This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I love jumping spiders, they always look like they're processing how friendly I am before they finally crawl onto my hand

This one isn't a spider, but I found it looking for more jumping spider pictures:

Yeah! When I was a kid I played this game called Exile 3: Ruined World and it had a place called the cave of friendly spiders. You talked to them and they’d say things like “Hi! You’re cute!” It always stuck out to me how friendly they were.

Now I realize that jumping spiders literally are those friendly spiders from the game!

Cute salamander by the way! Where I live they’re extremely rare. Only seen a couple of them in my life.
