    Things that are not bugs:

    • snails/slugs
    • rats/mice
    • other insects that are not bugs
    • poop of any state and origin
    • thugs

    It’s kind of funny how cyclical the solution is here. Compute needs power. That power is driving climate change. Which kills the bugs which kills the humans which prevents any more bugs from being created.

    Thank you for reading my Black mirror fanfic brought to you by noctua.

      The only caveat is that at some point we will likely start farming insects as a food source. They require way less resources to produce than animal protein, and are actually pretty healthy (and tasty if cooked right)

      People might be grossed out, but shellfish is basically just ocean insects and many of us love that shit.

    I used to sleep on the grass before my jujutsu class. Got bit by some bugs once, but honestly, the worst problem was trying to find a spot without goose poop.

          Regrettably. But it’s more of an unending torment situation than a life threatening situation. And they don’t harass you on the beach or on the mountains, just in the forest. And let’s face it, if you’re doing anything with your summer other than sitting in a boat with a fishing line, you’re doing it wrong.

          The sea Sami had the right idea. Spend the summer fishing on the sea and spend the winter hunting in the forest. A lifestyle I intend to resurrect once I retire.

      If a deity exists, he probably says the same thing about humans. Both are annoying to a more advanced being for similar reasons.

    I already do this on occasion, there is usually just several inches of snow on the ground when I do.
