    Go outside, there are no bugs. We’ve lost nearly all biodiversity. It’s over bud.

    I drove from Victoria BC to Fairbanks AK three years ago without washing my windshield.

      Go outside, there are no bugs.

      My neighborhood is alive with cicadas every night and there’s no shortage of mosquitoes biting.

      I’m inside the Houston loop, too. Not out in the boonies. Spiderwebs in my garage. Toads in my drainage ditch. I assume they’re eating something.

      That’s pretty normal in the winter. Try it again after a big rainstorm.

      I’m happy to report there are still plenty of bugs outside the US. So by your evidence at the very worst, just the US is ending :)

        I’m in British Columbia

        Be honest though when is the last time you’ve seen a butterfly?

          Legitimately in the last two weeks, I forget which day specifically it was. But admittedly that was fairly unusually. But just yesterday I was sitting outside and saw a couple bees, and it is only the start of spring

      You didn’t get bugs on your windshield so now you’re be forever alone? You’re just catastrophizing. This is literally just baby stepping from a silly premise to a wild conclusion.

      Look, calling yourself undateable is always a self fulfilling prophecy. You have to know on some level that it’s still possible if you put in the effort right? There are TONS of childless single women out there.

        I’m alone by choice as I explained in my original comment. What don’t you understand?

        I already had a childless marriage which resulted in me losing half my wealth and most of my friends.

        And yes the lack of bugs means that the entire ecosystem is dying. It’s kind of a big deal
