Cockroach wins battle with hydraulic press

I thought Wall-E already demonstrated a cockroach’s resilience to compressive trauma.

Actually, through studying the appropriate deformations to the cockroach character model Pixar animators might have already unwittingly answered WHY they are so resilient.

Man, do not go outside and look around the storm drains at night. Huge fuckers are always around there.

the video makes it sound like roaches are difficult to kill, but that only seems to be true if you’re afraid to get your hands dirty. once you get over that it’s fairly simple to just smash them with your bare hands the moment you lay eyes on them (somewhat cathartic too)

I eagerly await a response from the hydraulic press you tube channel where any safety mechanisms for the benefit of the cockroach (or the cinematographer) will be removed.
