There is no reason for a spider to go into a fly trap, this was done intentionally.

Honestly, why are y'all so terrified of spiders? they're a better pest control than a raft of Venus fly traps, plus they're loving gorgeous....

Seriously, all you single guys could be so lucky.

:wrong: Flytraps are arachnid eating machines and will stop at nothing until Australia is freed from captivity.

They were really cool to watch do their thing. Hunstman spiders can still gently caress off though, it's the way they move

Huntsman are just the chill'est. Had one that would climb up and down the wall right next to my bed when I was a kid. If a fly ever got into that room it was never long for this world.

Geckos also work for flies and mozzies are also pretty cool. Did have one drop on my face from the ceiling in the middle of the night when I was asleep once though, which was confusing as hell.

I worked at Fred Meyer back in '97 and we had to unbox a bunch of stuff and, boom, there's a Black Widow. It was between two boxes so the solution was simple and direct.



I knew they were related, but do Black Widow spiders have those red dots on them? Like a Redback Spider.

Yeah sorry, I knew that when I posted it. Not surprised it didn't take long for someone to call me out. This, unfortunately, is very real.



I live in N. Ireland and more people died in road accidents than were killed by the troubles. "Sure I'll drive, I've only had six pints" is an honest to god thing I have overheard while working in a bar. That guy deserves a little bit of credit because there are some people out there who wouldn't even consider how much they had to drink, even if they can barely stand. They typically tend to be old men, who can't accept the fact that the roads are far busier these days.

The most mindblowing "oh, people will literally oppose any new law huh" video I ever saw was the archival footage of people outraged that drunk driving laws were being created at all

yeah the landlord bit is fake, it looks like either new construction or heavily renovated, really just looking at the half width deck. it's half of the size of the sliding door, and i'd be shocked if it was properly joined with the house frame.

Perpetuating the stereotype since 1978.

I built a giant deck for my wife to sun herself during the summer months; I think it was maybe a couple grand in materials. The visiting nurse that comes over weekly to care for her asked me who built it for me. I said I did. He said “that’s great you can do that; I paid a guy almost 50,000 to build mine.” Holy poo poo, that’s either one hell of a deck or he got ripped off big time.

heavy duty decks like at seaworld cost a drat fortune, you saved a lot of money being able to build to that caliber yourself, good job.
