I read this for a second as "neurotypical cockroaches". Like "are there neurodivergent ones??"

As somebody who remembers waking up with cockroaches crawling on him as a child strong agree.

Like my mom always taught me, don't get into the back of a stranger's van, not even if they offer you pretty blue cockroaches.

Bright colours = deadly. Potentially gets you high with just the right amount.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But what if they were blue?

Sorry your dealing with that!

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

I would still kill them. cockroaches carry disease.

I think I've read there where like 4000 cockroach species and only 30 that were invasive in human homes, mostly from just 3 genera. The rest only live in the wild, where they hardly bother anyone.

When you say you're dealing with it, you don't happen to mean you just have an infestation, and the thing you're doing about it is being sad about it?

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

killing them, fumigation, finding the source. i live in an apartment complex. a big one. i have never seen them this bad
