At least you don't have to explain roaches to the cops.

I love these! My favorite one is, “if you were forced to shove a whole pineapple up your ass, as a matter of life and death, would you insert it top or bottom first?”

Keep in mind, you’ll need to get it back out once it’s in.

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 59 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Bottom first. The leaves would serve as a flared end and a handle. You’d want it to be ripe-ish I imagine. Ripe enough to have a little give, but not ripe enough that the leaves come out too easily.

Pineapples also come in different sizes, I’ve seen some homegrown ones posted on Lemmy that seem…manageable.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 31 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Just keep in mind that the hard, pointed spikes on the outside face up, so you’ll be pulling it out against them.

If you do top first you get the harder part over with, and then have plenty of blood to lubricate the way out.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 22 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

It’s a horrific image but it’s the right way to go. You’ll simply never, under any circumstances, make it work the other way.

I mean it won’t work either way but if you don’t fucking die by the end of it at least you could theoretically get patched up.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

The human anus can stretch up to 7 in. (18 cm.) before taking damage.

The average pineapple is 6 in. (15 cm.) in diameter.

You got this.

Phrasing it like that means death is still a choice.

Why's that?

The roaches. At least you know their true nature, not surprising to find them there and, in days of high frustration, one can go up and stomp a few for that crunchy sound of bug demise.

[–] jettrscga@lemmy.world 24 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Look at this guy, he doesn't comprehend the true nature of man or like human crunch.

No way, you won't be able to get the roaches out nearly as easy as the person

Sounds like you've never had the misfortune of being somewhere with a roach infestation.

Only a hard choice if you've never dealt with roaches. 1000 roaches is enough to convince me that the house would never be free of them ever, roaches are incredible in the way they survive and thrive. Unless you made sure you killed every single last one and their offspring, you ain't getting rid of them.

You can kill one person. You can’t kill 1000 roaches.

a person, I only have to exterminate one large thing vs 1000 tiny things that could potentially crawl up my pee hole in my sleep.

no thanks.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

How wide is your urethra that a roach can fit up there?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 27 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

doesn't matter, they love warm moist dark cracks.

that's why they're called cockroaches

I’ve had roaches before. I’d pick the person 10 out of 10 times.

person, though a much more difficult encounter it'd probably cost nothing to get them out of there, and the likehood of them coming back is much lower. all it'd take for the roaches to come back is the exterminator missing 2 or 4 of them

You can solve both problems by throwing 5 bug bombs in there

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's my understanding that gel works better, that bug bombs just make them scatter to other units if you live in an apartment building.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (5 children)

It's hard to apply the gel as they may fight back, but gassing them is a better bet, unless they have a gasmask. But in that case I guess they may also have a knife, so the gel is still a nogo.

[–] voldage@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Jesus you folks must have wild roaches in Denmark. Sounds like "don't go out at night" or "make sure your gun is loaded before entering the woods" kind of thing. Stay safe.

A few hundred dollars will take care of the roach problem

The human is the biggest wild card situation yet and you're immediately going into fight or flight no matter what

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 13 points 4 weeks ago

A person, unless the way I found out is they're trying to murder me and/or my family.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Um person, absolutely no question.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

At least I might be able to reason with them and offer food and comfort. Roaches are just like "hey there, see you in your ventilation system!".

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 12 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

as someone that has a person living in their attic ... FOR FREE, RUPERT ... I would say neither.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 weeks ago

Person. Charge retroactively for rent

[–] Apepollo11@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

A dead person, preferably - although it would be a little surprising for me as I live in a new-build.

[–] Apepollo11@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

On second thought, using that caveat 1000 dead roaches would be better.

A person. It's your property and you can have the police come and evict them. Very easy to do.

Roaches on the other hand...

A person because if they've been living in my attic then they must be harmless. Still calling the cops though.

Easy, roaches. I assume there are already at least 1000 in my attic.

Person, easy

If I hadn't noticed them before now, then they're a spectacular neighbor

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 8 points 3 weeks ago

Person, easily. 1k roaches means i'm bound to find another 1k all around the house on the following weeks.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 weeks ago

1000 persons.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

The person is a lot easier to get rid of.

But what would happen to the person if they're not in my attic? I wouldn't want them to get run over by a trolley.
