Did you know that fruit flies are completely immune to the downsides of inbreeding? In fact, they prefer to fuck their family instead of strangers. The more you know!
I just further educated myself by reading another paper and it turns out that while they do show preference for inbreeding it negatively affect them in the long term. Not completely immune but much more immune than humans.
It seems to lower their physical fitness but boosts their learning and escape response capabilities.
Fascinating, because inbred homo sapiens have a higher chance of paranoid schizophrenia. Higher learning capability by enhanced pattern recognition with the double edged offset of being paranoid, noticing patterns where there are none.
During the winter I use a tall jar located in a warm spot in my kitchen, maybe 6" or 8" and fairly narrow, about 2" or so. Drop small bits of particularly tasty fruit, such as banana, strawberry, peach, raspberry, cantaloupe, honey dew. Not strongly citric like orange, lemon, kiwi. Keep the lid nearby. About twice a day I gently screw the lid on when there are a bunch of fruit flies in the jar. Walk outside (below freezing) and open the jar, gently blow into it and watch them all fly out into the cold and start dropping and freezing on the ground. Bring jar back inside and repeat. About four or five days, a week tops. All gone. No mess. Make sure there are no other food sources to attract them and everything in the house will follow the scent to your jar.
how is it that ANY time you leave out food, these fuckers ALWAYS appear like clockwork? like you could have the cleanest place and they will still be summoned. like how?
My house has always been infested with these because I’m a disgusting rat. They lay their eggs underneath the fruit or food that they’re attracted to and the maggots will hide. Pick up a rotten banana or something and you’ll see a ton of maggots.
Once I was being disturbed by a huge bloated fly buzzing around in my home, it was like a whole centimeter long. I didn't have/know much about killing flies so I just grabbed a spray bottle of general cleaning fluid and shot it down. When I picked up the corpse with a paper towel to dispose of it, I saw maggots desperately crawling out of the corpse trying to flee. Objectively it's not that bad but the shock and furious disgust I experienced probably ranks it at #2 most repulsive sight I've seen.
>spawn from the ether
For like 2 millennia it was basically scientific consensus that flies and other pests literally just spontaneously generated into existence in the presence of certain materials. The truth is much more horrifying: there are secret eggs all over the place, already on your food and waiting in your drains, vents, and appliances.
No, idiot. It's spontaneous generation. Maggots are spontaneously generated from rotting meat. It's the year of our Lord 1865, how do you not know this already?
Have a friend who left bananas out on their kitchen counter for awhile. The end of the banana turned brown and had multiple holes spaced around the patch. The flies lazily hovered around it like bees and a hive.
I told them to throw the bananas out, but they cut the gross end off and put the rest in the freezer for smoothies. I avoid their cooking now.
their and them are plural. a proper pronoun would be his or her, or him or her. if sex is unknown, masculine pronouns are the default, unless the subject (nurse, secretary, etc) is usually female. your friend sounds like he doesn't want to waste his money by throwing food away, admirable really.
Dicktionary updated this decade and they/them is now grammatically fine instead of insisting on he/she. Next your gonna complain about cursive no longer being taught in schools.
They/them has been used as a singular pronoun for hundreds of years chud. He/him was never intended to be default, it just became a default thanks to a language influenced by patriarchy.
Anyway, why did you bring this up in Fuck Bug Thread, only to end up being wrong anyway, you fucking normie. Fuck fruit flies.
I'm still surprised how this is STILL not common knowledge.
Getting rid of those retarded flies is literally the easiest fucking thing ever compared to other fuckers.
This, works like a charm. I think it works for gnats too. I used to live in an area with lots of gnats because of the types of plants around there would attract them.

Oh damn I had a similar experience too. I blocked that from my memory.
I had a similar thing with killing a spider with lots of baby spiders running away. I can't remember what I did to kill them because they were fast. I'm sure one or two got away.

How does that work?

Whats so bad about them, they put free protein in your fruit?

food smells
flies have good sense of smell
flies are everywhere
I don't even see the maggots. There will be 1 flying around, a few hours later, 12 spawn from the ether

They are actually already in the fruits you take home.
That's why they appear out of "nowhere"

You had a potato that fell out of the bag in one of your cupboards.

wtf, you can buy a new set of bananas for less than $2
wtf, you can grow a banana palm for $1!
>set of bananas
It's called a bunch, Rajesh.
Did you include this webm of a bear committing casual theft just because it has some bananas in it

anon that is absolutely not how English works
>if sex is unknown, masculine pronouns are the default
Absolutely wrong, stop being so painfully 21st century American.

Nagging about pronouns is still annoying and pedantic when non-SJWs do it

put that under one of those zevo lights and in a couple of days they will be all gone
also bleach down the drain just to double check

this but put one of those yellow sticky things in there for them to land on or they just stay on the edges a lot
