This might be a terrorist.
This might be an author.
This might be an autistic person.

In one scenario, there is a future where people will cry "we could have prevented this tragedy". In another, that is one reason why autistic folks are being side-eyed, and that makes me sad.

Autism is not an excuse for what they are saying any more than it was an excuse for Elon Musk to do a Nazi salute.

Most autistic people I know have a very strong moral code that they will not deviate from.

Sure, this guy might be autistic, but his behavior here is not because of autism.

Having a specific interest in what poisonous/venomous creature they can breed in large quantities has nothing to do with moral in codes, and yet will get you looks.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I have no idea why you think wanting to breed venomous insects in large quantities has anything to do with autism.

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why does he need an excuse for asking about breeding dangerous animals?

Honest question.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not suggesting he needs an excuse, I'm suggesting that saying he's doing it because he has autism is bullshit.

I understood that reference!

And she definitely would have some good ideas :)

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Well what's the answer?

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Black windows are pretty common. You could also try some of the larger centipede and scorpion varieties, though they may not always be lethal to everyone, they can still be considered very dangerous.

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but those aren't insects.

they're glass

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, they're arachnids. Insects generally have six legs and bodies in three segments. Spiders generally have eight legs and bodies in two segments.

[–] 9bananas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh yeah...i just realized i mixed up insects and invertebrates...

well that's a dumb mistake!

thanks!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This particular invertebrate forgives you. I have trouble telling you folks from lemurs.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Brown recluse spiders as well

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

The larger the scorpion the less dangerous its venom.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Black widows usually do not kill humans.

They also are not aggressive. If you don't fuck with them, they won't bite you. There are much more venomous spiders. Like the Sydney funnel-web spider, the most venomous spider in the world. And of course it's in Australia.

Are mosquitoes and viruses OK ? I'm sure bill gates can help you.
