this makes so much sense because I've seen lil spiders drifting around the air in my basement before, and there's little to no wind currents down there at all

the tweet misquotes the article though, it's not magnetic fields it's electric fields.

Oh you're right, spiders are exploiting the difference in charge between the atmosphere and the earth, flying for the same reason your hair stands on end when you hold on to a van de Graaff generator. Still incredibly badass.

quote:

When their silk leaves their bodies, it typically picks up a negative charge. This repels the similar negative charges on the surfaces on which the spiders sit, creating enough force to lift them into the air. And spiders can increase those forces by climbing onto twigs, leaves, or blades of grass. Plants, being earthed, have the same negative charge as the ground that they grow upon, but they protrude into the positively charged air.

Aren't electric charge and magnetic charge the same thing?

they are, but the earth's magnetic field is not related directly to the static charge difference between the atmosphere and the planet. 🤓

This is a very long video that uses experimental music to stimulate the descent into dementia. The music represents memories, and how they become utterly, irreparably tangled and confused as the mind loses it's grasp on reality. Maybe it's just me, but I find that idea terrifying. If you want the full effect, start from the beginning. Stage 4, a little over 2 hours in, is where it really gets hosed up.
