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.

Are we gonna talk about the "tree limbs"?

[–] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 27 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 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.

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

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 7 points 3 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?

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

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

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