Those are waxworms, not maggots. Maggots eat dead meat exclusively. Waxworms are kinda like mealworms but they'll get into your grains and **** if theres liquid in them. Raisins were a pretty good jump. I get flour beetles constantly. Had to throw away everything in my pantry recently because of them. Nasty **** .
recently i bought a large box of dog bones from bj's. the kind that are actually just cookies shaped as bones, i just leave the open box on the floor of my kitchen and my dog will go in and grab 1 whenever he feels like it, after about 2 weeks i started noticing dozens of little moth things flying throughout my kitchen and dining room, i was looking around for the source and finally found out that the entire cardboard box of dog biscuits was infested with little worms just like those things, they were literally inside the cardboard.
TL:dr BJ's sold me a box of dog biscuits infested with moth larva.
I accidentally ate one (or more) of those. No idea where they came from, poured me some milk and oatmeal without really looking down my bowl. I eat pretty much everything until i had to start scraping at the bottom when i notice one of those buggers. Might have fallen in at some point (we have lots of plants in our house) but i'm still alive, so i figure they're not deadly to eat.
There are people who fry them and eat them like popcorn, actually. You can cultivate them and have them whenever, if you really want to. A lot of people use them as fishing bait. I don't know if I could stomach that, but apparently they're really tasty.
Yeah, about the same thing happened to me, but the circumstances were pretty nasty.
*Watch out for backstory*
So there was this dude about two floors above where i live, he didnt speak to anyone and no one saw him. One day, i was chilling at home when the door bell rings. I go out to check who it is, its the paramedics. Okay, so i let them in, but i stay close to my front door so i can hear them when they were coming down. I hear them and open up my door a bit to see what was going on, not the best idea. They were coming down with this guy who looked like he was on the brink of death and we made eye contact, at which point i closed my door.
Later on i heard about how it was this guy who was living in his own filth. He had a room filled with empty plastic bottles and the bathroom was filled with so much cobweb it was obvious he wasnt using the toilet. I also heard he died in the hospital. But it is an apartment complex, and that is an unused apartment, so they hired some people to go up and clean up the apartment. All of the apartments below that nasty one got mealworms in all their stuff.
TL;DR Dude dont know how to live, doesnt clean, dies, people get hired to clean his nasty ass flat, everybody gets mealworms.
same here had to throw out a ton of rice, flour, grains and other things... kinda pissed, not sure who the **** left a bad of rice open but it spread like crazy.
I've literally never heard of or seen either bagged milk or canned bread in my life. Canned hotdogs is normal-ish. Just like you guys have whole canned chickens, but in slime instead of brine.
**anonymous used "*roll picture*"** **anonymous rolled image** isnt stuff in a can supposed to have an indefinite expiration date? i mean, im not poor and its no apocalypse so i would throw it out if it gets even remotely close to the date but still.... you couldve easily eaten those hotdogs man
my friend cleaned out his mother's pantry back in 2013 and had a similar experience.
he found wax worms in a granola bar he had already started eating.
It was a sealed.
He also found unopen chocolate frosting that expired in 2006.
When he opened it, it smelled like vinegar, so i think it fermented somehow.
Oh **** cunt you don't even know. I used to have to live at my sisters house, right. Couple years back now. I would sleep on this half assed excuse for a mattress on the lounge room floor, which is also sort of the kitchen. Right next to each other, no doors or walls, just you know, there.
Anyway, my sister and brother in law would feed their dog some canned dog food meat stuff in the evening. Pretty normal right. But they had a tendency to not throw that can away in the outside bin, just ******* leave it there in the kitchen, with some chunks of meat still in it. More than once there was just...maggots. All over the god damn floor, maggots. One time, I woke up and there was maggots all on the ground. I didn't see any in my bed when I woke up, but, I did find some crawling on it later.
I can not even begin to tell you how much I hated living in that house, or how much I hate maggots.
hankhillofthe, you are an absolutely excellent FJ OC maker. Even if it involves some disgusting **** . Check your cereal for the next few months and stay disease free.
Adios
Also, Check out the lunar eclipse tonight! If you can.
the only reason I'm not grossed out about this is because I have this thing right outside my doorstep It's a one way jar with some fly attractant, takes 3-4 days for the attractant to mature, but is insanely effective, this was taken about 5 days after a new batch was used.
im sorry if this sounds stupid but... what is that for? I would assume a fly trap of some sort but it seems like its just a breeding ground. Can't quite see if black stuff is dead flies or the attractant (pellet/brick??)
The grey, murky liquid beneath is the attractant, the black stuff is the pile of dead flies, the idea is the fly in through a mechanism they cant fly back out of, and they drown in the stuff that attracted them, only issue here is they come in such numbers that drowning quickly becomes living on a pile of dead corpses while their young feast upon the flesh of their parents slight issue is the maggots can sometimes crawl back out, though a quick blast of fly spray once in a while helps that.
that works. Personally, I'd shove it through my neighbor's mail slot. They cut down a few of my trees when I went away last year. They asked me because they wanted to put a pool on their property but didn't want to deal with leaves. I said no, town backed me on it when they went to complain. Suddenly come home and trees are gone. Police didn't do **** .
oh yeah. ******* pricks. I have to take all my groceries into the house at once or lock the car in between trips because their trashy kids have been taught to snag what they can when we're not looking. Caught them doing it too. Want to do many illegal things to these assholes
considering it. They might be moving soon (please please please please). If not, I'm related to the guy who plows our roads in this area of the town in the winter. He already offered to just 'accidentally' box them in. These guys cleared out with garden shovels last year because I won't let them borrow anything. Should be fun to watch
Sounds like a hellraiser.
Reminds me of when we had a real asshole cop around, we knew he floored the hell out of his bike through a pass, so a local truck driver just 'happened' to spill some diesel right around a corner in front of an old bulldozer dirt pile, sure enough, came flying around, didn't see the hazard comes, went straight through and wound up shoulders deep in a pile of dirt.
Suffice to say he did not last long
