  Though i agree they are harmless, they do not meet any classical, popular definition of cute

  They have too many legs and move too quickly. It just freaks me out, man.

    My tiny lizard brain refuses to acknowledge their usefulness. Skittering and many legs? Dead!

    Don’t forget the painful, venomous bite!

    If I find one in my house, I’m killing it. They’re my irrational fear. You can’t talk me out of it.

    If they’d have the decency to have two legs and two arms, we’d be fine.

    That’s got like a hundred feet!
    I don’t like looking at that one.
    Just call it something that means a hundred feet and get it off the screen!

  The reasoned par of my brain wholeheartedly agrees with you, and when I can convince myself to do so, I let them vibe. Unfortunately the reasoned part of my brain is powerless to stop the fight or flight response that happens when [spindly-legged creature] crosses my field of view. It simply happens.

  If reasoning alone could overcome an otherwise unreasonable physiological response, then allergies wouldn’t exist.

  For me it’s the fact that I lived in a desertic place for most of my life and centipedes there have a very painful bite

  I know house centipedes are smaller and handles but it’s difficult to retrain the brain

  Idk they creep me the fuck out with those legs and also they move way too fast.

  They creep me the fuck out. I know they’re harmless and beneficial to have but when I turn on my bathroom light and see one on the wall above my toilet I have to get rid of it. They’re literally the only big that freaks me out, even roaches aren’t that bad to me.

  For me, they manage to trigger the “SNAKE!” and “SPIDER!” panic responses simultaneously. The rational part of my brain likes them, the instinctual part tells me to smash it with a rock

  Look at them.

  I’m sure they’re terrified of me, too…but ya know.
