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

yeah it's just zoomed in, discolored, and wet/squished. Poor thing. Theyre unnerving at first but once you get used to them you can think of them as eyelashes gliding around the floor.

that visualization doesn't help, at all

[โ€“] lemillionsocks 2 points 1 year ago

Theyre just winking at you across the floor ;)

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

[โ€“] Turun@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[โ€“] iesou@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Silverfish eat the glue that's used to bind books. So they're a pest to someone with a personal library.

Huh. So that's why they're found in Minecraft strongholds.

They only have six legs, so very uncool. Also, they're jumpscare experts. Chillin' on the frickin' ceiling, in packs of toilet paper, my dirty laundry bin... I despise them for it.
