Centipedes have tiny dicks. That's why they are unpopular.

Like the ones you will actually see, or the crazy giant tropical ones?




I live in the northeast in an old house with a damp basement, which is the perfect place for Scutigera coleoptrata, the house centipede. In the fall they move inside to get away from the cold, because they're originally from the Mediterranean and can't take the cold.

They are unnerving just because they move so goddamn fast, but like spiders you can learn to appreciate them. They're voracious predators that will eat far more other bugs than a spider. Lazy spiders just hang around in a corner, centipedes work for their meals.

If you see them inside all year round it means you need to clean your filthy house, you slob.

I don't know what you're talking about. My neighbors are centipedes and they're tremendously fun and popular.

They are into swapping, and get THE best leaves around.

if you tie a hammer to a broom handle/long stick you can stand 3-4 feet from the critter you are killing good for snakes.

you shouldn't kill centipedes because if you have centipedes in your house it means that they are saving you from smashing a bunch of ants and roaches and spiders and saving your house from termites and poo poo, because thats what they do. they are nature's little terminator robots from the future, sent back to provide you with pest control for free

like what kind of sissy loses their poo poo and starts throwing shoes around at the sight of the most beneficial bug that you want to have living in your home with you? man up

Prehistoric centipedes ruled even harder. For reference:

Scientists say that they were actually herbivorous. But they weren't some kinda stupid, multi-legged cow.

I also live in the northeast and get these from time to time. The worst part is when they get massively huge, then you turn around and they are on the wall at face level like 6 inches from you. And all you can do is scream like a pussy. The first time I saw one it had appeared directly under my desk and I dropped a camera lens on it, it just shrugged it off and ran into a crack at 60 mph.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Millipedes are like tiny walking bug trains and way cooler than centipedes.

I firmly disagree with Rebbie Jackson.

She may find the centipede to be hot, but I don't see it that way. To me, they're just terrifying.

Honestly, who sexualizes a centipede? What the hell is wrong with this woman?!?
