquito bites all over my body.
I already do this on occasion, there is usually just several inches of snow on the ground when I do.
Yes, happily unemployed 😊
