Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Spider-killing sprays also kill flies, but fly-killing sprays don't kill spiders. (lemmy.world)

They're the same price at Walmart, so it pretty much always makes sense to go with the spider-spray.

The flies don't die 'on-contact' like they do with the fly-specific spray, but they do die after a brief period of delirium.

I buy this stuff (foaming glass cleaner spray). It'll clean my windows, stainless steel fixtures, screens, and kill just about every bug I spray it on (or at least knock them down/incapacitate them so I can go in for the kill squish). Only weakness is its limited spray range (though I did kill a yellow-jacket queen with it yesterday when I was outside cleaning the windows).
