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 1 month ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month 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 month ago

Even further off.

You're in a thread asking about boat related stuff

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, asking questions about boats.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, about insects that live on and around boats.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month 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 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So we only get water spiders and etc.?

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 1 month 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.
