We met someone like that and they were considered homeless by the city, lol. I think they were annoyed at that.

Seattle is full of people that live on boat as an affordable alternative. You can't be squeamish about insects or get seasick easily because of the storms. I couldn't do it myself, but I've known quite a few that have.

What kinda insects we talking about here?

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 days ago

Water spiders, gnats, etc. You know, bugs you see in a boathouse or in the bathrooms around water.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Why would you assume that I spend time on boathouses or aquatic bathrooms?

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 days ago

Lol, I assume everyone has been camping near a lake or something. That's what I meant by bathrooms on water. If you have ever been by a pier, look underneath, that's a good tell as well.

A Space Noodle is a relative of a Pool Noodle, is it not?

Eh, water navy, space navy, close enough; I could see how some would get confused

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Even further off.

You're in a thread asking about boat related stuff

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, asking questions about boats.

[-] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago

You haven't asked a single question about boats, only about insects.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, about insects that live on and around boats.

[-] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago

Right, so why are you surprised that boat related context is the answer to your question

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago

I'm not surprised, I'm asking why someone would assume I hang around boats a lot when I'm asking questions about what's around boats.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

We don't really have gnats here in Seattle. It's great.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

So we only get water spiders and etc.?

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago

I've never seen those here, either. And they don't sound like much of a pest since they wouldn't be flying around biting you.
