Y’all know that spiders can climb right?
And that spiders often make webs that look like this? Famously, funnel spiders?

Last time this was posted, the some answers said it's actually likely a nest (funnel web spider or something?) and the "dead spider" shed skin.
So the metaphor for capitalism is... The Rich carry on eating the produce of the Poor, while the socialists look on and think the system is dying? Haha! Checkmate Poors!
This pic makes me sad. Lil bro tried so hard and got so far...
But in the end, it didn't even matter.
He had to fall to lose it all. :(
Goddamnit. I was sad and still laughed.

I have an idea for a new type of horrible animal byproduct farm
Pretty sure what we already do to collect spider silk on an industrial scale is worse than this.
Do we collect spider silk on an industrial scale?
I remember seeing something about genetically modifying goats such that they would produce the proteins in spider silk in their milk, so the milk could be processed and then silk could be mechanically spun. This is a half-remembered TV documentary from years and years ago, so.
ok, hear he out, we make the cup so it's tall enough for them to make silk to escape, but short enough so it's only a mild inconvenience for them. less labour than current system and easier in the spiders.
problem is we don't get a long single thread but just bundles of nets which can be spun into threads.
What do we do?
Apparently it's knocked out with carbon dioxide?
Still pretty creepy, and not because of the spider.
That was truly disturbing to see. I'm not sure why but I did not like that at all.
I hate spiders and even I feel bad abt this shit. It’s just a cruel scenario
Little guy would of made it if he had just shot his web straight up and attached himself to the sun.
Spiderman: The Game (2002)
Pizza song starts playing
Is he stupid?
I feel bad for the spider, but I have admit the web in the glass is really cool looking, like a piece of art. I’d probably preserve that if I could (minus the spider corpse)
The spider corpse is an important piece of the art! It adds a memento mori aspect to what is otherwise just a cool place a web was spun.
It's also the author of it, so it would definitely belong
More art galleries need to stuff and display the artists corpse alongside their work.
The spider gives context and removing it would diminish everything
My stepdad worked hard all his life. He managed to buy his own plane and fly it all around. To some flying up in a plane might seem somewhat insignificant, but most people never get to fly at all.
We've only got so much time to get a plane.

TBH spider wasted fuckton of silk on unnecessary web. It died because it wasn't smart enough
look at you, feeling superior because you think you can outsmart a spider.
next time you fall into a well i expect you to shit silk in an efficient way to escape
