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.

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

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

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

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

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, roaches get squished.

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

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

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
