It seems like there are far more of these useless, bumbling fuckwits about this year than I can ever remember before.
edit: thanks for all the awards
edit2: Wow - now my highest voted post! Thanks everyone.
I know that insects are usually pretty unwanted in peoples homes, but that is exactly the reason I donโt mind letting some Daddy Long Legs live in my house. I live in New Zealand, and the city I live in was built on a swamp and so we get lots and lots of mosquitos and flies throughout the summer. However, I notice that if I let some Daddy Long Legs live inside the house (not a lot, but some) then I see almost no flies or mosquitoes inside compared to when there arenโt any of the spiders living inside. They tend to catch all the more annoying insects. Iโm personally not a huge fan of spiders, theyโre pretty gross to me, but in a way Daddy Long Legs are okay. I think of them more as my employees. They get rent free accommodation in exchange for keeping my house free of pestering mozzies, sandflies, flies etc.
Rainworld, thou art a beautiful game sometimes.
EDIT: Aaaand then I just killed two yellow lizards by swinging right in front of their faces until they overbalanced and fell to their inevitable dooms, and then proceeded to immediately drop to my death while a daddy long-legs watched in confusion. Perfection.
There seem to be more than ever around this year.
Growing up I was told daddy long legs were Opiliones aka Harvestmen only. However it seems to be more diverse than that for some people. So where did you grow up and what do you consider a daddy long legs? I'm curious if it's a regional thing.
Hey peeps, so our landlord is an old dickhead and refuses to move the bins from a location WAY to close to the apartments, as such we frequently get loads of flies, months and even cockroachs wandering through! We have long term sprayed all of the apartment etc but still they get through, so my thought was to get a couple of daddy long legs to chill around the place and help monch at least the flies and moths, how can I go about getting them? Would catching them and just letting them go under the tv cabinets and in the closets do the trick?
I don't wanna hurt them and basically doom them to death by putting them in the house so I'm not sure.
And before anyone gets all snooty and grossed out, daddy long legs are helpful babies who would never hurt a soul and do nothing to bother you, don't be mean to them!
Not that any of you play ivern but i've played him in aram a few times and it's kinda fucked that his q still pulls him into melee range even though he's literally a ranged champion now.
maybe it's because of all the acid him and lulu took while in bandle city forest but...
In hindsight probably shouldn't be saying that to children, I forget who told me this, maybe I was being a brat and not sleeping and someone told me the reason daddy long legs have such long legs Is they wait for you to fall asleep so they can leap down and slice you're throat, I was scared of them for the longest time whereas now they Just creep me out
Fun fact: Daddy long legs are actually loaded with poison but they have nothing to Inject them Into you with
They're shaped like a spider but only have 6 looooong legs and they have wings and can fly. They bump into everything and they're really gross. Do you have them? What do you call them?
When my daughter was about 3, she saw a mosquito on the wall and told us there was a Baby-Low-Legs in the house.
And that is what we will call them forever.
The one I've just dealt with would now be more accurately described as a "daddy long-leg".
Edit: Just realised that mine isn't the first daddy long-legs-related post today! There really are a lot of the buggers about at the moment.
