This is a stink bug

[84superchamp]

Bugs are superior to us. The insect ones have two extra limbs - so that makes them 50% better right?

Also the stinky ones are just as stinky as our butts but they only have 0.0003% of our weight - so they are superior stinkers***

Some of them can even fly! Can you fly if you flap your arms really hard!!! - well no - so they are better than us there too!

Also a lot of them shut up and don't get into arguments on Rig-talk... so I think they are better than us in that respect too.

Stink Bug Weight​

• A typical brown marmorated stink bug weighs about 0.1 to 0.2 grams.

Average Human Weight​

• Globally, the average adult human weighs around 62 kg (62,000 grams).

Percentage Calculation​

Using the higher estimate (0.2 g

0.262,000×100≈0.00032%\frac{0.2}{62,000} \times 100 \approx 0.00032\%
So a stink bug is roughly 0.0003% of an average human’s weight.

I'll do the metric conversions and get back with you.

Many old people do practically nothing at all...

Except go on rig-talk and talk shit

It's a bug. WTF? Any sympathy for wasps? How about termites? Mosquitoes?

BTW small hole in the top and a bit of isopropyl ended its worthless life.

Typical right winger: a psychopathic sadist.

I understand bro'.

So many peeps embrace the "it's them or me" mentality but I put it to you that it in no way threatened your life.

Also, it had no conception of the fact that it "invaded" your house. Insects seek out food sources, such as fruit flies around a food-waste bin, then spiders appear "out of nowhere" to eat them and so on.

Anywho, just executing my "duty" to remind one and all that one of the things that separates us from animals is the ability to place ourselves in others' shoes. With greater ability comes greater responsibility IMHO.

Thank you for listening. Moralising rant over.

Well said mate. Empathy is our true gift.

Except when they are right wing sadist psychopaths tho, amirite?

Obviously wasp / ant nests in our homes is a fair point to draw the line IMHO.

Too late to fuck around at that point.

I will say this 'though:
Every animal has its place in nature. Just because one doesn't have obvious utility to person X doesn't mean its life is any-less valid.

It may take a bunch of rabbit-hole diving in order to realise an animal's true worth. When viewed from an unbiased, non-anthropomorphic angle, it turns out they're all on-par. Some have obvious direct benefits to mankind whilst others benefit creatures and plants that're, you know, not us.

Even the largest creature on earth would cease to exist were it not for the humble little shrimp called krill, which averages 0.4–0.8 in.

Solid perspective on the web of life mate..it ain't a pyramid. We all need each other.

Correct weight.

Bacteria gets the worst deal IMHO, especially the aerobic varieties.

They process all our shit and dead animals and we'd all die without 'em but nobody wants to know about it.

Exactly bro, although you may mean the anaerobic bacteria. They're the stinky ones but yup, we'd be up shit's creek without em.
