        Second, find a take-away container, scoop the spider into the container

        What, like an excavator?

        We let huntsman spiders live in our houses, they’re harmless and keep other insects down. That one has been eating well. They’re not often that big

          Yes, I know that Huntsman are calm and not dangerous for humans ¹, as mostly the bigger spiders are not, dangerous are some smaller ones (few, also in Australia), but anyway I would try to sleep with my mouth closed.

            I’m sure they would only venture onto you if they were persuing something that already ran onto you

            You’re big and scary and dangerous to something as small as a dinner plate sized spider, they’re not going to risk walking on megafauna (did you know we are megafauna?)

            Tiny spiders might not have the perspective to recognise that we’re living things, but they crawl on us when we’re awake. Huntsmans keep a distance from us, and think they’re perfectly camouflaged while they stand still, as they are when they’re not on an ivory white wall

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged, but keep it in good faith and never punch down.
