Normalize understanding that men and women aren’t very different in this regard. I once asked a girl what was going on in her head and she was thinking about stinkbugs, and if you could handle them carefully enough to not get stanked.
Take a paper towel, grip both ends, gently place paper towel over the stinkbug and close both ends keeping the length taut (not putting any pressure or touching where the stinkbug is, just letting the U-shaped fold in the center where you are not touching enclose the stinkbug). Gently twist to seal exits while not squeezing the stinkbug.
You are now holding a paper towel with a non-activated stinkbug. Do what you will with that stinkbug.
I don’t understand how the paper towel completely encompasses the bug when bug’s little feet is on a solid surface. How does the paper towel get under his feet?
And where did your “u-shaped fold” come from if we are holding the paper towel taut from both ends?
Put a paper towel flat on a table (long side left to right, if you have a half size towel). Take your pointer finger and thumb on each hand, and touch the left thumb to the bottom left corner of the towel, left pointer to the top left, and mirror on the right hand. Keeping the left-right length of towel taut, slowly pinch both hands. From the side view, the towel’s center will rise on the left-right axis (the U-shape). Finish pinching to complete the motion.
The bug’s center of gravity is above the feet, so it turns out that as long as you keep the paper towel taut, the body is lifted and it quickly attaches its feet to the towel.
I believe they mean using the paper towel as tweezers. You fold it in half and use the 2 touching brims to pick up the bug, while only putting force by pulling the corners away from each other.

For anyone wondering:

Hey psst-… I heard that Townlately was into you
You are out here providing solutions, and I appreciate it.
So you mean you now have a stink grenade or trap.

At what point in this process does the bug get on the paper towel?
You are imagining the towel coming from underneath. They are describing the towel coming from above.
Imagine the stink bug is on the ceiling and reread the instructions.
When you pinch the ends. You’re effectively bending the two-dimensional space of the paper towel into three dimensional space encompassing the bug.
I fucking give up trying to get you to make any sense.

Sounds like… You gave up on you? It’s really not important information, but I tried.
I’ve found killing them with fire is both effective and retributionally entertaining.
But that was the '80s, when kids running around with the spray varathane and a zippo was kinda okay.
I kinda hate stinkbugs.
Did… did you marry her?
It’s sad that I read this and the first thought was not about how similar we can be but more, “well…I suppose if you were gentle…”
