Every mosquito you kill with your hands makes them evolve to be better at avoiding you.

  Every one of them that doesn’t successfully kill me is breeding a super mosquito killer.

  How exactly are they evolving if you kill them? Surely the ones you don’t kill evolve 🤔

    Exactly, I kill the slowest, leaving the fastest to breed.

      Counter: you’re killing the ones that like the taste of a human and thus they’ll evolve to avoid humans.

      We need this system institutionalized for humans. Except instead of slowest, we just kill the assholes.

  This is why I stay liquored up. One of these mosquitoes bites me, they take back that elixir to their family. Dad mosquito shows up hammered. Turns out he missed their kids soccer game (again) Wife is taking the kids to stay with her sister in Albuquerque. Kids only see the dad on the weekends where they have built up an immense disdain for him. This lends to their emotional trauma where they spend the next several years acting out their pain…wait

  I need to rethink this

    Your patriarchy is showing. It’s only the female mosquitos that bite.

  Every spider you kill that you see makes them better at hiding in your house

  I noticed that about the lantern flies this year. The past couple of years every time you saw a lantern fly anywhere you could just squish it without any serious effort. This year you had to be really fast or chased them for five times.

  That’s the ideal outcome: mosquitoes avoid me.

  I made a pact with mosquitos; they can bite me when I sleep as long as they don’t annoy me with buzzing.

  It’s extremely effective and both parties have been very happy.
