My neighbors are also in that particular

[Howhungry]

people say it's a museum when you store hundreds of dead bodies in water but when I store just 2 in my basement people call me a "serial killer". SMH my head, people these days

[eevee]

Imagine one of them just popped out and does the Default dance.💀💀💀💀

[theresistance]

"live in the basement" bro idk how to break this to you

[NateSmith]

Would love to see someone drink that fermented pickle juice

[jeffreyhoadley]

So the field is a gunpowder plot esque explosion of formaldehyde and alcohol waiting to happen?? I bet that part of the building stinks up the next few floors . Lol

[IntegraDIY]

Give me a bbq grill and I’ll cook up some bomb ass grilled fish & alien looking Eel

You have to stop saying things like “they live in the basement” when everything in there is dead.
