It's just a huntsman spider. Extremely common and totally harmless to humans. They can run really fast though, and the way they move can look a bit freaky.

Still. That is the largest huntsman I have ever seen. And I grew up with plenty spider bros in my house
This isn't particularly unusual. Huntsmans are pretty friendly and quite a lot of people happily co-habit with them. I've known a couple of people who had friendly huntsmans in their cars for instance. I didn't like the time one of them dropped in my lap while we were driving though.
Dude I would not be alive to make a Lemmy comment if one of those things dropped into my lap mid-drive...but that's just me and my phobias lol.
No shit !
can you boil these and suck the meat out those crab legs?
Like fellating a kiwi
Fuck that...
I have a little jumping spider (about 1cm or so) in my house that I just leave around to do its thing, but that's the limit of my spider tolerance. Anything more than that, and I wouldn't be able to sleep anymore...
Fuck that shit
This is the strange thing about Australia. If I ever went there I wouldn't be at all concerned about meeting a black widow or those ones with the red stripe on their backs. In fact, if be interested. Respectful and careful, but interested.
If I meet one of these, however, if run screaming. And if I encountered that nest is have to burn the house down!
And yet the black widow is pretty dangerous and this is harmless.. I guess the size is enough, no need for any venom
Oh yeah - rationally I know I've got it backwards. It's definitely the size.
I'm assuming the video just loops as the spider comes into view because it dispatched of the entire family seconds later
