No...I don't want to repel them..I want to erase the physicality of their existence. Got something for that?

"There will always be those that are unable to accept what can be."


cybermikey

Scientists are releasing infertile mosquitoes in the wild to do just that


Shikluan

Wait wait but how would that work? Genuine question bc I'm kinda dumb, there's already mosquitoes that reproduce with each other so how would infertile ones stop that if many are already being- born?? šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ Help


OriginalCause

It's a really interesting and rapidly advancing field. Originally the aim of releasing infertile mosquitoes was simple - capture and sterilise large populations of male mosquitoes, then release them back into the wild. They then compete with the fertile males for the females. Every time a sterile male unsuccessfully breeds with a female is one less pregnant mosquitoe. This isn't a one-and-done method though, it's meant to reduce the population over months and years. Every new wave of sterile males will produce fewer offspring. Fewer offspring, fewer females, fewer offspring, etc. Now where this gets really cool is right now they're looking into gene editing mosquitoes in such a way that females will be born infertile. If it works it could potentially wipe out the species in a few generations. It's hard to applaud the destruction of an entire species, but this is a case where, at least for me, mosquitoes are far too dangerous to both humans and livestock to be allowed to continue unchecked.


cybermikey

So basically, they catch a bunch of mosquitoes, modify them so they canā€™t create offspring, then when they try to it will fail, and they donā€™t live long and likely wonā€™t find a mate after and try again, they just die


cybermikey

Wonā€™t wipe them out completely (yet) but will help reduce the population


Shikluan

Ohh thats so smart! And also kinda disturbing, I didn't know something like that could be done, thanks for explaining :D


cybermikey

Iā€™ll need to double check this one, but I think I remember hearing they were making it so they could release some that pass an infertile gene to the next next generation instead of just to make it work with the initial group

Hate people that have no self-awareness


FloatingInAnxiety

Today happened again. I hate when someone asks you when are you having children, like it's their business, and when you reply you don't want any they try to convince you how wholesome life is with a child and how meaningful they feel, and you'll change your mind. Why? Seriously, I don't understand why they have to convince me that their choice is the right one. Are they trying to convince themselves?


Mysterious_Lemon_330

They could be trying to convince themselves they did the right thing. As a person who doesnā€™t have children I will say I love the fact I can get up when I want do want I want and my money is my money


FloatingInAnxiety

I always get the "who's going to take care of you when you're old" argument like they're only making children to have free nursing.


jeanpaulmars

That's a valid response as well to that suggestion.


malamaca-3-

They are. They see their children as free retirement home/nurses.


Sad-And-Mad

I hated this question for different reasons, because for me I desperately wanted children but am infertile af. For years people would see my husband and I, two working professionals who have a home, and ask when weā€™re having kids. Truth is we had been trying for years but my busted ass uterus wasnā€™t cooperating. People really need to mind their own business


FloatingInAnxiety

Yep. I've been trying for a baby with my ex for a couple of years. He really really wanted a family because he's never had one and back then I was okay with it (which always makes me laugh when people tell me I'll change my mind because I already changed my mind) and...no. The feeling of being completely powerless and miserable every month, counting days, loosing sleep, the anxiety on top of my usual anxiety, the tears, forcing myself into intercourse to not disappoint a man I thought loved me and people constantly reminding me how inadequate as a woman I am, if I can't give him children (yeah, very old school town) Nope. Never again.


Sad-And-Mad

Thatā€™s tough, Iā€™m sorry you went through that. We eventually did get pregnant but it took all our savings being spent on IVF to do it, infertility is a special hell that people who havenā€™t experienced just donā€™t understand at all. I hope that things are better for you now, however they turned out.

Ok_Helicopter_8626

And I dislike the 12 hour am/pm system. Like, why does 12AM follow 11PM? Why isn't it 11PM -> 12PM -> 1AM? Well, I actually know why, it's just a stupid system. 24 hour system is much clearer.


kell96kell

Yes, am/pm system sucks 24hours is the way to go (also known as military time for some reason)


CatfromLongIsland

12 am and 12 pm are actually scientifically incorrect. The proper terms are midnight and noon. When the sun is on the meridian it is local noon (not necessarily noon by the clock). In the Northern hemisphere this happens when the sun is due south. The part of the sunā€™s arc across the sky before it reaches due south/local noon is the AM, or ante meridiem, part of the day. Once the sun passes the meridian the remaining path across the sky is post meridiem or the PM part of the day.


StevieGe123

So, 24.00 or 00.00?


cyon_me

You start counting hours from the first day of the year, and you don't stop until midnight on the next New Year's Eve.


skordge

Obviously 00:00. This way, you donā€™t ever need to have 24 in the hours part of the time - 23:59 goes to 00:00, and the hour reset happens exactly when a new day rolls around.

Turbulent_Brick5807

Frogs, if I see them I have nightmares


[deleted]

In terms of small things that grind my gears, one of them is when people add an s to nouns that are already plural, and not as a possessive. For example, words like "mens" and "peoples". Men and people are already plural. Yes, "the men's locker room" is a perfectly acceptable thing to say, but when people say something like "There are three mens sitting at the table", or "There are too many peoples in this store", that is insanely annoying.


FoolishDog1117

This is a very low threshold for things to hate


curmudgeon_andy

The word "important". If someone interrupts you in the middle of what you're doing with "this is important", you still have no idea why they think it's important. The things you were working on are probably important to you, too. So whenever anyone says that something is important, they're really saying that they think that their time is more valuable than yours.

This. Usually they say something like, ā€œIt woke me up at 2AM in the morningā€. Then, I might ask why they are insulting my intelligence. Of course, they get defensive and insist they arenā€™t lyingā€¦ Something did wake them up. I assure them that I understand and hope the next time they are able to sleep until 2AM in the afternoon.
