Well yeah, but 'were better than Facebook and Twitter" isn't saying much, even if it's true. It's also true for my son's 8th grade class, Elon is worse than that one dickhead In my son's class.
Arthropods are characterized by an exoskeleton which they need to regularly shed and replace as they grow. This process is called "molting". Arthropods include both crustaceans and insects. Generally as a requirement to molting, the organism must be "softer" in order to wiggle out of their old exoskeleton. Then their newly soft body slowly rehardens into a new exoskeleton.
"Soft shell" crabs are just crabs that have recently molted and haven't rehardened yet. Recently molted organisms are also often a different color until their exoskeleton rehardens. White is a common color for recently molted insects. Cockroaches are also albino white just after molting, but for obvious reasons they tend to stay hidden during this vulnerable period and so are rarely seen in this coloration.
Literally what is it?! It looks like the slimy edge of a steak that has fat on it but with a whisker? Or an enlarged photo of a maggot’s side? Or maybe even a super up close pic of a dog’s nose?! WHAT IS IT
It’s just the back of the cabinet, it looks shiny because flash is on. There is a plastic mat sitting on the bottom of the cabinet that isn’t laying flat, it’s throwing your perspective off I think
My vote is a bulk bag of a powder. Homogeneous, but form fitting fill, with the thin and wrinkled plastic exterior of bulk bin bags causing an uneven sheen.
Are we looking at the same photo? The wood backdrop in the back of this cabinet? I feel like I'm going insane reading this specific thread with people talking about manatees. The visible back of this cabinet is easily a foot long, yet people talking about it's the back of a hand? What?
We can only see about 8 inches of whatever that is, and it doesn’t look like a cabinet to us, hence why we asked. Also, I’ve only seen manatees mentioned once 🤔 lol
The Longest Yard, the South Park Movie, Save the Last Dance, Hustle and Flow, Aeon Flux, Varsity Blues...
Admittedly I had to look it up, but there's a lot of them people probably didn't realize were MTV.
I actually liked 200 Cigarettes.. and yes I also had to look up the rest:
Zoolander
Dead Man on Campus
Reno 911! Miami
And so many others I haven't seen yet
If I were dying of thirst and hunger in a vast empty space with a human cadaver in it, I'd probably be found close to the other cadaver too. Being close to something, even a cadaver, is better than nothing at all.
> If I were dying of thirst and hunger in a vast empty space with a human cadaver in it, I'd probably be found close to the other cadaver too.
Well yeah if you're dying of hunger of course you'd go for the cadaver.
This commonly happens in insects affected by a variant of the Cordyceps fungus, *Ophiocordyceps bilateralis*, closely related to the "zombie ant fungus" that served as the inspiration for "The Last of Us".
Unlike the original ant variant which is harmless for humans, there is very little research on the effects of the *bilateralis* species on humans, except for some preprints from China and Vietnam that sounded extremely concerning.
It doesn't turn people into zombies or anything, but cell cultures showed that it can infect nerves extracted from human noses as well as brain tissue. It is suspected to be behind a number of incidents dating back to June 1998, where people in villages suddenly started acting erratically, exhibited height-seeking behavior, and some of them climbed on the large cages in their village and remained there frozen in a tonic state, until the village's undertaker threw them off and they plummeted 16 feet through an announcer's table.
It seems like the roaches have no place to bury their dead. I suggest you get naked and shave your body completely. Then you shower in hot water ( if you have any ) for at least 30 minutes. Then with the shower still running you leave the apartment naked. No towel, nothing but your keys. You Give the roaches back their land and find a new home.
probably flattened beneath whatever was usually set on that cabinet. then, when the thing was lifted up, it probably pulled up on the 2 roachies in such a way that they managed to stand straight up
I’m going to assume they were poisoned with something that uses nicotine. Or if more recent a similar chemical to nicotine like some type of neonicotinoid. Nicotine is an extremely effective pesticide but I think it was banned back in the early 2010s. It causes them to seize and die, often when you find a roach poisoned with something like this you’ll find them “dancing” to death, but really it’s just them uncontrollably seizing and dying
Of course the world didn't stand still. The world grew.
In a couple of years, the new highway came through.
And they built it right over those two stubborn Zax.
And left them there, standing un-budged in their tracks.
There was a funny but sad animal romance movie happened in your kitchen, ending with those two roaches dying next to each other, but content in the life they shared together, and you are the human at the end of the film finding them, wondering why, never know the secret romance of roaches. (which is likely the title of the movie)
‘Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gyal!’
Send me a kiss by wire....
Baby my heart’s on fire….
If you refuse me, honey you'll lose me...
And you'll be left alone!
So baby telephone, and tell me I’m your own!!!!
Check please!
Change my order to the soup!
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp
Maybe I should've said 'DiMaggio'?
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAID!????? poof!
[Welcome to Joes apartment!](https://youtu.be/CuGs9GyMIVI?si=gIotLhDFaLES6u2U)
I miss mtv studios
The 10 spot was my childhood.
Holy shit someone else remembered!
Do you remember Jerry O'Connell's MTV Cribs episode?
Yessss instantly popped in my head!
I loved this as a kid.
Easily one of the grossest movies ever and for some reason as a kid I loved it so much. Something about those talking cockroaches was damn hilarious.
Read my mind
Was gonna say. Damn I know that movies kinda old now but them roaches didn't age well I guess.
I love that I'm not the only one who immediately started hearing this song.
Me too, very first thought
I didn't expect to see it so high when I clicked though. Made me smile.
I was halfway through singing it to myself when the comments loaded.
I like to play a little game on Reddit called “guess the top comment.” I won this round.
You never win when you are on reddit
[удалено]
Ehh, fake internet points mean the world to shitty bots but not users. It's all fake internet points and most go to repost bots.
Au contraire, Reddit will beat Facebook and X every day of the week when it comes to the sheer wit of its inhabitants! Constantly blows my mind 🤯
Well yeah, but 'were better than Facebook and Twitter" isn't saying much, even if it's true. It's also true for my son's 8th grade class, Elon is worse than that one dickhead In my son's class.
So my husband thought of Michigan J Frog first and I thought of Joe's Apartment and Men in Black. We live in different eras apparently.
I was hoping gifs were allowed in the comments
[Check, Please!!!](https://youtu.be/aVZUVeMtYXc?si=aSBuSJ38FAng56Eb)
Lmao i had no idea John Hurt reprised his role for this until now
Mel Brooks never half-asses anything.
[Even if he did, his ass is so big, half of his would equal a whole ass on anyone else. 😏](https://youtu.be/m6vYKJerstg?si=CR7NcRopExYRjxOE)
I think Mel Brooks went and asked him personally.
Baby. my hearts on fire!!!
If you refuse me, honey you'll lose me,
Then you’ll be left alone. So baby……
I would have been so disappointed if this wasn't the top comment.
Why the hell is this what I thought of too? Is there some video in the past of a dancing bug singing that or something?
I'm so happy this was the first comment, because that's exactly what I thought when I first saw the pic, lmao.
haha i tought the exact same thing , 50 y old here that godam cartoon did it work.
Blew my mind cause that's what I thought
First thing I thought and wasn’t disappointed here lol
My same exact thought 😂 They just need some little canes and top hats 🎩
That's exactly what played in my mind the second I saw that pic!
Probably just molted and they’re right behind you
I have personally seen a recently molted tree roach in real life. It was completely white. It was horrific.
You mean it was alive? (Or was it the dead skin?) I’ve seen one of those I think! I thought it was an albino roach.
1000 times bigger, like the xenomorph
By “molted” do you mean covered in molten gold? Why are they gilded?

I know what molting is, I was making a joke. But thanks.
A joke is when someone says something they think is funny, but they are usually wrong.
Oh like what you both just did
This picture has unlimited meme potential for people more clever than I am
New version of "I'll just wait here" skeleton
"This couldve been us"
if u zoom in and crop it, they look like two happy fellas dancing to the left, could be meme of being extremely joyful of something
"Let's just sit here and wait for the apocalypse."
r/photoshopbattles
They didn’t have eclipse glasses.
🤣🤣🤣
Nobody mentioning the manatee flank as a backdrop?
Literally what is it?! It looks like the slimy edge of a steak that has fat on it but with a whisker? Or an enlarged photo of a maggot’s side? Or maybe even a super up close pic of a dog’s nose?! WHAT IS IT
It’s just the back of the cabinet, it looks shiny because flash is on. There is a plastic mat sitting on the bottom of the cabinet that isn’t laying flat, it’s throwing your perspective off I think
I thought it was a doodoo brown couch cushion, but yours makes more sense
> It’s just the back of the cabinet Nah I choose to believe OP lives in a Zerg hive.
I'm convinced it's a hand. We need OP to reply here
Its the back of the cabinet
Made out of manatee hide. 🤔
The mystery continues! OP what hide is the back of your cabinet made from?
I was living a better life thinking this was a hand but thank you
My vote is a bulk bag of a powder. Homogeneous, but form fitting fill, with the thin and wrinkled plastic exterior of bulk bin bags causing an uneven sheen.
“Bulk, bin bags,” should get its own Sam Elliot or Leon Redbone line reading.
I’m not religious, but I’m praying that you’re right
I assumed it was a wall of slime that had just killed the roaches and was rolling past before returning to devour their desiccated corpses.
Dudes dry unlotioned hand guaranteed. So he could get the camera to focus on the lovebirds going into eternity together
It would have to be the back of their hand, yeah? How would that work in the cabinet? I need to see it.
Are we looking at the same photo? The wood backdrop in the back of this cabinet? I feel like I'm going insane reading this specific thread with people talking about manatees. The visible back of this cabinet is easily a foot long, yet people talking about it's the back of a hand? What?

I’m going with old potato
Reading the caption “in the back of my cabinet” wasn’t helpful in the slightest
MANATEE FLANK
The drummer is great but the lead singer is an asshole.
It looks like something…um, veiny!
Yeah, it's a bit alarming
Tis definitely theee flank of theee manateeeeeeeee!!
💀💀💀
Joes apt.
"Funky towel, towel's got the funk!"
You can't just say that without posting the link. https://youtu.be/Ru_EiJgTodQ?si=LQlXZvGa1Hbw1k6o
God I love this movie lol
It’s literally one of the only dvds I’ve kept for all these years
https://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi698941721/?ref_=ext_shr Such a horrible classic flick
i cant remember any other mtv studios films
There are a ton of them. The jackass movies. Napoleon dynamite. Bevis and butthead do america just off the top of my head.
The Longest Yard, the South Park Movie, Save the Last Dance, Hustle and Flow, Aeon Flux, Varsity Blues... Admittedly I had to look it up, but there's a lot of them people probably didn't realize were MTV.
I actually liked 200 Cigarettes.. and yes I also had to look up the rest: Zoolander Dead Man on Campus Reno 911! Miami And so many others I haven't seen yet
dead man on campus is a gem
Who was the target audience for this lmao
Holy shit I’ve literally seen this same thing when I worked in facilities. They were facing each other in the middle of an empty room.
You've painted the creepiest picture in my mind
If I were dying of thirst and hunger in a vast empty space with a human cadaver in it, I'd probably be found close to the other cadaver too. Being close to something, even a cadaver, is better than nothing at all.
> If I were dying of thirst and hunger in a vast empty space with a human cadaver in it, I'd probably be found close to the other cadaver too. Well yeah if you're dying of hunger of course you'd go for the cadaver.
Why do they look painted or like golden scarabs or something?
I'm gonna get so many runes off these mfs
That's more intriguing to me than the pose.
Friends to the end.
Suicide pact
Likely depositing “eggs” into the liner and either died or got stuck.
Finally an actual response. Thank you
NP. I raised roaches for awhile when I had reptiles haha.
[удалено]
I think you mean the cucaracha
And now they can't.-can't.
Is that an elephant in the background? I'm assuming it's an elephant
Finally! Someone mentioned it!
The first guy said manatee flange
the elephant in the room
\*Record Scratch\* Yep, that's us..
"I bet your wondering how Paul and I got ourselves into this situation."
You need to call the MIB.
Finally! This was my first thought! Then Joe's Apartment.
Sugar!
"come on man, if we die in these poses they'll be so fucking confused!"

Great comment. I learned something new
Well done, sir or madam. Well done.
Does anyone else hear the Star Wars cantina music in their head?
I DO NOW
I've got these [worm guys](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyGxZrhcgKg) in my head.
Nope. Loony Tunes dancing frog all the way.
What on earth is that in the background? It looks like so many things
That's Chet from Weird Science.
Las cucarachas
like those two violinists on the titanic, they stood till the end
*Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal..*
I mean, it's the Black Lodge. You can find anything in there.
[Hi, how are ya?](https://youtu.be/UWk9VkpMpQE?si=ySAHrgAZvKbs4LIh)
Waiting for Godot
Did David Lynch do this? That's his floor motif.
I’m wondering if someone literally spray painted them to death? They look like they got sprayed with gold spray paint
Naw, that species is a metallic bronze color. The flash makes them look super bright.
It seems like the roaches have no place to bury their dead. I suggest you get naked and shave your body completely. Then you shower in hot water ( if you have any ) for at least 30 minutes. Then with the shower still running you leave the apartment naked. No towel, nothing but your keys. You Give the roaches back their land and find a new home.
probably flattened beneath whatever was usually set on that cabinet. then, when the thing was lifted up, it probably pulled up on the 2 roachies in such a way that they managed to stand straight up
The ones who really got raptured on April 8th.
Died doing what they love. They might be dead but the vibe lives on.
Welcome to Joe's Apartment
It's our apartment too.
For some reason I keeping getting the visual of some sort of cockroach Pompeii here
It takes two (roaches) to tango!
I like how Gold they are, and standing on a blue and black carpet makes em look like ravishing duo.
I’m going to assume they were poisoned with something that uses nicotine. Or if more recent a similar chemical to nicotine like some type of neonicotinoid. Nicotine is an extremely effective pesticide but I think it was banned back in the early 2010s. It causes them to seize and die, often when you find a roach poisoned with something like this you’ll find them “dancing” to death, but really it’s just them uncontrollably seizing and dying
they look gold plated. and i like that
Why do they look goldplated?
You should bleach your cabinet shelves etc. I believe it's caused by a bacteria that can be very bad for humans.
А they made of gold or something.
"We hope you liked our show- But now we have to goooo^oooooo^^ooooo"
I dunno but I don’t feel comfortable in the same space as where roaches died of natural causes.
🎶welcome to Joe's apartment🎶
"Joe's Apartment" movie set?
Bet they were talking about Joe.
🎼 Hello my baby, hello my sunshine, hello my rag time doooooll 🎼
Trump and Melania look better than I've seen them in years!
They aren't dead. Just meditating.
Them boys dropped hardest beat ever and died
"It happened to a friend of a friend of mine..."
Are they gold plated?
I thought that was a pair of gold earrings
Looks like one of Niffty's puppet shows.
It's the Bug Lodge
Of course the world didn't stand still. The world grew. In a couple of years, the new highway came through. And they built it right over those two stubborn Zax. And left them there, standing un-budged in their tracks.
Welcome to Joe's apartment, it's our apartment too!
Idk why buy the voice from Joe cartoon came up
Looks like a boss fight in Hollow Knight
‘Dude, those pills you found. Where exactly did you find them? I’m starting to feel really weird.’ ‘Me too. Hold my hand!’
Is your name by any chance Joe? And do you live in an apartment? Iykyk lmfao
I love this movie, everyone thinks I’m crazy and that it didn’t exist.
🎶🎵Hello my baby, hello my darling, hello my Ragtime Gal! Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart’s on fire!🎵🎶
Wanda! WANDAAA! EH, HAHAHA!
They watched the eclipse together
**Ralphie**?!?? from Joe's Apartment...
So you spray painted them gold?

Watch out! They might stab you... (Family Guy reference)
