Do roaches have life figured out? (Details)
They cannot ,physically, go backwards. Only forward,left, or right.
Many of us humans focus too much on the past. Yet, we cannot go back in time. We cannot change our past decisions. Only move on,and try to learn from our perceived failings.
The roach is a simple bug. But it thrives. It has lived longer than most organisms on this planet. Untold calamities, and catastrophic events, have been overcome by the mighty roach. All without the ability to think about the past, or even back out of a hole….
Are,they on to something?

Whatever you’ve been drinking, smoking, and/or sniffing, I want some.
LOL
To answer the question, roaches may have something up in their antennae, who knows?
They also stink, live in the dark, and everybody hates them. When they die, eggs squirt out, even if the bug was not squished.
Still envious?
Many years ago I was doing a shift at an emergency room ats part of EMT training. One of the patients was a woman in her 50’s screaming wildly. “He’s trying to come out my froat!!! Lordy!!! Lordy!!! Aaahhhh!”
She also reeked from alcohol.
She said she had been drinking beer and a roach ran up her arm and into her ear.
Upon examination we could see the very back end of the roach. It seemed to be boring in. The staff put mineral oil in her ear, let it sit for a few minutes and putted the critter out – minus a leg or two.
She was a black woman – very overweight, boisterous and dramatic. (Although I can’t say as I blame her!)
I thought at first that she was hallucinating. The whole time she was kicking her legs and screaming. We pulled it out using alligator ear forceps.
After that incident I bought 2 sets for myself because they are such handy tools.
Roaches are a shining example of evolution – they evolved to suit their environment(s) and have not needed to change for thousands of years because they are so perfectly evolved.
I read some place that if there were a nuclear war and all mankind and mammals were destroyed, roaches are so hardy that they would still be here afterwards.
The reports that roaches will take over the world after a nuclear holocaust are greatly exaggerated. Roaches do not do well in cooler climates. Part of the reason for their success is how well they have adapted to humans.
Yeah, roaches have life figured out. About a million years ago they had a meeting and figured it all out. It’s all in the bible, in Kardashians 12:36.
@LuckyGuy . Yes. That’s why they get stuck in people’s ears, or in tight spots. They have no reverse.
Roaches only live in the present,or the future. Nature deemed the past irrelevant to them.
They have made themselves universally hated. What does that count for?
Nope. And they don’t care about the fact they can’t go in reverse. They don’t care about anything, and so, to answer the question, no, they have nothing “figured out.” They just exist. I would hate to be a roach.

but if you were a roach, you wouldn’t know you were roach.
I know. But I am not a roach now. Now I am self aware.
I think roaches know they are roaches. They may be simpletons, but I don’t think they think they are, say, cheese or flies. I’m pretty sure they are aware of their roach-like existence.
I don’t think they are. They don’t have the reasoning skills to know it.
^ Huh. How do you know that?
Because if they knew they were roaches, they would hate EACH OTHER.
What do you mean how do I know that @Sneki95? Just like I know ticks and worms are not self aware. They don’t go around thinking “I wonder what it would be like to be a dog?” They’re alive, they have instincts to keep them alive, but they certainly don’t ponder things.
@Dutchess_III What the beep do you know what they think? You just assume they know or don’t know shit. You’ve no idea, none of us does.
Oh come one. Settle down.
No I won’t. #justiceforroaches
You can believe whatever nonsense you want to. No skin off my back. Let’s quit talking about this.
They (roaches) just think differently than we do. They aren’t “stupid.”
OK. Well, compared to humans, and even dogs and ravens, they’re brain dead. They are composed of nothing but instinct.
Dutchess underestimates animals. Dutchess is mean, and a specie-ist.
Yeah. If they’re so dumb, how come they always know where to find the cheapest rent?
As the nun said to the vicar she caught with his trousers down…“what a load of cock”
