Jax@sh.itjust.works 8 months agoI think that just results in billions of dog sized bugs being dead no? Isn’t it a lack of available oxygen in the air that keeps their size down?
Granted, every flying insect becoming as large as a dog and plummeting to the Earth instantly would be fucking horrifying.

The inverse-square law means that most insects lack the body structure to withstand their own weight at that size, which would mean a horrifying moment or all insects growing and then imploding under their own weight.

You guys are all ignoring the most fundamental law of physics: Monkey’s Paw Law.
“Grant the desired wish in the most unpleasant way possible.”
Hidden Effect: Phyics now supports bugs the size of dogs.
