What salt gun do you use? I've never heard of them and now I'm intrigued
Comment on How do I figure out where flies are entering my house?
glimse@lemmy.world 9 hours agoThey’re incredible and by far the best bug killing method I’ve ever used. They don’t move when you’re pointing it at them from a meter away and the salt usually just rattles them to death so you aren’t picking up bug pieces. Sometimes it vaporizes them, though lol
Don’t make the same mistake I did and shoot it near a house plant, though.
Care to translate that German for us lesser people?

The original Bug-A-Salt. I did some research and the knockoffs are nowhere near as good. And I sure as hell didn’t want the one with CO cartridges

Yes, looks effective!
When young, I had a blowpipe shooting sucker cup darts.
Most effective mosquito hunting device I ever owned. But left a mess of the target and was slightly cross to re-use the darts ;-)
I will give translating a try, but guess some of the silly punch will get lost in translation: "Will the salt squirt [on] the beetle?
“No, the beetle stays complete for an easy cleaning” (Where “bespritzen” may also be used as a colloquial term for ejaculating on someone or something)

That’s pretty funny. Even funnier that it’s saying almost exactly what I said!

Yes, after thinking about it for a few seconds it becomes clear what they are trying to say.
The direct translation 1-to-1 translation to German is just really bad and funny sounding :-)
