Will it consume leftists without being killed by the slime?
Does it do congresscritters easily and without pause?
Send me a truckload.

Is there any chance that they could be implanted with AI? I’m looking for Tremors meets The Terminator.

Nope.

I find healthy click beetle larvae in piles of dirty plastic dust in my basement shop. A little plastic, a little whitewash, they’re as happy as can be.

[What could possibly go wrong ]? Umm, let's see, they could incubate them in Wuhan? Can you say, “unintended consequences” fast, three times?

This is Washington Post? Where is the mention of racism, homophobia and the legacy of slavery?
To: 11th_VA
Sounds good on paper but inevitably these creatures get released into an environment and end up as an invasive species.
Imagine plastic eating parasites being released at an oil refinery. Or a nuclear power plant. Doesn’t sound like much but it could be a major disaster.
