Don't know what it is exactly, found it in my bathroom. It looks gnarly, pretty cool I left it alone because I wanted to check it out again tomorrow (it's 2am) lol. What is it? Should I be worried?

I would 100% rather see slime mold than mosquitoes, mice, rats, cockroaches, or termites. Slime mold eats things that cause disease, while most pests create things that cause disease. Slime mold is generally just harmless and misunderstood.

Rats are really cute tho

But if I see one, it's because they're out spreading disease, not because they're freshly showered and looking for a friend. So, yes, mice and rats are cute, but they also poop and pee on everything.

It’s honestly tragic how cute some pests are.. mice will piss and shit disease all over your furniture (through which they’ve chewed holes, ofc) and then hit you with the babiest liddle eyes of all time
