imagine if you could remove bugs from existence and anything that relies on them for food or reproduction such as birds and plants develops alternatives for it.

Even mosquitoes? Please tell me we can live without them.
You dislike mosquitos all you want. Some species rely on them. There's always something. They exist for a reason.
Alternatively you can just install screen doors, wear long sleeves, and use mosquito repellent.
Some male mosquitoes pollinate flowering plants, but most grasses don't make flowers so grasses atleast probably don't rely on mosquitoes. But who knows, I'm not a grass-ologist.

No bugs to cuddle up with? Try snakes!
I feel itchy just from looking at this
Me if loratadine didnโt exist.
Damn that antihistamine, preventing good hardworking people from being able to enjoy laying in the grass!!1
bugs won't exist if you can just do it right the first time
white people do be invasive, she could've said "me if bugs didn't crawl on me" or something like that, but no, straight up aiming for the nonexistence of an important family of animals
Racist people be like...
White people are the most oppressed group change my mind ๐ค
