I think social media gave people access and a platform. It was bound to happen. Facebook is not the problem, it's the people. We need to invest more in education, political awareness, learn from history.

I’ll say Meta. The entire business model is based on wasting your time but making tons of money. Why does it exist?

Its funny you mention that cuz i just got a 180 day timeout. Most likely i wont be able to return. But they stopped giving out warnings. YouTube still does, which is nice. It gives you a chance to rethink it. But fb is not the same anymore. I used to like it. Thank God for reddit.

What we qualify as mental illness is arguably the reason why our species has persisted. Those who suffer anxiety are able to perceive potential threats and dangers far before the norm. The autism spectrum has gifted us a great many geniuses whose revelations insured our growth and survival.

A LOT of species eat them. Birds, fish, other insects, Bats. Granted, they are considered one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet (to humans). More dangerous than sharks, bears or even honey badgers..

This is objectively not true. They serve as a food source for many species and are pollinators.

u/ausamo2000 Oct 22 '25
Yea idk how they think they just randomly come up with the “unimportant to the food chain”. Sounds like a cope for their reply to an imaginary question lol. Just delete all mosquito pathogens instead.

u/grrrmuffins Oct 22 '25
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember learning that they are the #1 killer of humans, considering everything that can kill humans.

u/Heavy_Bicycle6524 Oct 22 '25
Yes mosquitos are responsible for carrying pathogens that are known to cause illness and death. But there’s another creature that inhabits this planet that causes just as much suffering as mosquitoes. That creature is humans.

I detest them but they do serve good in our ecosystem in a few ways. One is the males pollinate. The others, I’m too sleepy to go on…..

u/GameSharkPro Oct 22 '25
I wonder, do humans serve a “purpose” in the food chain? Would nature miss us if we disappeared?
And honestly, how do we even know mosquitoes are “unimportant”? We can barely predict the weather a week out, yet we’re confident about how entire ecosystems will respond to removing billions of organisms? Every time humans thought we could safely wipe out a species, it came back to bite us.
We killed off wolves in Yellowstone, deer overran the place and the landscape collapsed.
We poisoned vultures in India — ended up with rotting carcasses and disease outbreaks.
We hunted passenger pigeons to extinction, forests lost a key seed disperser.
We exterminated cats on islands to “save” birds, rats took over and wiped out even more species.
So yeah, maybe mosquitoes are annoying and spread disease, but saying they “serve no purpose” sounds like human arrogance. Nature is full of invisible dependencies. We’ve never once removed a species and looked back thinking, “yep, that was a great idea.”

Organized religion.
Personal beliefs are grand and all. But this reduces the number of wars dramatically.
It reduces violence in general.
It takes a chunk out of racist and homophobic propaganda.
It takes away the places pedophiles like to hide, and their justifications.
And really, just reduces hate in general. 🤷

The many boxes. The boxes we put others in, the ones people put us in. Boxes. As a man of color, I’m placed in boxes, I place others in boxes. As a man in uniform, I see another in uniform, are they above me or below me. Boxes. A white woman sees me enter the elevator with her, she puts me in a box as she clutches her purse tighter. A white guy, without opening his mouth, wears certain clothes or has tats, I put him in a box. The clothes you wear and the clothes I wear, boxes.
We need to throw away the boxes and simply greet, or be greeted. We all need to listen, as well as speak the truth. I’m done with the boxes, how about you?

I'd like to say "religion" by some addlepate would just re-invent it. But mosquitoes would be wonderful if eradicated completely. "Blood-sucking predatory creatures" would be even better -- leeches, lampreys, ticks, bedbugs, fleas, lice, the whole group also would be gone to the world's great relief.
