I feel like thats not even that many roaches for a real infestation
Also doesnt mention what kind
And there are proffesionals you can call probably once to deal with that problem.
If you find a human living in your attic unbeknownst to you well
Thats a lifetime of therapy or more to deal with after dealing with the immediate problem
Roaches every time
I was going to say exactly this. 1,000 roaches is not that many roaches, can be easily dealt with, and pose no serious immediate threat.
One human could kill you and your entire family and then burn your house down.
If you see 1 roach, there’s probably 1,000 more hiding. If you see 1,000 roaches…
Then there’s only one hiding?
yeah but he’s the size of Larry Bird and he sucks at hiding
Roaches can cause respiratory problems, but I’d take that over potential murder and rape.
Also, I would be very disappointed in my dogs if they didn’t notice a person living in the attic. You can find a ball by scent–you’d better notice a person creeping around!
A person creeping around? That’s just Paul, mate. You know Paul, he’s been living in the attic for years. Stupid human, doesn’t even recognize it’s own flatmates.
Very possible thought line for one of my dogs. The other doesn’t trust anyone without endless cajoling.
Absolutely with you here. Roaches is normal at worst
fr, that person might rape and/or murder me but the roaches won’t lol
What if it’s a nice person though?
They would have asked if they could live in my attic
May I live in your attic? I’m a great cook.
No thanks its currently occupied by spiders and i dont need more roommates
I have a spider too! Her name is Bianca-Fabian.
Mine doesn’t have a name yet, but it caught that really annoying fly yesterday, which was nice.
A LIFETIME of therapy?
Does anyone know I’ve found this person?
I want to hear your answer for both options.
1000 roaches?
I’d roll them into a blunt.
No, I mean when they know you found someone and when they don’t.
If it’s not a secret, then the police can figure it out.
If it is a secret, the options are endless. I certainly wouldn’t need to pay for a house cleaner ever again.
…are you considering enslaving the person in your attic?
What?
Free person.
Think of the possibilities.
“Is anyone aware that I have located the individual in my attic?”
Both problems can in theory be solved with a flamethrower
The right amount of borax also takes care of either problem.
In practice choosing 1000 roaches would make for a legal solution (i don’t know how to survive jail)
I hate bugs, like HATE. But I watched that video of the girl living in the storage space in the ceiling. And she’d come down at night to eat food and piss in the sink… I’ll take the bugs
Thanks for making me discover that. Could’ve lived my whole life without knowing about it.
I guess the toilet would make to much noise.
It never said where she’d #2 tho… That’s what scares me most. If she’s peeing in the sink…
Well now I’m debating my answer.
For once I am glad I live in a location that I would be too hot for anything to live in my attic.
“This is truly, on god, the first “would you rather” that I’ve ever had to devote significant thought to.”
They just don’t like punctuation.
Edit, sorry @ prenupbutter@lemm.ee I meant to reply to you.
What does “on god” mean? First I’ve heard that term.
Truthfully
like, “I swear by god”, I’m guessing
They’re swearing to god that what they are saying is true. It’s phrased a bit awkwardly, I think they’ve mixed up “I swear to god” and “hand on heart” or maybe “on my mother’s life”, something like that.
Thank you!
Roaches don’t have squatters rights.
But does anyone else know you have a rando living in your attic?
You can legally kill roaches.
I mean. With roaches you could always hire an exterminator. Not so with a person.
I guess you could call the cops, they really like killing people.
Yeah that is one way of doing it.
Roaches don’t pay rent.
Depending on the skin color of the person living in your attic, you can.
They prefer to be called cops though.
People that live in attics write best selling books. I bet I could negotiate at least 60% of that profit if it was my fucking attic. Easy Choice.

Fun one. I grew up in trailers and we had roaches. Id wake up with them crawling all over. Turn on a light and up the walls they go. Now I’m a behavior therapist and I’d take the person who obviously means me no harm over skittering ass bugs. There’s nothing that says they have to stay either or that they can’t be helped :)
As someone who had bedbugs, I’d rather wrestle a person than ever see a bug in my place that isn’t a spider again.
After the summer we have been having if I found a person I my attic they would not be found living.
I hate to tell you that it’s cool enough today here that I shut my window.
damn, make sure to leave a blanket in your attic so your stranger can stay warm.
I think I’ll bring him some hot tea.
One human sized roach, or 1000 roach sized humans?
A human sized roach is big enough to just shoot. A roach-sized human could be hiding anywhere with like a poisoned needle or whatever.
Yeah, but a human sized roach has an armoured carapace which is now a few centimetres thick. Do you have a cannon with armour piercing ammunition at home? I’ll take my chances in forming an alliance with the small people.
My attic is over the detached garage, so I’d choose person hands down.
I probably wouldn’t know for a really long time, because I don’t use that space (the ladder up there is duct-taped where it cracked at some point, and since I don’t use it, I’m not about to replace it) it stays decently warm up there so less concern about finding a frozen corpse, and if someone did croak in the garage, the smell wouldn’t permanently be in the house.
But roaches would find their way into the house.
Am I the only one here who can’t work out what the second person is saying in that reply? Having a “has anyone really been far even as decided…” moment.
Paraphrased, it says: “this made me think hard because I don’t like either option”
Nothing else is important information, just sensational fluff to make a regular statement sound more exciting.
