Most disgusting things you have found in a console/accessories ?

Man what a deal!

Anywhoo! Other than dust bunnies I haven't found anything odd inside anything. :/

 

This thread needs more pictures.

Last week a guy asked me to repair a top loader. Someone spilled a beer on it and the power switch was shot.

I took the console appart and found these little guys inside.

 

The first time i saw bugs inside a console.

 

Hahaha, awesome.
When you get disc reading errors, check for bugs xD

 

I remember buying a PS1 arcade stick a year or so ago (I even made a thread about it on here) but when I cracked it open there were a LOT of dead baby spiders in there. Oh god the horror...

 

Eww... Spiders... Don't hear about them all that often. Its just gnats, roaches, or possibly flies...

 

Well there is that guy who imported a bunch of junked x68000 computers from japan to open it and find it infested with spider eggs.

 

I remember seeing that video from lukemorse1 a year or so ago. It was weird. And he lives in Japan BTW.

 

Ah! Good to know he was not releasing non-indigenous arthropods in the ecosystem after all!

 

Yeah... That would just be hell. I hate bugs with a passion and this might destroy my interest in technology possibly...

 

That's the job of us Australians! We've already introduced red back spiders, next up, the funnelweb spider!

 

And so a new generation of spiders will take over the foreign countries...

 

Redbacks look so cool! Why would we not want to share them with the rest of the world! Look at this bad-ass!

 

That just makes me sick to my stomach. I'm getting a headache right now just by looking at it and my throat is getting really tight. I'll relax myself by playing Mario Kart 8 because of this thanks.

 

I really like spiders, during the summer I enjoy feeding them earthworms in their webs.
It is basically a prey that never falls in their webs and it is interesting to watch how they deal with it.

They will often try something and have it fail then they will try something else, makes you wonder at the capacity of improvisation of spiders.

For instance I had a spider try to wrap the worm in webbing several times, failing each times as the worm was wiggling too much and would not hold in a bundle. In the end it ate it whole!! I could not believe that the spider ate a whole worm just as big as it is!

Another time the spider fought the worm and I could clearly see it bite on it. Whatever venom or digestive fluid it injected caused the worm to slow down and die as the spider literally sucked its inside, leaving only the outer skin.

 

Cool story bro. I'm still disgusted by that though...

 

I am amused by your squeamishness

 

Holy crap MaxWar, I'd fume that. Sometimes there can be live eggs in dead insects.

 

They looked long dead and dry, I still chucked everything in the dish washer though. ( After flushing the bugs in the toilet )

 

Weird...
