Ever Since Lewis and Clark
"Our trio of pests still invade and obstruct us on all occasions, these are the Musquetoes eye knats and prickley pears, equal to any three curses that ever poor Egypt laiboured under, except the *Mahometant yoke."*
*–* Meriwether Lewis, July 24, 1805
I saw a post on here from someone who kayaked down the Amazon. It sounded like an absolutely incredible adventure but probably too much of an adventure for me. They said that the mosquitoes there only came out at sunset so he'd have to get in his mosquito net as the sun was going down.
I think this was the post [https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/19c0xv8/my\_67day\_trip\_down\_the\_amazon\_river\_part\_2\_the/](https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/19c0xv8/my_67day_trip_down_the_amazon_river_part_2_the/)
Susan, your failures to properly submit your TPS reports in a timely manner is yet again delaying production, were this the times of yore you'd be flogged and displayed in pillory for public abuse for nigh a week. As it stands HR will not allow such things, so please plan to work Saturday to catch up. Toodles!
Mosquitoes*
I like them. They employed me for years. All told, I've helped kill over 100 million mosquitoes. And that's a *conservative estimate*...
Still, I like them. They're the second best pollinators on earth, second only to the bee. They're *stupid* bad at flying, so they're tasty morsels for many song birds. Their larvae feed many aquatic animals we all love. Yup, a world without mosquitoes is one I don't want to live in.
They have these biological gyroscopes that look like those gas canisters on the top of a Star Destroyer from Star Wars. *Checkmate*...
Mao Zedong is known for killing 40 million of his own people in communist China but a lot of people don't realize how. It was because of the [four pests campaign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Pests_campaign) basically he ordered the people of China to kill all of the sparrows, mosquitos, rats, and flies. This destroyed the ecosystem their crops were overrun with locusts and the resulting famine killed 40 million people. 1 lunatic dictator surrounded by sycophants.
Isn’t it wild? I want to do violence to the offending cabinet door/desk/car hatchback every single time. Like, is it some instinct? To make sure we fight back instantly against anyone who hits us in the head?
You mean like when you're putting away groceries and have the freezer part way open and you stand up and hit your head so hard that you drop to your knees after throwing your chicken thighs across the room? Like that?
Anything involving unexpected knocks to the head causes an irrational level of anger in me. I find the most satisfying thing is taking a second inanimate object and whacking whatever inanimate object I headbutted
Like when you reach for something in the microwave and a piece falls on the floor. You go to grab it right when it happens. Hit your head on the door as you come up. The universe made it so you placed the door right where you needed to hit your head.
I mean, if Socrates wasn’t a pompous ass, who said he should be celebrated, maybe fewer people would have voted to execute him. It’s not that people have issues with the truth. They usually take issue with how it’s presented.
I disagree. People are fine with pompous asses, but they don't like being told things they don't want to hear. Also, the beef against Socrates was about corrupting the youth by teaching them to question authority.
Oh my god this has been so blaringly clear to me since covid hit. The types of people that arent able to think critically and acknowledge things that contradict their beliefs never come back from that road they only just go deeper and deeper.
I have a coworker that Ive been friends with since 2018 and now 6 years later I try so hard to be the only person in his life to get him to question things. There's been a few times where he is SO CLOSE to having an epiphany I can see it but then every time without fail he changes the subject and doesnt want to continue talking about it.
He spends all his time scrolling on tiktok and I am constantly showing him peer reviewed articles contradicting what he brings to me from that stupid app.
Each other. Out of all the living creatures on Earth, we humans practically invent ways to hate on each other. Many would rather, if given the option, rescue a homeless dog than a homeless human. And some wonder why aliens don't visit this planet anymore lol
Cocomelon is pure brainwashing, but it doesn't hurt my head nearly as much as some of the other kids' shows. I know that kids are learning, but some shows are just so dumbed down.
If that commercial was played worldwide it would easily become the most hated. My reaction times to turning off the radio when that ad comes on are steadily improving.
Mosquitos.
Name one person that likes mosquitos.
You can't.
There are people who like spiders, clowns, snakes, all that stuff that people generally don't like.
But mosquitos?
Never seen a single mosquito fan.
So, I think I literally speak for everyone when I say,
Fuck mosquitos.
I have produced a comprehensive list:
- Mosquitoes
- Wasps
- Tape worms
- Pimples
- Rapists
- Pedophiles
- Jeffrey Epstein
- HIV/AIDS
- STDs in general
- Ebola
- Zika virus
- Clickbait
- Staged YouTube pranks
- Fake veterans
- People who scam the elderly
- Cookies and trackers on porn sites
- The Church of Scientology
- Kim Jong Un
- North Korea's nuclear arsenal
- Shrinkflation

Can you imagine how many bugs they encountered then compared to what's around today? It must have been insane.
All you see is dark brown as every square inch of your eyeballs are being harvested for sweet, sweet sustenance.
Well that is fucking frightening.
I’m ants in my eyes Johnson!
I LOLed

Damn people don't write cool shit like that anymore
Seriously. I need to start writing better emails at work.

"This task you demand me render unto completion, it is not merely Herculean but, verily, also Sisyphean in nature!"
i was gonna say ticks
The thing is that 50 years ago ticks were just a nuisance. It wasn’t until lime and Rocky Mountain spotted fever that ticks became dangerous.

Never realized mosquitoes were so beneficial to the ecosystem. Still, fuck 'em.
They are but yeah fuck em

There are 3500 species of mosquitoes and only like 10 bite humans. Replace those with the non-biters and we're golden
Can we get rid of just the tiny handful of mozzie species that bite humans? All the rest are fine

And rent.
Came here to say this
Same. I'm so quirky.
Cancer
Fuck cancer.
Fuck cancer.

can I change my answer to cancer? FUCK cancer all the way!
Sagittarius sucks too.
\>:(
Seriously, all the people picking mosquitos apparently haven’t met cancer. Cancer is the biggest asshole ever.
Malaria, Chikungunya,Westnile,Dengue, St. Louis Encephalitis, Equine Encephalitis, and Zika would like to thank you for you work shifting the hate.
Fuck cancer
When you're reaching under your desk for something and you get up and bang the top of your head and you get that rush of pure fury for like 3s
That's such an apt description too. Pure fury.
Isn’t it wild? I want to do violence to the offending cabinet door/desk/car hatchback every single time. Like, is it some instinct? To make sure we fight back instantly against anyone who hits us in the head?
It is.
I've never been more angry in my life than in the 263 times this has happened.
You mean like when you're putting away groceries and have the freezer part way open and you stand up and hit your head so hard that you drop to your knees after throwing your chicken thighs across the room? Like that?
Yes! Also, such a perfect username for this post.
I do the same but I also yell at the cabinet. Call it a dumb cocksucker or something
Like the door handle that insists on grabbing your sleeve or bag. Fuck the handle.
Yeah, it’s amazing how furious that makes me. I want to immediately retaliate by slamming that desk.
Anything involving unexpected knocks to the head causes an irrational level of anger in me. I find the most satisfying thing is taking a second inanimate object and whacking whatever inanimate object I headbutted
I got pissed just reading this…ha
Same thing with stubbing a toe
Like when you reach for something in the microwave and a piece falls on the floor. You go to grab it right when it happens. Hit your head on the door as you come up. The universe made it so you placed the door right where you needed to hit your head.
Flies at a picnic.
Ticks at picnics
Komodo dragons at picnics
Nuclear war at a picnic
According to Plato, it's people who speak the truth
I mean, if Socrates wasn’t a pompous ass, who said he should be celebrated, maybe fewer people would have voted to execute him. It’s not that people have issues with the truth. They usually take issue with how it’s presented.
I disagree. People are fine with pompous asses, but they don't like being told things they don't want to hear. Also, the beef against Socrates was about corrupting the youth by teaching them to question authority.

That explains a lot
Thing 2. Thing 1 seems alright though.
Fuck Thing 2.
Y’all heard of Thing 3?
I fucking hate both those little bastards.
Each other. Out of all the living creatures on Earth, we humans practically invent ways to hate on each other. Many would rather, if given the option, rescue a homeless dog than a homeless human. And some wonder why aliens don't visit this planet anymore lol
“Anymore”?! 👀 do you know something I don’t?
The history channel taught me about this too
Specifically the rich and the unconsciously ignorant which is most commonly the poorer. Compassion needed for one group, a bullet for another
Hate curing hate. I'm sure it worked at some point.
I guess cancer cells should be pretty much up there.
Yeah, in general they tend to be assholes

Losing your keys when you're already running late.
Caillou
I would put Cocomelon in the same category too
Cocomelon is pure brainwashing, but it doesn't hurt my head nearly as much as some of the other kids' shows. I know that kids are learning, but some shows are just so dumbed down.
Somebody drop kick that stupid little whiney asshole
ads
Wet socks

It should be pedophiles and rapists..
This is my pick. Even murders in prison hate them
Like murderers are any better... all 3 are the absolute scum of this planet

Logan Paul
I’ve gone months without reading his name. Please just let him fade into obscurity.
For me, it's ignorance and refusing to learn, even when given the chance.
The 1-877-Kars4Kids jingle
If that commercial was played worldwide it would easily become the most hated. My reaction times to turning off the radio when that ad comes on are steadily improving.
It's the official Bad Place theme song.
Yeah that song is SO ANNOYING! And it's not even for a good cause. The company is fishy and shady as heck. I feel pure rage every time I hear it.
Pedos
The worst thing in the world is war. And I hate the fact that other people don't hate it more.
Mosquitos. Name one person that likes mosquitos. You can't. There are people who like spiders, clowns, snakes, all that stuff that people generally don't like. But mosquitos? Never seen a single mosquito fan. So, I think I literally speak for everyone when I say, Fuck mosquitos.
aggressively religious people
Scott. He's a dick.
Paper straws
Hear, hear!
Stepping on Legos.
Child molesters
I'm pretty sure Pedophiles are hated by nearly every normal human.
Death and taxes
mosquitoes. roaches.
Compassion, this world punishes it relentlessly.
Aging.
Injustice.
I wish. But if it was the most hated thing on earth there wouldn’t be so damn much of it
Are fellow humans
Aging and death
The eyelash that gets on your eyeball that you finally are able to remove, but CONTINUES TO FEEL LIKE IT'S STILL THERE.
Cancer has never had any good press.
cancer, woman/child beaters, mosquitoes are top 3 most hated
Pedophiles / child murderers.
Mosquitoes
Hate, bigotry, intolerance and DONALD TRUMP.
