The problem with that is they say it's almost the same reason we have cats.

The reason we have cats is that they would eat the animals that ate grain, not to protect babies.

Well yes, the bits of text under the spider is highly innacurate in that regard, but the mutually beneficial relationship between the frog and the spider is the interesting bit, not flawed analogies made by random people.


It's not dissimilar to the relationships various ants have formed with animals, plants and fungi, which I've always found a fascinating thing to think about, because how do they form in the first place? Same with honey badgers and honeyguides, crocodiles and the birds that clean their teeth, all kinds of reef fish. How do these interactions form?

Tarantulas in particular are not the sort of creature I'd expect to form such relations. They're asocial, territorial, have no natural cooperative behaviors and are instinctive predators. How they got to the point that multiple species of small frogs were able to coexist with multiple species of tarantula like this intrigues me.

Likely because Tarantulas that didn't eat those frogs were much more competitive than ones that did.

Eh, I can see it. "we keep you around to keep pests out of our stored precious goods." Whether that be eggs or grain, it doesn't *really* matter.

I mean, grain turns into babies in the long run, after all.

Crunchyroll just showed me several ads for Overwatch in a row.

Why.

I suppose I built up a tolerance, heh.  Though don't eat 4 at first, obviously.  One, and it's the best by far.  Then two, then three, then see where it goes.

Now gummi bears- even sugarless knockoffs- those will ruin your shit ;)

Not even, especially. Sugar-free gummy bears will give you a thrust/weight ratio of like 54.7, propelling you through the lavatory ceiling and roof and into your neighbor's petunias, simultaneously devastating your house through the sheer force of the liquid excrement escaping your body. I have heard it's one hell of an experience.

E: accidentally reminded myself that Buzzfeed exists. This is unfortunate.

To clarify, I was saying the above, without actually saying it.
Thank you, Avis-Mergulus o7

Really, *ANY* sugarless candy containing large amounts of Maltitol will do this.  This has led me to the notion that one can brutally destroy an office with the following culinary delight, but I have so far not been brave enough to test it.

1) Procure some tasty Fiber One bars. These are surprisingly tasty, but DEADLY. The one time I foolishly ate one, I had deep colon gas production that could sustain 15 second farts, in rapid succession. It was unpleasant. VERY unpleasant.  They are however, quite tasty. Like a Granola bar.

2) Procure some sugar free soft caramels. Yes, they do indeed exist.

3) Procure some sugar free marshmallow creme. This looks especially horrible. Ingredients prominently list Innulin, a chickory root fiber-- the very stuff found in the fiber one bar. I don't think I need to explain further.

4) Procure some sugar free chocolate.

5) Procure some Olestra. (Hard to find these days, but used to be sold under the Olean brand name.) It is Infamous in its side effects.

Crunch up the fiber one bars, and pretend you are making rice crispy treats, only using Olestra instead of butter (optional, add some artificial butter flavor, but use sparingly.), and using the sugar free marshmallow cream. Once all baked up, drizzle the confection squares with the sugar free caramel and chocolate.

TELL NO ONE what they are made from. Place them inconspicuously on a festive paper platter, in a well traveled area. Place a dish of sugar free gummybears in close proximity.

Bonus points if you do this about 20 minutes before the scheduled team meetings.

This is why Lex Luthor stole forty cakes.
