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.

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 58 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The human anus can stretch up to 7 in. (18 cm.) before taking damage.

The average pineapple is 6 in. (15 cm.) in diameter.

You got this.

Phrasing it like that means death is still a choice.

Why's that?

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.

[–] jettrscga@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Look at this guy, he doesn't comprehend the true nature of man or like human crunch.

Sounds like you've never had the misfortune of being somewhere with a roach infestation.

No way, you won't be able to get the roaches out nearly as easy as the person

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.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You can kill one person. You can’t kill 1000 roaches.

I’ve had roaches before. I’d pick the person 10 out of 10 times.

Someone who just desperately needed shelter? Okay, fine. Someone who is caked in their own waste, with insane ramblings scrawled across their skin in blood? Uh, bring on the roaches, I guess.

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

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.

Um person, absolutely no question.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

At least I might be able to reason with them and offer food and comfort. Roaches are just like "hey there, see you in your ventilation system!".

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

as someone that has a person living in their attic ... FOR FREE, RUPERT ... I would say neither.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 12 points 6 months ago

A person, unless the way I found out is they're trying to murder me and/or my family.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 months ago

Person. Charge retroactively for rent

[–] Apepollo11@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (4 children)

A dead person, preferably - although it would be a little surprising for me as I live in a new-build.

[–] Apepollo11@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

On second thought, using that caveat 1000 dead roaches would be better.

A person because if they've been living in my attic then they must be harmless. Still calling the cops though.

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...

Easy, roaches. I assume there are already at least 1000 in my attic.

One might expect 1000 roaches in the attic; ain't nobody expecting a person.

[–] Speiser0@feddit.org 7 points 6 months ago

But what would happen to the person if they're not in my attic? I wouldn't want them to get run over by a trolley.

[–] Skates@feddit.nl 7 points 6 months ago

I live in an apartment building, I'll take the person. Roaches won't stick to the attic.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

1000 persons.
