I'm sick, so I'm stumbling around my house open mouthed and gasping for air and sucked down a goddamned mosquito.

It's fucking January in the northern hemisphere. Mosquitoes should be a non-starter. Instead I'm sick, the earth is shitting the bed, and I just inhaled a fucking mosquito.

Thanks Obama.

ETA I had a piece of mosquito stuck between my gap teeth. Life is no longer worth living.

I’m so sorry. Inhaling a mosquito in January in the northern hemisphere is a death sentence. I’d give you about 5 seconds to live. Goodbye comrade.

Mosquitos were spotted in Greenland for the first time ever last year.

There are actually pretty nasty swarms of mosquitos and flies in the Greenland tundra during the summer. They love the bog. It's Iceland that didn't have mosquitos. Greenland has more native mammals to feast on

I think then it was first time in winter.

That sucks but at least you got to teach one mosquito what it’s like when the human bites back.

Spindly little fuckers screaming in your ears like a dentist drill going “open up I’m hungry” at the exact moment you feel sleep take you on an uncomfortable hot summer night.

Yeah I got beef with mosquitoes.

Yuck, but I am envious you got weather that warm for January, it's record cold here

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's been super warm here for a bit but the other shoe is supposed to drop and the temp is gonna drop by like 30c

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Where I live it's been unseasonably warm plus another oddity is it's rarely been windy. It's nice but it also feels like of weird.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

hm, lucky I guess, this weekend is going to be single digits and almost a foot of snow

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

I am so tired of it being warm

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I imagine once this cold snap ends it'll probably be like 60 in February and climate change will be like hey remember me?

if you become a mosquito monster, I just need you to know that I disavow the whole Four Pests thing
