Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Disease carrying mosquito species

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

How nice would that be if humanity stopped existing...

None. And we’re hurting badly from the ones that have already been removed.

Obviously worms in general are needed, but any big group of mainly parasitic ones I could happily delete without a second thought. Ideally let's also destroy any records of their existence.

I could do without those hammerhead fuckers. They're invasive in our area, eat the regular earthworms, and really hard to kill.

If I had to choose one I’d choose one of the ones that’s already going extinct so I could disrupt as few ecosystems as possible

Alternately, is there an invasive species that harms the ecosystems it invades and doesn’t have a non-invasive counterpart? Maybe domesticated cats?
