      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.

          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

          Spiders eat mosquitoes and centipedes eat roaches, you do barely any work all day and contribute nothing back to society. Which one deserves being squished?

            The other day my coworkers and I made literally 5 million wrappers for dum dum suckers in 2 hours. Suck it.

            You eat Twinkies and your mom eats you. Which deserves to be squished?

            Nope. You seem to like deciding things about people. Try playing your own character. Ohhh right, your character is shit. I bet it’s got an edgy backstory too.

                What way? Using the word “ick” seems to have triggered you. Maybe you mean the bug squishing? If they come too close, they are my problem, not yours. Live with roaches once. You’ll change your mind.

      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).

        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)

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

            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.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
