Physical attacks, as opposed to what? Chemical warfare?

Isn’t that pretty much it? You can buy chemical warfare sprays at your local store, flies aren’t covered under the Geneva convention.

Is this an AI generated response? (just asking)
Edit: No. I mean, probably, but not by google.

Certainly seems like it lol.

But can they survive temperatures above 40°C with little to no water like is what will probably happen to the majority of habitable land within the next century?

And most importantly, not worth money to humans.

That’s certainly not true. You cannot foresee the implications of all flies (i.e. the order Diptera) to go extinct. There are many that are pollinators and others (including mosquitoes (Culicidae)) that are important food source for a huge number of animals. Without flies the food web would change a lot and we don’t know what effect it would have on humans. But pretty sure that the ecosystem would be even less resilient and be more endangered to collapse.

Yeah sure, but they can’t be easily sold for money. If dead flys could be sold for money, humans would kill them to extinction, regardless of the consequences.
- flora_explora ( @flora_explora@beehaw.org ) English1•6 months ago
It is actually the other way around, many fly species are pests to humans costing them a lot of money. Flies are also the greatest killer of humans and there have been massive efforts undertaken to get rid of e.g. mosquitoes.

Ugh, fine! I’ll change it to “worth money” instead of “valuable.” Will you understand then?
It’s almost like words mean things.

Can confirm. Tried to swat a fly, but the police broke my door instead
