Rectal Death Adept posted:i figured the massive global biodiversity loss was contributing to the global phenomenon of 99.9999999999% drops in insects impacting automobiles but I guess we somehow developed aerodynamics that means a 1980s car and a 2020s car are completely different and the 2020s car just shuffles the insects, that are definitely still there, out of the way of the cars. i know that scientists don't measure insect density using the front of their cars lol im not disputing any of the research im saying that yes, they are entirely different from a 1980s car aerodynamically, in that modern cars don't absolutely guaranteed kill their entire surface area worth of bugs as they drive around because areas of laminar flow function kinda like tiny bug shoving forcefields and 80s cars did not have that & created a big dead zone of turbulence right in front of them around them which made bugs just hosed, im not saying it's a magic protection thing they just don't all rip through air like lawnmowers anymore

FirstnameLastname posted:i think an unaddressed part of this problem is the kind of assumption that animals are always crossing the road, or wandering onto it, and not that they're drawn to parts of road & hanging out on&above it because black asphalt will hold and radiate heat better than most things in most places and some animals are instinctively drawn to open, flat areas, snakes & reptiles love em for basking umm...no. the herp smash events are from seasonal migrations, and roads are fragmenting habitat.

Modern cars have laminar flow and consequently simply glide through the air touching nothing and having no impact. Thank you cars!

jetz0r posted:no, you're just a dumbass. i've been driving the same car for 17 years, the aerodynamics of it haven't changed, the bugs are all gone. You fool, you idiot. You're surrounded by modern cars with smooth sweeping curves that harmlessly deflect the insects away from the road before they can impact your bug-vortex-swallowing shitbox.

Thank you cars! you are arguing against someone you've made up in your head. thats not what i said air is real though and it does have a very drastic effect on what small flying animals will impact a car   like here, except for the red and yellow area, small bugs will likely not even touch the body  because there's a constant stream of high pressure air like this passing over it ( this is of a car going fast i couldn't find a gif a of slower speed )  whereas here, it's gonna smash every bug because of these kind of designs, which aren't done anymore, which create a big dead zone of air immediately infront of the windshield, making things smack into it without any air pushing them away at all, it actually does make a very drastic difference idk why this is so contentious lol

Offkorn posted:Do you not realize that the "red and yellow area" is the area that was once covered with bugs, but now is not? following along with more anecdotal evidence, I remember as a kid seeing tons of fireflies every summer night in the field across from my neighborhood....now it's like one or two. Totally unreplicable though, probably doesn't mean anything.

the multiple multi nation studies showing massive insect population decline are because the bug collection techniques have gotten so aerodynamic the bugs just moonwalk out

so glad modern cars are so smooth and clean so all the insects cant be hit. they should make cars so aerodynamic that when they hit a biker or a pedestrian they just harmlessly glide past them.
