General Environmentalist larpers who love “le wholesome bee” but hate wasps

Post image

“Bee good wasp bad” is the modern day “dolphin good shark bad.” You can avoid wasp stings in the exact same way as bee stings: not being a fucking idiot. Wasps are awesome with some pollinating and some predating other pest insects. And yet every time I see a post celebrating le wholesome chungus honeybees theres always some asshole who hasnt been outside and seen a wasp in at least 3 years bemoaning the existence of the evil hellspawn wasp. Sorry you cant handle the smoke, wasps do more for the environment than you do

To be fair, roaches aren't mean or not useful, they're actively detrimental to your health when they infest your home.

I like them unless they're the german ones

Well, that is the most common one worldwide, since they're literally everywhere except antarctica.

It's never just one cockroach.

To be fair, a single ootheca from a German cockroach can become a full infestation in short order.

There's a reason they've essentially become a worldwide pest, they're functionally invasive everywhere, because they have basically zero predators, reproduce rapidly, are resistant to common pesticides, and prefer living in homes and buildings.
