I’d even take the slobber over a cyborg cockroach 😭

reply

gwenma.bsky.social•104 days ago

Their legs are unsettling and the sound they make while skittering en masse makes my skin scrawl. I envision a cyborg to be singular though so maybe it won’t be so bad if they are equipped with silencers.

Cripes, read up on it instead of just going "Eww!". Imagine being buried alive in rubble you can't escape. Other wild insects would probably find you in that situation anyway. Gimme the clean, lab-grown cyber roach who can report my location to a search & rescue crew. Rescue rats are also cool!

reply

marplani.bsky.social•104 days ago

p.s. The lil' roaches being studied for this are returned to their terrarium at the end of day. The researchers can safely remove their lil' robotic backpacks.

p.p.s. They're wingless Madagascar hissing roaches. Docile, often kept as pets, and not pests. Fun Fact: live ones starred in Men in Black.
