I really hope these things live in a different hemisphere than I do

Hundrends of documented parasites who can literally eat us from the inside, but no ...spiders are the fucking problem.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

I think spiders are cool. I also have a completely irrational fear of them. I don't understand it, I don't have any clue where it came from, but spiders cause me to feel fear in a way unlike anything else in this world. I took it completely in stride when a doctor told me I "might not be ok" while looking at my xrays after a car accident in if I see a spider crawling across the bathroom floor while I'm pooping I'll break out in cold sweats. I like to think that I'm a pretty rational person so this drives me crazy.

And here's more pixels of the joke, if that's your thing

Don't worry, they're only 5-9 mm big and are generally chill

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 hours ago

That's about 5-9 mm too much.

When you encounter things like this, God has abandoned you.

Fire hasn't, though. Fire has no fickle loyalties. All can burn.

Praise Prometheus!

At least one person will come away from reading this post with a new sexual fetish.

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

No fetish, but I wanna pat it.

Do you think it likes chin scratches? Does it have a chin? Can I stack them for convenience?

[-] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 hours ago

A 2 second Google search of "so spiders have chins?" has revealed that sadly they do not

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Unfortunately, we’re the only ones with true chins, but I still scratch my cat’s undermouth area and call it a chin.

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 16 points 8 hours ago

Reach Around Spider was rejected as a possible name.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I'm so glad I'm not a tiny bug.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 3 points 6 hours ago

Nature’s Rizla.

[-] Plagiatus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Are we gonna talk about the "tree limbs"?

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 1 points 41 minutes ago

What about it? Except the surprise sentient bark of course.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

Unacceptable.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago

This spider has found one trick that makes humans very angry

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 7 hours ago

Clickbait spider! Enragement tracking functions, activate!

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

BRB, burning down every tree within 50 miles.

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

This shit needs to stay in movies

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Imagine you're climbing a tree and you get to the top and grab this mfer

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 7 hours ago

Hopefully at that point it continues its charade as a stick! :-P

[-] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 5 points 9 hours ago

This shit is the consequence of sin yo.

[-] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Amazing powers of camouflage and body manipulation are the consequences of sin? I best get sinning like a mother fucker then!

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Satan has worked his magic during creation when god had his back turned, and now we suffer from it
