They're very aggressive spiders and will go into their attack pose (first picture) very quicklly. They won't chase you like how you're imagining though, and I don't know if I'd call them 'territorial'. I mean, if you stay close enough to them for them to remain feeling threatened they will stay in defensive posture until you get away from them, but it's not like say, taking a 10 second sprint, turninng around and seeing a small dark blob slowly following you. They're also ambush predators, so they're not really in the 'chase poo poo down and kill it" camp anyway. They make burrows that they line with webs (where their name comes from) and make a hatch; things come near that hatch get attacked. No, the spiders we have to worry about here are the St. Andrew's Cross spiders. Fuckers like making a web in the little alley between our garage and fenceline EVERY GODDAMN MORNING. And their web is really strong/sticky, too. They're completely harmless though, just a few instances of "HOLYFUCKSHIT WHAT THE gently caress IS THAT loving SPIDERS" as you walk groggily to your car to go to work.

The Brazilian Wandering Spider has been known to aggressively attack humans if disturbed. It's a danger to humans because it has no fixed nest (as the name suggests) and it tends to just make its home wherever; in your shoe, under the bed, on your faceInequality Godzilla posted:drat, this whole time I figured Australia was infested with wildly deadly spiders that would chase you, turns out all they've got are alligators, cassowaries, dropbears, kangaroos that can kick through your stomach, trees that are venomous to the touch, deserts, box jellyfish and a dickhead for a prime minister. We do have the Death adder which has been known to chase humans when disturbed and are territorial. Does that make you feel better?

The fact that he's in shape and the costumes are pretty well done rules out furry, I think.

InequalityGodzilla posted:You know, Australia is a beautiful country and from what I've heard you guys have the best beaches in the world but you could not force me to visit there at gunpoint. It's not really like that; the last native animal I saw was an obese possum in the park, sitting on top of a garbage bin eating trash. I walked right past it and the fucker didn't even look up. You'd think the continent is designed to be as hostile as possible to humans, but it's quite the opposite. The ecosystem has had humans playing a massive part in how it works for over 40,000 years, more than any other single species, using fire to create prime hunting land, while also being the only decent-sized predator around (roos, like deer, need something to hunt them or their population explodes). Then we came along and murdered most of the other humans and the land couldn't cope with not having a mild fire run through it 1-2 times a year and in a generation it became all hosed up. Huh, now that I think about it, all those deadly spiders and snakes would probably have had a harder time back then than they do now, what with there being a lot less dead wood and shrubbery around. Sorry for the derail, I just like this stuff. I want to contribute, so I did a little look, and this:  ...seemed like it was relevant. IronClaymore has a new favorite as of 15:55 on Nov 17, 2014 |

Can we just agree that if you live in Australia or a area with incredibly venomous spiders, it isn't arachnophobia, it's just common sense? Content:

And of course we're gonna take a poison from "the most venomous species of spider" and use it to make boner pills.

As a single picture this would better fit in the Awkward/Ugly/Gross thread, but as a site it's more Creepy. Like a dead person that was photo edited with MSPaint to look like a real doll. http://ivoneweldon.com/

I keep looking at the pictures and feel like somethings...off and I can't put my finger on it. So many small details that just unsettle me en masse, like the too-low ceiling or the bricked over window...

Man, maybe I've been in NYC too long but that place doesn't really seem all that bad to me. Sure it's small and the ceiling is low, but it's clean and pleasant looking. And $775 is an incredibly low rent as well. I guess living here just does things to the part of your brain that's responsible for judging potential living spaces, like some kind of toxoplasmosis for apartment renters.
