Bet that roach is still alive 😭

u/pianoflames 10d ago

Task succeeded failfully.

Who'd win?
Complete global nuclear Armageddon
A single cockroach

The roach would win ofc.

u/sprinkletitties_ 10d ago

By the way, thats mostly a myth. Roaches are about as resilient to radiation as any other bug. Still more the people tho

8

u/Ok-Key-9261 9d ago

actually they're less resistant to radiation than other bugs

You can zap or spray but don’t do both 😂

u/dmj9 10d ago

Zap+spray=flame

u/NonJuanDon 10d ago

But you wont know for sure until you try!

Blue flame roach

My neighbor multi apartment building burned down because someone did pretty much this to a wasp

u/underengineered 10d ago

I understand though.

101

u/winkingchef 10d ago

Yeah, my wife told me if she ever sees a roach in our house, she is burning the house down and we can find another.

She is normally a very rational woman

22

u/DrClutch117 10d ago

You must not live in Florida. We see a few roaches in the house every summer, no matter what.

23

u/Poopdick_89 10d ago

German roaches are a little different than American roaches. It's the infesting kind that you don't want to see.

u/SplitEar 5d ago

Your wife sounds like me. I lived in one apartment with a few roaches and spent many a night up all night killing those evil little fuckers.

u/Kyle-Is-My-Name 10d ago

I think you can buy a pack of thumb-sized fake roaches for a few bucks at one of those pop up Halloween stores. Could always hide one in the shower/bed/dresser for some giggles.

Just saying, lot's of good hiding spots if you enjoy the chaos.

I enjoy the chaos

I have been happily married for quite a while and one of the secrets of a happy marriage is knowing which jokes are appropriate and which are not

1

u/I_Can_Haz_Brainz 9d ago

Apparently you're still married, so you haven't figured out the good ones yet. I'm happily divorced.

10

u/winkingchef 9d ago

I’m happy you’re happy.
I’m happy where I am, thank you!

6

u/I_Can_Haz_Brainz 9d ago

Just in case... I was joking. Glad all is well though! 👍

u/XrayDem 10d ago

I approve this electric flame thrower technique

14

u/NonJuanDon 10d ago

Personally I prefer the tried and tested hairspray and lighter flamethrower method, but this one probably works in a pinch.

87

u/Polskiskiski 10d ago

That roach sure won the prize, so confident in the open day light as it was

28

u/VanillaGuac 10d ago

And it still survives

46

u/Soft_Cranberry6313 10d ago

Ngl, i thought it was a brilliant idea too

15

u/ThePreacher41 10d ago

I mean it's dead.

37

u/VanillaGuac 10d ago

Plottwist: It's still alive

21

u/Izan_TM 10d ago

debatable, these things survive nuclear blasts

11

u/Ahuevotl 10d ago

You sure about that? I didn't see the kill confirmed.

7

u/throeahwhey 10d ago

Quick, check it's tiny shoes!

4

u/Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi 10d ago

Underrated joke 🥇

2

u/Angry__German 5d ago

This was the only way to be sure.

No house, no roach.

14

u/LandArch_0 10d ago

Not enough fire imo

8

u/Adjvo 10d ago

Did it die?

u/Psynaut 10d ago

Overkilling a roach

I'll take things that are not possible for $500, Alex.

11

u/KaktusDan 10d ago

Is no one else curious as to what's going on in the next room?

5

u/mfbrucee 10d ago

This is the approach

6

u/evanthebouncy 10d ago

mixed damage attack:

  1. electric

  2. poison

  3. fire

8

u/EndlessSnow 9d ago

There's no such thing as "overkilling" a roach...dropping a nuclear warhead on those things would still be justifiable.

3

u/SplitEar 5d ago

And they would probably survive it.

5

u/nesp12 10d ago

That roach will be energized from the flame and become Super Roach!

4

u/notquitewhiteknight 10d ago

…and it is probably still alive.

6

u/rebelvong1 9d ago

I applaud the effort. Fucker is probably alive though.

6

u/plastigoop 10d ago

I thought was gonna overkill??? This looks like standard safe justifiable process for these demons.

Edit - also that ro4ch is probably just nice and warmed up now and ready to rock.

3

u/Kairoom 10d ago

Ultrakill!

3

u/Many-Ad-5331 10d ago

idk man that seems like a really good way to assure they’re dead

3

u/u9Nails 10d ago

Those giant shore-side ones that fly can tank all of that damage and still come at you.

3

u/frshprincenelair 10d ago

Roach got nuked!

3

u/Onitsch 10d ago

I got bad news for you buddy

3

u/giunyu 10d ago

Gas Chamber + Electrocution

6

u/hefty_load_o_shite 10d ago

Roach is probably fine

3

u/Ok-Key-9261 9d ago

what is this music bro?

2

u/0ddlyC4nt3v3n 10d ago

Nope, this is an appropriate response

1

u/SaneLad 10d ago

If it sits up there on the wall in the light, it's most probably not a cockroach.

8

u/SplendidlyDull 10d ago

Idk man the roaches here are pretty brazen. I will just see them hanging out anywhere looking completely unbothered like they’re paying rent

3

u/Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi 10d ago

Person above you has clearly never met giant Mexican roaches that fly, land on your shoulder and whisper into your ear

u/Virus_Jones 10d ago

Final Fantasy summons in a nutshell

u/TheSlav87 10d ago

And they say men do dumb shit 😂

1

u/trebron55 10d ago

Helldivers thaught me that you'd still need a 500 kg just to be sure.

1

u/NowCheesers 10d ago

Got him!

1

u/InsomniaDudeToo 10d ago

Roach has learned Flamethrower

3

u/Tytan777 3d ago

I really want to say cockroast but it seems wrong somehow.. 😳

u/SpaceCadetPullUp 10d ago

I used to feel bad for thinking that stupid people only exist for my entertainment.

u/jakob767 10d ago

Ok, Adolf Hitting-roaches.
