A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
What Kind of animal is this?
House centipede
does it bite
Nope!
Ackshually, it stings, its forcipules aren't a part of its mouth 🤓
But when it comes to humans, it's in reaction to a threat (someone mentioned being stung by one that hid inside their slippers: put yourself in the numerous shoes of a centipede, cornered by a giant fleshy thing invading the cozy place you just found...)
It would rather flee otherwise.
that was funny
Yeah, Roaches
The centipedes at my mom’s house def bite, it’s very painful. Sometimes you need to go to the hospital.
Basically never walk around my mom’s house barefoot.
It is harmless to people
