My roommate left this week, and I’ve begun a massive cleanup of my (school provided) apartment. Needless to say, it’s been neglected for a number of years and lord knows what kinds of things are here. Just five minutes ago I noticed some black case-like things hanging perpendicular to the ceiling in several rooms. They are shaped vaguely like this - (). They aren’t moving and they don’t look like they have any potential life anymore, but I hit them with raid just to be safe - since I came here my policy has become much looser - if I don’t know what it is, it’s in my apartment, and it seems buggy, I raid it. Raid first, ask questions later.
Now the more interesting question, and the reason for my post: What are they? Anybody else have a similar experience?
They’re little moth larvaes that build themsleves little grey homes made of dust and stuff. Harmless. And you murdered them. Their tiny bug souls are now on YOUR conscience. I hope the terror at the bad karma you’ve caused for yourself won’t haunt you to your grave.
Well, that’s embarassing…but honestly I don’t regret it that much. If you only knew the kinds of things I’ve found in the apartment before due to a general lack of anyone caring about it, you’d understand my reaction. Example: My previous roommate came here in 3/2006. I was cleaning the refrigerator and asked her about some scallops in it last month - she didn’t know whose they were because they’d lived here longer than her.
THAT’S exactly why it is EVIL to eat prawns.
1 cow=1 soul=many meals
6 prawns=6 souls= an appetizer
The horror, the horror. Can you hear the shrimp screaming, Clarice?
Don’t get me started about caviar.
They are usually empty too. Some have a little black wormy thing inside. Sweep em up into the recycling is what I do. They are harmless.

so by that logic it is best to eat blue whale?
“i’ll have a blue steak thanks. make mine very blue.”
didn’t you know that the soul size varies exponentially with the animal: small animals have really tiny souls. just like people really: sumo wrestlers, “world’s fattest man” contenders and linebacks have the biggest souls. and the biggest soles, too.

Clearly. Glad you get it.
