Nothing more satisfying than killing a mosquito and taking back the blood that they stole.

[-] nothing@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Hell yes! It's my blood damnit!

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

This is how you accidentally become a cannibal, don't eat things that eat us.

[-] cabbagee@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Given the chance, just about everything would eat us.

Why is it called "bite" tho?

They use their pointy tube-like mouthpart to poke into our skin and get the blood. Isn't that closer to stinging?

[-] _CottonCandyUnicorn_@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Would you rather we call it penetration?

I saw the message in my inbox and I was thinking of replying just with a lenny face. Well there it is already.

Does Dracula bite or sting?

singing

Is that how you sing? Sticking your mouth to others' skin?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

For the same reason we say a snake is poisonous, I guess.

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago
[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, that was my point.

[-] cheerjoy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

screw contracting diseases if it means you can turn the tables on them 🤷

[-] nothing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

If they bit you first, is there any increased risk? I mean you've already had blood contact if they were carrying anything.

[-] cheerjoy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Sure maybe when you start out by only getting revenge. But not when you decide to devastate the entire mosquito population, becoming the mosquito antichrist in your quest for vengeance.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

From experience I can say that they taste bad.

[-] dragnucs@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Those damn beasts bit me all over my feet and soles and hand. Scratchy everywhere.

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

No kidding I slept in a hotel room and got 44 mosquito bites in one night last week. Good thing I only stayed there for one night. I had to withstand severe itching all over my arms for 48 hours ⊙⁠﹏⁠⊙

Put it in your mouth and SUCK IT!

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

How. Tell me right now.

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Grab the mosquito, stick its proboscis right into your vein, and squeeze your stolen blood back in.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

One of my dogs is a nipper and I keep telling him that I don't bite him, so I don't think that's especially fair.

Does he listen?

[-] Transcendant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You can get an electrified racquet... then just stand there swinging it wildly like a lightsaber, listening to the crackle and pop of your tiny bitey enemies dying 10 at a time.

The enemy is never ending, it's kind of a Sysphean task. But for a few brief minutes you will once again feel secure in your place at the top of the food chain (also your chances of being reincarnated as a mosquito are increased by 100000x)

[-] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

While it is theoretically possible to put a mosquito in your mouth and bite down on it, it is highly unadvisable and unsanitary. Mosquitoes are known carriers of various diseases including malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus, among others. When they feed on blood, they can pick up these diseases from infected individuals and transmit them to others. So, biting a mosquito could potentially expose you to these diseases.
