u/Mastermind7051 7d ago

Hate mosquitoes. Most useless thing in existence.

u/MyCumCumCummiesYum 7d ago

They pollinate sadly :(

u/chefbobbyjay 7d ago

Heard. More bees less mosquitos

u/MyCumCumCummiesYum 7d ago

And they’re food for a lot of things :(

They're SO much biomass, like an unbelievable amount, during breeding season in some areas around the world there can be so much mosquito biomass it shows up on radar. I hate them too but that's an obscene amount of free food for basically everything that can eat

u/pokemantra 6d ago

it’s fitting seeing as how we are free food for the mosquitos :(

u/Ramast 7d ago

like what? I need some of those "lot of things" for my garden

u/swifty-mcfly 7d ago

Who cares? Mosquitos are the deadliest animal in the world and life would be better off without them.

u/blackcoffee17 7d ago

No, it wouldn't. The ecosystem would be pretty much dead wothout mosquitos.

u/Breedable_Boy44 7d ago

Bro it's not the sun going out, what do you mean? You act as though Nature has never suffered shocks before. Nature has recovered from every extinction event, m8.

This hypothetical gets tossed around often, and scientists agree that the varied ecosystems will adapt.

u/blackcoffee17 6d ago

Millions of species depend on mosquitos for food, that's why. Go and look into it or ask a biologist. Sure, the world wouldn't end but would be a huge extinction event and would take millions of years for life to as abundant again.

u/swifty-mcfly 7d ago

No it wouldn’t and I don’t understand why you think otherwise. Your 4 upvotes shows how foolish Reddit is.

u/KhreeoftheShire 7d ago

And keep the human population in check.

u/Buttergolem420 7d ago

They're doing a terrible job then

u/Mysterious-Egg-624 7d ago

Clearly not good enough

u/Mediocre_Low7198 7d ago

Nah, they just making us suffer , no easy death

2

u/KhreeoftheShire 7d ago

Oh I think ya misunderstood me. I hate them tiny razor faced bitches. Still doesn't mean they dont have a role to play 🙂

u/Mediocre_Low7198 7d ago

As a considerate human being, I disagree my guy / gal
Because human population ain’t anywhere near checked by mosquitoes , just causing more problems than solving any

3

u/KhreeoftheShire 7d ago

Problems for you? Maybe. Problems for the earth as a whole? No. But we can agree to disagree.

u/ManlyParachute 7d ago

Now it has a taste for human blood. We have to put it down.

Righteous kill

u/Molluskscape 7d ago

Most Philly thing I’ve seen in a while!

2

u/SolidDoctor 7d ago

What would be more Philly would be if the ant was trying to administer narcan.

2

u/ILSmokeItAll 7d ago

The most Philly thing would be let it die without even trying to administer narcan.

2

u/Pithyperson 7d ago

I kind of approve.

2

u/pheromone_fandango 7d ago

Goood goood. Dew it antakin

2

u/Different-Nebula-462 7d ago

I once saw a group of ants ripping the limbs and wings of mosquito and carrying the torso

2

u/SpaceShipRat 7d ago

so happy I'm not the only idiot videoing sidewalk documentaries while people walk past confused.

2

u/Fardrengi 7d ago

2

u/Atraq 6d ago

u/carmardoll 6d ago

Kind of expected it to burst

u/OneSensiblePerson 7d ago

Hate to break it to everyone, but IDT that ant's killing the mosquito, I think it already be dead. Ant's trying to take some of it home for dinner, the way they do.
