    Holy shit. What a throw back. That was one of my mates at university who did that, the exact post. It must be about 15 years old.

    Edit: I’ve just checked, and it was 13 years ago to the day. 12th June 2012 this was posted, and then an update on 13th.

    Update here: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/06add345-006e-4679-9ca0-ed83bb1c11a9.jpeg

        I think after that he got a bunch of ants because of the jam, so resulted to slug pellets. Don’t remember exactly, as it was 13 years ago to the day.

          I once got rid of ants by leaving a small pile of sugar out for them.

          I like to think the ants that found it took it back to the nest and said “hey guys look what we found!” then got “don’t be so stupid! humans never do that! It’s obviously a trap, don’t ever go back there”

        I expect the maze to be massive, spanning the entire house by now. Anything else and I would be incredibly disappointed.

      Did the slugs just use the sides of the door frame to skip over the edges of the maze?

      Did he awaken to a scattered graveyard of slugs or did one actually make it?
