I'm still salty that I once lost a game of trivia because I said this myth was false, and the "official" answer said it was true.

Now you know why.
Darn Spiders Georg.
If it helps, I - a stranger - am absolutely livid on your behalf.
It does help, thank you.
Sorry, the card says moops
Was their source the moops?
Do you have a source that this claim is just a myth?
It was intended to be an example of a ridiculous "false fact" that went on to become widely believed.

Also, I can barely eat 6 spiders in one sitting.
Also, I can barely eat 6 spiders in one sitting.
6 orders of spiders, maybe.
We've all made the embarrassing mistake of ordering 6 orders of spiders, thinking it was 6 individual spiders, and succumbing to a ego belly encumbered with as many as 36 spiders for sake of seeming ignorant of how spider restaurants work. And since it's usually a mistake made on nascent visits in unfamiliar cultural territory, we're already acting inured to the strangeness of eating raw spiders, so it's often a double-whammy.
And the worst part is that they charge extra for any leftovers, so you can't leave even a single leg unmasticated.
Thanks for the link! Was an interesting read.
So you have a source that its true?
Plot twist: these are 6 legged bed bugs. The survivor was right, but now it has to live with the fact that its last words to its buddy were, "You're stupid."
Good. Bed bugs should suffer.
Simple. Ship them off to Mar a lago
The third panel has a very nice hand 👍
I didn’t believe you that it could be that good, but I wasn’t disappointed
"That's stupid, you're stupid."
I don't know why, but this line is so funny to me. 😄
True or not, this becomes moot when you sleep using a full face mask CPAP. It’s also nice, because it also protects against rank farts.
Unless there's a spider inside the mask.
I would know pretty fast if there were.
Afaik this is a myth someone put on the internet to see how misinformation spreads.
