Person. Odds are that they’re not as bad as media has been trying to convince us that we are; that said, 1k(^4^) cockroaches can still be managed with enough effort

I'm sorry but 1K^4 is a trillion cockroaches in which case you have Time Lord Technology in your attic
A person. It's your property and you can have the police come and evict them. Very easy to do.
Roaches on the other hand...
Cockroaches. You can call the secret police and have them exterminated.
On the other hand if they are in my attic I am probably gonna be exterminated too.
Person, easily. 1k roaches means i'm bound to find another 1k all around the house on the following weeks.
Person, easy
If I hadn't noticed them before now, then they're a spectacular neighbor
1000 half burned joints please.
Only a hard choice if you've never dealt with roaches. 1000 roaches is enough to convince me that the house would never be free of them ever, roaches are incredible in the way they survive and thrive. Unless you made sure you killed every single last one and their offspring, you ain't getting rid of them.
And even then your neighbors need to be sure they have removed every roach. And their neighbors...
A few hundred dollars will take care of the roach problem
The human is the biggest wild card situation yet and you're immediately going into fight or flight no matter what
Unless the person is there to kill me they win easily
Call police they leave issue solved.
Tell me you're not black without telling me you're not black
Oh absolutely, the person's relationship with the police definitely matters.
Lol.
All the person has to do to avoid arrest is be calm and assertive; if he insists that you invited him, that he paid you rent, that it's his house, here's the police response:
"That's a civil matter, you're going to have to call a lawyer."
If he's competent, he may even have a deed with the town's seal already in it. Anyone can file anything in the land records. It's up to title holders to protect their titles and clear any fraudulent entries.
While true, if they're "living" there, they're most likely in the attic or crawl space or something. Or they have no items of their own. Anything is possible and there are always outliers, but the chances are pretty low they got set up enough to convince people they're legitimately there.
P.s. going to check my basement...
This probably feels like a type of thing that happens much more often than it actually does. But for real I'm going to go check my basement too.
Roaches don't survive in my climate, bring 'em on. (Also, millennials have no idea what it's like to own a home so what's an "attic"?)
At least you don't have to explain roaches to the cops.
I love these! My favorite one is, “if you were forced to shove a whole pineapple up your ass, as a matter of life and death, would you insert it top or bottom first?”
Keep in mind, you’ll need to get it back out once it’s in.
Bottom first. The leaves would serve as a flared end and a handle. You’d want it to be ripe-ish I imagine. Ripe enough to have a little give, but not ripe enough that the leaves come out too easily.
Pineapples also come in different sizes, I’ve seen some homegrown ones posted on Lemmy that seem…manageable.
Just keep in mind that the hard, pointed spikes on the outside face up, so you’ll be pulling it out against them.
If you do top first you get the harder part over with, and then have plenty of blood to lubricate the way out.
It’s a horrific image but it’s the right way to go. You’ll simply never, under any circumstances, make it work the other way.
I mean it won’t work either way but if you don’t fucking die by the end of it at least you could theoretically get patched up.

Phrasing it like that means death is still a choice.

You can kill one person. You can’t kill 1000 roaches.
a person, I only have to exterminate one large thing vs 1000 tiny things that could potentially crawl up my pee hole in my sleep.
no thanks.
How wide is your urethra that a roach can fit up there?
doesn't matter, they love warm moist dark cracks.
that's why they're called cockroaches

The roaches. At least you know their true nature, not surprising to find them there and, in days of high frustration, one can go up and stomp a few for that crunchy sound of bug demise.
Look at this guy, he doesn't comprehend the true nature of man or like human crunch.

Dead or alive?
1000 roaches? So like... more toys for my cat?
roach squishing noises
Roaches, but I suppose enough bug bombs would work either way
person, though a much more difficult encounter it'd probably cost nothing to get them out of there, and the likehood of them coming back is much lower. all it'd take for the roaches to come back is the exterminator missing 2 or 4 of them

I live in an apartment building, I'll take the person. Roaches won't stick to the attic.
A person, unless the way I found out is they're trying to murder me and/or my family.
