Do humans?

Yeah, we seek to understand the universe, develop culture and civilisation as well as construct cities, wonders and great works of art.
Be edgy elsewhere.

We've also made sure to fuck ourselves over as much as possible, the more we develop. We don't just fuck other creatures up, we fuck ourselves up. We're worse than wasps!
[QUOTE=BananaFoam;41773274]No, it is not cool. It negative fucking cool.
This is terrifying.
Fuck wasps. The only species truly deserving of complete extermination, and the ultimate argument that there is no all-loving God.[/QUOTE]
you're being a bit overdramatic don't you think?
Fuck this gay earth I want on the moo-"Moon dust prone to killing humans" FFFFFFFFFU The only habitable planets that hopefully have no insects and animals are at pretty much one fuckingmillionyears away from us.
I personally like that idea that earth is pretty much god's sandbox.

Nope, he's really just underestimating them.
Wasps are beyond comparison, there is no creature to compare how much of an asshole it is with.
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;41772499]For once in my life I actually feel bad for spiders
They are super gross but wasps are just fucking cunts, they give 0 shits and will screw over everything in their path[/QUOTE]
Actually we have and old uninstalled window unit and wasps have taken it over. There is usually always one wasp holding sentinel at the vent of it. If you approach, he just looks in your direction. If you walk around, he'll keep looking at you. It's like he's sizing you up, and it's not aggressive at all.

[QUOTE=LunchboxOfDoom;41773285]We should use the wasps to destroy the spiders. They're clearly superior. And then when they emerge victorious, we'll just exterminate them. With the spiders and the wasps gone, the bees shall emerge as the master race.[/QUOTE]
Spiders are good because they kill insects.

I think spiders are awesome and that wasps can truly go fuck themselves.

Spiders are awesome as long as they stay out of my eyesight. Otherwise they'll be squeeze sauce within a few seconds, depending on how fast I can find something to hit them with.
[QUOTE=Chaoswolf725;41773480]Do wasps even do anything besides fuck other creatures up?[/QUOTE]
No. But for an ecology to work, you need creatures to fuck up certain other types of creature good.

Parasitic Wasps are really cool though.
They don't harm people and they kill the shit out of pests.

They may get rid of other insects, but make a new one in the process.

They make more of themselves to kill pests.

That's actually not how it works. There was a brief period after the 'Great Dying' at the end of the Permian where an animal called Lystrosaurus made up about 95% of the animal population over the entire planet. Their predators had been almost completely annihilated and for awhile they were practically the only thing around save for the plants they ate until new predators evolved to replace the ones which went extinct.
Predators don't exist to balance the ecosystem, they exist because it gives them an advantage to survive, the fact that they help contribute to the demise of seasonal surplus (Other factors being disease, accidents and starvation) is just a side effect.
There's appearently an "Anti-zombie-fungus fungus" that kills that fungus that infects ants:
[quote]O. unilateralis suffers from an unidentified fungal hyperparasite, reported in the lay press as the "anti-zombie-fungus fungus", that results in only 6–7% of sporangia being viable, limiting the damage O. unilateralis inflicts on ant colonies.[/quote]

Apparently there are also hyper-parasite wasps that parasitise other wasps: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperparasite[/url]

FTFY.

I'm referring to how, where there is lack of predators, things start getting unbalanced and say, things start getting browsed into the ground (See: Deer).

Alright I'll change my avatar to Einstein then maybe you'll believe me.
