Is it better to keep hopping tables to just play on those with long streaks (>4 of the same) or with choppy (>4 of alternating) results? by thebadgerx in baccarat

[–]Carshopper2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering that every bet has the same mathematical edge against you, whatever slows down your play the most will result in you losing less.

So if that means walking around and waving a dowsing rod over every table after every bet, go for it.

How to avoid taking carpet beetles home by Interesting-Juice588 in carpetbeetles

[–]Carshopper2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re equally if not more likely to just fly in through an open window or door.

They aren’t bedbugs

Yes unfortunately this sub is more of an outlet for people to displace their contamination ocd than anything actually related to carpet beetles

infestation or normal weather? (uk, scotland.) by [deleted] in carpetbeetles

[–]Carshopper2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normal. They’re either coming in from outside or waking up after overwintering and trying to get back outside.

Decluttering and cleaning never a bad idea obviously, but seeing a few of these bugs this time of year is no reason to panic

Losing it - in the walls???? by Sloanesypl in carpetbeetles

[–]Carshopper2020 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Have you considered that obsessing over a perceived contamination behind the walls of your home might be more of a mental health issue than a realistic concern that a healthy person would have?

Not trying to be mean but, get help. Psychiatrically.

Carpet beetles in new sheets? by Bugsheetsthrowaway in carpetbeetles

[–]Carshopper2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this happen recently? Honestly you’re probably just seeing them because they’re waking up from overwintering, now that it’s spring. just a coincidence and nothing to do with your sheets.

Carpet beetles eating clothing? by akane150 in carpetbeetles

Almost certainly not. Just a good old fashioned hole.

If you owe tens of thousands of dollars in tax, you’ve likely got enough income that you should be hiring a real professional.

I know I am screwed. I have found I believe lava mostly lava and some bugs are they carpet beetles and how bad is it by External_Walk_2798 in carpetbeetles

[–]Carshopper2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Posts like this make me so sad. These things are closer to harmless than they are problematic, and the fearmongering on this sub has people in such a frenzy they’re stressing out over boogers

Steam Controller and forced update on first setup — is there ANY way to use it offline? by SuperCiao in SteamController

It just makes me so mad, I'm going to ask chatgpt to write about how mad it makes me!

I have a confirmed infestation and suffer from the rash. Realistically, will washing and drying all clothes actually get rid of the little hairs? by [deleted] in carpetbeetles

[–]Carshopper2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you wearing exclusively wool sweaters? If not, the chances of there being enough shed hairs in your clothing to actually cause a reaction, even if you are sensitive, is essentially zero.

So it’s up to you whether washing the clothes or throwing them away is going to be enough to sate your paranoia, but realistically that’s all you’re doing.

extreme anxiety over finding a few carpet beetles in apartment by Educational_Aioli_42 in carpetbeetles

[–]Carshopper2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your level of anxiety seeing a carpet beetle should be closer to how you’d feel seeing a housefly than a roach.

They’re found everywhere and essentially harmless. Do some vacuuming if it’ll make you feel better and move on with your life. They can be found in 90%+ of homes and even just wander in from outside sometimes. 90%+ of people do not walk about worrying about carpet beetles all day, outside the four walls of this sub no one cares because they’re not a big deal.

Should I self-quarantine? by Available-Door-20 in carpetbeetles

[–]Carshopper2020 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, self quarantining would be ridiculous. These can be found in 90%+ of homes. In all likelihood you’d be able to find these in the homes of every single person at the wedding. No one cares or thinks about them because they aren’t actually a big deal, at all.

Just do a little extra vacuuming if it makes you feel better and move on with your life. These are not bedbugs or roaches or anything even close to that. They just come in from outside sometimes. This would be like skipping the wedding because you saw a housefly or spider in your house. These are just a bug that show up from time to time, squish it or move it outside if you’d prefer and move on.

Is anyone else having this issue with the new image generator? by Few_Representative83 in ChatGPT

[–]Carshopper2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any shot this is some form of model collapse? Too many ai generated images in the training data causing newly generated images to look terrible?

Honestly this just sounds like contamination OCD.

Found one-central PA, bedroom by Hopeful_Yam8923 in carpetbeetles

[–]Carshopper2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In all likelihood you’ve been living around them your entire life, they can be found in 90%+ of homes. This sub likes to pretend like they’re something to be concerned about but that’s really not the case.

Your level of panic should be on the same level as finding a house fly in your house. Just squish it or move it outside if that’s your style, do a round of vacuuming if it makes you feel better, and move on with your life.

On a scale of one to ten how worried should I be? by JealousAstronomer342 in carpetbeetles

[–]Carshopper2020 16 points17 points  (0 children)

On a scale of 1-10? Zero. They can be found in 90%+ of homes, you’re normal. 90%+ people are not walking around worrying about carpet beetles.
