That's the scary part though, I don't get any more bugs hitting the windshield while travelling. Used to need to wash it after arriving but now they are just gone... We completely fucked up the environment
- Sad thing is, anybody still not worried by, or unconvinced of, this being our fault also likely sees this as very good news.
- I think it might be two things. Less bugs, and more aerodynamic cars. My last car almost had zero bugs on the windshield the 10 years I had it. My car now gets a decent amount every time I go on the highway.
  
  I mean, its very likely we live in different places. As an aerospace engineer though, I dont remember any revolution happening to aerodynamics in the past 10 years, I even used the same model car back then and newer version more recently with minimal changes to the exterior

A deer hit my car once. And that is the right phrasing. It slammed into my moving vehicle which was moving at a 90 angle to its path. I had no choice in the matter.
- Lol yes of course. At this point posting that is very akin to blaming me for how society exists in its current form, like that famous cartoon. "Curious, you participate in society yet disagree with it"
  I have built my life around avoiding driving in the years since this incident for a million reasons, so you're preaching to the choir.

I said the same thing about that firefighting plane that hit that drone. The drone was just hovering there when that idiot pilot flew a fucking plane into it.

It’s good to have an alternate perspective. But this one is pretty bad. Cars and freeways are terrible. But many “bugs” aren’t so great either. Carrying diseases like malaria, destroying trees and crops. Infecting other animals. Then to anthropomorphize them and talk about their “families”, just seems like an odd analogy. Maybe one could make a similar analogy about viruses.
- Humans also carry diseases and destroy the landscape and each other. By your logic, we shouldn't care about anyone dying, or try to empathize with anything outside of ourselves. Seems like a sad perspective, IMO.
- I am not seeing where you understand other perspectives here
