Nice...now I'm going to have to look up "what did bed bugs do before beds?"

When you’re done, look up how humans losing our body hair split the species of lice living on us into head lice and pubic lice.

And how shaving, waxing etc has made pubic lice an endangered species

Nice, how do we extinct bed bugs?

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 27 points 10 months ago

Shave and wax your bed, obviously

There are people volunteering to "house" pubic lice to keep them from going extinct.

I don't support all forms of biodiversity

Same. An uncomfortable and embarrassing parasite that preys only on humans isn't exactly like wolves or the European Honey Bee.

Every species on earth except the lice themselves will be either better off or completely unaffected if they go extinct.

The Lice nation lived in unity, until one day humanity suddenly changed and caused discord in the United Colonies.
Ever since that moment ,division only grew stronger. Unity is a thing of the past, Pubic nation envies the Hair resources, war is inevitable.

I'm gonna go ahead and blame you for that whole thing.
