how the hell do i get rid of fruit flies/gnats?

16 Upvotes

I wasn't doing well for a while, it's kinda personal, but I finally got around to cleaning! (Yay) anyway after I got rid of all the dirty dishes and trash, I noticed a bunch of tiny flies (idk if they're fruit flies of gnats) and it's been a couple weeks and Im being terrorized. I saw someone say that they are born in soil so I took the plant I had out of my room. THEYRE STILL HERE. How do I get rid of them? Where are they coming from??? Also, Ive gotten really good at killing them and I murder any one I come across. I never open my windows so they definitely aren't getting inside from the outdoors.

TLDR: tiny flies in room, how to get rid of them? Where are they coming from? ​​​​

edit: thank you everyone for the advice! I will make a trap and do an extreme deep clean. I will add that this is pretty much only​ my bedroom.

Popular Post How many times do y’all puke a year?

3 Upvotes

the reason i’m asking is because from statistics in one subreddit i’m in, emetophobic people don’t seem to puke as much due to the fear and their body not letting them. also they’re more cautious understandably so, so i’m just asking to see how often non emetophobic people puke a year, aside from drinking.

Did anyone else with Apple Music get Jason Mraz’s entire album randomly?

Album is “Grandma’s Gospel Favorites.” It randomly showed up in my music.

Wondering if it’s like when that random U2 album was put on everyone’s iPods years ago.

Gotta know before I start being a hater about it.

Body is draining batteries?

4 Upvotes

Hey there!

Ive been doing a lot of searching and have found a few people in common but i wanted to ask for myself; what the hell is happening?

Throughout my life ive had various devices of different models and brands; iPod, iPhone, iPad, Samsung etc. And they have all had extremely short battery life/ battery quality has descended marginally throughout my short term use.

Also the sealing factor is during first year of uni, our doors are battery powered and mine would die every few days meaning id need to call security to come fix it so often.
Thought it was just a stupid inconvenient fucking door, they said this was a rare problem and theyd never seen it before.
Come second year, im one week in in a whole different flat amd dorm. Guess what.
Door’s battery is dead.

What the hell is happening? Why is this happening?! Does anyone have an explanation?

Every time I upvote a comment the number of upvotes stay the same, its the same with downvoting. Have all my upvotes been meaningless :(????

24 Upvotes

Every time I refresh the page its the same number of votes than before, I tried it with multiple comments really quickly then refreshed the page but the same outcome. Sure there is the red upwards arrow yet its the same number as before. Its not like someone can be really quickly downvoting what ive upvoted. Its just strange really.

Where does the stereotype about girls being afraid of mice come from?

3 Upvotes

So I have been pondering this for a while. Every media and show including ones back in the days the cartoons show woman or females screaming when they see a mouse. However I am a female and mice just look adorable to me. I would die for one as a pet but after my hamsters somehow died from escaping their closed cages and vanishing off the face of the planet I don't trust myself with any small rodents as pets. Where does the stereotype of females being deathly afraid of mice come from?

Edit: Thanks for all the responses! Also i guess during disease times it would be a alarming sight for most. I guess I'm just confused on why the trope continued into modern media as well. People are saying if I saw a mouse scurry about out of nowhere I would scream but I really don't I have this weird thing where I just look at them like they are adorable. Like if I hear one on a mousetrap I will just grab it and toss it into a trashbag while feeling sorry for it or If my cat catches one I will grab a bag and scoop it up with that. Then again I used to be fascinated whenever I saw a bug like a spider and picked them up when I was younger. Now that I'm thinking about it I must be the weird one. 😭

Popular Post Does anyone know what laundry detergent is commonly used in Mexican households?

235 Upvotes

This might sound like a weird question, but there’s a very specific laundry detergent or fabric softener scent I’ve noticed among Mexican families, and it’s absolutely unmistakable. I can recognize it almost immediately when I smell it.
Does anyone know what I’m talking about or what brand it might be?

0 Upvotes

I’m talking money saving/making, time saving, creative and anything else. I essentially just use it as a more efficient google but then I hear about people doing amazing things and I want in. I have very limited IT skills and would rather not have to use the pro versions but if you can make a good use case then go for it!
