In the spider's defense, those are some bad roaches.

I've had a giant spider in my bathroom for months. Eventually, her little boyfriend moved in. They caught so many flies (I live in a barn). Sometimes, I'd walk in, and she'd have one in her mouth like a dog. I accidentally killed them diatomaceous earth recently because I was getting rid of ants. 🥲

Its the charlottes web universe, with the old yeller ending.

Hi, slightly off topic, but could you clear something up for me? Do you get to just leave the door open all the time? My parents seemed to be under the impression that's the only living arrangement where one could do that.

It just depends. When it was 100°+ for sure. But I also have a second story that's contained from the rest of the barn, so I don't have to worry about bugs or rodents TOO much. If I didn't have that separate space, I'd probably invest in an AC. The lower floor is also a cement tablet that chills overnight. Sometimes, I'll keep the doors closed until the slab warms up. It all just depends. At night, even if it's hot, I lock up. We leave the windows open on the second story with fans at that point.

  • unless you live in Australia. We had to censor Peppa Pig for spreading this pro-spider propaganda. That said, there hasn't been spider or snake deaths in years, due to antivenom. Will still hurt like hell though.

Fascinating!

For real for real, had a horrible ant infestation, had to leave for a week, came back to a bathroom full of spiders and sucked out mummified ants. I mean they should have used some protection at their orgies but ok I guess a fuckfest after a gluttonous feeding was justified.

spider rave noises

Yeah but by season 2 they're best friends.

I'd love to have a talking, horse-sized spider as a friend. 🙁

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I think you're underestimating how horrifying that would be, and how you're nothing but a snack to such a creature.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I just have to stay away from their nets and everything will be fine. Also, it would probably suffocate before it could kill me

She must give the best hugs, 8 legs holding you tight, those mandibles wrapping around your head as she nuzzles you

I think being an evil deity with a penchant for singing discordant melodies is a prerequisite for giant spider-friends.

With proportional spider strength? Jesus Christmas. You'd be unstoppable

It using the noisy pee funnel to fall asleep would even be endearing to me.

It's a reference from "Spaceman" with Adam Sandler. The spider-like creature in it shows an interest in the suction system for the bathroom in the space ship.

Here's the trailer: https://youtu.be/rNZ0xKaCdus

The pee funnel is literally a funnel attached to a suction hose that you pee into to keep the urine from floating away and into the atmosphere of the spacecraft.

Zoidberg has a friend!

Listen Gigantor, you can stay but respect my boundaries or I will straight up crack open this 55 gallon drum of Raid.

I bet he just won't shut up about Dogar and Kazon, too.

[–] BobbyGasoline@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

When you read this comic, does the spider have a masculine voice or a feminine voice? I feel like it changes the context a little.
