They only have six legs, so very uncool. Also, they’re jumpscare experts. Chillin’ on the frickin’ ceiling, in packs of toilet paper, my dirty laundry bin… I despise them for it.
yeah it’s just zoomed in, discolored, and wet/squished. Poor thing. Theyre unnerving at first but once you get used to them you can think of them as eyelashes gliding around the floor.
That’s a house centipede. They will leave you alone and eat lots of pests.
Thanks for taking the useful approach, rather than parroting the usual drivel
Edit It turns out they feed on bed bugs - surely that should sway a few people.
…And they can detach their legs? I want one!
Don’t worry, you already have more than one, probably hiding in the walls.
Unless you live in a high rise building…
They probably have two, regardless of where they live. Unless they are in a wheelchair.
When I lived in a concrete high-rise, I never saw any centipedes. Now that I reside in a mostly wood/drywall house, I’ve seen at least three.
I lived in that high-rise for ~4 years, I’ve lived in this house for ~1 year.
I do what I can to leave the centipedes alone so they can do their thing. We also have spiders, which are all considered bro’s in our home.
It was a joke on
The “one” can refer to both a leg, as well as a complete centipede.
I realize the joke didn’t land at all. Oh well!
From the wikipedia machine:
>They use both their mandibles and their legs for holding prey. This way they can deal with several small insects at the same time.Final boss energy
I wish I had a few of those instead of a multitude of disgusting silverfish }:
But silverfish are not bad either? They don’t carry disease.
Silverfish eat the glue that’s used to bind books. So they’re a pest to someone with a personal library.
Huh. So that’s why they’re found in Minecraft strongholds.

that visualization doesn’t help, at all
Theyre just winking at you across the floor ;)
