Here's a silk dispenser too. Do whatever you want with it... catch prey, fly around in the air currents whatever the fuck. Just don't tell the boss i hooked you up

You could even use it as a scuba tank if you want

8 eyes but still with really shitty vision. Spiders got scammed.

Not all. Jumping spiders and wolf spiders took all the good eyes and ran away with them.

I once spent nearly my entire lunch break on a construction site watching a tiny jumping spider hunt. That was awesome.

Spiders are just failed crabs. Or possibly in-process crabs.

Conversely, crabs are the spiders of the sea. Which is why I have a hard time eating them even though they're delicious.

Because you love spiders so much?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Yes but fortunately crabs don't make nets

Um... do they have 8 of anything, ah, else?

If you say "Here's your large number of things", I can forgive the error, but if you spell out "Here is your large number of things" instead of "Here are..." I shake my head.
