You tried it , didn’t you?
With a body part of your own smaller than a child’s finger?
Not something I’d tell the world if I were you!

I actually did, there’s that thing called fingertip. I have children over occasionally.
That said, it’s not my problem that you have an inferiority complex about your micropenis and need to make everything about it even thouth the topic is entirely unrelated. You should talk with your shrink about it.
funny conversation. Touching two wires that both don’t have electricity on (1.2V?) - big deal. 
I just ordered that thing - 6 days until I can pick it up - my subconscious seems traumatized, it clicked for two at first.
Not seen a single fly again since the big bloodbath. Even dared to open the windows again (only the protected ones of course) after the heavy rain.
Why order for pickup though?
Check availability, your shop probably has about a dozen in stock.
(who says it wasn’t On when I checked? Nope, you definitely don’t want to try. Least of all with your tongue like an infant might)
it’s not available at my Landi, that’s why the waiting. Were in in stock I could pick it up tomorrow.
I actually like to order to pick up, saves me searching around the shop. I don’t like shopping so this is perfect for me.
As to the conversation about the danger of it: I wouldn’t know. You said it’s only on when pushing the button, sounds like safe enough for me. But I don’t have any children so … but now you have me tempted 
Well, curiosity killed the cat.
You’ve been warned

It’s not really the flies that are the issue, we have the nets to stop mosquitos.
The miniscule reduction in airflow caused by the netting is infinitely preferable to misquoting bites.
Personally we find those tennis racquet things pretty useless.
Curiosity maybe, but not the fly frazzler!
Seriously, the one of the first things I did with ours when I first got it was give it to the kids and told them to see if they could shock themselves with it.
They couldn’t. People are really bad at judging risk - Teenagers are the worst but you’d expect adults to be a bit more aware.
You get those who smoke regularly but refused to get the COVID vaccine, for example.
One woman apparently did hurt herself with one of these fly swatter though - she had covered her legs in rubbing alcohol to sooth her mosquito bites and then swatted a mosquito on her leg - which set fire to the alcohol and she suffered second-degree burns (and got an honorable mention in the Darwin Awards too).
Personally, I like swatting them with a hand - I’m pretty successful.
The trick is to know that when they launch (because of an impending attack), they do so by jumping slightly backwards.
You just need to aim for a position slightly behind them for success.
Not tried with chop sticks though.
time flies, eh? no, can’t cause they fly too fast…
Roll up screens were great, though required lots of holes. We installed them but decided to remove them during the renovation of the house not to have problems with owners later when we decide to move out. We have installed the normal screens afterwards and now we have no access to shutters anymore, because they are old style. But it’s the price to live without insects at home.
In the previous apartment I had a invasion of the green shield bugs once from the sunny side of the apartment.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana…

Wow. Gives new meaning to “natural” decor.
yes but they are disgusting.
Chasing two flies at the moment, one is dead, the other one is very fit. None of them showed interest in the fly-trap.
No. If you like looking at dead flies they are very therapeutic. And yes it takes time for them to catch on. At the start the flies were slow sticking, but they seen to be attracted by their desiccated cousins.
You should have put your microdick to good use instead of expecting children to do the gruntwork for you.
Proudly displaying the corpses of my foes…I feel like something is awakening in me, Obsidian blades, neatly ordered skulls.
Well, no more wine, better go to sleep

You all need to make belts with “Seven at One Blow” embroidered on them. Grimm would be pleased.

Yes. Same here in the garden. Hundreds of them. All with this greeish/blue glow. They seemed to like the hydrangea bush.
Bluebottles’ main purpose is to recycle and dispose of dead animals by eating them.
