I’ll just leave this here (pdf warning)

(3) Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda film by putting two or three dozen large moths in a paper bag. Take the bag to the movies with you, put it on the floor in an empty section of the theater as you go in and leave it open. The moths will fly out and climb into the projector beam, so that the film will be obscured by fluttering shadows.

Amazing.

Don't get me wrong - I love this, but who has 3 dozen moths in a paper bag?

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Hmmm. I guess it's time to tell you, but not that long ago, there used to be a lot more bugs, and getting 36 moths in a bag probably would have taken less than an hour of work during dusk.

Seriously, we're going through an insect apocalypse.

You don't even have a moth guy? Mine gets me big cecropia moths, he even pronounces it correctly.

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago

I thought it was a reasonable "3 moths", and then after your comment had to re-read APPROXIMATELY THIRTY-SIX MOTHS?!? LMAO how?

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago

I quite literally know a guy.

How much are you paying your moth guy?

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

it's more of a barter situation

Could probably just put a small light in a jar and watch the poor fuckers fly in and get trapped

Dr. Moths?

Modern problems require moth solutions.

LAMP!

TLDR?

It is an archive copy of the simple sabotage manual - an instruction set put together originally by the OSS in WW2 to give civilians and partisans ideas on how they could fuck with and diminish the efficiency and morale of the axis powers.
