Is this a plushie spider? Tell me it is a plushie spider

 

[Always-honest]

That's not anywhere near the other pic. These spiders can reach 20cm legspan, with a body length around 10 (which seems about right in your pic). The other one is more like 20cm body length and 40cm leg span, assuming an average hand there.

Plus there's some suspicious stuff going on with ELA analysis and you can tell there's a hint of a vertical split right between the hand and the spider just looking at that pic.

just look at the carpet. The texture is much bigger with the spider.
Weird to shop this, because it's probably allready a big fucking spider.

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Let us in.

The Mist is basically an ordinary day in Australia.

This is an extreme fear I never knew I had.

[A Fish Aficionado]

Large spiders are very rarely harmful. Mosquitoes are the real menace.


Whistling Spiders

Females live up to thirty years, males up to eight years

They remember.

Why would someone post pics on fb that are lies, Raist. Why!

I'm being told it's a shop so you're safe.

Spoiler

For now

 

[Syriel]

That has to be an incredible fire hazard. Particularly in a climate like Australia's.

This is why the crows drop burning sticks on the ground.

It's all part of the plan.

 

[PaulloDEC]

God bless this hateful land of ours.

 

[Dead Man]

That's not a big spider, rather it's a very tiny hand which many Australians have inherited from their convict ancestry. It's specially adapted for picking pockets.

LOL

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Perfection...

Looks nice and soft. Like velvet.

 

[SatansReverence]

Had that one year in my little town. the front yard was well over a meter deep with the stuff.

 

[InsanerBrainer]

When you realize there's a million spiders in there

 

[PirateKing]

Disappointed this isn't about the awesome Aussie Beard Rock band The Beards. Although they have been doing what the headline is saying for years.

BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-35600546

It can cause a potentially fatal condition called "yellow big head" in sheep if eaten in large quantities

Scary!

 

[Sölf]

So when nature realizes it can't kill you with insects, it now tries to suffocate you with plants, right? Dafuq.

The tumbleweeds are just a spider and snake delivery systems. Right to your front door.

 

[Yagharek]

I expected spiders. Even after I saw the picture.

Each one could carry a dozen spiderlings.

*Ding dong* Its your delivery of deadly spiders and snakes, no need to sign, its a free trial...

 

[AtomskEater]

*relieved it's not spiders*
Oh, how nice. Weird, even the tumbleweeds want to end humanity in Australia.
*someone posts a spider pic, it gets quoted over and over*
FOr fuck's sa-

 

[BibiMaghoo]

This is what happens when enough people shave their pubes in the bath thinking it will be ok and they will drain. They will not. Learn the lesson people.

 

[andycapps]

If you showed me pictures of this and didn't tell me where it was from, I would have guessed Australia.

[The Wall]

Australia's next, complimentary sign of the apocalypse: spider rain!

 

[Irishmantis]

Are Australians immune to big Spiders at this point?

Like would they not panic if they say a big Spider in their bathroom and how commen is it to see big fucking insects?

Can an Austrauan person go a life time without being in the same presence of a huge critter?

 

[Eggbok]

This would be terrifying because then they would be falling into your chimney or crawing inside the vents of your house or your cars.

nope.

Nah I still shit myself at the sight of a Huntsman, even though they are harmless and actually hunt other spiders and insects, you better believe I'm gonna Mortein that mother down.

 

[The Wall]

I want to pet the fuzzy ones despite knowing so many are lethal.

 

[Uhyve]

Sounds like the title of an episode of Darkplace.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Hairy Panic is my new porn name

 

[The Lamonster]

Imagine all the giant spiders that can hide in those tumbleweeds.

 

[psynergylover]

I think Adam Orth would've gotten away with that "Why would I want to live there?" If it was referring to Australia

 

[Mephala]

I'd love a birds eye view of the place to see the streets covered in tumble weed. It does seem like a convenient place to hide snakes, spiders and other asshole stuff.

I have no new spider pics so I'll just post this old one from 2014 at my sister's place.

Not according to the local council. It was deemed NOT a fire risk which means they will not intervene leaving the town folk to fend for themselves.

We aren't immune to shit. We just gotta learn to kill the fuckers and eventually get a little desensitized. I would say that it is extremely uncommon to not see a couple of palm sized spiders if you live in Australia. Huntsman spiders are mostly harmless but they are quite common and grow pretty big.

Depends where you are in Australia determines what kind of critters are around. Sometimes it isn't even the big ones that are dangerous.

I honestly thought this would have something to do with pubic hair.

My entire body just shuddered, I got short of breath and broke out in goosebumps. That picture just gave me a panic attack. Gah, this tumbleweed is the kindling we need to burn Australia to the ground.

I'm usually indifferent to Simpson memes but this is a creative use of them. Well done sirs.
