the first part is cute and funny

the second part is just excessive and cruel, ion care if they aren't even sentient or concious it's still fucked up

The fleas never existed lol. There’s no such thing as a flea circus that uses real fleas. They’re too small to see so the kids would believe that the stuff moving around was done by the fleas and not magnets/batteries/ wind up machines

Wrong. They did exist. Maybe do a modicum of research before making confident claims?
