      I don’t need help. But I would urge you to not spread misinformation about spiders, I like them. Well actually you told people not to eat them … I support that. But you did it for the wrong reasons.

        My good dude, what I said is correct and you’re going to hear it from me every time the topic of eating spiders is going to be brought up. I simply can’t find it in myself to waste the rest of this evening trying to convince a guy who expects argument, not a discussion.

        Feel free to treat it as “a win” or whatever suits you.

          I’m ok with that. It’s a very, very … very weird hill to die on, but till next time I guess?

          You do realise I’m also against eating spiders? I just don’t think we need to tell people they are poisonous to do so. I’ve interviewed a few people and they are very much pro not eating spiders. I don’t think we have to lie about them being poisonous at all!

            I ate spiders where they are served as a meal. And I still enjoy their companionship. This does not and won’t prevent me from pointing out that they are indeed poisonous - plenty of them in fact.

            It’s the same thing as with certain mushrooms. The dose makes a poison. In case of spiders, eating one or two won’t do you much harm.

              But that doesn’t make sense. Yes, the dose makes the poison. But by that standard everything is poisounus, even freaking water.

              You are stretching the word beyond it’s meaning. You could easily eat an entire bowl of common spiders around your house with no ill effects. Not sure what happens if you eat a bowl of Atrax robustus, but apperently no one was yet stupid enough to try it, so we don’t know.

              So stop spreading shit that isn’t true. Please.

                Water isn’t poisonous. It’s a colloquialism. Drinking large quantities of water WILL kill you, because it will (again, a colloquialism) “wash out your electrolytes, thus introducing electrolytic imbalance to the organism”.

                Also, please stop making idiotic and potentially harmful claims that you can eat a bowl of spiders. Or, if you’re absolutely adamant that it’s true, please provide photos of you doing so.

                Until I see a photo, or a recording of you eating a bowl of spiders, you’ll get no response of me. No distractions, no avoidance, no cheap dirty tricks. Put your money where your mouth is.
