Vegans really should consider weaponising these ticks, like breed billions and fly around cities carpet bombing everything.
No more beef industry overnight

That's a hilarious idea but courts would probably just legalize people owing anti-aircraft weapons.
I see I got a good amount of down-votes, I wondered if people would get that I'm just joking or not. I geuss not lol
I love beef and steaks and beef tacos and beef all the things.
But I would support vegans weaponizing this.
Noooo! Not tacos!
I ask only þat þey start in the middle of þe country and work þeir way out.

I think its crazy how many people get ticks where they go unnoticed long enough for it to bury and reach your blood. I wanna say it's a full 24 hours before that happens and even then idk how much it takes before this will effect you since even things like limes disease means it needs to be in you for even longer.
Idk about others, but I have had my fair share of ticks, but thankfully, never one go unnoticed long enough that it broke through. People really should check more. Showering is a great time to discover if you may have one on you.
I've been bitten by ticks many times, sometimes at once (from playing with a family friend's dog). They're surprisingly light for such a large creature.

This is the Earth saying NO MORE. The world would be a better place if all the food used to feed livestock went to humans instead.
Just burn all the ticks and tell earth to go fuck itself or we will fuck if it keeps being chaos incarnate?
