serious questoin but why do bugs and vegetation still exist if evolution is truth? Don't tell me that they aren't experiencing "evolutionary pressure" because vegetation and bug are getting genocided left and right and most species are going extinct and they suck at survival, therefore how can evolution even be true ? not even joking m8
>pic unrelated, but if you can explain it using science that would be good too because asian girls are important to my research (soy milk chemistry)

Probably due to diet changes. Western food and red meat have been increasing in consumption over the decades in Japan. Basically giving the women with the genetic disposition for growing large breasts the fat they need to fill them.
>being this much of a fucking idiot
Consumption of soy causes increased estrogen levels in the body leading to more pronounced feminine characteristics. The japanese love them some soy. Its also the reason japanese men are known for their tiny dicks.
Simple answer: living things CAN and DO evolve, but don't HAVE to evolve if they can thrive in their ecological niche as they are. It is the destruction of the ecological niches that is leading to extinction as the destruction is happening much faster than evolution can adapt, if it even can depending on the amount of destruction.
Some plants are poisonous or have their edible parts out of reach of animals
Many bugs are poisonous to other bugs and they also have enormous amounts of offspring and very short reproductive cycles

Are you talking about evolutionary pressure from all the crazy exploits of humans? Evolution happens on HUGE timescales and depends on the rate a thing reproduces at. This is why we hear so much about superviruses and whatnot evolving to match our medical innovations, viruses and bacteria reproduce far faster than bugs and plants in orders of magnitude.
There are at least some non-bacterial examples, though. Bed bugs in New York have apparently developed an immunity to pesticide, so bed bugs are recently a problem again, and similarly the Algerian mouse has also developed an immunity to common mouse pesticides.

You are misunderstanding what "evolutionary pressure" does. The "fittest" for one environment might be radically different than that of another. Is a tiger more fit than a penguin? Not in antarctica it isn't!
Also, evolution tends to work with groups of species, not just one at a time. Mammals can't live without plants, so mammals that kill all the plants won't survive. Mammals that help spread vegetation will do much better in the long run. If you are a plant, and the humans like your seeds, they are going to plant you all over the world! Inter-species cooperation is highly successful.
Bugs are thriving because humans have made fast-changing environments and bugs, with their short lifespans, can adapt well to that. Whatever works, thrives.
Meanwhile, humans risk turning the Earth into something unable to support human life. Life forms that destroy their own environment won't survive.
>Bed bugs in New York have apparently developed an immunity to pesticide
Excuse me?
Because they successfully reproduce you absolute moron?
>Because they successfully reproduce you absolute moron?
Nonsense. Bugs and vegetation certainly did not produce OP.

Yo'ure, very, funny, just; because. I: missed, a; small! bit? of, punctuation.

And then the new Hitomi Tanaka was born.
But probably fake because no name.
extinction happened all throughout earth's history, but humans wont survive too much longer after the bugs and vegetation
Life doesn't exist to evolve into a niche. Life exists to reproduce. If the reproduction is successful, it passes on those traits. If it goes on long enough, traits beneficial to survival become emphasized. You can't tell me "bugs suck at survivial" if they keep reproducing. By definition they do not suck at survival there.
Also bugs and vegetation reproduce at rates you can't comprehend. We also intentionally cultivate vegetation. I guess if your OP had examples of bugs being "genocided left and right" there might be something to discuss.
i just had a vision that this is what an average post on Veeky Forums looks like in the year 4000.
there would probably be hundreds of memes coded in that simple message, maybe even a rare pepe if you knew the right cipher
imagine the possibilities
So a species needs 'evolutionary' pressure on it to force it to adapt but the pressure has to be extremely weak, subtle -- virtually nonexistent, and it has to last millions of years otherwise the species will go extinct before it has time to "evolve" into another species?
And you guys actually believe this shit?
why do teeth still exist if already ate
>bugs and vegetation are like teeth
Stupendous!
Bugs can literally fly. Can you do that yet? Now who's more evolved?
Plants collect energy from the Sun. Can you do that? No, you have to crawl around in the dirt looking for scraps or you'll run out of energy and fucking die even though there is abundant energy all around you in the form of sunlight.
