On the Human skin are living more creatures of these, than existing Humans on Earth. For example, these are running across your face right now without you noticing. All of us have these maskots.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

This is triggering a phobia in me. I don't want to imagine them creeping on me.

Are these the things I was told are beneficial as a kid?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

They feed on dead skin cells and prevent infections. Yes, most of them are beneficial, just like those that live inside us. Although naturally there are also harmful ones, although they are usually the exception. This is why don't Panic knowing that bacteria and bugs like these account for several kilos of our weight. Its benefit is noted among others in digestive disorders and other side effects after treatment with antibiotics, which unfortunately also kills them..

Micrographs are awesome. My favourite is the tapeworm with false colour that looks like a methhead https://i.redd.it/97oiw37koff21.jpg

Also, unfortunately, it reminds me of this heinous thing: https://twitter.com/suzuya_96/status/1501884233656467459?lang=en

Looks like a goofy Micro Walrus.

Insects up close creep me out. It's good humans are bigger than insects. I don't want to see human-sized insects.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

As CO2 levels increase, plants will grow faster and put out more oxygen. This will allow insects to absorb enough oxygen to increase to prehistoric sizes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Understood, kill the plants it is!
