I teach my kids not to kill bugs unless they are doing something bad or dangerous, otherwise just move them.

Killing things should not be a default action for convenience sake.

Live with roaches once. You'll change your mind.

[-] ArumiOrnaught@kbin.social 7 points 10 months ago

Tbf, roaches I feel would be covered under his "bad or dangerous" clause.

I've picked up wolf spiders before, but if there is a black widow inside I'll smash it. Can't risk them harming me or the ones I look after.

I'm no expert in bug identification. More legs = worse

[-] ArumiOrnaught@kbin.social 0 points 10 months ago

Idk man, a lot of sea bugs have more leg and I want them in my mouth.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

That's because salt and enough real competition for them to evolve meat!

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, roaches get squished.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Existing too close to me with that many legs is a crime.

Y'all think you're above the ick while you're going around trying to drag people down.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 2 points 10 months ago

Cmon now, don't really need to roleplay here

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Had just clicked away from this post when I saw you comment. I need you to know that I came back just to ensure I upvoted your post (or whatever we call those here).

[-] metaStatic@kbin.social -2 points 10 months ago

Had just clicked away and had to come back to let you know we call those pointless here.

(protip: if something is actually worth fake internet points give it a boost instead or as well)

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 2 points 10 months ago

A boost? I'm not familiar with what that is. That's not a Lemmy thing is it?

[-] metaStatic@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

it's a fediverse thing. think of it like a re-tweet.

I sometimes forget Lemmy is a totally different place. Gave you a boost, let me know if it does anything there.
