I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF SILVERFISH
>>
I love them. I always scoop them out of bathtub (spiders too) to free them. They don't carry disease. They don't do anything bad, in fact they eat the shit you drop on the floor, being a biological vacuum cleaners. And spiders eat them. And spiders are cool, too.
They are my favorite houshold buggy.

these mfs are everywhere in my doorm room

I see firebrats a lot at work, silverfish are pretty rare though. If I was a spider I bet these things would be like tendies.

They eat the glue that binds books together and cause a lot of damage that way

Well I only see them in bathroom, so I guess it's why I'm not bothered.

I have had tons of them in my room, but my books were never affected.

I'm guessing you work in a bakery or something? I've tried breeding these as feeder insects and they're surprisingly difficult to consistently breed but are weirdly hard to kill in places that are hot and filled with things they eat.

It took multiple doses of roach poison over a year plus to get rid of the long haired fuckers, now I try to leave shipping boxes outside when I get mail so I don't introduce them again

Really primitive apterygote. They love up to a few years too. They might be a nuisance but they do have an interesting background as a species. And yes, they damage books

Not a bakery, there's a steam plant that heats all the buildings with pipes and tunnels though

Whenever I have a hard time comprehending that genetics show insects evolved from crustaceans, I look at these and Bristle tails.
The problem is, how did we go from basically a shrimp but on land to crazy shit like like maggots transforming into flies?

Even incredibly ancient insects like Dragon Flies don't resemble crustaceans at all.
