Person. Odds are that they’re not as bad as media has been trying to convince us that we are; that said, 1k(^4^) cockroaches can still be managed with enough effort

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

I'm sorry but 1K^4 is a trillion cockroaches in which case you have Time Lord Technology in your attic

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

1000 half burned joints please.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Person, easily. 1k roaches means i'm bound to find another 1k all around the house on the following weeks.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Roaches don't survive in my climate, bring 'em on. (Also, millennials have no idea what it's like to own a home so what's an "attic"?)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Person, easy

If I hadn't noticed them before now, then they're a spectacular neighbor

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A person. It's your property and you can have the police come and evict them. Very easy to do.

Roaches on the other hand...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Cockroaches. You can call the secret police and have them exterminated.

On the other hand if they are in my attic I am probably gonna be exterminated too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Roaches, but I suppose enough bug bombs would work either way

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Depends. Are they sexy?

spoilerThe roaches, I mean.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I don't think these are the e621 version of roaches

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

A few hundred dollars will take care of the roach problem

The human is the biggest wild card situation yet and you're immediately going into fight or flight no matter what

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Dead or alive?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Unless the person is there to kill me they win easily

Call police they leave issue solved.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Tell me you're not black without telling me you're not black

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh absolutely, the person's relationship with the police definitely matters.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Lol.

All the person has to do to avoid arrest is be calm and assertive; if he insists that you invited him, that he paid you rent, that it's his house, here's the police response:

"That's a civil matter, you're going to have to call a lawyer."

If he's competent, he may even have a deed with the town's seal already in it. Anyone can file anything in the land records. It's up to title holders to protect their titles and clear any fraudulent entries.

While true, if they're "living" there, they're most likely in the attic or crawl space or something. Or they have no items of their own. Anything is possible and there are always outliers, but the chances are pretty low they got set up enough to convince people they're legitimately there.

P.s. going to check my basement...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

This probably feels like a type of thing that happens much more often than it actually does. But for real I'm going to go check my basement too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

1000 roaches? So like... more toys for my cat?

roach squishing noises

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

to think that there's probably someone in just about any city living with both.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

If you're living in apartments in a major city, both are already true.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

At least I know how to kill the roaches and dispose of the bodies. Plus, no one cares if I kill the roaches.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Person

Maybe if it was 10 roaches?

Person otherwise

Do we even know if this person has outside connections?

Maybe I can hire them pennies on the dollar

I would force them to do the work that I loathe doing when I web Dev, repeatedly making pages or posts or whatever, they get a home and wage I get to live happy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I live in an apartment building, I'll take the person. Roaches won't stick to the attic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have over 1000 dubia roaches in my house already. I’m going with them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

You don't have to brag about your cool friends here
