One of my bigger regrets in life is that I've never pulled a good hoax. Some of this no effort stuff that gets into the news makes me even angrier at myself because I could definitely pull off something better than just taking a picture of a guy and saying it's a ghost out of my rear end in about 10 minutes.

I actually tried to do a creepy forums hoax once, but I went too subtle and only one guy noticed lol :sigh:

this makes so much sense because I've seen lil spiders drifting around the air in my basement before, and there's little to no wind currents down there at all

the tweet misquotes the article though, it's not magnetic fields it's electric fields.

Oh you're right, spiders are exploiting the difference in charge between the atmosphere and the earth, flying for the same reason your hair stands on end when you hold on to a van de Graaff generator. Still incredibly badass.

quote:

When their silk leaves their bodies, it typically picks up a negative charge. This repels the similar negative charges on the surfaces on which the spiders sit, creating enough force to lift them into the air. And spiders can increase those forces by climbing onto twigs, leaves, or blades of grass. Plants, being earthed, have the same negative charge as the ground that they grow upon, but they protrude into the positively charged air.

IIRC, it's not known if magnetic charges (aka magnetic monopoles) actually exist.

they are, but the earth's magnetic field is not related directly to the static charge difference between the atmosphere and the planet. 🤓

Is my brain broken now - because I think the weirdest thing about this is that it pees? I love babies but their constant need for diaper changes is by far my least favorite thing about them. Mutant rabbit facial features acceptable, I guess, but simulated peeing WHY?

I know baby dolls, even non mutant ones, have been simulating peeing like forever and I just find this so strange.

After all these years I can't believe that didn't occur to me, but I guess the combination with baby dolls threw me off. Oh well, I guess this means I still have some innocence left!

I could instantly tell it was fake, because LV426 doesn't orbit anywhere near that close.

Although it doesn't really fit with the rest of the series, my favorite LOCAL58 short is Real Sleep. A lot of the others are horror stories where there is some monster or malevolent force trying to lure people in, and that's good, but Real Sleep is something else entirely.
