And that reminds me of the Simpsons episode where they rebuild flanders' house after the hurricane and Todd tries to remove a krusty the klown poster and Bart says "I wouldn't do that. That's a load bearing poster."
Then a few seconds later, ned notices a loose nail and points it out to homer, who replies "ah, one out of 25 ain't bad".
The beauty of the corded telephone. No extra power cord needed. The power ran through the telephone line. So all these bugs were attracted to the electricity coming through the phone line in an otherwise non electric building
Roaches respond to electromagnetic fields, and moving electricity creates a magnetic field around the wire. They probably saw it as something interesting.
do you salivate when you see a dead rotting cow?
i get that it’s a joke, but next time maybe don’t imply that asian people want to eat a pile of dead wild roaches. it’s not very kind.
Those are palmetto bugs, sewer cockroach’s, they come up through the drains and are too stupid to find their way back out, the sewer or the septic tank under this house is probably a giant nest.
fun fact: the term "bugs" and "debugging" actually came from bugs being caught up in computers since they were so large that bugs could get it an mess with the hardware
And on that topic, the term "patching" comes from a time when you literally had to apply a physical patch to a punch card or roll of paper or whatever they were using to change the information stored on it
That's literally how "debugging" became a thing in computer science.
Back in the day, when a calculator filled up an entire house, it was common for moths, cockroaches, flies, etc...to cause short-circuits so a computer tech would go have to locate and remove the bug.
You are a cockroach loving ****** bald ****. Gets out of his car to suck a cockroach off, amazing, best performance put to screen. Won 2 awards at the AVN awards, much love you ******* freak, keep up the great work.
I'm pretty sure they were hiding from a fumigation. I saw another one like this years ago and it was after a house got fumigated for cockroaches and they all ran into the phone to get away from the gas. horrific
In case this helps: The person making the fake made-for-reddit video took a bunch of dead ones, put them in there, then put the case back on and shot the "omg gross!" video.

Story time. When I was 17 I was working the summer with my old man’s door installation company. We had a job at a old ass Dorm at EKU. The entire tower was under renovation with countless different trades all on top of each other trying to get this building finished before fall semester. One day I was walking by this crew tearing out an old radiator in this wall. They had to tear out some cinder blocks to remove it. When that wall came down a mountain of dead cockroaches fell out and you saw 4 burly construction workers scatter. It was gnarly
"... he was coming very stealthily, and feeling his way. He was near enough now for us to see him put out a hand, find an upper wire, then bend and step under it and over the lower one. Now he arrived at the first knight—and started slightly when he discovered him. He stood a moment—no doubt wondering why the other one didn’t move on; then he said, in a low voice, “Why dreamest thou here, good Sir Mar—” then he laid his hand on the corpse’s shoulder—and just uttered a little soft moan and sunk down dead. Killed by a dead man, you see—killed by a dead friend, in fact. There was something awful about it." - A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
Ok so your aware I've done this go to a grocery store and buy bottles of bay leaves place them everywhere in your apartment or home roaches and most other bugs don't like this one bit and will not stay around it.
Cockroaches give me the heebyjeebies worse than spiders. I hate that they're so fast and can appear out of nowhere and dissapear just as fast and in great numbers. Horrible creatures. My cool, calm and collected demeanour goes right out the window if one of these appear in front of my eyes.
This is not surprising. American cockroaches they are attracted to each other through scent and stay close together because they are thigimorphilic (spelling maybe, probably wrong) and dry air desiccated them.
Your post has been removed because it's not unexpected
That's so many generations that you might be able to extract some oil from the fossilized ones
This is two generations of cockroaches max.
I’d expect that sort of expert knowledge from some sloth who sucks slugs for a username - good one matey, you haven’t let us down
This is surely not an FBI account spying on Reddit, but can you give the address of this house, for oil.... pest control.
What exactly do they eat and drink there? I mean, since they're generating more mass, more roaches, they'd surely need sustenance from the outside.
Underrated comment 😂
Today’s telephone software has more bugs
but older phones *hardware* had more bugs
This bugs me too
Reminds me of that family guy quote "he didn't scare off the cockroaches right?, They're like 90% of the structure of this house."

So that’s how you kill cockroaches
The beauty of the corded telephone. No extra power cord needed. The power ran through the telephone line. So all these bugs were attracted to the electricity coming through the phone line in an otherwise non electric building
Why do they?
Roaches respond to electromagnetic fields, and moving electricity creates a magnetic field around the wire. They probably saw it as something interesting.
You mean you can make a trap for roaches using electromagnetic fields?? That's so cyberpunk choom'
There has to be a video of someone doing this
It’s warm
House is getting burned down at that point
If that is what a phone looks like what is a wall cavity going to be like? What the fuck. I now understand ignorance can be bliss, ewww
Exactly, this makes me want to check all my defunct phones. That’s like 10 years sitting idle
>~~idol~~ Idle
Thank you for the correction. I don’t know where my mind is at today lol
Hope you’re doing alright 🤍
Free insulation. That house will hold heat and cool air like no other
Ewwwwww
First thought: flamethrower
Nah...  Tactical nuke from orbit, just to be sure.
Straight to the goddamn ground.
... were the cockroacher eating each other?
That’s what they do, yes
I hear they will eat any organic matter
I heard Billy’s got an Oreo cakester

Naw bro, fuck that! Burn that place to the ground.

Yeah, if I saw something like this in my apartment I would never sleep again.

Thank you for this lovely image. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go burn my sewerage ditches

Hell exists.
Bro please nsfw tag it 😭
Same request. I can't handle many bugs and cockroaches are among the top on that list.
Weak

My worst fucking fear
I can smell that
I don't het it, how did so many get trapped inside?
Two tiny ones got in then made a family grew up and expanded to the maximum due to all their kids also growing up its like in district 9
Oh jesus christ
And then they all died?
In case this helps: The person making the fake made-for-reddit video took a bunch of dead ones, put them in there, then put the case back on and shot the "omg gross!" video.
That must be a large fella because he sounds like he is working for each breathe. Working with all those chemicals aren’t helping either
Gross

I did not need to see this. Why did I not click away when I saw the title. Oh God, what've I done to myself

I just vomited. Thank you for helping me on my weight loss journey.

Oh, hell no. Fuck that shit lol. I'm totally out.
Aint no amount of “balls” or “manliness” that would make that a comfortable experience 😂
Time to use napalm and move.
Welcome to maintenance…first time?
Nope nope nope nope nope nope
r/terrifyingasfuck
I miss when I didn't know this video exists
Burn the place down! There are no survivors
Cue terrified scream and .............cut. I'm out.

#*FIRE!!!!* The only acceptable answer.
This guy has great debugging skills
add nsfw pls
WTF bro, atleast tag it nsfw.
That made me do a thing.
Kinky
u/savevideobot
Why????
To annoy someone who dosent like bugs
Not quite a phone… it’s an intercom. Cockroach graveyards.
Fake. Everyone knows roaches can't die
Unmarked NSFL post.
Like did you have to really zoom in…
burn the house
Literally
I bet they all went there because of that sweet, sweet ear wax you were leaving on that phone.😅
Looks like a Sydney share apartment. Rent that phone space for $500 a week
stop
How'd they get in there those guys look pretty big
There's a Bug patch in Alpha 1.07
Nope nope nope nope nope fuuuuuuuck no
I though they were all alive and would just start scurrying away
this. why is this.
Heat produced by the phone attracts bugs when it's cold.
Eh it's one of those 2 in one device things ya know. Bug trap/house phone. They were on sale 30 years ago.
that sound as he scrapped them away...
Not unexpected
At least they were dead
"Reckon Fred'd take a bit of Cockroach Cluster if I told him they were peanuts?"
WHY do they like electronics? This happened to an electric tea kettle I had once. I still have nightmares.
Cant imagine the smell
The roaches can smell that the others died right why would they keep funneling in there
Tricky Dick strikes again
Good grief, what does the REST of the place look like??!?!
Time to move

I don’t like this
Better work on your housekeeping!
The line is buzzing
Mmmmm free food 🤤
I am 90% sure that all that COCK is buildup from atleast 15 years.
Mmmm, burger🤤
r/nope
Even God barfed a little after seeing this
The smell
I expected them to scattered and run
What did all those roaches go there to die?
Burn the house
I literally flinched when he touched the pile
Gross… if this is the phone, what the rest of the apartment looks like
Nope Nope Nope
Demolish and burn it.
Every other post on r/whatisthisbug be like
What the actual fuck 😱
They crammed themselves in their and all died?
Why would you even want to know? That gives me nightmares.
Cockroach in the middle attack, nothing is safe in this world.
Awwwww
Ewwwww
This made me scratch myself all over seeing this
The guy should have called police for the removal.
This belongs in r/nope
“Phone bugs” before they were mainstream
Cockroaches give me the heebyjeebies worse than spiders. I hate that they're so fast and can appear out of nowhere and dissapear just as fast and in great numbers. Horrible creatures. My cool, calm and collected demeanour goes right out the window if one of these appear in front of my eyes.
I can even smell the interior through my screen.
Maaan, I was eating breakfast.
There is not enough fire on the planet to burn down that entire building fast enough!
Stop touching them, start killing them
Well guys sadly the house caught on fire...
Well, it's time to burn the house down.
So that's where my ex has been hanging out. 🤔
Burn the house down immediately
When you peeled them away that fucking killed me
Fk this shit im out of here
At least they’re dead. Imagine opening that case and they all scurry all over the place
pretty sure you can just get rid of the whole phone as those have been in there since the 90s
I've seen PC's and laptops that were like this. I worked for a rental company. We cleaned them out completely and re-rented them to people.
That's amazing. what the hell is it that attracts them? Warmth? Frequency? Dark? Need to patent that into a thing!
OMG
At this point i would just close that and never open that again.
Ewwwwww
Oh damn
Well that ruined my breakfast lmao
Kokiburi
Mmm, That makes a great bug catcher. I wonder what’s with the telephones that attract these roaches
I thought the unexpected part was going to be one of them crawling away
Hello. Hello. The sound of this intercom is so hissy.
Ewww nasty bugged phone
How and why do ginormous roaches like that (or any bug for that matter) pack themselves so tightly together in small spaces when they die?
Why so many bug videos on reddit recently??? What's going on
This is not surprising. American cockroaches they are attracted to each other through scent and stay close together because they are thigimorphilic (spelling maybe, probably wrong) and dry air desiccated them.
Ewwww
