Molting spider, happens right inside your house hundreds of times each year.

I don't see how people can hate something like this, it's fucking fascinating.

[–]ragingratinacage 26 points27 points ago

First, nuke my house. Second, nuke every other house. Third, kill myself because I cannot and will not stand the thought of living in a world where this happens "hundreds of times each year."

Just a spider molting. The "skin" doesn't get Up and walk away or move. Jus old dead skin.

I just couldn't tell WTF I was looking at. Apparently it's "just a spider molting." It looks like something out of Aliens.

If you had Reddit Enhancement Suite you wouldn't have to worry about that, my friend.

Or you could just check the URL that shows up at the bottom of your browser when you hover over a link. Your choice, really.

[–]missmichellini 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ooooh, that would have been a good idea. I think I will do that next time.

Usually when I click a link and the whole thing highlights I get the sense it was all one link.

Really? You feel nothing over seeing a man get executed and decapitated with a knife, but you see a spider molting and it ruins your day?

[–]OilySalmon 0 points1 point ago

That must feel great. Like taking of a cast or a sweaty sock after a day of hard labor.

[–]scrotal_misadventure 0 points1 point ago

Just remember, whenever you feel a tickle at night, it's a spider molting on your skin. Molting makes spiders hungry.

You know when you spend all day wearing a pair of new shoes that don't quite fit right and haven't stretched out properly yet, then you take them off at the end of the day and sigh happily?

That's how that spider feels.

I kinda wish humans could do that. It looks like it feels so good, like taking off a wool hat after wearing it a really long time, or getting out of a car after a long road trip.

I used to have a pet tarantula and when it molted it looked like there were two spiders in the cage. You'd never know the difference just looking at it.
