Distracted Posted October 24, 2014 I found ants in my kitchen. I killed every single one I saw by hand so they could not tell the others that there is food here. I only realized what I had done after they were all dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiscoStu Posted October 24, 2014 interesting, the thought i had just now was "if it weren't for smallpox, how successful would the Europeans have been in eliminating the natives of the various countries they invaded?" what sort of world would we be living in if smallpox never existed?

-RC- Posted October 24, 2014 I have had the exact same experience, well very similar at the least. As a result I am now down to 'not conscious enough to know I've stomped you as I walk death'. Except if you're a fucking bull ant, red or black, and I even have the vaguest suspicion you could some day bite one of my kids. If so you're fucking dead. http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_ants/images/wpeA4.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Berengar Posted October 24, 2014 My house is now pretty much infested with spiders as I'm too much of a tree-hugging pussy to kill them or damage their webs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolname Posted October 24, 2014 ^ I have had a little spider living above my bed for the last month or so. I named him peter parker and sometimes feed him flies. But now there are eggs in his web so I guess he is actually a she Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strontium Dawg Posted October 24, 2014 I let the spiders be, except those white tailed fuckers, they're bold and I consider their incursions into my territory an act of aggression. What really pisses me off is the orb spinners that weave their webs at face height right outside my back door. They get me every fucking time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watertrade Posted October 24, 2014 The ants are only a few individuals of a larger colony. I keep bees and consider a few deaths from squishing just part of social insect life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Distracted Posted October 25, 2014 For a few years I lived with a vegan and a vegetarian. They had a thing where every mosquito they killed when they were sitting outside would be put into a small specimen jar. Over a few years they ended up almost filling the jar. Towards the end the ultimate win was to only injure the mosquito and then put them in the jar still alive to die with his fellows. edit: I used to enjoy showing it to people and telling them it was salvia.

coolname Posted October 25, 2014 Distracted, that is awesome. please tell me someone smoked some of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Distracted Posted November 12, 2014 Nah i'm not an asshole, no-one actually smoked it they just got excited. My car drove over a foot long blue tongue lizard yesterday. There was no intention or direction, the death was indiscriminate but it still made me feel sad. edit: saw some ants in my kitchen again today, salvaging a drip from a frozen beverage. I decided not to kill them all, just about 3 or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderIdeal Posted November 13, 2014 wish I could get rid of the geckoes infesting my home..... start by reducing the amount of lit surfaces at night, eg turn out your lights. artificial surfaces and lighting is their perfect hunting ground, almost anywhere in the world that you find those things you'll find indonesian geckos (so i have read). i wish i could get rid of the single half-starved, half-dead gecko stalking my domicile. he, or she (i've only ever spotted a sly head poking out of the air conditioner) sometimes wakes me up with a pathetic "chuck......... chuck............... chuck..... *sigh*" right near my bed at inappropriate times.
