I've been living in a happy healthy spider-free household my entire life and I assure you I am not constantly being invaded by thick clouds of mosquitoes or horseflies

and even the time I lived in a horrible apartment building and got cockroaches, oddly enough, the super's response was "ok let me set you some poison traps" rather than "here's your new roommate, twenty huntsman spiders" because we live in a golden age of wonder where pesticides exist

Agreed with the "gently caress spiders" take. I don't care if they're vaguely useful, God/natural selection is a dick for making them at the same time serial-killer-clown levels of sinister.

This spider derail is stupid, and you are an enormous pussy if you are afraid of them (assuming you live in the continental USA... or Boston).


First off, I don't get the joke.

Second, that doesn't look anything like a real ski lift.

The guy on the right is Merrick Garland, who's going back down having never even gotten a chance to do what he went up to do.

ah, ok, that helps. I didn't recognize him at all.

Still, terrible metaphor, as Obama is ALSO riding the lift down. It doesn't matter if you have your skis on or not, if you are riding down then you didn't ski.
I guess I was a little confused because in real life they don't let you wear skis or a board to ride down (in fact, usually only lift operators ride them down).

Now you don't have to suck meat from an exoskeleton!
Spiders are good and they are my friends. I once saw one jump on a thin mosquito-like creature and was like hell yeah, a fellow traveler in insect killing. I nestled it gently in my hands and put it under my bed just on the off-chance my sweet insect-eating buddy could grab one of these loving rear end in a top hat bedbugs I had at the time. I don't know if it actually worked but I have not seen bedbugs in months. Coincidence??? No. Spiders are perfect home companions.

I released a box of spiders in my house to get rid of the flys. Then I had to release a whole bunch of rats to get rid of the spiders.

Long story short, my house is now full of feral wolves (had to get rid of the snake eating wildcats somehow) and I'm afraid to enter it. Should have stuck with the flys.

I sleep with spiders in my mouth on a bed made of political cartoons, which until just now I thought was commonplace itt. Looks like you folks have some adjustments to make.

Googled "What eats wolves?" for a solution but apparently they're the apex predator in whichever environment they inhabit. Bears might at least scare them off, though.

you can kill that kind of bug with your hand pretty easily by hitting it, that isn't hard either. You don't need to infest your home with the other one or be eternally bitten. This isn't an either-or scenario. :geno:

What if the spider is a welcomed guest? Is it still an infestation?

oh god these fuckers, it's like, hey let's take a spider, give it five times as many legs, and make it super fast so you can't kill it, thanks a lot earth

They at least don't make webs, so that's one less element from Every Nightmare I've Had Since Age 3 they've got going for them than spiders do, but still I can't even enjoy shoveling lasagna into my mouth with both hands or eating someone else's steak dinner in one bite when I think about them

Unlike most North American spiders, the house centipede can give a painful sting.
