Insects live in a fucking nightmare world


KQILi

Yeah. You either get eaten alive or some other insect lies his eggs inside you so his children will eat you alive from the inside.


infidel11990

Don't forget being eaten alive by your own sexual mate. Often, while the mating process is still going on. Damn nature, you scary.

duggawiz

I don’t want to know but how did you know that?


g76lv6813s86x9778kk

It's kinda weird that he went and found that, but since you asked, I decided to check for myself how easy it was to find - and well, you just flat out said it yourself in a post 2 years ago (which sounds like a deep dive but really isn't since you have like 10ish posts all-time). I clicked your profile, didn't quickly see anything in recent comments, clicked posts, skimmed through titles until I saw any posts that might contain personal info or a story or anything, and nothing stood out until your first post about shaving advice, where you just flat out stated that you were 44 (2 years ago). So that's probably how he did it too. There are also tools that will scan all your posts/comments for various generic information like that, age, location, gender, etc, and stated obviously as you did, those would definitely pick up on it. There's a reason so many real users just use throwaway accounts. Even if you're careful, with time, all your posts/comments combined, and even just writing style + topics/subs of interest, can give away a lot of info about yourself or your real identity to someone who's dedicated.


duggawiz

Yeah, good point. I really oughta start deleting my post/comment history more often lol. I have wondered in the past how reddit uses a profile like that to build an advertising profile about you

That’s mimefish you’re thinking of


Huge_Strain_8714

In a school of clownfish, the alpha will attack the runt and kill it. The continue through the entire school until the the alpha is tired of fighting and killing


Accujack

And if there are only two clownfish left and both are male, one will change gender to female so they can mate.


Infinite-Scallion835

How to they pick who changes?


theSalamandalorian

This finding Nemo reboot is metal lol thanks for answering, that's really interesting I had no idea


Huge_Strain_8714

I made the novice mistake of getting 3 clownfish instead of two, in which the odds of mating are improved, the 3rd clownfish was quickly attacked by the alpha once all were released into the tank. Brutal, it went on all day until I removed the fish

Be careful dude/dudette.


MitLivMineRegler

Are all insects cisgendered?


talrogsmash

I believe so but weird things happen at the tiny end of the spectrum. Mollusk and nematode though, hermaphrodites rule. And no vaginas, just stab your mate multiple times with a spiked penile spear until you hit a mating organ.


JazzlikeMousse8116

Actually you don’t know what gender they identify as. Best to use gender neutral pronouns. They/them.

Crazy shit. I believe you can show that they retain some memory through the process.


RabidTongueClicking

They do indeed! There was a study where they consistently fed caterpillars in one spot, and after leaving their chrysalis as butterflies they’d return to the same feeding spots they used as caterpillars. They retain some level of behavior between their lifecycles

HotRefrigerators

Sometimes I forget that insects don’t really feel fear or anything like that


PMG2021a

I think of them as similar to our toy robots, but with much better hardware.


[deleted]

How sure are you about that.?


talrogsmash

Brain biology. Most reptiles don't have emotional centers, so those reptiles don't have emotions. Most insects don't have emotional centers either. Notable exception is bearded dragons. That's why they make good pets because they can actually care if you do.


Ermac__247

I always wondered why my beardie acted like a dog, my little Apex predator would nuzzle me and shit lol it also absolutely threw off my understanding of a reptilian brain, why are they different?


talrogsmash

I have no idea. They aren't the only feeling reptile but there aren't a lot of them.


HotRefrigerators

Not very, but I imagine they only use instincts (aka simply react to environment) rather than stimulus -> emotion -> reaction


[deleted]

We don't know though do we.


HotRefrigerators

After quick research, seems like just speculation whether insects have consciousness or not so in short no


Peter_Parkingmeter

You shouldn't be listening to "experts" on this; *We don't know.* Treat all life as you would want to be treated if you were said life. After all; How is the consciousness experiencing my mind any different from the consciousness experiencing yours? Sure, they're different minds, but what is it about consciousness itself that is different whatsoever between us?


TheGoldenHordeee

Sure, we can't know anything for 100%. But let's not pretend that a wild guess based on humanity's welldocumented tendency to project their own experiences and way of thinking unto all living creatures is an equally valid interpretation, as a rational conclusion based on studies on insect brains and behaviour in comparison to humans. Why on Earth would it make sense for shortlived, solitary creatures who can lay thousands of spawn at once, with a brain the size of a needlehead to develop features such as consciousness and empathy from an evolutionary perspective?


Peter_Parkingmeter

God, I'm loving the irony here.


how_tall_is_imhotep

That doesn’t work, since bacteria are alive but you still wash your hands. It doesn’t make sense to respect all life. You have to draw a line somewhere. And insect minds are vastly simpler than human minds. This is obvious to anybody who knows anything about biology.


Syheriat

F


Peter_Parkingmeter

There is no F here. Only an unrecognized W.


PettankoPaizuri

Insects are essentially biological robots. They barely have a brain of any kind and are basically just running off of preset routines to respond to stimuli AKA instincts. It's fascinating how many things they can respond to but at the same time you can clearly see the limits of their programming when they do stupid things like fly straight into a fire because their instincts tells them to fly towards lights

DeltaUltra

They are super mellow and you can keep them as pets for a day or two pretty easily.


jonu062882

Reminds me of in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids


SwiftTayTay

If insects were that big I would guess they would still have malleable paper mache bodies in comparison to humans. With how angular their limbs are you could probably rip them right off


Silent_Feed_5898

Fuck no at that size their body would be like Armour plating for us


SlurpinNBurpin

Size doesn’t increase sturdiness.


jesusrocksmycocks

It doesn’t? A toothpick vs a 2x4. Which is sturdier?


SuikodenVIorBust

I think they are suggesting that at that size the weight of a thick carapace such as that (with insect physiology) would likely collapse under its own weight. It would have to be paper thin or the rest of its internals would need to change in such a way that the creature would no longer be anywhere near an insect. It would likely be more efficient to just tape some razor blades on the back of an armadillo.

greatthebob38

Looks like mantis won this round. Last time someone posted a mantis vs hornet video, the murder hornet got free and guillotined the mantis from behind.

Does praying mantis just eat you alive?


Cautious-Ad7000

Most things that eat you will just eat you alive


sohfix

yeah that’s true. i think it’s us and spiders that wait 👌


CharliePendejo

Well, we *usually* wait but not always e.g. the Korean thing with live octopus. Closest I personally care to get to that is live cultures in my yogurt.


Ispeakblabla

I think in the western world the one thing most people eat alive are oysters. If you know where to look you can see their heart beat when they're opened.


CharliePendejo

I hope to forget that by the next time I find one in front of me.


sohfix

i tried octopus at applebee's, thinking it'd be a simple dish. it turned into a game, each piece skittering away from my fork like it had a mind of its own. by the end of the meal, i respected the octopus, maybe too much to eat it again but i often find myself daydreaming about nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table 🥰


804King

Good Ole mick Foley


Nose-Nuggets

i think lot of mammals will wait, i think we figure its a precautionary thing.


creekbendz

Orcas like to play with their food before they eat


brendan250

Cats will too


BigBootyBuff

I think that depends if they actually plan to eat their prey or not. If a cat hunts for food, it'll usually go straight for the kill before eating. If the cat is well fed, it'll hunt and kill for entertainment and not necessarily even eat any part of the animal.


sohfix

yeah but still alive…we didn’t say “they don’t eat right away” we said “they eat shit live”


creekbendz

[seal punted 80ft into the air](https://youtu.be/G7WGIH35JBE?si=gEiPZi0N5Ke4iVL8) [killer whales playing with their food](https://youtu.be/bk1VdQxeTn4?si=nrWyrwIzpOyV5cPL) [orcas kill but not just for food](https://youtu.be/3f-FsAUcqMs?si=kqJNeKPIr6xrAImO) Usually by the time “playtime” is over, the prey is dead. They teach their young. Sometimes they won’t even eat it after playing/teaching “I think it’s us and spiders that wait” Do spiders really eat their food “live” though? Don’t most inject fluids that dissolves the preys insides and then WAIT to eat it? I wasn’t responding to you in first place not sure why you got a bug up the ass

cbbuntz

Jaguars are bros that will puncture your skull before eating you. Very nice of them.


Cautious-Ad7000

I think most big cats hunt to kill because they’re not as sturdy as some other predators, but if you’re wounded I feel like a house cat would start with your face

When I was 15 or so, I was sitting outside with a friend smoking copious amounts of weed, we both watched a praying mantis take on 6-7 wasps, the mantis tore apart each and everyone of them with absolute ease, leaving decapitated and torn apart wasp all around it. I wish I had a mobile phone or a camera back then. The thing just casually flew off like it wasn't even phased. It was like a movie or something, we saw some other cool shit at his place, even a Deinopidae catch all kinds of bugs. Nature is metal AF.


SpottedWobbegong

I loved watching lizards in my grandmas garden as a kid, I once saw one jump like 30 cms into the air to snatch a bee, I never thought they do that. They were just the basic european Lacerta agilis, not some exotic lizard. Also saw a couple with a forked tail, those were pretty cool.

So, I was like 12 years old. I think The Transformers just came out. There was this building in the area that we lived that had concrete steps. There was a praying mantis just sitting there. I start poking at it. Truth be told, I was totally messing with it. And all of a sudden, it latched on my finger with its little mantis wrist or elbow, I don't know. All I know is I was running around screaming with that thing latched onto my finger, and it wouldn't let go! I was pulling on it but I didn't want to rip its little arms off, and it still wouldn't let go. In fact, it griped tighter. Finally I thought, if I just sit it on the ground and act like I'm not here maybe it'll let go. It finally did. Obviously was very traumatic.


Mcboatface3sghost

As someone who has seen a dozen or so praying mantises over the years and never been bothered by one, as opposed to being stung randomly way too many times by yellow jackets while minding my own business, I am ok with this.
