Nothing more satisfying than killing a mosquito and taking back the blood that they stole.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Hell yes! It's my blood damnit!

This is how you accidentally become a cannibal, don't eat things that eat us.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Given the chance, just about everything would eat us.

Why is it called "bite" tho?

They use their pointy tube-like mouthpart to poke into our skin and get the blood. Isn't that closer to stinging?

Would you rather we call it penetration?

I saw the message in my inbox and I was thinking of replying just with a lenny face. Well there it is already.

singing

Is that how you sing? Sticking your mouth to others' skin?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For the same reason we say a snake is poisonous, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, that was my point.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

screw contracting diseases if it means you can turn the tables on them 🤷

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If they bit you first, is there any increased risk? I mean you've already had blood contact if they were carrying anything.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Sure maybe when you start out by only getting revenge. But not when you decide to devastate the entire mosquito population, becoming the mosquito antichrist in your quest for vengeance.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

From experience I can say that they taste bad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Those damn beasts bit me all over my feet and soles and hand. Scratchy everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

How. Tell me right now.

Put it in your mouth and SUCK IT!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

One of my dogs is a nipper and I keep telling him that I don't bite him, so I don't think that's especially fair.

Does he listen?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You can get an electrified racquet... then just stand there swinging it wildly like a lightsaber, listening to the crackle and pop of your tiny bitey enemies dying 10 at a time.

The enemy is never ending, it's kind of a Sysphean task. But for a few brief minutes you will once again feel secure in your place at the top of the food chain (also your chances of being reincarnated as a mosquito are increased by 100000x)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

While it is theoretically possible to put a mosquito in your mouth and bite down on it, it is highly unadvisable and unsanitary. Mosquitoes are known carriers of various diseases including malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus, among others. When they feed on blood, they can pick up these diseases from infected individuals and transmit them to others. So, biting a mosquito could potentially expose you to these diseases.

Grab the mosquito, stick its proboscis right into your vein, and squeeze your stolen blood back in.
