This is basically the plot of IT.

It's a guilty pleasure that I love The Matter of Disguise.

Fascinating is not the word I would use to describe that

But the spiders is Australia are worse right? Thats how I justify sleeping at night. Tell me its true.

[–] JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

Why limit it to the US? Dolomedes is international.

Also yes I will sleep tight, knowing these adorable and accomplished spiders are out there living their best lives.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 16 hours ago

there's the slight alleviating factor of most people not living in lakes

[–] remon@ani.social 32 points 1 day ago

Not entirely accurate, there are some save zones in North- an West Alaska.

Red is land, white represents where the spiders are.

[–] Pyro@programming.dev 14 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

We've lost Canada and Mexico to the spiders already...

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

This comment is full of spiders. Using darkmode just hides them in the dark

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

But how do they fish on land?

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Don't read so well, do ya?

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

Who said that? Who's talking?

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago

Obviously this blue part here is the land...

That would be very disheartening if I lived in America

[–] JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

They are in many countries. But they are not scary.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

these days it doesn't even make the top 10 list of disturbing things for people living in America

I know your age range just from the master of disguise reference

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Saw that shit in theatres. As well as Baby Geniuses 2 and Meet the Spartans.

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

You're my exact age 31. And 32 in a few months

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 93 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Poor turtle :( he's just a little fella

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 84 points 1 day ago (4 children)

How strong is that spider that it can lift a turtle? Will one nuke be enough?

"Laughs in australian"

[–] GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Let's see how strong they are under a blanket of napalm.

That's gotta be in Australia...

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nope, southern US. Found in a local group.

[–] JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Great find! There are various members of Dolomedes in other countries. Some specialise in rivers, other lakes.

[–] remon@ani.social 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nope, that's a north American species.
