You’d need a mic, but now I want to hear this. And 8 tiny flip flops. And some super glue. I’m thinking of how dogs behave when their owners put those protective ‘dog shoes’ on them. Tho’ I love dogs and spiders. So could some one throw this into an ai prompt?

Researchers gave some ants stilts, so hey why not spider flip flops?

FOR SCIENCE!!!!

Edit to add: you could totally put flip flops on these cute paws!!!

Since spiders don't have heels, they probably wouldn't make any sort of "flip-flop" sound, just rapid pitter-pattering.

Imagine evolving awesome feet that let you stand upside down or climb nearly anything then some fucking human comes along and glues their inferior footwear over that, places a mic to listen as you try to get them off your feet in a panic, says "hmmm, well that's what it sounds like", posts it on the internet, then later on says, "ok yeah that is pretty annoying" as you're starting to accept your new inferior life and squishes you.

Or even worse, puts you outside so that the bugs that once feared you laugh at you before a bird cautiously pecks and you to see if the things on your feet are traps then swallows you before choking on the tiny flip flops.
