Twitter Has A Field Day After Someone's Landlord Hilariously Painted Over A Cockroach

People are less likely to complain about a landlord's bad paint job when moving into a new apartment after seeing a viral photo tweeted by @chellzyeah.

The Twitter user took a photo of a wall presumably coated by a fresh new coat of paint and an unfortunate cockroach who had a paint brush with fate after being at the wrong place and time.


"My landlord painted over a f'king roach," she tweeted.

To date, the tweet of the roach entombed forever in white paint racked up over 39K retweets and 356K likes.

And with that, a prime opportunity for meme-ing was born.

Was it a kickline member gone rogue?






References to Star Wars were made, particularly with the mention of Han Solo frozen in carbonite at the end of Empire Strikes Back.



With the extended leg appearing like a self-defense move, perhaps our crunchy friend was a formerly trained martial artist.







One user thought it might be long-lost hieroglyphic.



Others saw the immobile cucaracha as no laughing matter.



Given its likely immortal tendencies, perhaps it's best to leave this fella in its final resting place.

CEO predicts society accepts robot death

In 2009, Waymo introduced its first fleet of driverless cars, sleek pods equipped with sensors, AI, and a “Sense, Solve, Go” system designed to navigate roads autonomously without human input. According to the company, its robotaxis now experience 91 percent fewer crashes and 91 percent fewer serious injuries than human drivers over the same distances.

But even as Waymo brags about its spotless stats, co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana is already bracing for the inevitable: the first fatality caused by one of its cars, and she thinks society will accept it.

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.

Democratic Senate Candidate Blasts Trump Administration With Reality Check Over Their Withholding Of SNAP Funding

If you ask pretty much any conservative, they will tell you that the government shutdown and all its blowback is entirely the Democrats' fault.

This includes the cancellation of SNAP benefits, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program previously known as "food stamps," beginning in November, which will cut off access to food to millions of people.

On the way, Trump stopped in Malaysia and Japan—where his behavior drew widespread concern and mockery—before landing in Busan to meet with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and pick up some new golden swag for his collection.
