anti spider paint? Never heard of it before.

@Color Anon  
If only there was a plant to keep away mice. Every wire smelling like vinegar gets old after a while.

@Acres  
 
It’s very popular in my country because unfortunately, our spiders are crazy poisonous and are everywhere.

@Acres  
Just one? I usually buy a whole pack.

@Acres  
One of those big, aggressive wolf spiders? Or one of those bony, undead-looking fuckers?

 
I’ve seen some of these. Spiders are active year round around here. The Bold Jumper spiders hang out in mailboxes. They’re mostly harmless.

Always, always wash before you wear, or you might have to wait several painful days for skin to grow back.

@Dex Stewart  
Yeah. Jumping spiders don’t bother me much. The recluses, on the other hand, need to be exterminated as a species.

I’ve actually been bitten by spiders a few times. Small black ones. Nothing serious,but they make you sore for a few days. The worst bug I ever came in contact with was a caterpillar.  
I was moving some metal junk,and saw a fuzzy yellow caterpillar on a branch. I brushed it off with the back of my arm,so I wouldn’t hurt it. The spot on my arm where I touched it turned red,swelled up and burned like a motherfucker for nearly a week. I have no idea what kind of crazy toxic shit that caterpillar had but holy fuck.

@Officer Hotpants  
Wolf spiders aren’t very aggressive in my experience. They got rid of virtually any bug problem I was having very fast when they did show up too. That said, I’m scared of spiders and they’re big and fast and I hate them. Almost as much as the garden spiders around here that are as big as my hand.

@Officer Hotpants  
I love Wolf Spiders! Used to watch them all the time as a kid.
 
 
@Dex Stewart  
Asp? Though I’m not sure they are up where you live but it sounds like that to me. They HURT.

@Dex Stewart  
I have personal experiences with fire ants and yellowjackets in which the individual stings were not exceptionally bad, but the sheer numbers in which I received them made the experiences into things I’d rather not do again. They’re one of the reasons I now live in the northern US, where the winters are too cold for that species of ants to live and the wasps aren’t nearly as common as they are in the Deep South.

 
Kinda looked like this. Damn I guess these guys are dangerous.  
When I was little we had little fuzzy caterpillars all over. Grey ones and those black and orange ones. My friends and I would let them crawl up our arms. So I’m not squeamish around them,maybe I should.

@Dex Stewart  
It was most likely a puss worm, I believe they’re called that. It’s a caterpillar which appears to be hairy and soft, but in reality those “hairs” each have a nerve toxin either within or on them. Nerve toxins attack the nerves just under your skin, I believe. These toxins can eat away all the outer protective layer of the nerves and once exposed, they react badly to stimuli due to their sensitive nature. People generally report that the pain caused by these seemingly harmless and perhaps even cute creatures is similar to a broken bone in some cases. The more of those hairs your come into contact with the worse the pain due to the increasing amount of toxin you’ve been exposed to.

@Adan Druego  
If a bird ate one it’d fuckin DIE!

@Color Anon  
Although having a significant amount of spiders due to the constant hot weather here I have never used it.  
Yeah, I remember it was very innovative and popular since it’s made with national plants.

@Anonymous #5DF6  
You’ve never been charged by one, I take it. It’s quite an experience, let me tell you. A spider nearly the size of your fist coming sprinting at you.

@Officer Hotpants  
I was sitting on the couch one day and looked over to see one about to crawl over me. Never gotten off the couch so fast in my life. Then it stopped, turned, and stared at me so I grabbed a shoe and beat it until it stopped moving. The closest I’ve come to being charged by a spider is when I picked up a cinder block without looking inside it and a spider ran up my arm.
 
I dropped the cinder block on my foot.

@Officer Hotpants  
I did have a snake come at me once,but it was a stupid little garden snake,so it was just kinda funny.

@Anonymous #5DF6  
This fucker came right for me from across the living room. Had to drop a jug of bleach on him to kill him. Took a couple smashes, too; little bastard wouldn’t die.

My phone just had another unavoidable “update”. Now all my music and audio downloads are unplayable. The play app is dead,and all my legally accessed music will not play at all. Now I have to use youtube music. Not sure if it will work offline,or if I’ll even be able to find everything again.  
Oh fuck it doesn’t work offline,and on top of that it’s something I have to fucking pay for?

I have so many notifications on discord I can’t keep up with them and my phone goes off every second.

@TheGamerPainter  
Mute the channels you don’t use very often.

@Dex Stewart  
Every day brings new reasons for me to not waste money on one of those things.

@Officer Hotpants  
I have figured out that if I go to my download info in settings I can play one song at a time. No more shuffle.
