Mfers expecting evolution to happen in direct observable scales...

I said this the last time this was posted and I'm saying it again

"THEN MAYBE DON'T MOVE SO FUCKING FAST IT ACTIVATES MY FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE!!!"

Step 1: Obtain Cat

Step 2: Show the cat your roach infestation

Step 3: ???

Step 4: ~~Profit?~~ MEOW?

(Good for getting rid of mice, doesn't do much against roaches... 🤷‍♂️ At least the cat is warm to hold when I'm sad)

When I first moved to Taiwan, I rented an Airbnb for 3.months to find my footing in the city.

One night I slipped into bed and felt the most painful bite I have ever felt in my life. My entire leg then proceeds to swell up and puss on the site where the centipede bit.

I would rather have the cockroach.

In a related story: I met with my new housecleaning service a few days ago and told them I had one very special request: DO NOT DISTURB THE SPIDERS IN OUR BEDROOM!! They are my mosquito-munching pets; just mop the floor under them.

These mother fuckers would sometimes drop on me and my father. Creepy fast little fuckers man

They are fascinating little creatures. They have a bunch of stripes on them, even across their legs. They eat dangerous house pests. They are venomous, but their "bites" are less irritating than a mosquito bite. They also don't technically bite, they envenomate using two modified legs.

I don't have a phobia of bugs, but centipedes really do make my skin crawl.

Also, being able to post images, etc. (guess I am starting to be able to on instances I have joined (just got here in recent weeks))

I saw my first house centipede yesterday. It was kinda cute.

what animal is that?

Every time i see one I have the intense urge to vomit.

Now I have Good Charlotte playing in my head.

I honestly wouldn't care if it stayed at one or two of them, but I know if I leave these things and treat them as pets I will get an infestation in no time.

And with each new one the chances of me feeling one of them walk on my arm increases, and I am not letting that happen.

I will catch and release spiders outside but centipedes all get the boot. They are just too fast

Maybe if they could wear a suit and say thank you once in a while.

These little dudes can move 1.3 feet per second which is absolutely insane

I used to live in an apartment they sometimes showed up in and if I went to take a shower and one of them was in the tub, I would leave. The bathroom was occupied.
