Depends. Are they sexy?
spoiler
The roaches, I mean.
Dead or alive?
Unless the person is there to kill me they win easily
Call police they leave issue solved.
1000 roaches? So like... more toys for my cat?
roach squishing noises
At least I know how to kill the roaches and dispose of the bodies. Plus, no one cares if I kill the roaches.
I’ve had roaches before. I’d pick the person 10 out of 10 times.
Same.
I live in an apartment building, I'll take the person. Roaches won't stick to the attic.
Only a hard choice if you've never dealt with roaches. 1000 roaches is enough to convince me that the house would never be free of them ever, roaches are incredible in the way they survive and thrive. Unless you made sure you killed every single last one and their offspring, you ain't getting rid of them.
to think that there's probably someone in just about any city living with both.
I have over 1000 dubia roaches in my house already. I’m going with them.
You don't have to brag about your cool friends here
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
how friendly is the person?
Average. The roaches are also average friendliness.
Do they chip in for rent?
If you're living in apartments in a major city, both are already true.
But what would happen to the person if they're not in my attic? I wouldn't want them to get run over by a trolley.
a person, I only have to exterminate one large thing vs 1000 tiny things that could potentially crawl up my pee hole in my sleep.
no thanks.
How wide is your urethra that a roach can fit up there?
doesn't matter, they love warm moist dark cracks.
that's why they're called cockroaches
No it isn't. Cockroach is derived from the Spanish "cucaracha" which comes from "cuca" which means "butterfly caterpillar" and is apparently onomatopoeic in origin.
Also the idea of them crawling into your urethra is a myth like earwigs and ears.
I don't speak Spanish I only know American and I know we call them cockroaches.
idk how narrow Spanish urethras are, but it's a real problem over here in the USA. I've had to put tape on the tip of my penis when I go to sleep since I can remember just to keep the little cocksuckers out of my penis.
Hey I learned this earlier today! Entomology is so interesting.
You can kill one person. You can’t kill 1000 roaches.
Bro, it's not a CEO, they have human rights.
But what if they are 🧐
In that case I definitely choose the 1000 roaches

as someone that has a person living in their attic ... FOR FREE, RUPERT ... I would say neither.
Depends on the person....
oh yeah, i would let David Attenborough live in my attic any day of the week.
Someone who just desperately needed shelter? Okay, fine. Someone who is caked in their own waste, with insane ramblings scrawled across their skin in blood? Uh, bring on the roaches, I guess.
Considering the overlap between homelessness and untreated mental disorders, sadly both of your descriptions are likely to fit the potential attic-dweller.
Right, "just" is carrying a lot of weight here
One might expect 1000 roaches in the attic; ain't nobody expecting a person.
Person. Charge retroactively for rent
