Here's a short video talking about the results of this experiment, and how each spider reacted to the different drugs.
"building webs is fo suckas"
I will never not watch that video.
"For more information on the crack spider's bitch, contact the Canadian Wildlife Service in Ottawa"
Very educational, thanks for sharing!
I know what video is without even opening, lol
I mean, I think they did great. If they did those tests on me it would just be four blank panels with a light coating of Dorito dust.
This says nothing about how the dosage was decided.
Yeah, welcome to pre-2000 science. Things were a bit more basic then.
Everyone must’ve got a lot smarter after 2000.
Yeah, our current scientific literature is known by the high quality and good methodology of the papers.
I’m sorry, my last knowledge update does not address this area. If you’re looking for specific medical advice, please consult a doctor.
Apparently microdosing LSD was the only thing that improved web quality.
I am LSD and I approved this message.
Would have been interesting to see what happened with alcohol, ecstacy, cocaine, heroin, etc. The last one might have just been a blank square though.
Caffeine is an insecticide.
Good thing spiders aren’t insects then, I guess?
So all the little bugs inside of me are dead?
RIP little guys.
Can be used as an insecticide.
It can be a poison to humans too - the poison is in the portion, after all.
Even in minute amounts. It's the whole reason plants started producing caffeine. But you have also run into the big flaw in this, what is the portion they are using?
