    We know what you’re thinking but this does not want to kill you

    Says who? Maybe it desperately wants to but mother nature simply hasn’t given it a mechanism for doing so. Yet.

    edit: who is the one downvote – do you know something we don’t? are you the beetle whisperer? I want to hear this dissent more than you could know.

      @cornshark@lemmy.world is apparently the one person who downvoted this for some reason

      I always assume if I get just one downvote on a post mixed with a bunch of upvotes, it probably is an involuntary downvote, like when you scroll and hit the button without noticing.

        that may be, but the headcanon of someone going “no, actually, I have communed and become one with the beetles and they are totally chill” is funnier to me

        For me, it’s the opposite: I assume anything with enough upvotes will eventually be downvoted by somebody for whatever reason they may have.
