If you're old enough to remember, it's a little unsettling and strange. (lemmy.world)

Is this maybe to do with aerodynamics? My friend has a flat-fronted van and has to clean the insects off pretty frequently.

No. There is considerably less insects.

Drive a early 90s Jeep Cherokee to work right now. 50 miles each way. There are less bugs.

Many places have mosquitoes commissioners. An elected official for such.

Note back in that time period though some areas such as Florida had a giant population of love bugs. They were an attempt by us to reduce mosquito population. The love bugs eat mosquitoes so they figured let's breed and release a bunch of them to kill them off. It backfired, the population didn't decrease much and the love bugs popped up twice a year in large numbers for about a decade, and slowly died out. (I'm sure some still exist, but they don't plague the areas in such large numbers anymore)

Yeah most modern cars have developed from tech of F1/IndyCar/NASCAR for a while now. It's why you see slatted mirrors and side air intake/outtakes nowadays.

And here I am driving a Wrangler that's less aerodynamic than a cow...

Once I was 100% sure a bird was going to hit me straight in the windshield, but it just sort of slid around the car in a cushion of air.

Still getting worse, is it? I think we're probably fucked at this point.

Remember who fucked us. They have names and addresses.
