I’m going to be honest, seeing a palmetto bug in person would probably make me think I’d traveled back to a more oxygen rich atmosphere for a second. I’m not generally squicky about bugs that don’t harm you, but I think that would activate a new part of my brain.

When you see a palmetto bug inside, it’s because it wandered in from outside. When you see a German cockroach inside, it’s because there are thousands of them living in your walls.

i dont hate cockroaches because they’re harmful. Rats are harmful and I like them.

I hate cockroaches because they trigger my monkey-brain to throw me into fight-or-flight mode. I’m 100% certain this would get infinitely worse if one of those fuckers started flying.
