Giant tarantulas keep tiny frogs as pets. Insects will eat the burrowing tarantulas’ eggs - so the spiders protect the frogs from predators, and in return the frogs eat the insects. Source
This has blown my mind for years. It’s so unreal. It’s almost the same exact reason humans and cats started living together.
Tiny frogs are tarantula housecats. A science fact seldom gets to sound that much like meaningless word salad.
This is legit, guys. And I’m excited about it.
Someone needs to draw a tarantula person with a tiny pet housefrog now. Please let this be a thing.
not voting isn’t refusing to play the game. You’re in this country, you’re subject to the game whether you like it or not. The only way not to play is to leave, and the vast majority of us don’t have that option.
Not voting is playing the game but saying ‘pass’ every time your turn comes up and then wondering why you lost.
Making young people not vote is actually a tactic used in politics to keep the satus quo. The young vote is always the one for change, so dissuading them from voting at all is actually a political tactic used by the people in charge to keep themselves there.
not to be galaxy brain on main or anything but in mythology and literature snakes are often a symbol of fertility and rebirth and immortality which would strictly oppose grandpa harleys motif of skulls and corpses which would (obviously) represent death and mortality and due to the rather concerning amount of both snake references in hiveswap (names of the songs, the cherub key and machine, the serpent-esque monsters accosting joey and jude) and the. large amount of corpses scattered about the half-harley manor, the only conclusion is that joey is going to fucking die and be reborn, either literally or metaphorically but this is homestuck so. yeah
Antivaxx bitches: big pharma is lying to you to make money off your $30 vaccinations without insurance. I’d rather spend $200 a month on essential oils from a pyramid scheme. They are much more trustworthy
The urge to seduce Death, to take it softly by the cold hand and lead it to your boudoir, is an ancient and primal one that we can only explore by with cheat codes on The Sims.
I have to say I really appreciate how Into the Spider-Verse makes no effort whatsoever to give Dr. Octavius any kind of pathos. Superhero media so often goes out of its way to establish that the main villain’s female sidekick – should one be present – has Suffered Terribly and how it’s totally Not Her Fault that she’s ended up the way she is, or at least give her a humanising moment of empathy with the protagonist, but nope. She’s just a big amoral jerk and no one likes her.
What I’m saying is that Olivia Octavius is the kind of mad scientist who would unironically respond to a hero’s horrified “what in God’s name?” by exclaiming “God had nothing to do with it!”, and I respect that.
You’re wrong, OP; I like her.
She KNOWS if Kingpin succeeds, his family will die a horrific death and SAys NOTHing.
I LOVE her.
If anything She’s the one using kingpin. Promising reunion she knows for a fact will end more painfully than the thanos snap all so she can do science and rip the multiverse apart
