I must be weird cause spiders are bros. I always help em out and move em elsewhere whilst telling em to keep on killing the enemy bugs.
Spiders are awesome especially the jumping varietals.
Except when there are: https://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-what-happens-to-spiders-webs-in-space
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…
Pretty sure their size-constraint isn’t gravity anyways, it’s oxygen. Assuming arachnids ‘breathe’ like insects, anyways
I think I know a really funny prank we can pull with the next supplies shipment to the space station lol.
Four spiders, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 5. Large enough to be legible of course.
I’m not entirely sure I’m comfortable with having spiders large enough to write on. I know they exist but now that I’ve thought about it I don’t like it.
Well you see, that’s the hilarious part. You won’t have those spiders anymore, the astronaut will. Floating in his tin can. Far above the moon. Planet earth is blue and there’s nothing he can do. 🎸🎸🎸👏👏
Did anybody see what happened to the spider experiments box over near the airlock? I could have sworn that was where I left it.
They went down to the planet and enslaved the ants that live there.
Portia approves of this message.
You’ll have to remind me, was that the leader or the rebel?
EDIT: Wait, without looking it up, I just realized they only gave a name to the leader. Is that right?
She was the main character, she was a high priest, warrior who “defeated” the ants, hunter, etc. Portia was the name given to the main guy of the story.
Yeah, but isn’t that name passed down? It has been a while since I read Children of Time (haven’t read the rest of the series). I swear there are multiple spiders over the span of the plot that are given the name.
I think it’s the name given by the author for the reader’s sake and not their “real” name. I think he says in the beginning, let’s call her portia . Their names are said in taps of their limbs. And are probably different for different portia over the history of the series. I may be mistaken.
Guess I have a reason to continue the series.
