What kinda insects we talking about here?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Water spiders, gnats, etc. You know, bugs you see in a boathouse or in the bathrooms around water.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Why would you assume that I spend time on boathouses or aquatic bathrooms?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago

Lol, I assume everyone has been camping near a lake or something. That's what I meant by bathrooms on water. If you have ever been by a pier, look underneath, that's a good tell as well.

A Space Noodle is a relative of a Pool Noodle, is it not?

Eh, water navy, space navy, close enough; I could see how some would get confused

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Even further off.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're in a thread asking about boat related stuff

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, asking questions about boats.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You haven't asked a single question about boats, only about insects.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, about insects that live on and around boats.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right, so why are you surprised that boat related context is the answer to your question

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

I'm not surprised, I'm asking why someone would assume I hang around boats a lot when I'm asking questions about what's around boats.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We don't really have gnats here in Seattle. It's great.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So we only get water spiders and etc.?

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 1 week ago

I've never seen those here, either. And they don't sound like much of a pest since they wouldn't be flying around biting you.
