niktemadur, “Fellas… we have just hit the Darwinian jackpot. Pack your things, 'cause we’re going places!”
frezik, There’s a microbe that eats silicon and is a bitch for CPU factories. At some point, it had a conversation just like this.
jol, It’s this the dad dad meme but they are bed bugs?
Kusimulkku, I’ve had them in my shared apartment, but they never got into my bud. Felt so lucky, even though the situation overall was dogshit. The nastiest thing was that the recommendation is that if you get them, that you don’t dump out your bed or even switch to sleeping somewhere else, so the bedbugs wouldn’t start moving about and spread to other apartments. Makes sense, but nasty stuff.
Smoogs, Zipper up that mattress and build a moat with diatomaceous earth. Do not have your bed touching any wall for 6 months at least.
Kusimulkku, (edited ) We obviously had professionals come in and that’s what they did to the bed where the bedbugs were. For my bed (which was free of the buggers) they didn’t put it in plastic, just gave us cups for the feet. But otherwise the same deal. Not touching walls, had the earth put in next to all the walls, no fabrics (bed stuff, clothes, anything) from the floor on the bed and so on. Also massive project of putting all the clothes to the wash and shit.
It was a massive hassle, but I’m very happy that the bugs hadn’t spread to my bed.
moistclump, Quick google search has conflicting info, 77,000 or 5,000+ years ago that we have evidence for beds.
itslilith, (edited ) wdym, 77,000 is 5000+
Jerb322, Nice…now I’m going to have to look up “what did bed bugs do before beds?”
ladicius, Nests.
hperrin, (edited ) When you’re done, look up how humans losing our body hair split the species of lice living on us into head lice and pubic lice.
superduperenigma, No thank you.
ComradePorkRoll, I’m gonna go ahead and blame you for that whole thing.
Thassodar, Calm down there, Satan.
Viking_Hippie, And how shaving, waxing etc has made pubic lice an endangered species
hperrin,
Viking_Hippie,
shalafi, There are people volunteering to “house” pubic lice to keep them from going extinct.
aidan, I don’t support all forms of biodiversity
Viking_Hippie, (edited ) Same. An uncomfortable and embarrassing parasite that preys only on humans isn’t exactly like wolves or the European Honey Bee.
Every species on earth except the lice themselves will be either better off or completely unaffected if they go extinct.
Melt, Nice, how do we extinct bed bugs?
Vespair, Shave and wax your bed, obviously
