It's a common house centipede.

Generally good critters. They do bite though.

I know they're generally harmless (they eat bugs and won't bite you if you leave it alone) but they make my skin crawl and I can't help but kill them with extreme prejudice when I find one.

The big thing for me is it's a sign there are bugs for them to eat in your walls or house.

If it has more appendages than I do, I immediately dislike it.

You're just jealous that you don't have than many limbs.

[โ€“] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

I actually wonder if it becomes possible, how many people will get more hands

Nope, dogs and I both have four limbs, my tail is just on the front.

I'm not sure whether I would prefer your reply to mean that you have mutant tail on the front of your body or that you believe dogs do not have dicks.

Pick one, I'm happy with either lol.

Third option is he is comparing himself to a female dog

My person, arms and legs are both appendages. But now that you mention it.. is a trail an appendage?

[โ€“] ahal@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We got tail bones too, close enough.

Same. Just seeing one makes me gag. My physical response to them is wild, and I WILL kill it.

[โ€“] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same. They're just too damn creepy to let live.

[โ€“] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago

Or at least, it was.

Not only do they bite, they are venomous. So if one does manage to bite you, it will hurt like a bitch.

On the other hand, one will most likely not bite you.
