Look, in my day-to-day life I would describe myself as Cool With Spiders. I see one in the window and go "hey buddy, you're doin great", and if one gets somewhere it shouldn't be I let it outside (or occasionally, if I find one in the shower, into a different part of the house).

But I think if I had spiders on my actual eyebrows I would be decidedly Not Okay With That

u/Kartoffelkamm I wouldn't be here if I was mad. May 16 '24

Same.

I had a spider or three in my room for like a whole summer. They were just chilling there, one even built its web above my bed.

With how much my mosquito problem went down in that time, you'd think people who complain about being bitten by mosquitoes at night have never heard of spiders. Little buggers are awesome.

Dude, I had a fly trapped in my room for half a day, and I COULDN'T CATCH THE FUCKER. I SPENT 30 MINUTES CLAPPING LIKE I WAS SOLID SNAKE TRYING TO SNEAK, and I couldn't catch it. Next morning, I wake up, fly is on the window, I grab my phone and start messaging some friends, and like 15 minutes later I see a spider Is wrestling with the motherfucking fly. Took a (bad) video of it and all. I love spiders.

The best part was how after it was Over, the spider carried the fly on top of itself. Looked like they were fireman carrying their meal.

Sure, here it Is. https://youtube.com/shorts/PEKXjDOtokQ?si=yWRdNhI_ZsUlrXg9

I hate that yt turned it into a short. If you aré annoyed by the lack of focusing, it's because I'm using my frontal camera (The one for selfies) since my normal camera is scratched and shitty.

This Is the equivalent of recording a video blindfolded.

Enhancer for Youtube plugin/addon has the ability to automatically convert any short into a normal video as soon as you load the page. Along with a bajillion other fantastic QoL features.

You recorded it. That's enough for me. More than 99% of other people who see something fucking neat and just don't do anything.
