    You know that you can use both hands to kill flies and mosquitos easy-peasy, right? It just takes a modicum of patience, and you don’t have to hit yourself at all.

    In other words, you need to plan your violence, instead of being impulsive with it.

    The problem with this old chestnut is that nut-tapping yourself is way better than walking around with a mosquito bite on your ball sack.

    1: nonviolently remove mosquito from testicle.

    2: kill the mosquito.

    3: kill the mosquito’s friends, family, neighbors, distant relatives.

    4: full on mosquito genocide.

    5: don’t stop until they’re completely extinct.

     

    The food chain can either adapt or collapse. Fuck it. Worse case scenario, we snuff out life on this planet a few years earlier than we’re doing anyway via our increasingly relentless attacks on our climate. At this point it’s worth the risk.

      Humanity agrees. We are currently undergoing a massive genetic weapons test against mosquitos to get them to stop breeding, and recent research hints at a generic switch for malaria. It’s terrifying but if theere’s anything that humanity was going to yolo, it was going to be mosquito genocide.

    I used to have testicles, and I can confidently say it’s possible to squeeze a mosquito to death between your fingers while it drinks your blood.

    I’ve also heard legends of people flexing their muscles to pop a mosquito from the blood pressure. Someone should try using an erection to kill a mosquito.
