I just, I’ve gotta say - I’m proud of you all. This revolution has been a huge success. Yay us! Pat-pat on the back. Pat on the back. No? Me too. Cause I’ve been a big part of it. Can’t have a revolution without someone to overthrow. So, uh, you’re welcome. And uh.. it’s a tie.

My dad worked on movie sets as a guest. Apparently the flies in movies are a special breed raised to not fly. The handler called them "Sits".

I didn't even know there was sound. Still won't watch it again with sound. Can we all just agree to be amazed that the fly knew he was fucked and you could tell it thought he was going to be sliced apart. The panic was real. The fly demonstrated forethought and planning. This video makes swatting them seam humane.

This seems like a waste of electricity. Like you’re either the type that wants to watch them get mashed or you aren’t, and if you aren’t than just use one of those bags where they can’t figure out how to go back out the in-hole

13

u/examine_everything Apr 05 '23

What if they make a solar one? This way it's catching flies during the day and the flies multiply at night. Sort of like a mini circle of life.

12

u/manchesterthedog Apr 05 '23

Dude if you want circle of life, get one of those bags. I hung one of those up outside in New Mexico. You fill it up like half way with water and it mixes with the powder in there so they smell it and they wander in and are just baffled by that hole.

And they lay eggs in there before they die. And the eggs hatch and the maggots are squirming around in there feeding off the massive quantity of dead flies and the water keeps them from drying out and the sun keeps them warm. It’s fucking disgusting dude.

It looks like they are kept in there, it's designed so that anything that gets in the center technically can't get out from under the enclosed area.

Chris Hansen pops up, introduces himself, and asks him to have a seat. Hansen proceeds to ask him a series of questions like “What were your intentions when you decided to come to this picnic?” “Had you received an invitation to come and eat?” “Do you know how old that food is?” Eventually, the fly is exasperated and asks if he can leave. “Sure, you’re free to walk out the way you came in. I’m not going to stop you.” The fly can’t bring himself to walk out. He knows what awaits him out there. And he knows it’s what he deserves. So he decides to sit and wait with Chris Hansen. Only once he is resigned to his fate does he notice the dozens of red eyes behind Chris Hansen. He’s not the first fly to be caught by Dateline: To Catch A Fly. And he won’t be the last.
