Which insect or animal mutation would you care to deal with if man created?
With all that goes on with scientific experiments, environmental pollution, etc, if certain insects or animals were affected in negative ways, which would you want to deal with? If by some mishap of man mosquitoes grew to be as large as seagulls and swarmed in aggressive packs would you care to deal with them? If not those, how about ants that grew to the size of pinto beans and had an appetite for metal, any metal other than gold or any metal blended with gold; the metal in vehicles would be food? The last choice of mutations would be pigeons that would drop acid poop that was powerful enough to eat through metal, concrete, stone, etc, and would burn through clothe, leather, wood, etc, like a hot knife through soft butter. Recap, you choices are:
• Aggressive swarming mosquitoes the size of seagulls.
• Ants the size of pinto beans that feast on any metal not of gold or gold alloy.
• Pigeons whose defecation is a severe and powerful acid capable of eating through almost anything.
Which mutation would you rather deal with due to environmental pollution or contamination, or some science experiment that escape the lab or when erratic?

Instead of answering, I will “question the question”...do I have to choose?
Seriously. All of these choices sound horrible.
The fried chicken or HUGE turkeys from south park… I would have glorious battle with them. Just remind me to bring the shake and bake and let me borrow someone’s bat’leth.
I think I would rather deal with your ill informed imagination, thus cutting these horrors off at the source!
I’ll play.
Pigeons. Because we don’t many of them in Florida (more finches and doves here) and also because fuck New Jersey.
As long as we also have cows that give beer instead of milk I am happy enough to deal with all three.
@Neodarwinian I was going to say the same, but then thought of previous discussions where I tried to accomplish that. Based on the evidence provided by those attempts, it should prove much easier dealing with any of the 3 hypothetical mutant animals than implementing your solution will prove to be. But good luck. :-)
Super geese, the size of Elephants, that I will create, to honor my darling chinese geese I have loved for 15 years. Look out world, mega-goose is coming. Able to projectile wipe out anything in their path with super goose poo, beaks with the strength of steel and a wing punch that will knock you on your ass. All of these amazing features while also being a ship of feathers that you can ride into battle on.
Joan of Honk is coming!
Hmm…
Okay… I’ll go for the ants. They seem nasty enough, but in the end we can work around that.
We could put a little gold in those metals we cannot shield, use ceramics and plastics for parts and just in case we really need to use metal, we can shield it from the buggers.
Hell, if I can keep ants out if the sugar where we live right now, hiding metal should be easy as cake.
…dude, seriously, what the fuck are you on? Acid pigeon shit? LOL this question is awesome. XD
But seriously, I wouldn’t want to deal with any of this. But if I have to…either the mosquitoes, or the ants. Due to Earth’s current gravity, insects can never be much bigger than they are, because the way they’re built, if they were bigger, they would get flattened to the ground and couldn’t move, and would eventually die under their own weight. At least this is something I remember reading in a book about dinosaurs long ago. So, if this is true, hopefully the mutation wouldn’t know this, and these big mutated insects would be helplessly pinned down.
But if the mutation covers this, I’d deal with the ants. If they’re only interested in metals as you suggest, then that would give humans a fighting chance against them since they wouldn’t think of going after us. The mosquitoes would, and we’d be done for in a heartbeat. And the pigeons wouldn’t come after us, but everything would melt when they took a dump. Well maybe the pigeons wouldn’t be so bad, if you lived in a place where there aren’t any, or not many. Still, the ant bears.
I’d go for the mosquitoes. Seriously, what could be more satisfying than blasting them out of the sky with the Remington 1100? Blam! Splat! Thud! .
Let’s eat!
The pigeons will eat the mosquitos and the ants… and we can eat the pigeons. Squab.
@talljasperman Great answer. I like the way you think. Humans hunt and eat orcas, for chrissakes! We’re going to fear pigeons?
@longgone Instead of answering, I will “question the question”...do I have to choose?
Seriously. All of these choices sound horrible.
What challenge would there be or thinking one would have to do if they could bypass all those choices and chose what was behind door number four; when they put what was behind there back there? If you told a 6yr old you can have the choice of spinach, liver, or okra or you can choose another dish of your desire, don’t you think most (if not all) would choose ice cream, cake, or candy?
@Neodarwinian I think I would rather deal with your ill informed imagination, thus cutting these horrors off at the source!
You don’t have enough money to take up my time for me to deal with it in a way to make you happy. If the question is so repugnant to you, why did you read it, much less take time out of your precious day to answer it; if it were the reverse I would not waste my time on a question of yours I could care less about (hint, go back and see how many of your questions I actually commented on). Sorry for your bad luck if the question got under your skin, but you got more lurve on way to your next mansion so you did not leave empty handed. Just wait for the next question you would not like from and ill informed imagination and read and comment on it to, it must be addicting because you keep coming back~.
@whitenoise Innovative, I like the though process you used there. :-D
@Symbeline …dude, seriously, what the fuck are you on? Acid pigeon shit? LOL this question is awesome. XD
Ahhh……then my day is advanced. Maybe Neo should challenge your train of thought for the better.
And the pigeons wouldn’t come after us, but everything would melt when they took a dump.
But they could be skeet shooter’s dream; they may even explode when the buckshot hit them.
@LuckyGuy Seriously, what could be more satisfying than blasting them out of the sky with the Remington 1100?
Well…..large pigeon coops could be built. Then they could entice the pigeons to take up residence in them. Charge hunters an admission fee and let them loose in there with belt-fed 30cal electric mini guns, just tell them to be sure not to get crapped on. That way you get the pigeons and pay for the clean up operation at the same time.
But if the pigeons are normal sized, and the ants and mosquitoes much bigger, how are the pigeons going to eat them? And eat those pigeons? With acid poop?
@Hypocrisy_Central
” go back and see how many of your questions I actually commented on ”
I think I have asked one question, so you were not missed.
.” If the question is so repugnant to you ”
Try silly and ill posed and I think you need to know that.
” because you keep coming back~.”
Just as long as you keep being you!!
The rest of that blather is not worth addressing but keep it coming as you are a great source of amusement for me here in this land of ” social networking! ”
Bye until your next foray into fantasy land!
@Neodarwinian Bye until your next foray into fantasy land!
Bye, until you need some entertainment, obviously you have not been able to think of anything that would entertain a redacted, so I will take up the slack.
(all that was before was not worthy of any more of my time, I have other questions to field that you need to quip about)
@Hypocrisy_Central I don’t really understand your response. I suppose you’re simply saying “play the game”?
If I had to choose, I’d go for the ants or the pigeons, depending on how much time there would be to prepare. The ants sound less threatening, but pigeons seem easier to control.
