Nature finds ways to kill shit without even trying. Bacteria will crap out toxins just by doing their own things. Once a creature starts developing a feature that benefits it somehow, natural selection starts working to properly weaponize it.

Well one reason may be the way bugs reproduce in large numbers. Massive population per generation, the fittest survive, somewhere along the way the anti-death skeet technique develops, the species rate of survival goes up. In other words: a population of one gorrillion, one gorrillion cycles per year, over one gorrillion years will yield wild abilities like this and zombie parasite bugs.

it's only simple minded religious retards that think that. Anyone that's around animals ever in their life knows they are no different than us.
I had a mormon co-worker that killed about 5-20 arctic foxes a day with traps just for fun. I really wanted to murder him. I hope he's dead now.

>>715858490
on the contrary, they're probably the most similar to early forms of land-based life. arthropods are the earliest identifiable species on land, they basically have an unbroken chain of evolution of 500 millions years. like twice as old as dinosaurs and several times older than mammals or modern birds. that's what allows them to be so hyper-specialized. anyway, mammals are the real odd ones out, we're newcomers.

also deep sea life is way weirder. not talking about fish, but the other shit that lives in the ocean. cnidaria, ctenophora, siphonophore. those things are truly alien.

>>715858169
That's just the mutation that made it to today. Imagine all the sick shit that couldn't survive and is forever lost because some freak couldn't get laid up.

Best poison is the slow acting ones. They drag it around, into their nests, spread it around, and eventually kill the entire family tree of theirs.

>>715858774
Mutual destruction is also a valid evolutionary tactic. It's why half of everything is poisonous.

>>715858780
yes actually. the real redpill is realizing that plants have consciousness. people don't want to admit because it would shatter the worldview of "ethical" vegetarians and such.

We're only playing on easy mode now because of technology. Strip that away and life would suck. At least animals have natural protection, like scales, feathers, or thick fur to keep away cold, insects, and injury.

For social and eusocial insects it's a great method. Cockroaches and crickets especially since you want them to defecate a few times before they die. Their nymphs need to consume an adult's feces early in their first instar to acquire the bacteria required to digest food. I wouldn't recommend using any kind of poison for indoor rodents though. They'll often die inside your walls leading to a long term odor. Other rodents will often cannibalize each other, so you could potentially have dozens of dead rodents in your walls.

yes but we pretty much hit the lottery with our intellect allowing us to grasp these things and pretty much phase out survival of the fittest with every other creature. We are pretty much playing a babies level tier version of what typical animals/insects play even in 3rd world countries now.

no, we just represent life progressing to another stage of evolution. technology and the way it develops is itself a form of evolution. it's the unconscious processes of evolution becoming conscious and being reflected outwards. it's not a bug, it's a feature.

>>715860017
I get what you mean but considering there were predators purpose built to kill us there was likely a time before ANY technology where we just had to exist similar to chimps in small tribes.
The tools we had were rocks and sticks and only until we figured out how to shape these things and learn how to use them did we begin our domination of the world.
It really would suck to be a human incapable of even making a rudimentary spear while giant megafauna and specialized predators roam around. We got our revenge though.

t. Read all the IED FMs.

I do feel that most people underestimate just how strong humans are comparatively to most wildlife.
Like yeah chimps are stronger per pound, even if they are lighter overall and stuff like moose and bison and other big herbivores absolutely mog us in strength. Bears and tigers and wolves are scary as hell but none of that changes the fact that humans are plenty strong enough to fight and kill all those animals. Evolution loves "good enough" and yeah humans are good enough to kill everything. you don't need to be the strongest ever to wipe out 99% of life.
