I feel so much more normal for just saying hello to my shower spider now.
There's a spider in my bathroom

I do the feeding thing, but mostly because it feels wrong to kill a mosquito and then just throw it in the trash

Be careful, though! This is the first step towards what anon describes!

My shower spider gets a reminder of our deal.
“You know the drill. You stay up there, I stay over here, nobody has to be injured today.”
Sometimes the spider decides to come over to my side and gets flushed or squished, but they knew what was expected of them.

I have one of those who knows her place. She’s been there for probably a year now, and I don’t feed her so she must be doing something for me.
She briefly had a friend of the same species set up shop on the other side of the shower. That one didn’t get the memo and decided to wander all over the place while I was showering, breaking the pact. That one went down the drain. The other is still there, months after that event.

Real talk: people that save spiders and make it a moral thing confuse the heck out of me.
Like, if you were the spiders size proportionally to the spider, it would web you up and suck your blood for being in its home…

Shower spider wants to watch you touch yourself

Why don’t you people kill and dispose of spiders in your home?

They typically leave me alone, and eat the other bugs that don’t leave me alone.

They’re actually pretty beneficial (eating other more annoying bugs and all that) and usually not harmful to human residents in any way (except if you live in Australia). Killing them because “aah yuck spiders!” isn’t a good enough reason to many

Because I can trap mine in a jar and take it outside instead.

I hate to break it to you, but that’s a male spider and you’re gay.

I’ve never heard of such a thing. Is it really possible?

I’ve run out of AND. Best I can do is:

He’s going to let a spider crawl on his penis in the name of gooning isn’t he? I really want off this ride.

Bro, if it bites him he will get a spider dick that shoots webs.

It happened long ago. Closer to you than you think

The Spiderbro thing should have never started, now see where it has gotten us.

This is one instance where I’d say I’d actually prefer if he had an anime body pillow or real doll he was forming this sort of unhealthy attachment to.

Loneliness affects people. And as gregariois animals we are, the closest possibility to connect, in any form, is taken.

Y’know… as lonely as I can get (and I get pretty lonely), that mosquito munching on my forearm is still getting a firm slap.

I had a daddy longlegs in my bathroom for a while. My bathroom exhaust fan broke so the room would get super steamy, and I think the poor spider drowned, because it had clearly died in that spot, hanging from my ceiling.
I still feel a little sad about that spider-bro.
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Probably didn’t drown but might have gotten infected by mold. There’s a reason spiders prefer dry places.

What a freak!
Just fall in-love with AI like a normal person.
(I can’t even do that, I literally can’t see AI as people)

Look, everyone tries to fuck shower spider at some point. It’s a rite of passage

Spider-bros are the best. I hope one day I can have a trained jumping spider sidekick on my shoulder.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
I know I have hidden spider bros because I haven’t seen a single insect in my apartment in several years.
It’s just the fact that I haven’t seen any spiders in a while that makes me worried that I’m gonna lift something off the floor and see thousands of them or some shit lol

It might be centipedes. Those guys are apex predators of their microcosm.
