Are you farming the cockroaches for protein/milking them or something? I can't fathom any other reason why anyone would want cockroaches other that these weird cases I read about on some science magazine.

Edit: just remembered they can be used as food for pets.

That's why I always carry my tapeworm with me wherever I go!

You can have fun with your 500 closest friends

If you've got 500 you'll have 5000 in a week if they're the bad kind.

It's too late, I've already added the tag "cockroach milker" next to your username

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
