This pic makes me sad. Lil bro tried so hard and got so far...

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 179 points 1 week ago (3 children)

But in the end, it didn't even matter.

[–] artifex@lemmy.zip 56 points 1 week ago

Goddamnit. I was sad and still laughed.

He had to fall to lose it all. :(

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 89 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Little guy would of made it if he had just shot his web straight up and attached himself to the sun.

Pizza song starts playing

[–] SwiggitySwole@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

Is he stupid?

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 66 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I feel bad for the spider, but I have admit the web in the glass is really cool looking, like a piece of art. I’d probably preserve that if I could (minus the spider corpse)

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 124 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The spider corpse is an important piece of the art! It adds a memento mori aspect to what is otherwise just a cool place a web was spun.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's also the author of it, so it would definitely belong

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 24 points 1 week ago

More art galleries need to stuff and display the artists corpse alongside their work.

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The spider gives context and removing it would diminish everything

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah that could be a horse web for all we know.

I hate spiders and even I feel bad abt this shit. It’s just a cruel scenario

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My stepdad worked hard all his life. He managed to buy his own plane and fly it all around. To some flying up in a plane might seem somewhat insignificant, but most people never get to fly at all.

We've only got so much time to get a plane.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can get kit planes. I heard the Dyke Delta is the holygrail.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dyke Delta

Nice try, but I ain't Googling that.

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 29 points 1 week ago

Last time this was posted, the some answers said it's actually likely a nest (funnel web spider or something?) and the "dead spider" shed skin.

So the metaphor for capitalism is... The Rich carry on eating the produce of the Poor, while the socialists look on and think the system is dying? Haha! Checkmate Poors!

[–] match@pawb.social 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have an idea for a new type of horrible animal byproduct farm

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 17 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Pretty sure what we already do to collect spider silk on an industrial scale is worse than this.

Do we collect spider silk on an industrial scale?

I remember seeing something about genetically modifying goats such that they would produce the proteins in spider silk in their milk, so the milk could be processed and then silk could be mechanically spun. This is a half-remembered TV documentary from years and years ago, so.

TBH spider wasted fuckton of silk on unnecessary web. It died because it wasn't smart enough

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 week ago (7 children)

So yeah, a metaphor for capitalism.

look at you, feeling superior because you think you can outsmart a spider.

next time you fall into a well i expect you to shit silk in an efficient way to escape

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Y’all know that spiders can climb right?

And that spiders often make webs that look like this? Famously, funnel spiders?

Sine wave formation might have been more efficient and hence resulted in survival, but I'm uncertain as to whether the web structure and anchor points would have allowed for it.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What in the middle management is this? Gonna tell a spider how to spin their web... ppfffttt lol

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, which one of us died mismanaging their web placement?
