Just something I was talking about with the wife this evening. She says that our house is not natural and used the phrase “out in nature”. But lots of animals build nests. And are we not animals just doing the same?

    This is the kind of shit that keeps me up at night. Thinking about all the casual horror in the world. I’ve read about these “slaver” ants that kidnap eggs from another colony only to raise them as slaves for the rest of their life. Or those wasps that lay their eggs inside other living insects which then hatch and consume the host.

    There are so so many insects on earth, so these fucked up horrors are just happening on a massive scale all the time all around us.

      Legit those exact wasps were on my mind as I wrote that nature has horrors. Creatures like that always make me think, “damn nature, you scary” lol
