The bees are not extinct
We did save them
wow socrates
They’re quite rare now, though
bees are really annoying
insects in general
?????
looking forward to the time when we can remove them without destroying the ecosystem
Insects don’t really affect me at all.
bees aren't annoying they're little helpers
until they sting you because they are too stupid to realize you are not a threat
bees rarely sting you
rarely is not good enough
it's wasps that are stinging everyone
bees are less problematic than people
wasps need to go too
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
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
