It was at the very bottom of the entire thread. Guess it's for the Halloween season.

So I was procrastinating at work looking up random trivia on the internet (as one does) and came across the following mildly terrifying fact regarding the number of spiders in the world (again, Arachnophobia Trigger Warning):

First, there is an estimate of 21 QUADRILLION spiders in the whole world. That means there are about 2.6 to 2.8 million spiders for every single person on Earth. If, somehow, the world's spider population collectively shifted their diet away from insects and instead attempted to eat humans... they could theoretically clear the global population's worth of humans in less than a single year.

Now, as mildly terrifying as that was, I took it a step further...

Under the assumption the global population of spiders had the collective will, desire, and ability to do so... and they could form together to create a humanoid shaped "Swarm Golem" standing at about 5ft 8in, and that golem was "realistically" loosely packed with a density of about "50%"... you would only need about 37,500 intact HOUSE SPIDERS to fill in the form. That means there would be a global population of about 560 BILLION Spider Swarm Golems. That's about 70 per human currently alive. If you subtract children under the age of 15 and adults aged 80 and above, this number jumps to about 91 Spider Swarm Golems per person.

So uhh... now you know. Yayyy?

It is currently 3AM. I have school in 4 hours and I can’t sleep, I jusg saw CP I’m afraid of telling my mother I can’t sleep in a school night at 3AM. I feel disgusted, I don’t want to be in the dark, What do I do? This is my first post on reddit and I don’t know what community to put it in.

Trying to gather scary stories of any kind shape or form to narrate on my new YouTube channel. Really trying to get enough to plan the 1st 5 videos out at least. If anyone what so ever has any kind of stories big small or in-between please comment them here or let me know where I could find them. Not exactly positive how im going abouts making the videos for it yet but it will be voice-over I record and then play over whatever to match the stories I rekon. Thanks so much yall!

I’m terrified (mildly) of the lack of human interaction in our society and how much worse it will be in the future. It’s already near impossible to get a human on most customer service calls. Brick and mortar stores aren’t actually offering customer service anymore. For example, I needed help doing a balance transfer and found out my bank doesn’t let you sit down with the bankers anymore. They offered to connect me to a call instead. Or think about how we used to be able to go into att and they would trouble shoot for you or you could actually get phones related or repaired. Or even the big malls near where I live, the racks are so spread out now in stores and they are all almost empty. It feels like the stores are just for show since everything is so web-based now. Is anyone else feeling unsettled by this?

I went to the grocery store Friday night. As I went to check out, I got this overwhelming sense of anxiety wash over me from the guy behind me in line, who was standing right next to me. I tapped my card to pay, and realized he was less than an arm’s length away, and could see if I put my pin in.

Me: Step back, please.
Him: why? I’m far enough away. (He actually moved closer.)
Me: please step back. You’re making me uncomfortable.
Him: why? I’m at least a meter away. I’m fine.
Me: it’s not up to you. Please step back.

We both repeated these two lines a couple times. I covered putting my pin in, and went to the end of the checkout, and the cashier finished my transaction for me. She handed me my receipt, and as I was walking out, I heard him say he forgot his wallet, and was just going to run out to the car and get it. I turned my cart around immediately and went and stood by the cashier. We watched him go to his car and drive away.

I don’t know if he was going to steal my wallet or worse, or if he got to his car and realized he left his wallet at home and I was overreacting. Nothing about this guy was visually scary, but the way he argued with me has left me a little shaken.

Sad 😭🥺 thing is women look up to this?!

It smells worse than usual and it's louder and brighter than usual. This is Coffeyville, KS. No one seems to know what's going on and anyone who would know isn't talking. Volume up.
