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

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.
Sure blame the female
When does this movie hit theaters, or is it made for TV?
Since when is Daddy a sex? It's clearly a gender that is not exclusive to males.
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.

Oh, I see we've already started! Pardon me! I was a tad behind the news.
That's pretty hard to do. Just consider the executioners: everyone that wants that job is an asshole as they want to kill other people and would have to be killed themselves. And if you make somebody be the executioner that doesn't want to do it (a not asshole), then the people forcing them to do it are assholes as they are forcing somebody to be an executioner against their will!
Every mosquito you don't* kill
Every spider you kill that you see makes them better at hiding in your house
That's the ideal outcome: mosquitoes avoid me.
I've had that thought about animals.
Wild animals always run away when I'm walking thru the woods which is kind of a bummer.
However I remember that every deer that approached a human in the past was killed and eaten. Every animal that didn't run away was eaten or domesticated.
The ones that ran away survived and had more offspring
No, the ones you try and fail to kill, then breed, are the ones that evolve.
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.
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 why I effort at maximum into keep my kind away of being successfully bitten at all: none that targets me may bite me, none that bites me may survive, they better keep perpetuating without successfully using me.
