The Things that Keep me Awake at Night, Volume 1

Recommended Posts

Some of you...well, all of you really don't give a skeever's tail what I think about. Well, that's too bad. Because that's what you are reading! HAHAHAHA! Well, if you didn't want to, you could leave now, i guess...major hole in that method...If you are still here, I should get down to business.

 

These threads are all about two of the random and most unlikely topics for any conversation. And I think about them sometimes. As a matter of fact, if any conversation has been held with these topics, I'd be surprised. Mainly because you didn't care anytime before. Why should you now? Okay, the following is what you can expect from each thread I make:

 

Hello and welcome to: The Things that Keep me Awake at Night, Volume 1.

By: Ryu Hayabusa

 

Today's topics are all about bugs!

 

The first topic is:

Do insects feel immense pain when you injure their exoskeletons?

 

I think about this sometimes. We step on bugs all the time, and think we did the world a favor. What if you slightly missed and only crushed a leg? Happened once, right? Well, do you think that insect felt the same pain a Human does when they break a leg? Do bugs feel that searing pain when their exoskeletons crack? I mean really, what if you just broke the exoskeleton? Will that bug feel the immense pain that we do when we break bones? I doubt any of you have thought of that. Have you ever broken a bone? Sucks right? Think about that next time you...hold on, killing this cockroach...Okay. Think about that next time you kill or maim a bug. Maybe they feel the pain. Hold up, it's twitching...Okay, maybe it's dead now. Like I said, think about it.

This keeps me awake at night.

 

The next topic is:

Do insects get diseases?

 

I had cancer once. I wonder if an ant has ever had it too? Have you ever wondered if there is a bug with rapidly dividing cells? That is cancer. I wonder, sometimes, if a bug has ever had the bug flu too. I wonder if they ache all over, and if they get the sniffles. Can a bug sneeze? Can they cough? Do they even get sick? That reminds me, what if a bug had an STD? What a world. If bugs could get those...Have you ever thought that we may not be the only one worrying about this?

This keeps me awake at night.

 

Thank you, this has been: Things that Keep me Awake at Night, By: Ryu Hayabusa.

I love this thread lol. I will say tho that I have never wondered if they get diseases. I have wondered if they do feel pain. Another thing I have asked myself, when you flick a bug or swat a fly, is it in comparison of a human getting hit by a vehicle?

I would compare it more to a space station..

I was expecting a CreepyPasta thread.

 

I've actually thought about the first thing a lot, and on some occasions I've felt regret for smashing bugs on instinct, afterwords I give them a quick death, as I know it's the most merciful thing I can do at that point.

 

As for the second thing, I highly doubt it. I'm not an expert, but I know that diseases target specific species, at the most they can only infect very similar species. It's a possibility they get their own version of cancer or illness, but not the diseases that we're familiar with. I'm also pretty sure that bugs don't have the anatomy to get the snivels or cough.

 

I wish you luck with your sleeping problem! :D

Really? These keep you awake at night?

Humans crush bugs because we have a hatred of bugs built into our consciousness. Anything with tentacles and more then 4 legs is creepy to us, so we kill it.

Yes, I have a brain that sometimes goes into deep thinking mode. On any subject no one else thinks about.
