No spiders in space yet!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Don't worry not a spider in "space" just a green screen glitch.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean, just a short time ago, there were no humans in space. Maybe the spiders have their own space travel now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

I’m certain the dolphins and mice do, we’re just not quite there yet.

"There's literally everything in space, Morty!"

In space no one knows when you actually are a spider.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

No spiders yet.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That is until you learn that space spiders are invisible

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

i would think of a fly or gnat, or cockroach way before spider. and if i thought "spider!" i would be cool because spiders are chill.

I think I know a really funny prank we can pull with the next supplies shipment to the space station lol.

Four spiders, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 5. Large enough to be legible of course.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Edible you say?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

No, Georg, stop it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not entirely sure I'm comfortable with having spiders large enough to write on. I know they exist but now that I've thought about it I don't like it.

Well you see, that's the hilarious part. You won't have those spiders anymore, the astronaut will. Floating in his tin can. Far above the moon. Planet earth is blue and there's nothing he can do. 🎸🎸🎸👏👏

.... Remind me to hit you up for ideas when someone has wronged me in life lol

ive never played dead space past the tutorial but im guessing thats how dead space happened

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I beat that game years ago and I honestly don't remember the story at all. I am now choosing to believe it was a prank that went super super wrong haha.

Couldn’t a spider hitch a ride on something brought into the rocket?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Maybe, but I have to admit that I've never seen a spider hitchhiking on the side of a road.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Really shows in what kind of society we live when a lone spider doesn't feel save to hitchhike with strangers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

But there is a chance for one to stoveaway on a rocket load.

I must be weird cause spiders are bros. I always help em out and move em elsewhere whilst telling em to keep on killing the enemy bugs.

Spiders are awesome especially the jumping varietals.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm from Australia.

Some spiders are absolutely bros.

Others seem to exist only to fuck you up.

Once you know the difference you're fine, but I don't blanket assume that every spider I find is a friend.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Your continent is the perpetual exception to the rule. Least in north America there aren’t a ton of spiders that pose a huge threat past this 8 legged trauma people have. Most of our spiders are lil jumpy boys. And web ones but they are pretty obvious. The ones I’m not overly keen on are the daddy long legs. Legs for days but they just seem like sea spiders on land.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago

Spiders are usually Bros, but sometimes they're assholes.

Had one in the bathroom, whilst I was showering. What did he do with all the hot steamy air? Why, crawl towards it of course. Never mind the frequent misteps that threatened to drop him on the floor because, oh I dont know, the ceiling is wet - no - crawling precariously to the danger is the most reasonable response...

Later that day, I'm just chilling on the toilet with my phone, and he wants to drop by to say hello. How does he do it? Hang down slowly and land in front of me? Lower himself onto the toilet cistern so as not to disturb me?

Hell no! Fucker decides to lower himself next to my ear and tickle it, so that I immediately respond with a hand slap that sends him into pieces.

I miss him in a weird way, but he was a real asshole.

Spiders are always welcome in my garden. They come with free pest control.
