Nice...now I'm going to have to look up "what did bed bugs do before beds?"

[-] [email protected] 96 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

When you’re done, look up how humans losing our body hair split the species of lice living on us into head lice and pubic lice.

No thank you.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

And how shaving, waxing etc has made pubic lice an endangered species

[-] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

Nice, how do we extinct bed bugs?

[-] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago

Shave and wax your bed, obviously

There are people volunteering to "house" pubic lice to keep them from going extinct.

I don't support all forms of biodiversity

Same. An uncomfortable and embarrassing parasite that preys only on humans isn't exactly like wolves or the European Honey Bee.

Every species on earth except the lice themselves will be either better off or completely unaffected if they go extinct.

The Lice nation lived in unity, until one day humanity suddenly changed and caused discord in the United Colonies.
Ever since that moment ,division only grew stronger. Unity is a thing of the past, Pubic nation envies the Hair resources, war is inevitable.

I'm gonna go ahead and blame you for that whole thing.

Quick google search has conflicting info, 77,000 or 5,000+ years ago that we have evidence for beds.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

wdym, 77,000 is 5000+

[-] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago

So between 77,000 and 5,000 years, that narrows it down quite a lot.

In the grand scheme of things, it really does

Wow! But the world is only 2024 years old… /s

I'm part of the beds before earth movement.

Flowers have had beds for millions of years

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

I've had them in my shared apartment, but they never got into my bud. Felt so lucky, even though the situation overall was dogshit. The nastiest thing was that the recommendation is that if you get them, that you don't dump out your bed or even switch to sleeping somewhere else, so the bedbugs wouldn't start moving about and spread to other apartments. Makes sense, but nasty stuff.

Zipper up that mattress and build a moat with diatomaceous earth. Do not have your bed touching any wall for 6 months at least.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

We obviously had professionals come in and that's what they did to the bed where the bedbugs were. For my bed (which was free of the buggers) they didn't put it in plastic, just gave us cups for the feet. But otherwise the same deal. Not touching walls, had the earth put in next to all the walls, no fabrics (bed stuff, clothes, anything) from the floor on the bed and so on. Also massive project of putting all the clothes to the wash and shit.

It was a massive hassle, but I'm very happy that the bugs hadn't spread to my bed.

There's a microbe that eats silicon and is a bitch for CPU factories. At some point, it had a conversation just like this.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

It's this the dad dad meme but they are bed bugs?
