People are thinking of killing *selective* species of mosquito. Not all mosquitoes are disease vectors and most mosquitoes who are disease vectors are also invasive species.

[holofish]

Even though it's winter, just hearing about mosquitoes makes me itchy!

[arashikitty]

its so cute how he has this deep sitting hate against mosquitos.( I can fully relate)

[ganaraminukshuk]

Wait, scientists put tiny brain-scanning helmets onto mosquitoes to see how they learn which target to suck blood from?

Uhh, has science gone too far or not far enough?

[juliaprohaska]

Thank you, SR Foxley. Thank you very much.

[ShobhitVashistha]

My brain always lights up when Hank is hosting the video!

News from the future: Mad scientist takes over planet Earth with army of trained mosquitoes

[irwainnornossa]

Nothing, because I don't have friends.
And now, I'll watch it and regret my comment.

[nileshahirwar]

By looking at comments on this video, it seems like I'm the only one who have friends.

[WormholeJim]

What I most liked about the video was Hank's shirt

[davidmurphy]

save and dry out your coffee grounds. By a butane torch lighter, like harbor freight $20. Torch the coffee till smoking red members. blowing helps. do this inside and run skeeters out smoke it up good then take it out side anywhere you don't want skeeters ...works...pour it on

Hmm perhaps empathy gives us an advantage in group cohesion, allowing compatible individuals to congregate and work together.

[Kobolds_in_a_trenchcoat]

personally I think I would find myself very annoying if I were not me (meaning if I were in a conversation with myself but could not hear my own thoughts). of course there is literally no way to ever test this without an alternate universe that is exactly the same but whatever. Also its possible that I would absolutely love myself, I mean its not exactly easy to find out or measure.

"The delicious scent of humans" 3:05 lol

[BlazingLightSword]

2:45 was the thumbnail, and I read the background text with no context, then the title of the video... I was amused

[jeremiasrobinson]

OK! Ok! You convinced me. I'll share the video with my friends.

[unmeaninglessly]
