0162b — Transaction Figure / Meeting Pat Reynolds, B-takes (Patreon)

Pat's original idea for the "ethical" part of Ethical Karmicrickets had them voluntarily wandering into a small box that contained high concentrations of carbon dioxide, which gave them embolisms. Since crickets can't sense embolisms, this was officially humane, but still struck him as ethically dubious. In the end, he came up with a process wherein the hungry bugs walked into a tub of melted carob which had been labeled "Pat's," wherein the "thieving" crickets perished.
