BURN IT WITH FIRE!!!!
7365260 as someone who lives in Australia, you would think I'd learn to get over the fear of spiders.
The only think I have learned is that shoes are the best weapon we have against the Arachnid threat.
7365272 I to live in this spider infested hellscape and i to feel this fear.
I sadly must disagree about the shoes thing i personally prefer steal capped boots.
7365272 7365287 isn't one of those wonderful Spiders down there supposed to have fangs long and sharp enough to puncture 1/4 inch leather and seriously poisonous? Can't remember the name but supposed to be decent sized, attacks anything unfortunately to cross it's path and does so like a rabid beast? Or was it 1/8 inch?
7365365 you're probs thinking of the tarantula, or maybe one of the bird eating spiders.
Yes, thats a thing.
7365365 >7365403 You're both thinking of the Sydney Funnel-web.
I'm lucky to live in South-East Queensland, where they can't.
Instead, we've got Red-Backs, White-Tails, Huntsmen and, because I live near a small area of bushland, Golden Orbs.
Thankfully, the largest one, Huntsmen, are relatively harmless, but they can still freak you the fuck out.
Especially when they start hopping.
That's not a joke, when startled the bastards will jump.
7365403 For the sake of being informed, there are more spiders on par with the Goliath Bird Eating spider? Which is native to the forests of South America? And they live in a country that is often depicted as being largely flat land with the occasional Mesa? Welp, another reason to not go to Australia added to the list.
Kill it! Kill it with fire!
7365468 I've had huntsman bigger than my hand on my face while I slept.
I couldn't sleep in my room, not because of the spider, but because of the amount of bug spray I used afterwards.

7365750 Been there, done that.
It's practically a rite of passage for Aussies with arachnophobia.
Which I don't actually have because I have no issue with scorpions, and other arachnids. Just spiders, and even then, not all of them.
There's these tiny brown spiders, I have no idea what they're actually called, but I call them 'money spiders', and they're adorable.
7365624 No, only two, and only one is dangerous to humans. Three if you count the Golden Orb, but That's only there because it's recognised as having webs made from the world's strongest silk and have been known to snare birds, but they wouldn't eat one.
If you ever worry about snakes, I only see maybe one or two every five years or so.
Dingos I've only seen in the zoo.
Crocodiles... they're mainly up the North end, but there is the odd sighting every few years around my area.
7365810 Koalas, kangaroos, and every other variety of spider that calls that place home. Then there is the weather versus the temperate climate I live in. Oh, and the "snow" that does show up at all is actually spider webs.
7365840 Koalas are temperamental, kangaroos are pests and most spiders will leave you alone if you don't go poking at them.
And where I am has never had snow. Only frost, which can LOOK like spider webs.
And there's five different stages to the weather and climate:
From late April to mid May it's usually quite nice, sitting around 20 Celsius.
Late May to late July, it's just cold, typically hitting its lowest at around zero Cel' for two days. in the early mornings. at the end of June.
Late June to early November it's windy and sits around 15.
mid November to early April is an unpredictable mix of dry heat and torrential rain.
7365468 What ever it's called, all I know is that non-proliferation agreements are a big mistake
There's no over-kill like Extermitus
7365872 I'm sorry, but the term 'overkill' does not exist in my vocabulary.
Would you kindly define it for me?
XD
7365869 Let me keep my generalizations, they prevent me from just up and leaving the States on a boat to anywhere else.
7365958 IF you come here, at least wait a few months until we can get a stable government.
We voted not too long ago, and it looks like a hung parliament, so we may have to vote AGAIN.
...
It's illegal not to vote.
7366079 Huh. So political holding pattern, plus everything else currently. Welp, if Trump gets elected, definitely going for some place in Europe, after studying the language of course.
7365872 The spider you were looking for was indeed the Sydney funnel web spider and they are fucking evil.
Also fun fact if you set the web at the top of their nest hole things on fire it gets snuffed out by the tunnel before it reaches the spider.
I just hear nova shouting "die" in my head anyone else
7366735 For me I'm pretty sure he's screaming "KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT" so yeah basically the same.
I feel you Nova, but an arachnophobe with immense godly powers is very bad news for both spiders and the entire city.
If I became a God my first act would be to transmogrify all arachnids into something entirely different that could fulfill their role, or, if faced with a giant one shortly after my ascension, I would will a nuke/continent-cleansing firestorm into existence or simply will every last one on the planet dead (maybe even retroactively annihilate them through all of time along with all memory of them?)
Using fire as a weapon in a city built into a tree... Hope that's not as bad as I think it is.
7365872 The word you are looking for is "exterminatus".
PS Overkill is underrated.
Goddammit, I really wanted to go to Australia one day. Now it's on the list,
List: Texas, Middle East, South America, Australia
Hey 7365750 next time when we see godly friend is piss off and is about 2 fight you should use a music called "Posthaste - Wrath of god"
just caught up with the story. I started reading today. finished today. now. I wait. The painful. Wait.
