This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Did our generation forget how caulk and netting works?

unless you hermetically seal your house, bugs will get in, if they want in.

Some small bugs will get through fine mesh.

Open doors and windows let a lot of things in.

But fucked up gappy houses let everything in all the time. You've spent your whole life living in fucked up gappy houses, I'm guessing.

Yeah most new construction is terrible and a lot of older homes need extensive work that people can't afford.

I'm calling it now, some dissertation in the future will be written on spiderbro's place in contemporary culture as an expression of acceptance of widespread low home quality.

Of course exacerbated by a generally low competency in home maintenance, and more importantly a huge renting class with feckless do-nothing-right landlords and limited/unclear permissions to take the issue in their own hands.

I didn't honestly even think about that. Being from the nordics means throwing them outside is the same as killing them most of the year and keeping them all out is kinda impossible, they'll find their way in because outside is cold
