      I’m very happy whenever a spiderbro decides to set up on my balcony. They munch on mosquitos, I get to keep my blood on the inside. Everyone wins! Except the mosquitos. Screw them.

        Breaking news: It appears that mosquitos have dreams … dreams about conquering spiders and humans alike.

        I’ve been terrified of spiders since I was a toddler. Still, whenever I say hi to Pete who set up his web in the corner just above my one and only house plant, I think about the nasty stuff he gobbles up so that I don’t have to deal with them. Thanks, Pete. Stay away, but thanks. You’ll be kept warm in the winter. :::: )

      Jokes on you, pal, the spider dreams of nature. You, on the other hand, dream about the commute to work or that party that went poorly 4 years ago.

    So imprinted are the memories of The Flammenwerfer Times, their descendants still have nightmares about it.

    all animals are obviously way more intelligent than science gives them credit for. humans were just so callous and careless for centuries that we didn’t bother to pay them any respect. like obviously crabs feel pain when you boil them, why the fuck wouldn’t they? that’s a pretty basic evolutionary mechanism
