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

well then what would they feed off

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.

But they must also leave me alone.

give respect to get respect, simple as that
