funny how well this fits for both meanings
I don't mind bees. It's the ones that bite you for no reason at all that I can't stand.
Bite you for no reason?! You're the one crushing their home and messing everything up!
Exactly. I'd like to see OP's reaction if a giant would crush his house and maybe even his loved ones.

Bees and butterflies don't pollinate all by themselves, FYI. Things that bite/sting also do a lot of pollination work! Flies, wasps, etc

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.

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
Depends on the monkey
That's optimistic...

We're working on it.
I upvoted this before I saw what community it was in. Now I wish I could upvote twice.
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.
One can dream…
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.
Technically those images would be bare land and dried out rock without insects.
You wouldn't believe how dead everything would be without insects.
Humans would have an extinction level event if suddenly all bugs were gone.
OP IS TRYING TO KILL US ALL!

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.

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.

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.
They know they are important, so they be assholes knowing we can't do anything about it
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.
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.
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.

German has a word for it: Insektensterben
Yes, happily unemployed 😊
I already do this on occasion, there is usually just several inches of snow on the ground when I do.
