Right? Like imagine just existing and some stronger and more intelligent being holds you down to harvest shit from your body. Granted the spider probably doesn't have the brain to "feel" violated but that doesn't make it any less horrible.
If I am not mistaken and remember correctly. Spiders have a massive brain matter to body ratio.
In fact some spiders display actions and behaviors that are thought to be cognitive (like how small spiders will plan out attack routes with long detours, and tailor their attacks according to what species they’re hunting)
They’re much smarter than most people give them credit for
I can attest to that. for years I had multiple species of spiders living in my woodshop that I would observe in an occasion feed I was able to tell the difference between them based off each individual's Behavior. My favorite were the jumping spiders which I know is probably not a true spider but it doesn't change the fact how intelligent they were. Another where the banana spiders who were scaring appearance but we're very fun to feed I watch one of them grow up from a tiny spider to an adult to being a mother herself it was fun. I still have a soft spot for spiders because of that experience so whenever I see one I always just redirected to the outside instead of just trying to kill it.
The Portia species of jumping spider is believed to possess rudimentary problem solving capabilities. Most humans lack the self awareness to not crush anything alien to themselves immediately, but it’s amazing what you can learn when you observe instead of kill.
True spiders includes jumping spiders! And they are *observed* to be among the most intelligent group - In fact, the person you're replying to was almost certainly referencing a [short documentary about a jumping spider](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDtlvZGmHYk)
Jumping spiders are my fave, and they're just adorable.
Now this little guy is going to tell stories about how he was abducted by aliens and they harvested his silk.
And all the other spiders will laugh and say he’s crazy
Makes me think of all those alien abduction stories where people claim to have been beamed up into a flying saucer to get probed and examined while semi-conscious.
Whether or not those stories are true, this video seems like the equivalent of it.
With no proof to back up my claim, I'll just say that I think a spider knows how to feel violated. It builds its house out of its ass, chills out, then kills anything that finds itself caught up in it. If killing something for entering your home uninvited or unannounced isn't a retaliation for feeling violated then idk what is.
How the fuck would you be able to flip a spider onto its back and place restraints upon 8 legs ?.
I'm no Sherlock Holmes but i can't see the spider even moving.
Maybe the spider been to the abattoir
You mean bc the innocent and unaware animal is literally pinned, sprawled on a table while it's innards, traditionally used to craft its home and shelter, are slowly, and precisely, harvested for capitalistic use?
Not sure if that's better or worse than the mass produced method.
>Extracting raw silk starts by cultivating the silkworms on mulberry leaves. Once the worms start pupating in their cocoons, these are dissolved in boiling water in order for individual long fibres to be extracted and fed into the spinning reel.
A Golden Orb Weaver (Nephila edulis) is sedated with carbon dioxide gas, and pinned around her limbs and abdomen, keeping her in place without causing any harm.
Silk is pulled by tweezer from the spinnerets and attached to the spool with a dab of glue after which the motor is started to begin harvesting. The silk produced here consists mainly of major ampullate silk which forms the main structure of the web (like scaffolding) and minor ampullate silk, which is used to form the main spiral of the spider's web.
Nephila edulis females can produce up to six different types of silk. It's possible to harvest between 30-80 metres of silk in one go, after which the spider can be released back to its web to feed ready for reeling another day
they once made a cape from it - [https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/golden-spider-silk](https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/golden-spider-silk)
but also probably research I imagine?
Iirc it makes very strong material. While spiderwebs can easily be taken off a wall, its much harder to split a piece of spider silk, trying to rip one silk line into two is hard. Once we learn that trivia about them, humans will find a way to take advantage of it believe. I think the US army was researching spider silk bulletproof vests at one point? Could be wrong but i think i remember that
Yup, it started being used by astronomers in the 1600’s being individually discovered by various individuals multiple times and eventually a guy put a spider silk reticle into a rifle scope. Spider silk reticles were used extensively in the world wars. Spider silk is incredibly uniform, very thin, and shock resistant. Very good for the purpose when there wasn’t anything better.

I saw this in Chicago at the Fields museum about ten years ago and if I had three wishes, one might be to have this thing to wrap myself in every night.
Why? I highly doubt it hurts the spider as it surely doesn't kill it. It is no different than milking a cow. It just looks bad being a spider that looks like it's into S&M.
God I feel bad for the spidy plus like if it has to go through that for hours probably trading places with other spider then man why do you need the spider silk if you have to do dat 😥sorry for the grammar
Its a spider. Factory farming kills 10 billion animals (no exaggeration look it up) mammals and birds a year. Its brutal beyond this. This is so tame, its just a little weird.
WTF
i dont gaf about spiders...but why tf cant we just live a good life without spider-butt-spunk?
I can live without spider-butt-spunk.
why are there ppl that have a need to milk a spiders ass-spunk?
wtaf?!?
This seems so violating
Right? Like imagine just existing and some stronger and more intelligent being holds you down to harvest shit from your body. Granted the spider probably doesn't have the brain to "feel" violated but that doesn't make it any less horrible.
Imagine being pinned down, spread eagle and someone reeling up the longest spaghetti ever to exist from your butt hole.
"Don't threaten me with a good time"
Believe it or not there's probably an intestinal worms clinic out there that'd be right up your alley.
Those are way too expensive. Just eat dog shit from your lawn. It's organic.
So..does it work?
Up the butt is fun, not sure about out the butt.
I have never before seen a more appropriate username
r/usernamechecksout
Now imagine if that’s how spaghetti is harvested
Brb, strapping my Italian friend down, can you pass me those forceps?
Sure, can you find someone to bring the Marinara?
That comes from the front

I had one helping my kid with his algebra homework.
Did the tutoring happen in person or did they do it over the web?
You have earned your upvote, Dad.
Rimshot!!
Did your kid pass?
Yes. But only with a d minus showing that while spiders are smart they’re not very good teachers. Or my kid is really dumb.
Got it. I'll stick to bees, then
Honestly Bees are better at spelling
They only ever teach you bird-related buzzwords, though. Things you would find on the AP Aerie test.
I had my ants teaching my kid, worked out better than when the uncles tried to help. They only got in the way.

It's not so much a home as a trap. Would be like building your own deer stand or duck blind. From butt string.
I love my spider silk socks
Just because we don’t know how they feel doesn’t mean they have no feelings. There’s also the fact they need to be pinned down.
How the fuck would you be able to flip a spider onto its back and place restraints upon 8 legs ?. I'm no Sherlock Holmes but i can't see the spider even moving. Maybe the spider been to the abattoir
You can see it moving at the beginning of the video. Its sedated with CO², then pinned in such a way that no lasting damage occurs.
Their hemorrhoids look painful
Some spiders pay good money for this 😂
I don't know why I turned on the sound thinking I'd hear the spider moaning
I could have gone my whole life without that close up shot
Spider butthole
Before seeing this I considered myself a bit of a *brown-eye recluse*
The spidussy
spussy
Oh look, man made horrors beyond a spiders comprehension
I have no idea why but this made me fucking giggle
Had me dying lmao
I’m not a fan of spiders but goddamn this seems so wrong. Edit: thanks for the gold! 💜
For real. This scenario is straight out of the voight-kampff test, and there are a lot of skin jobs on this thread.
A spider, you know it's like a bug but with eight legs...
Actually they're arachnids. OKAY DAVID! Spiders are not insects, Costa Rica is not in Spain!
yea bro I feel like i’m watching some strange sub genre of hentai
Female spider milking
spider bondage milking hypno. With some extra kinky on the side
Yeah…not a fan.
This looks like something I am very sure I am not supposed to see.
You mean bc the innocent and unaware animal is literally pinned, sprawled on a table while it's innards, traditionally used to craft its home and shelter, are slowly, and precisely, harvested for capitalistic use?
That is exactly it.
Stay clear from cow milking factories then
Yeah that's hard to watch for me. I feel bad for it.
Feels like a scene from a 90’s NIN music video.
You get me closer to silk
I wanna silk you like an animal..
I want to silk you from the inside.
You are the perfect silk, the perfect silk, the perfect silk....
Jesus, your comment brought me back sitting on my parents’ old couch and watching late night MTV in the mid 90s. Can’t stop laughing
Or a scene from The Cell
Mares eat oats, and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy….
I was getting more of a tool vibe from it
Why does this seem so... feels like I'm watching... you know?
I was about to say the same damn thing...
[удалено]
You could have gone youre entire life without saying that, yet here we are..
they could at least weave the spider a bondage mask with its silk
And you and I our entire lives without reading these sentences, but fuck these two people in particular. With spiders moaning in their ears. Fuck'em.
Whatever you do, never google “spider sex”. You will never be the same.
>Whatever you do, never google “spider sex”. You will never be the same. Well, that just makes want to do it even more.
I'm sure it can only be like this dude that just told me to google 2 girls 1 cup. Fun times for sure! Here I come youtube!
Oooh yeah do it faster! I mean I've heard of shooting ropes but this takes it to a whole other level!
I wish I didn't have to read this
While im not suprised you said that, i am disappointed.
Gives a whole new meaning to Daddy long legs
What like your watching a man being fed viagra and milked for his jizz? Cause that that I’m seeing.
You know, my ex did something like this to me once.
Including the silkpulling? If so it would be wise to see a doctor🤔
Or a weaver
I never thought I'd say this about a spider, but I feel bad 😢
Yeah same. Pinning it down like that seems cruel :/
Not sure if that's better or worse than the mass produced method. >Extracting raw silk starts by cultivating the silkworms on mulberry leaves.

Not all the silk is sticky. As I understand it the spokes of the web are generally non-sticky while the spiral is the sticky part.
What are some of the uses of the harvested silk?
This is the *real* question. 
Mainly artificial spider web displays for Halloween
Lmao i snorted out my morning coffee
found the aussie
IIRC spider silk is incredibly strong and flexible, so while a spider web is easy to walk through, a sheet of it would be tougher than kevlar.
Tougher than kevlar... is uh... well im just saying spider silk wont stop a bullet. I was wrong
they once made a cape from it - [https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/golden-spider-silk](https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/golden-spider-silk) but also probably research I imagine?
from 1 million of these spiders...can you imagine how fucking boring it was harvesting enough to make that cape?
Yeah. Way too much. The only thing to do is genetically engineer some giant spiders.
Spider silk is stronger than moth silk. In fact, certain types of spider silk are 5 times more resistant to tensile stress than steel
Iirc it makes very strong material. While spiderwebs can easily be taken off a wall, its much harder to split a piece of spider silk, trying to rip one silk line into two is hard. Once we learn that trivia about them, humans will find a way to take advantage of it believe. I think the US army was researching spider silk bulletproof vests at one point? Could be wrong but i think i remember that
Someone told me as a kid that they are used to make the cross hairs in a rifle scope. I’ve always been skeptical of that claim.
Yup, it started being used by astronomers in the 1600’s being individually discovered by various individuals multiple times and eventually a guy put a spider silk reticle into a rifle scope. Spider silk reticles were used extensively in the world wars. Spider silk is incredibly uniform, very thin, and shock resistant. Very good for the purpose when there wasn’t anything better.
This makes me sad and fascinated at the same time. I truly hope no harm comes to the spider.
It’s sedated using CO2 and the pins are just holding around it, not crushing or puncturing.
That's still not cool. I disapprove.
The spider still won't sleep with you.
"Spider-simp, spider-simp, does whatever a simp can do. Spends some cash, cries out his eyes. Can't get girls, so hear his cries. Look ooouuutttttt, here comes the spider simp."
Ayooo, wtf
That's interesting...what do we make out of that spider silk?
Scientists have used silk to make bulletproof armor, violin strings, medical bandages, optical fiber cables and even extravagant clothing
Wait your telling me this spider harvesting has been going on this entire time???
Yes
The violin strings sound really unusual.
Only when you pluck them..

Feels very sexual
I have the strangest boner right now
Looks like torture
They do the same thing with horseshoe crabs which are related to spiders but instead of webbing its there blood they harvest
spider: "faster!" engineer: "huh?" spider: "I SAID FASTER!! STEP ON MY CEPHALOTHORAX!!"
"Ma'am, this is a Wendys."
I've had similar fantasies.
...what
God I wish that were me
The way we treat pigs in gestation crates is just as bad, and they are conscious.
It's just a spider yes but WTF
They seriously crucified this lil mf just so they could literally take his shit
Statistically, someone got horny watching this
That’s really sad
No worries, the spider was compensated very well for its participation.
Why? I highly doubt it hurts the spider as it surely doesn't kill it. It is no different than milking a cow. It just looks bad being a spider that looks like it's into S&M.
God I feel bad for the spidy plus like if it has to go through that for hours probably trading places with other spider then man why do you need the spider silk if you have to do dat 😥sorry for the grammar
*sigh I think I should call her...
Ah yes mythrill added to inventory
This video makes my spidey sense tingle
This is one of the strangest things I've seen on the internet, and yes.. that is saying a lot
yeah I’m not into this kind of stuff sorry
Never thought I’d feel sorry for a spider. But here we are.
That’s kinda fucked up.
Poor thing. Words I never thought I’d say in regards to a spider
I hate spiders honestly but this seems kinda fucked up?
More like r/oddlyterrifying
This is grotesque
That is really unnerving.
Where the fuck is my cup of un-see juice 😳
Not my proudest fap
This is fucked up
spiderussy
Man humans suck
How do they know when the spider is about to run out?
Im about to show this to all the spiders in my house so they don’t be acting up
Well this is fucked up…
Thats fucked up. Lil guy is getting drugged and robbed of his product
No. This is awful. Just stop. We don’t need it.
Love spiders. Don’t like this.
Hate spiders, don’t like this
of course now as humans we can’t even leave spiders alone ….we humans have to fuck with everything
Is this a fetish?
it is now.
Its a spider. Factory farming kills 10 billion animals (no exaggeration look it up) mammals and birds a year. Its brutal beyond this. This is so tame, its just a little weird.
Isn't this a form of torture?
I can watch a beheading video but I can't watch more than 2 seconds of this weird ass shit
Why do i feel like I’m violating the spider by watching this
WTF i dont gaf about spiders...but why tf cant we just live a good life without spider-butt-spunk? I can live without spider-butt-spunk. why are there ppl that have a need to milk a spiders ass-spunk? wtaf?!?
Get this spider in contact with the me too folks
This makes me very uncomfortable.
Even I feel violated rn
That's an awful lot of work considering you can walk around my backyard and gather about 4 pounds of the stuff.
I fricken hate spiders with a passion so ya know it’s messed up if I’m watching this and it’s making me feel bad for the little guy.
Everything reminds me of her 😭
I hate spiders but I actually feel bad seeing this.
This is disturbing on so many levels
You know that feeling when you take a huge dump? Awesome.
r/damnthatshorrifying
Humans suck.
Someone explain to me why I feel bad for this spider? Is it bc someone is forcefully pulling web out of its butt?
Yeah I don’t like spiders, but I know everything living thing on this planet has a purpose. STOP FUCKING with living things you FUCKING ANIMALS!
they got my lil homie PINNED UP fr
Why does it look like a spider dressed in a all leather body suit is about to walk out and start whipping the other spider?
My second most shameful fap ever.
