That seems mild.

Could we try to convince the males that they are the ugliest things on earth so they find large animals that can step on them?

Maybe come up with a liquid that you put in standing water that makes the mosquitoes grow very tiny legs and a very large left wing? You know, so they have to fly to move and they can only fly spinning like crazy.

I got a better one! Make them neon bright and glow in the dark. Make those fuckers be the center of attention. I'm talking kids with nets and old guys with cameras and microscopes with single mosquito flashes (like 1 mosquitoes per photo). And of course sugar sweet flavor? Everything under the sun trying to find them and eat them as snacks. I kinda like this one the best.

And this is it. This is how we arrived where we are now.

Nature? KILL IT! EXTERMINATE IT!

We've spend 2000 years slowly beeting nature to our wims. It has destroyed the planets ecosystem on a scale only seen by planet wide desasters in the past. We have driven countless species into extinction, and still counting. We take without any regard or resecpt for anything then our own needs.

That is exactly the mindset the comment I am replying to has to me.

Yes!

Total mutual destruction is the only way™
