Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

I probably watched The Man from Earth (2007) over ten times.

The entire concept of cinemas is obsolete and I can’t wait for the last one to go out of business.

Funny enough, inside are a lot of hydraulics. The reason most spiders curl up when dead is because they lose hydraulic pressure for their leg, which extends them (while muscles will contract them).

Not unless you want to make it one :D

I already plugged !spiders@lemmy.world which I’m moderating. Spider post don’t come up often on lemmy, so I will be all over them. You never stood a chance.

You should never add the /s.

Either way, I’d just would have pretended to take it seriously so I can drop some spider knowledge. Nothing you could do.

Unless you have a serious cockroach infestation, or other big big bugs in your home, probably not the best idea. These are quite big and very active spiders that will wander around all the time. For indoor spaces you want spiders that will stay put in corners, like Theridiidae or Pholcidae.

Yes, wolf spider refers to the family “Lycosidae”. I’m pretty sure it’s one of them.

It’s a very unfortunate angle for a proper ID.

Probably a wolf spider. I’m not quite sure if what I’m seeing are the eyes, though.

Also shamelessly plugging !spiders@lemmy.world

Yes, that was some great lip service.

Except that way fewer people enjoy having them licked.

That’s nice for small collection, but I don’t want to buy a 2 TB SD card for my phone that I then have to keep in sync, so streaming from my home server is a far better option.

And with a music play with a cache, you can still listen to your regular playlists while offline.

If one values the well-being of people

Not really. I mean, what are the chances there are two murderers in the house?

I know quite a few proper arachnologists from other communities, but none of them uses lemmy. Reddit’s r/spider community is really one of the only things I miss about that platform. It was a great community. We were like 10 people that did identifications and regularly pm’d and tagged each other in posts, because we even knew each others specific areas of expertise …

It’s no fun being the only “authority” on a subject, because I do get shit wrong sometimes and there is no one to challenge it, really.

True. But to proof I’m not a total hack, I do have at least 3 books! And they were actually nearby because I regularly use them.

I moderate !spiders@lemmy.world. I quite enjoy doing identifications, though those are hard to verify if you, well … don’t know any better :D

edit: also, If anyone does know better, I’ll happily invite them as a mod. Having second opinions is a good thing for these kind of communities!

It’s certainly not required since everybody can just create a community and be a moderator if they want to.

But I think at least with some smaller niche communities, people that have a special interest in them will tend to run them.

At least in my case I think I do have a special understanding of the topic I’m moderating, though I certainly don’t have a degree. Feel free to test me on it, though!
