I'm very phobic of spiders (and insects), but this made me sad. Might be the first time I feel bad for a spider.

They probably swapped out the live spider for an empty moult (shed skin), which would explain why the leg was floating- hollow and dry. Why anyone would grind up a $40-50 tarantula for something you couldn't possibly consume (the urticating hairs on the abdomen and legs would make it impossible to do without choking- this is why natives that eat tarantulas roast them before consumption, to burn off the hairs) is beyond me.

well a banana milkshake mixture may actually have a higher density than the tarantula leg. If not a higher density, enough viscosity to keep the leg in a sort of "stasis" in the mixture.

But you're right about the hairs.

[–]jarde 0 points1 point ago

Why would you choke on tiny hairs in a mixture as thick as a banana milkshake?

[–]Cservantes 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

it's not that you choke on them, it's that they slice up your throat and digestive tract. Imagine them like tiny needles and fishhooks.

Same. I don't like spiders but this seems a bit over board...

[–]stevesonaplane 2 points3 points ago

Maybe eating them would help you overcome your fear. I've always thought that people will be eating bugs in the future.

[–]cadencehz 2 points3 points ago

Just saw a Businessweek article about how the business of bugs for food is growing, organically grown meal worms and things like that. Disgusting to me.

I don't watch the cows get slaughtered. If I did, I might have some qualms eating it.

I get it because like, the tarantula is the gross thing but the banana is the other thing and so you say banana because everyone is thinking tarantula and it's funny hehehehe.

I doubt he actually drank it. Tarantulas contain irritating hairs that they flick to ward off predators. They itch and, depending on the specie of tarantula, can vary from mildly annoying to extremely painful. Blending it would have not destroyed those hairs, and drinking that liquid would mean a very sore throat.

I go out of my way not to kill insects (I bring them outside) so at first glance I was like "what an ass". Then I noticed it doesn't actually show the spider in semi mangled condition at any point, just a few "legs" in the mix. I say fake.

[–]lop987 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Someone above said that since the legs are floating, it's likely the spider was swapped for it's shed skin. Also the tiny hairs would make it near impossible to actually swallow. Makes me feel better, I love spiders and hate seeing them dead.

Sorry holmes, the milkshake that guy is drinking appears to be of the chocolate variety. Maybe next time pick out a better matching picture to troll with.

Eating bugs is supposed to be good for you, but that's a pricey milk shake. I'm not gonna be eating bugs anytime soon, just saying.

uh, drinking spider venom wouldn't do jack shit to your health, other than possibly leaving a bad taste in your mouth. injecting poison directly into the veins also wouldn't do jack shit. that man survived.

Tarantulas are only mildly venomous, at the worst like a bee sting. The venom is not going to be a problem.

[–]Skeeter83 0 points1 point ago

Why would they do that to the tarantula? If someone did that to a cat people would be freaking out.

I wouldn't mind putting him in a blender with some strawberries, see how that feels. Most people who torture or kill animals have been picked on or sexually abused and they have a need to fight back against something that can not defend itself in order to regain self worthiness. In other words, they are a fucking pussy and need their ass whopped for a second round.

This guy looks like the kind of guy who would do something like this. Just a boring, stupid looking, middle class white guy who never outgrew the need to eat boogers to get the cooler kids to pay attention to him. What a depressing waste of life.
