That's a house centipede. They will leave you alone and eat lots of pests.

I wish I had a few of those instead of a multitude of disgusting silverfish }:

[–] Turun@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

But silverfish are not bad either? They don't carry disease.

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!

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

…And they can detach their legs? I want one!

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!
