In Sydney I had ones that had been poisoned so many times they stopped dying and grew curly wings 🤮

Damn, every time I leave this place I delete the memory of how disgustingly huge cockroaches get, and then every time I come back I get a rude shock. 🤢 Loathsome creatures…

My friends had ones that learned to run upright on their back legs to keep the poison offa their mouth-hand-legs.

Probably far too late, but do not play RE2

Reminds me of Super Mario Bros where there are those flying squirrel things

And the white stuff that comes out when you thwack it with your thong shudders

My mum is vehemently anti-killing to the point that she won’t even relocate bugs off her treasured curry leaf plants that are constantly under attack - I’ve never seen the insides of a roach and don’t think I’m in a rush to 😬
At my old place I’d catch them under a cup and throw them outside. My mum puts kitchen gloves on and grabs them just like that which freaked me out massively as a child and as an adult

Wow. Full props to your mum. My mum (when growing up in the tropical soup) was fully supportive of killing. I don’t think we dented the numbers though
