ok for real for a long time i just assumed that catching spiders in a glass n then throwing em outside was The Done Thing around the world but over the years ive come across way too many people who just squish em n clear em up with a tissue or whatever??? and like, i'm someone who has p ridiculous arachnophobia, but even so i would never ever kill a spider if there was like, the slightest chance i could catch it in something n safely fling it out the back door or out a window or something? like hell, earlier this year i just let a big-ass false widow hang out in my room for like a month 'cos it was in an awkward place in my bedroom and didn't seem to be moving around much so i just, like, co-existed with it literally 2 feet away from my bed for multiple weeks until one day one of my kittens jumped up on the windowsill where it was n started sticking its nose into its web n drew it out into the open, at which point i was like "welp" n snatched it up in a pringles tube, carried it downstairs n yeeted it out the back garden (also just as a side note, you know it's bad when you throw a spider out and you can hear the "thud" when it hits the ground). n then i pointed it out to my mum n she was like "um yeeeeah i think that's a false widow tbh" n i was like. oh. lol
i should point out that i live right on the edge of a small town surrounded by mad amounts of countryside n woodland n shit, n as such am p much like. the first line of defence against the creepin spider horde, and have woken up multiple times to find that classic two-tiny-pinhole-cuts-less-than-a-centimeter-apart on my legs n arms that are like, the classic giveaway that a big fuckin spider has been wandering about on me during the night n decided to take a bite. my dad has arachnophobia too, n i guess that's where Tiny Baby Me got it from, but whereas he instantly gets the chills n the shakes when he sees one, i'm weirdly cool calm n collected when dealing with 'em - even when ive caught one in a glass n can see the fucker in all its horrifying intelligent alien predator glory - right up until i toss it outside n close the door, whereupon i'm INSTANTLY hit by bloodfreeze n the chills n the shakes n the BrRrRrRrRs of every kind? like my brain decided to hold back the terror until the problem was dealt with, or something weird.
also they're definitely aliens. i mean what the fuck. they're smart??? they make webs?????? to catch prey???????? and then save the prey for later??????????? there was that news article a little while back that implied that they store memories in said webs??????????????? they seem to know when you're looking at them when they're darting across the floor / wall / ceiling and respond by suddenly standing still???????????????????????? like??????????????????????????????????????
anyway i forgot where i was going with this. here's some funny tweets that could maybe count as funny pictures since they look like pictures in this format
