Ok now I'm curious about what the fuck the two centipedes I found in my basement that I thought were fucking were actually doing. They sure looked like they were fucking.

They were wrestling. Go back to bed.

"Step-centipede, what are you doing?!"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

I don't know how to boil the water ~~~

Maybe they were those queer centipedes that fuck in person. Degenerates

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago

They do it just for fun! Gross.

Don't humanize centipedes! That leads to strange and disturbing things...

There are way, way more "centipede monster girl" image results... DuckDuckGo/Google

Caterpillar girls are fine though.

Eww, making it a head tail is so much worse!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Just makes me wonder if it's a centipede girl or a centipede that ate a girl's brain and puppets her body around.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I draw the line at 8 legs.

Avatar checks out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Thanks, I hate it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Centipedussy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The head tail goes hard

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Someone has already centipedized humans. This is the next step.

I'M DOING MY PART!

Gonna put put my dick in a centipede

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

When two centipedes ~~love each other~~ are both really hungry...

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

A disappointingly large proportion of the general population appears to be unable to tell the difference between centipedes and millipedes. Is it possible that the "centipedes" you saw were actually millipedes? If so, they may have been "fucking", or at least the millipede equivalent of it.

Additionally, it appears that this "fact" is actually wrong (big surprise, huh?). Many species of centipede do have courtship strategies that involve males and females meeting up. The sexes may even employ various forms of physical touch as part of the process. So, it's certainly possible that the critters you saw where centipedes courting each other.

Assuming this is actually representative of the difference, it was definitely a pair of centipedes.

I'm not surprised in the least that at a minimum it's more complicated than the meme suggests, and now I've learned far more about centipedes than I ever wanted to. Thanks!

millepedes are gross. centipedes are scary

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Centipedes see other Centipedes as food, which is why they reproduce this way.

Source: made it up, but it seems logical. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

maybe they're just the cuddly-type except for the distancing-fucking

EDIT: I just realized this is Zizeks perfect romance as described by him stalin-stressed

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

They could have been fighting. Maybe there was a lack of available food or fluid.
