They went down to the planet and enslaved the ants that live there.

Now, a study of orb spiders (Trichonephila clavipes) in space has revealed that these smart arachnids can orientate themselves with light when there is no gravity to tell them which way is 'up'.

So you're telling me they are already adapted to space, a place where they wouldn't be size-constrained by gravity...

That was a very cool read, thanks!

Spiders are usually Bros, but sometimes they're assholes.

Had one in the bathroom, whilst I was showering. What did he do with all the hot steamy air? Why, crawl towards it of course. Never mind the frequent misteps that threatened to drop him on the floor because, oh I dont know, the ceiling is wet - no - crawling precariously to the danger is the most reasonable response...

Later that day, I'm just chilling on the toilet with my phone, and he wants to drop by to say hello. How does he do it? Hang down slowly and land in front of me? Lower himself onto the toilet cistern so as not to disturb me?

Hell no! Fucker decides to lower himself next to my ear and tickle it, so that I immediately respond with a hand slap that sends him into pieces.

I miss him in a weird way, but he was a real asshole.

I'm from Australia.

Some spiders are absolutely bros.

Others seem to exist only to fuck you up.

Once you know the difference you're fine, but I don't blanket assume that every spider I find is a friend.

Spiders are always welcome in my garden. They come with free pest control.

Four spiders, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 5. Large enough to be legible of course.

ive never played dead space past the tutorial but im guessing thats how dead space happened

Maybe, but I have to admit that I've never seen a spider hitchhiking on the side of a road.

Wouldn’t a giant slider be just a burger?

Gotta use that Anti-bio Beam

You have lost [crewmember]

I’m certain the dolphins and mice do, we’re just not quite there yet.

I am a normal human typing with my human hands

I think they might have satellite internet

They do indeed have communications with earth.
