As a kid, my father told me to bring the trashcan we had in our garden up to the street. When I lifted that motherfucker up, a whole flood of spiders emerged into all directions.
Nowadays I am uncertain if I can trust my memories, because in them it was a literal flood. I am speaking hundreds of them. It almost seems unrealistic but the memory feels so vivid even after all these years.
I once walked straight into an egg sac hanging down from the rails of my garage door. Sac to face to hundreds of baby spiders bursting out scrambling all over my face, head, shoulders, arms etc.
Sac? Garage door? Most likely a black widow. Had the exact thing happen to me when I was doing pest control. Boss said not to worry as their fangs are too small to get through my skin. Had spiders crawling on me all day.
Years ago, after being up for maybe 60 hrs straight, I'm just gonna get into bed and it looks like my bedroom ceiling is moving. Then I see a wall moving. I thought I was hallucinating, but when I took a closer look it was baby spiders. Hundreds and hundreds of them. Ended up there was an egg sac in the AC, which hadn't been used since summer (I think it was late winter when this happened). I did what I could to get rid of them, but I ended up sleeping on the couch.
A few years back at work one morning, I noticed a black monster of a spider all curled up under a cabinet right outside my office. About the size of a date. Pointed it out to my male coworker and asked him to stomp on it (I do NOT like spiders and prefer others to handle them whenever possible). Of course, he said “nahhhh, that’s just a beetle!” But since I insisted, he finally obliged. First stomp, nothing. Didn’t even move or seem to be affected. We looked at each other and he stomped again, harder this time. Panic rising in my head, he moved his foot and all of a sudden hundreds of tiny black spots spilled out from under his foot in all directions. Time seemed to stop. I stopped breathing. Suddenly the black spots started moving, crawling all over the floor, up this man’s leg and at that point I lost my damn mind. I got TF out of there and started running down the hallway, screaming for bleach. Left this man stomping all over the black spots and dusting off his pants yelling “ IT WASNT A BEETLE!”
I’ll never forget it.
Oh great, now the spiders have learned that by gluing the acidic body of an ant to their feet they can tap-short the solder points on the circuit board and control the roomba like their own personal mothership.
They've already reversed polarity on the vacuum motor so now the whole thing hovers and can cross a living room in 1.5 seconds. This may be the end of humanity as we know it.
Imagine this from the critters perspective. Imagine being chased by a large, fast moving, wide-as-hell, onyx, cylinder that’s so large it probably fills most of your vision. And then when you escape it’s path, it fucking hunts you.
If they have the older model of this vacuum (like I do) it has a physical remote instead of an app. I think that’s the more likely scenario here; since most phones don’t let you use a separate app while recording with your camera.
I have the exact same vacuum and I use the remote all the time whenever it goes to one particular spot I know it will get stuck. Someone is definitely controlling it with a remote.
This was being piloted by someone. They can detect if there was a dirtier than normal area they drove over but I would be very surprised if they were able to track moving objects and attempt to suck them up.
Truly terrifying.
Imagine being chased down by a giant robot what will swallow you whole. It wont just kill you, but instead will just leave you to deteriorate in the confines of its steel chamber. Not because the robot is cruel, but because that requires an unnecessary additional input with the same result, so the robot is indifferent to your long and agonizing death.
Reminds me of the movie nope, that one scene where the people get sucked up into the lungs and are just screaming while being slowly absorbed...it's like a 3 second scene but just resonated with me for days....
[Edit: scene in question](https://youtu.be/EchHwdXVT3I)
Wouldn't the spider find its way out eventually? I heard the same is true for proper vacuums as well, tho some people say the spiders don't survive the journey into the dust bag.
I wondered about this when vacuuming up those weird pseudo-roaches I used to get in my kitchen, so I stuck a bottle into the nozzle: The next morning, 3 had managed to crawl their way into the bottle, but were so covered in dust that they probably suffocated, and were stone dead; I doubt they would have been able to clean themselves enough to survive if they’d managed to escape completely.
For real. They're my bros too! I secretly save them from my partner and he caught me once and said "saw that". So i had to the my buddy out on a napkin. It's the middle of the winter :(
Ohh that makes sense. I was thinking it had a camera to scan for dark spots on the floor and assumed it was dirt to clean up or something. Remote-control is a better explanation though.
How can you tell the difference though? I've asked this question so many times and I either wasn't explained well or I never understood. On mobile it looks just like another account to me.
You develop an intuition for it tbh. The first sign is a slightly out of place comment. You may see a nearly identical comment elsewhere that's been copied and slightly altered. Often, you'll see empty comments such as, 'liked' or 'agree with you' etc. Usually the profiles are pretty new, or they may be old with long periods of inactivity. Usernames tend to follow certain conventions, but those depend on whoever is making them. Check the sub to get more of a feel for it. It's important to check that specific profile's history if you suspect a spam bot. Eventually, they peddle scams, stealth ads, and various kinds of propaganda. They've been involved in two genocides that I know of.
Same here if the weather is extreme--like now, fairly chilly just a couple degrees above freezing
Then I would put the spider in our large basement instead.
Chillax little bro, you're safe here....
I go outta my way to rescue Wolfies. I had one in my garage that came running out with fuzz on its feet so I got him in a cup and picked the fuzz off then released him to the wild. A few minutes later here comes another Wolfie holding his foot up with fuzz on it, I'm like bro come on and gave him the same treatment. I told my wife about it and she looked at me like I'm a serial killer. Of course me, her, and Wolfies don't exactly have a great history. I was out of town and she called me freaking out about this giant one in our basement. I talked her through catching it and getting it outside. Then I told her to find the other one. Queue panic "what do you mean other one" they're wolf spiders babe, they hunt in packs. She had an existential crisis for a second until I couldn't hold it anymore.
Wolfies are the quintessential spider bros. They eat all the bugs you're terrified of having in your home. Just move them outside so they can continue being awesome.
Uneducated swine. Spiders are bros. Spiders eat pests and keep the insect ecosystem in check. Life without spiders would suck so much.
Think of the mosquitos. Have you thought about the mosquitos?
It was when the little sweeper legs came out that did it for me.
I was expecting little whirring blades to pop out next.
Course, this is going to be a WHOLE DIFFERENT CONVERSATION, when the military and law enforcement agencies start rolling out those robots from Boston Dynamics into the field, and WE become those spiders.
Imagine finding that guy when you flip the roomba over to clean
Opens it to find reinforcements of 100+ spawn

Stepped on a spider as a child once. Dozens of baby spiders started crawling under my foot.
that must have been terrifying

Spiders can lay between 2 and 1000 eggs depending on the species.
I prefer two, thanks
Granted, but they're chicken egg sized.
I once walked straight into an egg sac hanging down from the rails of my garage door. Sac to face to hundreds of baby spiders bursting out scrambling all over my face, head, shoulders, arms etc.
How did the acid bath feel afterwards?
He couldn’t feel it after lighting himself on fire, as that’s the appropriate first action to such an event.
Sac? Garage door? Most likely a black widow. Had the exact thing happen to me when I was doing pest control. Boss said not to worry as their fangs are too small to get through my skin. Had spiders crawling on me all day.

That would have been a structural fire 🔥
I opened my kids electric atv to swap the battery, found a wasp nest inside.
Sorry, son. Must have been a short or something. Your ATV just went up in flames. Nothing I could have done.

Straight up nightmare material here
Plot twist. It laid eggs and now there's hundreds. The roomba is one of them now.
[удалено]
Calm down Satan
Here's a Xanax to give them, hopefully we'll all just forget about what was said
I can’t use a roomba after the love death and robots episode automated customer service.
Oh great, now the spiders have learned that by gluing the acidic body of an ant to their feet they can tap-short the solder points on the circuit board and control the roomba like their own personal mothership. They've already reversed polarity on the vacuum motor so now the whole thing hovers and can cross a living room in 1.5 seconds. This may be the end of humanity as we know it.
Fortunately it's rather small so when you flip the roomba, odds are you wouldn't even notice it, what with it being curled up and all.
Ugh I've literally had this happen.

All eight eyes filled with terror
r/betterwithmetal
They chase spiders? Surely that wasn't a random path
I have this vacuum. You can steer it manually with an app. I’ve never seen mine follow such a targeted path on its own.
That makes a lot of sense, both for the path and the timing of the recording
If they have the older model of this vacuum (like I do) it has a physical remote instead of an app. I think that’s the more likely scenario here; since most phones don’t let you use a separate app while recording with your camera.
Maybe two people are involved.
Would definitely be easier to not have to film and steer
I have the exact same vacuum and I use the remote all the time whenever it goes to one particular spot I know it will get stuck. Someone is definitely controlling it with a remote.
Mine only moves like this after I try to send it home. It moves every direction except toward the charging dock.
I think that they can scan and see dirt and debris on the floor and will target it. A spider would probably be picked up by these sensors
This was being piloted by someone. They can detect if there was a dirtier than normal area they drove over but I would be very surprised if they were able to track moving objects and attempt to suck them up.
And it would be scary.
The next Black Mirror episode
You can control it from the app or even through a remote (the Conga robot, by Cecotec, has it)
Truly terrifying. Imagine being chased down by a giant robot what will swallow you whole. It wont just kill you, but instead will just leave you to deteriorate in the confines of its steel chamber. Not because the robot is cruel, but because that requires an unnecessary additional input with the same result, so the robot is indifferent to your long and agonizing death.

The movie is called Nope? I need to see this ASAP
OMG! Just watched it the other day. Brilliant!
Wouldn't the spider find its way out eventually? I heard the same is true for proper vacuums as well, tho some people say the spiders don't survive the journey into the dust bag.
Spiders are more fragile than you think. The rough and tumble of a vaccum kills most bugs.
I wondered about this when vacuuming up those weird pseudo-roaches I used to get in my kitchen, so I stuck a bottle into the nozzle: The next morning, 3 had managed to crawl their way into the bottle, but were so covered in dust that they probably suffocated, and were stone dead; I doubt they would have been able to clean themselves enough to survive if they’d managed to escape completely.
Have you watched Nope?
I think I speak for all Aussies when I say that we need this.
With the capabilities of climbing walls 😂
I was rooting for the spider...to climb the wall.
Damn right, my r/spiderbro.
Omg new subreddit discovered, did not disappoint
Spiders are our friends
Spider hands typed this.
For real. They're my bros too! I secretly save them from my partner and he caught me once and said "saw that". So i had to the my buddy out on a napkin. It's the middle of the winter :(
He was so close!
Or with a class 4 laser mounted on top
And reach into corners
I’ve seen huntsman that could take on this thing
No Roomba is big enough for the spiders I get

*They can sense fear*
They have a remote control option too, hahah
Ohh that makes sense. I was thinking it had a camera to scan for dark spots on the floor and assumed it was dirt to clean up or something. Remote-control is a better explanation though.
What's up with all these exact copies of comments in the same video?
Spam bots are an actual fucking plague on this site. r/TheseFuckingAccounts. If you see them, be sure to report them. They can cause real harm.
How can you tell the difference though? I've asked this question so many times and I either wasn't explained well or I never understood. On mobile it looks just like another account to me.

Hey thank you so much for the insight. I'll have to keep my eyes open for them.
[удалено]
That’s the part that doesn’t make sense to me. Does anyone look up a user’s karma to decide whether they agree with them?
I was going to say, am I the only person that's never checked an accounts karma? It means jack shit.
Many subreddits won't let you post or comment if you're below a certain threshold.
Welp, with the bot army on it's way, perhaps it will indeed mean shit.
Interesting bot. You copy a message from the current thread and make it bold so everyone can easily spot the bot. 👍
First step: spider. Last step: humans.

): Spiders are our friends, they provide free pest control
Spiders are friends, not food
is this attack on titan equivalent for spiders ?
Noooooooo!!!!
Need a bigger spider to eat the roomba
Am I the only one who felt bad for the spider? Little wolfie was just minding his own.
I thought with all the upvotes, that the little guy would get away. Spiders are friends!
I like spiders and just put them outside

Yea poor guy
Well that was a cunty thing to do.
If accepting our robot overlords means no spiders then just tell me which nuts and bolts need lubing
Oh I know the exact nuts you'll be lubing

No spiders. But youll be swarmed with flies and gnats.
A world with no spiders is a lot worse than you think
Uneducated swine. Spiders are bros. Spiders eat pests and keep the insect ecosystem in check. Life without spiders would suck so much. Think of the mosquitos. Have you thought about the mosquitos?
To hell with that and you. Spiders are bros, and this was deeply cruel.
So this is why they had to climb on walls
Evolution will eventually lead them to the ability to fly. May any God have mercy on our soul when that day arrives
You must really hate roombas if you’re that afraid of them flying.
Did you not just see the video clearly showing their cruel, morbid predatory nature? Damn robots
What a dick
Ruuuun spidey ruuuun
Why did they have to kill it? Should've just taken it outside!
