This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That is actually why they are called earwigs, its an old english word that’s describing the shape of their wings which kind of looks like a human ear.

So you’re telling me it’s NOT because they like to crawl into your ears while you’re asleep?

This is blowing my mind right now... Those things gave me nightmares as a kid thinking they crawl into people's ears...
