I love tower defense games.
The SUPREME tower defense game was “Beat the Geek”.
Are you familiar?
Imagine if they just go straight towards the smell and create a bridge of dead slugs through the salt
And that’s why you need to use aluminium instead.
Found a slug trail almost all the way to their room… but no mention of finding the slug.
Natural selection
I was a wee little lad when a neighborhood friend showed me what happens to a slug when you pour salt on it, how anyone can see that and condone or joke about the use is akin to gas chambers being “effective” for the nazis or death sentences.
Slugs are amazing, their benefits are like worms, birds, and legumes super packed into tiny squishy guys (they compost, spread seeds, and are a good protein source for nature (link)).
Slugs also don’t just “show up” and sneak into the house. If you’ve got a gap under the door like that then EVERYTHING is getting in and your entrance is about as energy efficient as a barn door (for the love of god just get an under door weatherstrip for 10$ even if you rent).
Slugs rely on very moist conditions, your gutter/foundation drainage at that point should be a priority and will 100% make the problem naturally go away. If they’re in your house, you should be concerned about possible health complications with whatever conditions are making it a viable habitat for them (probably an open crawlspace with plumbing leaks and water pooling from improper grading). I would probably be worrying about mold and termites more at that point than some slimy guys.
This is how you end up with hyper slugs a few generations down the line
Guess that’s what OOP’s trying to selectively breed
What kind of shit houses are you guys building over there?
Looks like low budget college housing. I doubt anywhere is so perfect that a slug can’t slip under the door of a low budget college home.
It doesn’t take much of a gap for a slug to get in. They could probably get into your home if you were in a wet enough climate with enough slugs.
Sorry, what? Is this what you’re used to? Doors so crappy that slugs can wriggle through?
Disgusting.
Carpet.
IDK but since amoeboid organism can solve maze surely slung can do it too.
This is how you breed an army of unstoppable super-slugs.
Nice of you to draw an arrow to indicate the start, must be very helpful to them.
An arrow made of salty death.
slug slips under door and plows head first into salt arrow

Holy shit. What a throw back. That was one of my mates at university who did that, the exact post. It must be about 15 years old
You’re a flipping legend for posting the update! Cheers!!
Your mate is hilarious!
Well then what happened? Did one complete the gauntlet?

I think after that he got a bunch of ants because of the jam, so resulted to slug pellets. Don’t remember exactly, as it was 13 years ago to the day.
So what happened!?

Did the slugs just use the sides of the door frame to skip over the edges of the maze?

Seriously, who doesn’t realize slugs can climb up walls?
Did he awaken to a scattered graveyard of slugs or did one actually make it?

Hello nice to meet you, now that we know each other I will post that I know the friend of a guy who posted this photo, thank you.
You think that’s impressive? I’ve responded to a comment from someone who spoke to the friend of the guy that posted this video.
So what you’re saying is you are able to update us with the results?

Thanks for the reply!
I expect the maze to be massive, spanning the entire house by now. Anything else and I would be incredibly disappointed.
Tower Defence in real life.
Sounds like he’s immortal.
