Ok now I'm curious about what the fuck the two centipedes I found in my basement that I thought were fucking were actually doing. They sure looked like they were fucking.

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 179 points 1 year ago

They were wrestling. Go back to bed.

"Step-centipede, what are you doing?!"

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

[-] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 114 points 1 year ago

Maybe they were those queer centipedes that fuck in person. Degenerates

[-] oce@jlai.lu 41 points 1 year ago

There are way, way more "centipede monster girl" image results... DuckDuckGo/Google

Caterpillar girls are fine though.

Eww, making it a head tail is so much worse!

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 17 points 1 year ago

Just makes me wonder if it's a centipede girl or a centipede that ate a girl's brain and puppets her body around.

Someone has already centipedized humans. This is the next step.

When two centipedes ~~love each other~~ are both really hungry...

[-] numberfour002@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

A disappointingly large proportion of the general population appears to be unable to tell the difference between centipedes and millipedes. Is it possible that the "centipedes" you saw were actually millipedes? If so, they may have been "fucking", or at least the millipede equivalent of it.

Additionally, it appears that this "fact" is actually wrong (big surprise, huh?). Many species of centipede do have courtship strategies that involve males and females meeting up. The sexes may even employ various forms of physical touch as part of the process. So, it's certainly possible that the critters you saw where centipedes courting each other.

Centipedes see other Centipedes as food, which is why they reproduce this way.

Source: made it up, but it seems logical. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The last time I left sperm packets on the ground I was branded a "pervert" and a "freak" and told to leave the restaurant immediately before they called the police.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 50 points 1 year ago

Have you tried growing 98 more legs first?

[-] criticon@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago

Or at least 28 more

Sooo are centipedes like fruit flies and not engage in any real form of sexual selection, or is the female going around judging the fuck out of every jizz pile she encounters?

"Mmm-mm, look at that poor viscosity, obviously from a low-quality male. This one on the other hand: deep color, firm texture, nice and sticky... clearly produced by a male with the superior genes I want to pass along to my offspring."

I'm upset no ones chimed in with a really technical breakdown and linked some studies
