It really cuts my gears into pieces reading posts like this where people just take things without checking. My last resort is to go search if its true.

IDGAF if it looks like penis, the Latin name is Megaloblatta longipennis. Longi is the inflexion of longus which means long. Pennis is the inflection of penna which can mean feather, wing or fin.

So "longwings"

I've never learned kung fu as fast as I have the times that a giant cockroach has made its appearance on my lanai.

Idk why but this sounds like a plausible Golden Girls reference.

[–] chloroken@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Cockroaches are insects. Insects have wings. Very, very few exceptions.

"The roach, of course, is called so because it resembles a cockroach."

"What the fuck? This guy's outta his mind... A joint roach doesn't look anything like a fucking cockroach!"

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

The only roach infestation I might be okay with. Maybe.
