    Image is accurate, since without bugs, the food chain collapses and takes society with it, and the survivors will have to migrate to rural areas that can support a hunter-gatherer lifrstyle.

    If pollinators weren't necessary, human food wouldn't be affected too much. But given we eat plants (and the animals we eat eat plants) hunter-gathering would have the same problem as just continuing farming. Can't gather if there are no plants, can't hunt if the prey starved to death.

      I don't mind bees. It's the ones that bite you for no reason at all that I can't stand.

        I would say It's not really the loss of bugs in general that cause the food chain to collapse, but the loss of pollinating insects specifically that really causes problems.

        You're definitively forgetting about other important insects for agriculture such as worms

          Worms aren't insects, but I agree they are definitely important

                What could be less harmful to humans than mosquitoes?

                Mosquitos cause by far the most deaths of humans every year of any animal. So pretty much anything.

                  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.

                    I enjoy and appreciate nature in nearly all its forms. Even mosquitos just tryna live, they're born required to bite somebody 🤷‍♂️

                    Fuck the Canada goose.

                    Fuck em as a group, fuck their whole flocks, fuck a flying V of Canada geese. Fuck em as an entire grand, branching lineage of this strange fractal miracle we call life, get rid of the Canada goose and our timeline returns to the more harmonious path it had been on before everything stopped making sense.

                    Canada is cool, fuck that goose tho.

                        Eh, grass would be fine, and cows eat grass.

                        The snails would get out of hand probably tho

                            Nah fuck mosquitos, specifically the genus that sucks blood, which is a subsect. They don't even add to an ecosystem and its been widely theorized they could be wiped out without environmental harm, but only benefit.

                            Death to biting mosquitos.

                              Bees and butterflies don't pollinate all by themselves, FYI. Things that bite/sting also do a lot of pollination work! Flies, wasps, etc

                                Exactly. I'd like to see OP's reaction if a giant would crush his house and maybe even his loved ones.

                                          You need to meet it's bigger brother, the swan.

                                          Where I live we get white swans, Canadian geese, and Egyptian geese. Egyptian are smaller and absolutely fine. Canadian will get angry and tell you to fuck off Swans are 50% bigger and will run you out of the county.
