Are we gonna talk about the "tree limbs"?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 hours ago

That's about 5-9 mm too much.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 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.

This spider has found one trick that makes humans very angry

Clickbait spider! Enragement tracking functions, activate!

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

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

Praise Prometheus!

This shit is the consequence of sin yo.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 hours ago

Unacceptable.
