class, nothing would be alive if they couldnt feel pain.
Plants

exactly, nothing like animals would be alive.
You said nothing would be alive. Plants, bacteria, protists, and fungi are all alive.
Fungus would run rampant, and take over everything, including our food crops - becoming a huge problem for the survival of the human species. As dead matter (plants and animals) built up with nowhere to go, this would begin to make bodies of fresh water toxic and uninhabitable. The prices of water would skyrocket. Insane algae blooms would begin to take over vast stretches of the ocean, and not just by the shores where they typically form. This would kill off most marine life because of the toxins they produce. And, following the very basic concept of a food chain, the remnants that weren't killed by the algae would also soon meet their demise because of the complete fall of the marine ecosystem. In short, Earth would be turned into a filth-ridden wasteland with a small amount of humans living off genetically engineered food surviving in horrific conditions. Yeah, we are capable of surviving on our own, as you said. There is, however a kernel of truth to what you're saying. Maybe we are overestimating the importance of insects. We won't know unless all insects disappeared. Do you really want to find out?

What did they teach you in school? My god, and you're the one who is the first to be critical of others.
Okay, you're clearly not grasping what I'm saying here. Ignore the context of this thread for a second. Just focus on what Naru said.
"Nothing that is alive can't feel pain"
That's an objectively wrong statement. I provided clear counterexamples, and all anyone can talk about is how I don't understand the ecosystem. Even though that has nothing to do with the point I was addressing.
Now, back to what we were actually taking about.
Spoiler I don't care lol
not like I'm going to singlehandedly destroy every insect in the world
Yes, say how you don't care once a multitude of people show you how misinformed your idea is.

Christ, you know absolutely nothing about how ecosystems work, do you?
This has nothing to do with ecosystems. See if you can follow this very simple logic.
"Nothing would be alive if it couldn't feel pain"
"What about these things that are alive but can't feel pain"
"Lol what are ecosystems"
like what lol

They are generally immobile organisms so they typically do not face the hazards that mobile organisms possess.
To reference your original point about how insects wouldn't matter, read; Even though an insect-free world sounds great to most people, it world would be detrimental to our environment in many ways. First, there we would see the starvation of insect-eating animals such as frogs, moles, birds, lizards, and spiders who feed off insects to stay alive. Next there would be the inability to naturally recycle materials through composting which reintroduces nutrients into the soil. Our world would be buried in waste from all the trash we produce without insects such as beetles and their larvae, worm-like larvae, as well as true worms like night-crawlers.
Another disadvantage would be the plummeting of crop yields due to lack of pollination. The honey bee alone is responsible for pollinating almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, cantaloupes, cherries, cranberries, cucumbers, sunflowers, watermelon and many other crops. Last and most importantly there would be a collapse in the food chain. It has been said, “many plants would disappear without insect pollinators, and entire ecosystems would collapse in the absence of insects in the food chain.”
A world without insects would be no world at all; we wouldn’t exist. However, even if our planet could exist, it would lack the wonder and beautiful that nature shows us everyday. People should think about the next they say, “I hate bugs,” for its because of bugs that we are alive.

Even if humans didn't go extinct, a mass extinction of biblical proportions would ensue. It'd probably be as bad, if not worse, than The Great Dying.

You're wrong. Many plants solely rely on insects for pollination as other species do not pollinate nearly as much to sustain the species.
Believe me, no plant would die out if insects disappeared. Pollination would still continue in extremely limited forms, and the subspecies of the plant that adapted to non-insect pollination would eventually become the dominant form of the plant.
Extremely limited forms is the key word here, Class. Such a drastic change would not give Earths ecosystems time to adapt, which would result in a mass-extinction and very likely the eventual death of the human race. We'd be able to sustain ourselves for a while, but not forever.

Your attitude would quickly change if insects suddenly disappeared.
I'd be willing to let that happen. Seriously, people blow the whole insect necessity myth way out of proportion. Humans can pollinate. Low-tier mammals can eat things other than insects. We can breed animals and plants without them.
And you, you're completely disregarding just how critical insects are to life on Earth. I suggest you do some grade school-tier research on how food chains work before spouting nonsense like that.
I love how everyone just ignores my posts, lmao
We. Don't. Need. A. Food. Chain.
It is somewhat possible to survive without the food chain, but quality of life would be greatly reduced. Most plants would die, we would rely on genetically engineering to grow crops, CO2 levels would increase drastically, people in developing countries would be completely fucked over, and so forth.
Even the disappearance of honeybees that is happening right now has severe implications for life on this planet.
Like I said, plants don't rely solely on insects for pollination. Trees don't either. Animals, wind currents, etc do a lot of the work there. And once a tree is already planted and growing, it doesn't need insects in any way.
You're wrong. Many plants solely rely on insects for pollination as other species do not pollinate nearly as much to sustain the species. Even if a tree is planted and starts growing, it will eventually die.

one thing i will always feel guilty for were all the craneflies i killed because i was terrified that they were mosquitos the size of my palm
they aren't mosquitos ;_; how could i accuse them of that
Who cares? They're still bugs. They're still disgusting.
I'm technically an adult, but I still go out of my way to kill insects when I see them.
That's pretty damn cruel.
Insects are literally scum. They can't feel pain, they can't even think. They don't deserve to even exist on this planet.
Also, I'd like to add that insects do feel some kind of pain, as they react negatively to stimuli typically regarded as painful.

I killed a cat with a brick when I was little by smashing its skull.
The fuck is wrong with you?
It was a bad, bad cat that attacked me.
Mhm, you should probably kill yourself.
And what is the difference between killing something like a bug? You probably wouldn't give a second thought to the fact that you just ended somethings life.
Except I don't kill bugs. I take them outside.
Alright, alright, fair enough. Just fyi, I didn't actually kill a cat - it was argument fodder because most people have double standards.

Yeah, craneflies are pretty chill. They've become a rare sight where I live, so I always make sure to set them free if I spot one.

Thats not mine.
And no, I'm not
Definitely in the upper middle class at the very, very least.
My family is rich, I thought you knew this?
My mother works in London as a lawyer and my father is a doctor.
Our family is full of liars and cheats so we're rich.
I actually forgot, lol One day, I'll be rich. And I know how to get there. Y'all won't be laughing then.

Bathroom
Why?
Lots of people have this type of stuff
You forget, I have a lady in the house who stays in the bath to relax, I don't use it.
You must be a millionaire, if not a billionaire.

I'll try to make room for the blonde too. They don't need to know about each other...

yeah, like why are they killing discussion? I was actually enjoying your threads, even it was a flood
Nah man this is a thread solely about car mods
Even threads that had a whole body of text (like the animal killing one) were deleted, lmao. It's better than seeing the same necrobumped threads on the front page constantly, at least
Couldn't agree more. OT: I think large spoilers on cars make you look like a total douche
