      I’ve laughed about jokes concerning dead babies.

      Shame you didn’t like the joke, though, taste does differ.

      But I think you conflate the joke with somebody harming an animal, it’s not proven that anyone did that in this instance.

          To be honest I never would have considered that somebody actually taped a live insect to something, just on feasibility alone, before these comments

      Neither am I. But the post is done, and I can’t under it. For the sake of my sanity I’m going to assume that: A. It was already dead B. nobody would do this because they would actually do this and even if it was alive it was just for the picture. Not that they actually left it playing music for 12 hours

    Aren’t their noises a mating calls? You should’ve played a porno to it. Or a romantic commedies? Not sure what would be the best equivalent

      Baby shark on repeat for 12 hours is the end result of a successful mating call, so I don’t really see the problem here…

      The normal thing to do is just make a recording of you screaming “LET’S FAAAAAAUUUUU-UUUUUU-UUUUUUUU-UUK!!” Boost the bass and yeet that little fucker into a subwoofer with it on max blast for a few hours.

      Tangential thought on mating calls:

      Imagine when I’m alone & sexually frustrated I just step outside and let out shrill continuous screeching bursts of noise until a man descends upon me and inserts his penis into my vagina.

      Wouldn’t life be so much easier this way?

      Why must humans make mating such a complex psychological game involving money & cosmetics & material possessions & status & mental manipulation

      Why can’t we just go outside & scream?

      June beetles will get on your screens and vibrate, making a creepy noise people sometimes think is a cicada.

      We have mockingbirds that, when they become sexually mature, scream in atonal bleats all night long. You can’t chase them off, they’re in the trees and roofs. So you just lie awake, imagining a drone that could automatically fly around and shoot them.
