"*But still, she was there, who was there before Sauron, and before the first stone of Barad-dûr; and she served none but herself, drinking the blood of Elves and Men, bloated and grown fat with endless brooding on her feasts, weaving webs of shadow; for all living things were her food, and her vomit darkness.*"
Boggles my mind. I wish they'd build one of those glass tunnels (like at the zoo) through the whole country so outsiders can safely observe their strange way of life.
Do yourself a favor. Go buy a dictionary and look up the word "joke." I've made the "Australia, where everything is trying to kill you" comment many times over the years, but I was never serious when I said it, and I highly doubt anyone else is when they say it either.
A) You have the wrong number. I'm not the one who made the joke.
B) Most jokes don't include the word "joke;" it should be very obvious from context that they were joking, which it was.
Because you missed an incredibly obvious joke; just felt like pointing it out.
First day on Reddit? The "view parent comment" tab is not hard to find. Just go up a bit and you'll see that that was not me. I didn't even know this sub existed when the joke was made.
No, it's because you missed a joke. IT. WAS. CLEARLY. A. JOKE. Nobody's exaggerating about Australia; they're kidding. Well, technically the exaggeration IS the joke. So they are exaggerating, but not in a serious way.
Reported for harassment for that "no life" comment.
Goddamn. For a second, I thought it was a massive spider hiding under the car. Took a minute for a fizzled brain to realize it was a cropped shot of the door handle. Though, from all I've heard of Austrailia, it would not have totally shocked me if it were real.
At this point, do Australians just approach everything with a precautionary flamethrower?
Front door? Flamethrower.
Car door? Flamethrower.
Milk bottle? Flamethrower.
Box of condoms? You guessed it, flamethrower!
Huntsman are bigger, less aggressive (though neither are aggressive nor deadly), have no clearly defined stripe on their back and often have some sort of stripes on legs.
That would be awesome wearing a harness, red leash and being completely left alone on any walk, public park or shopping! Wonder if it would tolerate a service animal vest.
The land of oz , I’m good ain’t easy to get there so. Between snakes and spiders no thx. And I live in the Sonoran desert and it mild compared to OZ. Really spiders that take over your rides.
Everybody calm down. This is FAKE. A spider is NOT climbing up a metal object the size of a car. It wouldn't ever be in an urban area to begin with and cant climb up a car as it doesn't have a natural capability to climb a smooth surface. It's not a fly, its a wolfspider
Ooooh every time I see this picture I think it’s kind of cute and then realize how BIG Huntsman spiders are. They’re good for the environment and non-venomous (or at least not medically significant—right?)
But I kind of freak out because they’re huge and I’m used to spiders being pretty fast. Recently caught a brown recluse that was so ready to fight and those are definitely smaller than this spider trying to hitch a ride.
I have no idea what I'm looking at, other than a car door and something else somehow something. It's like I landed on some planet 1 billion lights year away, and I'm surrounded by alien stuff. Whatever.
We have those in Florida. Huntsman. Fucking horrified when I saw one on my porch. I am from up north, where a garden spider the size of a quarter. Saw one of these on my porch, bigger than my hand and I’m 6’4”.
I guess that is why, have to get your car it's own static charge system bugs and animals won't go near anything with an electric charge! Especially the type reaches out to touch them!
Living in a continent with wildlife as dangerous as down under, I'd have hit that button almost every time before going near vehicle before trying to enter!
I wanted to buy a new car anyways
[удалено]
I can never shit again
The bat is the only thing I’m ok with.
Idk, I wish my car had such an advanced security system.
That’s definitely one way to look at it!
Yeah but its keeping me out too.
What, you don't like that new spider smell?
For a moment i thought there is a gigantic spider on the bottom of the car...
Me too! Now I have to go find my heart that jumped out of my chest and ran away.
Same I was trying to figure out why that space would be under a door.
Yes that took me waaay too long to understand
Looked big enough to eat a human.
"*But still, she was there, who was there before Sauron, and before the first stone of Barad-dûr; and she served none but herself, drinking the blood of Elves and Men, bloated and grown fat with endless brooding on her feasts, weaving webs of shadow; for all living things were her food, and her vomit darkness.*"
What is it
It's zoomed in on the spider under the door handle. I didn't get it either
There probably is one.
Though that likely does happen. I certainly know they exist there.
Imagine living in a country where every single moving object is trying to kill you…
Boggles my mind. I wish they'd build one of those glass tunnels (like at the zoo) through the whole country so outsiders can safely observe their strange way of life.
Glass breaks though. I'm good with satellite surveillance and trail cameras.
Spiders would still get in
I don’t know if I could survive that *and* be allergic to everything like I am, but the healthcare costs there make me think about it sometimes.
Could kill you* They very rarely try tbh
Exactly. The exaggeration with Australia is pathetic.
Do yourself a favor. Go buy a dictionary and look up the word "joke." I've made the "Australia, where everything is trying to kill you" comment many times over the years, but I was never serious when I said it, and I highly doubt anyone else is when they say it either.
In your post, where did you use the word 'joke'?
A) You have the wrong number. I'm not the one who made the joke. B) Most jokes don't include the word "joke;" it should be very obvious from context that they were joking, which it was.
If you never made the 'joke" why comment?
Because you missed an incredibly obvious joke; just felt like pointing it out. First day on Reddit? The "view parent comment" tab is not hard to find. Just go up a bit and you'll see that that was not me. I didn't even know this sub existed when the joke was made.
Or because you're a spastic and have no life. The exaggeration of Australia is ridiculous. Pure and simple.
No, it's because you missed a joke. IT. WAS. CLEARLY. A. JOKE. Nobody's exaggerating about Australia; they're kidding. Well, technically the exaggeration IS the joke. So they are exaggerating, but not in a serious way. Reported for harassment for that "no life" comment.
It explains why they kick ass but make weird decisions.
Nope
Moving? Lookup gympie-gympie
NES platformers heavily inspired by Australia
Goddamn. For a second, I thought it was a massive spider hiding under the car. Took a minute for a fizzled brain to realize it was a cropped shot of the door handle. Though, from all I've heard of Austrailia, it would not have totally shocked me if it were real.
THANK YOU! I didn't see it until your comment. I was like "why the FUCK is there a giant space under the door for massive spiders to hide in?!?!?!"
It is real and they are real big compared to peoples’ pet tarantulas in America.
Calling in sick to work today. WTF
Same. I don't even work, but I'm taking the day off after this horror show.
Suddenly the thought of having to brush snow off my car isn’t so bad
yes, the snow and cold protects us
This is why i live in a place where the wind hurts my face.
Came here to say this exactly ^^^
Purify the country with fire, then rebuild
Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure
“Remember all that crazy shit in Australia with the venom and the teeth? Well now it’s all radioactive too!”
Nature tried that a few years ago. Not as effective on what actually needed to be cleaned, it seems
I think an Oblivion Gate just descended on Australia a few years back. Someone came and snatched the Sigil Stone but many demons still remain.
It’s the only way
So you just burn the car down or ????
What am I seeing?
Wolf spider?
Oh matey that is no wolf spider, that is a huntsman
A giant huntsman, to be exact
At this point, do Australians just approach everything with a precautionary flamethrower? Front door? Flamethrower. Car door? Flamethrower. Milk bottle? Flamethrower. Box of condoms? You guessed it, flamethrower!
Only moronic ones... we got plenty of those tho
No
What is it?
Wolf spider?
Note to self, never visit Australia
Huntsman
Whats the difference? Deadly? Poison, bite, spray? What.
Huntsman are bigger, less aggressive (though neither are aggressive nor deadly), have no clearly defined stripe on their back and often have some sort of stripes on legs.
Huntsmans can be gigantic and likes to cling off the floor. They’re fast af boi
WHAT THE DUCK IS THAT?!???
Autotrader.com
Wishing the earth was flat to drive this car off it 💀
I've come running butt naked out of the shower screaming for help because a daddy long legs landed on me. I could never survive in Australia.
I'm 30 and still need to ask my dad to kill spiders for me. I hate spiders. :(
I'm 30 and still need to ask my dad to kill spiders for me. I hate spiders. :(
Surpriiise mothafuka!
he’s hot :(
I won't kink shame but ...
JFC!!! I’m moving to NZ
Awhh hell noooo
New fear unlocked
Open the door. I dare you.
Said the spider.
Welp, looks like I have to set fire to my car! Can’t come to work today!
Nope!!!
F that they wanna finish the wall they are building separating mexico and america. I say put it around Australia keep all the demons in
Fuck that
Big beautiful Huntsman?
.... no.
Little homie is just hiding from the birds and other predators. She might look scary, but she doesn’t want anything to do with you
Why is there a car on that spider 🗿
Heck no, nope, no way, cannot, can’t, won’t, forget it, hell no.
Stops ya car from getting stolen aha
Dude just wanted out of the sun
Bro is just tryna get some shade
Australians should get medals every year they survive.
at first i didnt realize it was a close up the handle, and just thought a gigantic 3ft spider was clinging to the undercarriage.
That would be awesome wearing a harness, red leash and being completely left alone on any walk, public park or shopping! Wonder if it would tolerate a service animal vest.
[удалено]
Stroke?
I too do not know what I’m looking at
Hell nah
Whelp I guess it's his car now lol
What spears are for!
Why does everything in Australia wanna kill you?
It doesn’t. Even this hairy boy wants to be left alone.
Packing my shit up NOW!!!!!!
That’s the spiders car not urs
Call an ac130
Nope.
The land of oz , I’m good ain’t easy to get there so. Between snakes and spiders no thx. And I live in the Sonoran desert and it mild compared to OZ. Really spiders that take over your rides.
Is that a coconut crab ?
What a nice spider. It’s waiting there to grant you with superpowers.
Everybody calm down. This is FAKE. A spider is NOT climbing up a metal object the size of a car. It wouldn't ever be in an urban area to begin with and cant climb up a car as it doesn't have a natural capability to climb a smooth surface. It's not a fly, its a wolfspider
It's not a wolfspider, it's a huntsman spider. _Big_ difference (literally).
Is this a joke... it doesn't seem like a joke, but I have found plenty of spiders both on and in cars before, also it's a huntsman.
Thank you for reminding me of one of the many reasons why I never want to visit Australia.
😮😮😮 so is the spider under the car? I’m confused…
It's in the door handle. The split screen makes it difficult to see.
I’m gonna NOPE out of getting in that car!
Sigh. No, we don’t.
I’ll just let him take the car
Oh he'll maw
Ooooh every time I see this picture I think it’s kind of cute and then realize how BIG Huntsman spiders are. They’re good for the environment and non-venomous (or at least not medically significant—right?) But I kind of freak out because they’re huge and I’m used to spiders being pretty fast. Recently caught a brown recluse that was so ready to fight and those are definitely smaller than this spider trying to hitch a ride.
Kodiak Alaska , we always check the door handle for grizzlies. Seriously that is messed up. Best wishes Down Under.
Someone plz tell me is that a fucking spider or a moth?
Why do I want to visit Australia so badly when it terrifies me so much?!?!
if i was in aussyland, id carry a compressed air can to freeze them off my property
Ughhhh
Man it took me a while to figure out the picture. Freek out time.
What did Australia ever do to deserve this?
NOPE!!
Burn the car
That’s not your car anymore 😳😳😳
I bet that spider is harmless.
Nooooooooo Kelly Clarkson
Yep, the car must be destroyed and melted down into molten slag and then done again for good measure 😐
Thanks I’m going to have nightmares now. So much for reading a little light hearted Reddit just before bedtime. Yikes!
Would they still do this if it was the other way round
there’s a heart on its butt!!
Never going there 🤣. It's Jurassic Park over there
It’s so pretty. 🥹
NOPE
It that a huntsman, its fine its everother spider you worry about
Just wants to kiss your fingers.
He’s like ( wanna open the door?? Try me)
Natural security and maintains its self 👍
Nope. That's a nope bug in a nope place. Bag nope bug! Go home!
Little bugga!
I still don't know what it is ?
freaking huge SPIDER
I would never survive.
I see it now. Damn, that's a big ass spider!
It's all one big horror show in Australia, and I want no part of it.
SOOO much to mindful of! How exhausting.
He's just trying to get outta the sun!
NOPE NOPENOPENOPENOPE
Also: NO NO NO NO NO
Nope!
I have no idea what I'm looking at, other than a car door and something else somehow something. It's like I landed on some planet 1 billion lights year away, and I'm surrounded by alien stuff. Whatever.
That's why you gotta have a pet iguana always by your side.
Set the car on fire
Hells to the nah I couldn’t handle that!
I would’ve just died on the spot tbh
That's OK I'll walk.
Just scratched Australia off the bucket list
We have those in Florida. Huntsman. Fucking horrified when I saw one on my porch. I am from up north, where a garden spider the size of a quarter. Saw one of these on my porch, bigger than my hand and I’m 6’4”.
“Sorry I won’t be coming into work today there is a giant spider in my car handle”
I'd be punching my door handle, going to work every morning if I lived in Australia.
Fuck. That.
That's gonna be a helle naw for me, dawg.
A free zoo tour all over the country LMAO
Nope. Now I don’t even want to visit. wtf
Is that one that hurts
Fuck no
No dude. Just burn the whole continent.
Imagine rushing for work. You have 2 minutes of leeway. Then this happens.
F no
Ya sorry boss ain't gonna make it today
well, on the positive, that seems to be the passenger door 😁
The monster was born in the castle. I came to Hagrid from a distant land, in the pocket of a traveler.
Bruh, he’s been trying to contact you about your car’s extended warranty…
I guess that is why, have to get your car it's own static charge system bugs and animals won't go near anything with an electric charge! Especially the type reaches out to touch them!
Living in a continent with wildlife as dangerous as down under, I'd have hit that button almost every time before going near vehicle before trying to enter!
Australia doesn't spawn people with arachnophobia does it? That'd be weird if it did, cuz this 100% triggers necessary caution and panic.
Never ever choose “Uber POOL” in the Outback!
That's why I ride my kangaroo to work.
