What would a world without rats and roaches be like? Better or worse?

worse
/thread

Much worse. Important parts of food chains and can play very important roles. We think of them so badly as they happen to thrive through our waste so have become over represented in their positions in the world and nature.

roaches are also very diverse and the world would have a lot of beautiful creatures ripped from it if all roaches were wiped out.

A world without rats for raptors and snakes would be like a world without cows or chickens for humans. There are birds and lizards that feed on roaches too.

Rats are based. Perfect life teaching material for kids.
"Here are rats, cuddly smart pets, lab sufferers for our future, food for wild or captive birds and snakes, but still trying to fight off a bigger predator given a chance, food stockpile pests to get rid of, lethal decease vector, one of the few on the way to develop opposable thumbs [...]" Ok now I'm making shit up but all this is rats.

Everything has its place

Take away wolves from a forest and the deer will eat all the vegetation near the river that will cause the temperature to rise which means less fish, and that's without going down the entire rabbit hole of effects

If you took them out now, bad.
If the world came to somehow not have rats or roaches, I'm sure some other critters would fill their functions.

I don't mind rats but I could sure do without roaches and mosquitos. Birds can get fucked.

You can't /thread yourself. Fucking moron

twas a joke

Better. The idiots in this thread only think that one organism requires to feed on a specific food, hence why we haven't eradicated mosquitos yet even though there is already a diverse amount of substitutes for food.

Nice crop, why would you crop out the jews and niggers?

And they'd be more destructive, most likely.

They eat waste. No roaches or rats? More flies, ants and other waste-eaters. I'd rather have rats and roaches than more of those two.

Some things you have to live with. Like black ants or red ants. If you kill all the black ants, red ones will move in.

The real question is would the world be better off without wasps and mosquitoes?

>>2407745
No.
Wasps are major pollinators too, and mosquitoes are important food for insectivores.

Need wasp to kill those pesty cabbage worm.

>>2407411
Is there an one animal that the world WOULD be better off without? Or at the very least, the effect of their loss would be negligible enough that we could cope with it?

Communism.

Jews and Turks will not be missed

Probably one species with like 20 members that lives next to a hydrothermal vent or something.
