I pit Spectre of Pithecanthropus' wife

Its an insect. We should kill as many of them as possible

I bet it knows how to use an apostrophy, and maybe a period.

By the way, your plan is so incredibly dumb – if put into action the extinction of all animal life on the planet would soon follow.

While I have some sympathy for your POV, you personally are kind of a tool. :frowning:

It might even know how to spell “apostrophe”.

Ha! I double thunk myself – I initially typed *apostrophe *(which is French for apostrophe) and then I thought that looks French so “corrected” it. I’ve made worse errors.

Hopefully not so mind-numblingly stupid as posting in the wrong thread.

Praying Mantis egg cases are easy to purchase/hatch if anyone wants/needs praying mantises.

I’m curious, OP. Do you just go apeshit on complete strangers on the internet? Or do you, when looking over to your neighbor’s porch and see them smack a moth out of mid air in the twilight, run over and tell them that they’re disrupting the great harmonium of life? When your coworker hits a fly with a rolled up TPS report near the coffee machine at work, do you report them to HR for genocide in the workplace?

Or do you save your inappropriate levels of horror and disgust for us here at the Dope, praying that moralizing about the lives of single invertebrates will make you seem like a hero because all of the readers are pulled completely out of context?

Meh! Maybe, I suppose tools would always be the last to know, but I think you picked the wrong post to try to establish that claim.

Worse, I bet I’ve posted in the wrong thread, in the wrong language, in my underpants.

I’m on it.

If I saw a neighbour stomp on a praying mantis, I probably would say something. So yes, I’m a tool IRL too and not just on the internet.

The life of the insect is inconsequential (I dare say you know intimately about inconsequential lives), but no, it it is the knee-jerk, “What the fuck is that?! Kill it quick!” mentality that roasts my goat.

I think I might have mentioned this before, you were probably too busy being smug to notice.

A friend bought a single egg case and soon had 30-50 mantids in his indoor garden, eating the aphids off of his cannabis plants. Successful treatment without pesticides!

You didn’t say I’d need a cannabis farm as well. I’ll check with the missus.

so because I wish for a "final solution "for slugs and roaches I’m the spawn of Satan?

after searching my soul *for all of 30 seconds) I find I can live with that…

Fuck me, you’re as dumb as the slugs you slaughter. At least slugs don’t annoy you by posting strawman arguments in your otherwise perfectly good pit thread.

Thanks, we’ll be checking that out

You are such a colossal idiot.

No, I’m fairly certain using a post in which you call someone a retard is the perfect example.

Good to know. I had aphids on my lilies last summer and the ladybugs did little. Maybe I’ll try them instead.

I beseech you to read the post to which I was responding. Then come back to be flamed. Moron.

Just because he’s a tool too, doesn’t mean you’re not. However, if it makes you happy, I’ll use one where you say moron instead to make my point.

Oh look, there’s one now.
