Dude chill. Don't step down to their level. Show the creature some mercy. You've tortured enough by keeping it in that mason jar. Let it go and break the cycle of violence

Fuck that. I spent 10 minutes looking for it during one attempt only to find it crawling on my freaking bed. The only reason I am even up right now is because I am washing my sheets and blankets because of that vile fucking thing. It left like, this weird black dust.
Oh God, it left weird black dust. π°π°π°
It's, it's not gonna infect me, is it?
Those things don't lay eggs in people, do they?
Yes that actually is kind of a serious question. π°π°π°π°π°π°
You will probably have transformed into a monstrous vermin when you awake from uneasy dreams tomorrow morning.
Bring the creature outside and release it, let it tell tales about the mighty human warriors and the incredible mercy they showed for such an inferior being.
Unless it has given unmistakable evidence of possessing high intelligence, torture is pointless. It doesn't understand its transgression, or how you feel, let alone they'll ever be able to link the cause of their suffering as a consequence of such transgression.
I would suggest you re evaluate the costs and benefits of making this alien suffer. It's likely not that convenient for you anyway.
And no, no aliens lay eggs on people. The dust is already unusual.
I don't know; I think that thing plenty understood the terror it put me through when it tried to fly into my face.
Okay, all joking aside, that thing does have to be killed regardless and it's too strong to be smooshed, voice of experience. I just need to meditate and figure out how.
Well if you must kill it you can spray insecticide in the jar and cover it quickly. Otherwise you can just leave it in the jar.
I prefer the swift death with a chancla though, I find the first two options take too long, in particular the second, and these aliens can stay alive for more than a week in captivity. Since you can't use the chancla I would recommend the spray.
Water should do the trick. It has to breathe something.
A slow death by drowning does seem appropriate. I could even pop a hole in the top to stop it escaping while I pour the water in.
I hope they can't swim π°
Seek mental help. Your desire to torture a bug, to cause pain purely for the sake of causing pain, demonstrates a troubled mind.
Can I ship it to your house then?
I'd probably set it up in front of a tv set to evangelical christian ministers asking it for money in exchange for miracles.
That is actually not a bad idea
These things crave attention. It will be loving getting this social media clout. I heard the most tortuous thing you can do to these monsters is put it outside and forget about it. They HATE the silent treatment.
But what if it gets back inside?
I think you've got it backwards. Most likely this is the creature's ancestral homeland where thousands of generations found a niche with enough food and safety to reproduce to this day.
That means YOU are the alien and invaded by parking your ship (house) here.
Most likely it just wanted to escape, and get back to a place with food and a mate. It doesn't understand why it's trapped. Imagine if you were out in the forest and fell though the roof of a cave, then found yourself trapped with an angry bear. Kinda of like that.
The bug didn't set out to frighten you. So you're already torturing it by keeping it confined. I would find the nearest nature park or reservation and let it go there.
Nah fam, evolution doesn't work that way and humanity didn't rise to the top by submitting to the will of evil hell monstrosities simply because they were there first. Elvis was there before Michael Jackson, did that stop MJ from beating most of his sales records, marrying his daughter and claiming the title of King of Pop? Nope.
That thing could possibly spread diseases, too, and might wander its way back into my house, or someone else's, and who would I be if I brought that kind of horror upon an unwitting neighbor? What if it bit somebody, or a house pet?
Does human life hold such little value to you that you are willing to choose a literal evil entity over one of your fellow humans?
That thing needs to die, and I shall kill it as soon as I think of an execution method I find suitable.
I'm not saying you have to welcome this thing anywhere near your house (I wouldn't either). But I'm not sure you have the healthiest relationship with our fellow living beings. I recommend some David Attenborough documentaries as a bit of cleansing, might help you feel better.
So you caught a moth in a mason jar? I heard on the internet the other day that some moths don't even have mouths, they just live to bang. I'm sure you'll think of something.
What in the thorazine deficiency is this post
Itβs unhinged!
Is thorazine deadly to aliens or insects? π€ If so, it would be a viable execution method
Lol so funny π€£
Looks like a fine alien to take on a bass fishing trip..
I am debating between that and some kind of chemical. Those things have to have pain receptors no matter what fucking hell planet they come from, so logic denotes there must be some chemical I can dump on it to cause it excruciating agony.
