#arachnophobia — Public Fediverse posts

We're looking for someone with #arachnophobia to see if our monster designs are too spidery. Anyone here willing to subject themselves for the sake of art? #gamedev #indiedev #spiders

I opened a kitchen cupboard and discovered a rather large spider.

We both pretended we did not see each other.

I closed the cupboard and will now set it in fire.

It’s better that way.

This afternoon, when I opened the door to the garden shed, a pretty chonky huntsman spider was sitting on the other side of the door. And guys, I could swear that it literally did one of those over-the-top cartoon jumps before running away. I mean I could HEAR it landing on the tile floor. 😅

Y’all. I almost died right now.

I was sitting here peacefully, writing code and listening to Bolt Thrower. Things were calm and enjoyable. Then I noticed a gigantic (like the size of Mothra) spider walking across the armrest. I freaked and went to brush it off, so it would be gone, but then it launched into my lap because it had latched onto me with a web. My chair has a foot rest that’s electronic, so I couldn’t get out of the chair. I almost threw my computer across the room trying to escape.

I was trying to save my computer and escape all at once and now I don’t know where it is and it’s probably in the cracks of the chair waiting for me to feel secure before it crawls out and wraps me up in a cocoon and drains my blood and east me for a snack later tonight when all I wanted to do was chill holy shit WTF.

Biophobia: people’s aversion to nature

"Evidence suggests that biophobia is a growing trend in many parts of the world. Ironically, this trend has emerged during a time when increasing people’s biophilia has become a critical challenge for ensuring the sustainability of the human relationship with nature. As highlighted in this review, biophobia can harm public health and undermine conservation, but lacks unified research. Although foundational theories and concepts have been established, a deeper and interdisciplinary understanding of the manifestations, drivers, and feedback loops associated with the human aversion to nature is urgent." >>

Nosferatu The Spider

When I see spiders in nature they don't bother me but when I see a large Nosferatu spider waiting in ambush in the stairway/hall it makes me deeply uncomfortable.

If you're hiking on snow, in April, in Switzerland, you will often see hundreds of spiders crawling across the snow. It doesn't bother me. If you do the Via Ferrata Illuminé on the Moléson you will see plenty of spiders as well. It doesn't bother me either. It's in nature and they have every right to be there. It's their natural environment.

The spider above the neighbour's door is at least five centimetres large. I fear that it will jump as me as I'm walking by. I don't want it to jump, or drop onto me.

It's because I asked Gemini via a photo that I know the type of spider. I read that if it's provoked to attack it feels similar to a wasp sting, and that it can pierce human skin.

And Finally

When I saw such spiders in my apartment I got rid of them as soon as I spotted them. In the past, with small spiders, when I did not get rid of them I woke up with bite marks. I want to get rid of them before they find somewhere to hide.

Coincidentally, years ago I saw a murray eel in an aquarium and I thought that if I saw one in nature it would freak me out. Eventually I did see murray eels when scuba diving and I felt perfectly calm. It's funnny how we're calmer about some things than others.

I will not share photos of the spider. I don't want to encourage your arachnophobia.

So, when we had the car serviced like 6 months ago they asked if we wanted the air filters changed for an extra $150. I said no, and have bought the air filters to change them myself (they cost like $24 each). There's an engine one and a cabin one, and I've watched a bunch of YouTube clips to learn how to change them both.

But, in watching all those clips I also saw a clip where a mechanic was making a joke. In the clip he took the glove box out to change the cabin filter behind it, and when he did the filter was covered with very obviously fake plastic spiders.. he screamed and jumped out of the car.

...but now I, an arachnophobe, feel really nervous about changing the air filter!

Can some car people please let me know that there are definitely no spiders in the cabin air filter behind the glove box in my car (or warn me that there might be...)?

Note to self: when you think you’ve dropped your pen between two lounge chairs and a quick look shows something dark in the shadows, do NOT reach your hand down there to pick it up!

Fortunately for my nerves it was a dead huntsman, but it was a major creep out nonetheless. Could have been worse, right? We’ve had funnelwebs in the house before. #arachnids #arachnophobia #spiders #straya #australia

#Spider warning for today's #Weretober - a werewolf! ...spider!

I'm pretty sure she looks more curious than hungry at the moment, but it's kinda hard to tell, so watch yourself.

My #arachnophobia just kicked into overdrive with this horror story.

This critter, about the size of a jumbo Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, was in our driveway this morning; had to sidestep around it while taking out the garbage. Daughter tells me it's in a defensive posture, and no wonder what with me looming over it to take this photo. Definitely less charismatic than our dachshunds! #arachnophobia
