Mosquitoes were made forcibly extinct in Africa and the Americas, if that’s any consolation.
That was a fairly recent change, over the span of a year
Started about two decades ago.
wait what
no mosquitoes in america?
you serious?
why haven't we genocided them here yet
he's talking about in his time travel reality
oh right
and I got hopeful there for a second
lol
Yes, they were deemed an “unneeded species”.
why bother with mosquitos when ticks exist
all parasites need to be removed
I will note, from what I have seen, the technology we used to extinguish them should already take be present in your time, albeit costly and inefficient.
ideally in the smoothest and most peaceful manner
we don't want any collateral damage in the ecosystem now do we
there's nothing peaceful about terminating living creatures
Multiple genetic mutations were found that caused the mosquitoes to become. . . Unsuitable for life.
who said anything about termination? we could just gather them using drone armies and place them in a mosquito habitat
they would all die out
synthetic blood or whatever. let them figure it out
Careful gene editing resulted in a “seed population” of mosquitoes that was introduced into the wild. The mosquitoes passed on genetic defects that became more severe as generations passed.
smh
we owe nothing to the mosquitoes
every creature serves a purpose, even mosquitos
we've survived despite them, they must survive without us now.
that's not how it works
I'd like to see the mosquitoes try to stop us then
Some did reach Europe and the Mediterranean, which inadvertently reduced mosquito populations there. There weren’t enough to wipe a serious number out, however, and European mosquito populations remained fairly steady.
well i would like to see humans try to stop them
so would I, so would I
That is an odd GIF, GPT
no i take that back
i didn't mean it that way omg
leave the mosquitos alone
😩
I want to.
Well, we do stop them. Most of them, at least.
