    Don’t worry, atmospheric oxygen is too low to make gigantic spiders possible.

      If giant spiders existed, I could at least make a living the same way I accumulate gold in a fantasy RPG. 🤷‍♂️

            If you are so inspired, you can follow Nightvale’s example and begin an after-school volunteer ‘Teach a Spider to Read, Stop the Madness’ campaign.

      Cats can get into houses just fine.
      Also, having eight legs would make large spiders behave like giant hands, so opening windows and doors might be an easy task for them. Especially if multiple spiders cooperate…

      I’ve noticed the opposite problem: spiders are disappearing.

      Last summer my balcony was covered them. This year… well if they’re around, they’re hiding pretty damn well. I can’t find a single web this time around.

      I’m with you on this. But I wonder at what point you draw the line. A spider the size of a watch? A spider the size of a car? At what point do we prefer the smaller spider?
