Are you farming the cockroaches for protein/milking them or something? I can't fathom any other reason why anyone would want cockroaches other that these weird cases I read about on some science magazine.

Edit: just remembered they can be used as food for pets.

That's why I always carry my tapeworm with me wherever I go!

extreme loneliness meet cockroaches? Hmmm... Make it set in Cthulhu mythos, sprinkle some kafka metamorphosis and you got yourself a nice PS1 styled indie horror game.

You can have fun with your 500 closest friends

If you've got 500 you'll have 5000 in a week if they're the bad kind.

Your edit is correct. Food for the lizards.

Dang, y'all really jump to the worst options first. 😕

It's too late, I've already added the tag "cockroach milker" next to your username

Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
