Why do the rhinos have to go extinct. Why cant these fuckers have black market value instead?

*microscopic slurping*

hahaha my thoughts exactly
CountessDyscalculia
I could hear the sound of a slurping straw.
Kightzeareau
This is why is I like winter. Mosquitos don't do well in cold.

It looks as accurate as the last lady to stick me when I donated blood...
Junktrunkjunkie
I donated platelets yesterday. It's always a risk cause they have to stick both arms for that. then you gotta hold really still for 1 hr.

STOP PROBING MY INSIDES TINY ALIENS!!!!!
GodDamnedImmigrant
No one is alien. They own this planet. And you are a food. All fair.
GreedyJungle
I’m gonna make them the food. Fuck it. Everyone start eating mosquitos.

This is really interesting, dude. I'm cringing, but can't stop looking. Thanks :)

My ankle itches just watching this
damm1t1mmad
That is, specific
DancingPanther
Because mosquitoes love to bite me specifically, and almost exclusively, on my ankles.
entropyk
I'm exactly the same. I know I must get 'bitten' in other places, in fact I'm sure I 'mushed' them elsewhere, but my ankles-OUCH-! Itches!
PersephoneIsNotHome
Do you want malaria? Because that's how you get malaria

Spiders are the devil but religion can not contemplate an evil such as the mosquito.
bluesymuse
Mosquitos are the main reason that we still have any rain forest left.
DrakeASnake
Could you explain?

People don't go in there bcause ouch

SadieMuffins
This is almost certainly slowed down. I bet this all happened within a second.
MotionOfTheOcean
I have watched a mosquito on my hand and it does go back and forth a while. If it is slowed down, not by much! Look next time yourself.

Stop stealing my blood
SomeDetroitGuy
Mosquitos kill more humans than any other animal - including other humans.
Paparelo
i dont belive that they do more than humans
Cheomesh
A modified version of them will probably be the weapon we use for population culls in the future.
AShadyZebra
Yeah... no. That idea is bad for so many reasons.
bendover10
Bring back DDT!
EnglishPolice
Build that net!
MerToo
If we could just get mosquito nets to all the Africans we could annually save millions of mosquitos from getting AIDS...
mrread55
Build the net! Build the net!

We should build a wall and make the mosquitos pay for it!

Hmm, it doesn't say how deaths to "humans" are calculated. And, yes, I checked their sources.
blockatiel
thanks!
Mangomancer
There is a plan and idea to create a medicine that makes your blood toxic against mosquitos
RankaMarx
Ma-ma-Malaria!
bendover10
Technically, mosquitos aren't animals. Technically.
ericstocker
Ban mosquitoes!
o4kill
It's called draining the swamps and the government made it illegal. It could save millions of lives.
againchina
Get this, we found out a way to mod the mosquito gene to make females sterile thus wiping out the mosquito/malaria problem all together but1
againchina
They won’t allow it to be implemented because of some ecological imbalance!!! Yet malaria still kills more people than anything else ever!!!
ErikVikingGodOfRock
It's called DDT and the government made it illegal. It could save millions of lives.
CC2332
Doesn't it cause massive birth defects or am I thinking of something else?
o4kill
Birth defects in birds maybe.
GUVMENTCHEEZE63
Yes. Gets into the water system, fucks up people. Almost made the bald eagle extinct because it thins their egg shells
SkippedOver
Toxic to consume (problematic given it was for agriculture and for later reasons in this comment chain), causes egg defects in birds, 1/?
SkippedOver
chemically anticipated to be cancer causing but little experimental proof. Also it can last 22 days ~ 30 years in the environment, 2/?

ZorkFox
Fair enough.
SatoriEnlightenment
Cool.
BlueIsMyFavoriteFlavor
Why have we not declared war on these menaces?!
dunnojustletmein
We can't kill them all. They're extremely important for pollination and are a food source for many birds and fish.
Sheldonian
We have, we're still losing
RamblingClam
In SWFL it's like fucking Vietnam sometimes with the helicopters they use to spray for them
BlueIsMyFavoriteFlavor
We spray here in MA, too; it’s barely a war of attrition, though. Can’t go out after 5pm without netting or a thick coat of DEET.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
Why have we not hijacked these motherfuckers to give medicine n shit?
Assdickmasterpiece
They don't have oil REEEEEE
uffda0
We need to release the sterile males! Like they did in Florida and Cali. So they mate and lay eggs that don’t hatch
djsdkdjsk
At first, I thought the males would have sex with other males and lay eggs somehow, was confused
AnythingMuchShorter
Releasing weak impotent males? Wait a second, and are the rest of you trying to kill off tech workers!?
jamesMemeMonster
We did, then Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring. The overreaction got DDT banned.
Sheldonian
DDT is awful for the environment and health. Who says there was an overreaction?
ErikVikingGodOfRock
It pains me how many millions of preventable deaths could have been avoided with DDT.

ElbowDeepInAdog
we are overpopulated anyway so more deaths are welcome
devileddog
And the fact that this bastard does this in milliseconds before I try tit slap the shit out of it.
Youbuttonhole
A tit slap to hit a mosquito? Is that more effective? Video needed
Greatwood
Maybe try slapping with your hand instead of your tits

They're out. Winter is over. The Itching begins.

Malaria has killed more people than anything else ever has in the whole history of human kind!

NO MY RINGS!
KentuckyFriedChildren
Actually, *this bitch* is the proper vernacular - only the females subsist on blood.
thewarinvietfuckingnam
Didn’t know females can’t be bastards actually
SatoriEnlightenment
Wait. Was this slowed down?
vulturedoors
Almost certainly.
wa27
It doesn't happen in milliseconds. If the mosquito doesn't find a vein, it still "bit" you and will itch.

SatoriEnlightenment
Brilliant. Thanks.
DeezN00tz
Try to remember your last mosquito-bite... did it take that long?
WiqidBritt
Mosquitoes numb you when they bite. It's hard to say how long it takes unless you watch it land on you.
dmd3eorg
Yes, 5000x
SatoriEnlightenment
Are you making that up?
dmd3eorg
No
RagingAsian
yes, 5000x
DickSamurai
No it wasn't.
SatoriEnlightenment
I’m getting different answers. Any additional clues?
DrBojangles
Quite possibly.
PCMASTERRACE6969
I don't really know anything, but it probably was slowed down. People don't let mosquitos take their time like this GIF
WiqidBritt
Mosquitoes can inject a numbing agent into your skin so you don't feel the bite. By the time you feel them they've been on you for a while.
ZaWithDude
I am gonna take a stab in the dark and say they purposely let it take their time. and despite the numbing agent guy everywhere, you can
Shplintt
The trick is to let it sit there for a while before you do, gives it less time to retract it's needle. You know it started the process>
Shplintt
of looking for a vein when it's hind legs are up.
HmmICantThinkOfACleverUsernameRightNow
So making 100 % sure it has time to bite you and leave its itchy saliva?
Shplintt
Well if your goal is to kill the mosquito, yes. This stuff takes sacrifice. I mean you get rid of the saliva source in exchange for one bite
buggme
>Followed instructions. >Now have ebola.
Shplintt
It's a small sacrifice for a greater cause. Kill mosquito - get aids.
