This always makes me think. Cockroaches don’t bite, are not venomous, basically can’t do us any harm. I’m not afraid of wild dogs, spiders, tarantulas, scorpions, snakes, wolves, hyenas, wild hogs, bears (encountered them all) but I might actually scream if I get surprised by a cockroach.

I think this collective fear of cockroaches that we have cannot be without reason and must have an evolutionary reason.

    The American / German ones are the ones that reproduce very fast and can take over very quickly.

    Especially the ones with botched, blond hair transplants that keep getting elected by an army of doofuses.

        Haha, true, Drumpf is only a 2nd-gen immigrant… not so German anymore.
