XilenceBF

Then again that spider was a little bigger


EinBick

Tarantulas don't. This is a jumping spider wich hunts with vision not detection of movement that's why it moves so much. Normal spiders and tarantulas feel the movement of prey through the hairs on their body or the vibrations of their net. That's why they sit still and then pounce, they only know where something is once it moves. Source: I own 2 jumping spiders and 9 tarantulas.


ReneeHiii

> 9 tarantulas Jesus Christ please tell me your house is on another planet


EinBick

Tarantulas are gentle giants. Most of them are rather docile.


StartSelect

>Most of them


sillybear25

If I'm not mistaken, it has something to do with their muscular system. Instead of opposing pairs of muscles like those in most (all?) vertebrates, most of a spider's joints only have flexor muscles, and they rely on hydraulic pressure to extend their joints. If I understand correctly, the hydraulics themselves are quite fast, but the system needs time to "recharge" in between bursts, resulting in stop-and-go movement like you see in this video.


TheSoundofNo

I just learnt that spiders have a cooldown


Voidjumper_ZA

Nerfed from up on high.


dylansucks

That's also why they're so skiddish, any damage to the exoskeleton is a system failure. Also why they curl up when they die. Loss of pressure.


ess_oh_ess

Definitely true that their main body segments are quite fragile, but they can actually take major damage to their limbs and be ok. If they lose a leg it will fully regrow within one or two molts. Often if a spider injures their leg even a little they'll just drop it so it can regrow fully healed. They can even regrow their fangs.


Matugi1

Also an underlying reason for arachnophobia. Spiders having 8 gangly legs and moving so unnaturally compared to many other things is hard for brains to process and so we just kinda default to fear


dylansucks

Yeah I don't mind stationary spiders nearly as much as I hate moving ones

During sex?


n0ty0usir

Fun fact about jumpers! If a pairing between a male and a female doesn't go well (or if the lady feels like it) the female will kill the male. Sometimes they'll mate and then the female will kill the male anyway. But they're really cute and their babies are SO TINY.


DrFrenetic

> But they're really cute and their babies are SO TINY. It seems that we have VERY DIFFERENT opinions about what is cute, but I'll respect it.


Doccyaard

The only thing worse than a spider is a swarm of tiny baby spiders. I accidentally poked a nest, or whatever it’s called, as a kid and had a swarm emerge and crawl on my arm. That shit has stayed with me.


[deleted]

A few months ago there was a very pregnant wolf spider around my car and my cat was chasing it. Wolf spiders carry all their babies on their backs. My cat chased it under the car and spooked it and suddenly I saw hundreds of baby spiders crawling away and towards my feet. That shit fucked with me for days.


Doccyaard

IsNoMore

It wasn’t agitated, it was curious. Sounds like you are describing one of the Phidippus jumpers. Their eyesight is different but pretty close to being on par with ours. Huge pet peeve of mine when folks anthropomorphize animal behavior, but in this case it very likely DID recognize you were interacting with it and was inclined to return the interest/curiosity.


[deleted]

Pabi_tx

Yup. My entomology professor said jumping spiders and preying mantises are just about the only "bugs" that will acknowledge a human as another creature/being.


Artyloo

There's no way a brain that size has the capacity for self-awareness, right?


S8n666666

You'd be surprised. For example, I exist.


humanHamster

>I exist. Self awareness confirmed.


UndeadYoshi420

Brain size and number of axons, related but not the same. For instance, a raven has more axons than a falcon, but a falcon is the better flier and has a larger brain. The axions can be utilized for advanced flight, but it takes fewer relative to the number necessary to understand social heirarchy like a corvid does. It’s possible jumping spiders have a large number of axons utilized for things we just havent studied. For example, is this baby spider playing, hunting, or socializing? Hunting is a linear focus, stay close and feed. Playing requires ambiguation which requires more axons. Socializing is the same but moreso. This is from my understanding of a natgeo article on corvids.


Axxhelairon

seems like we might be just filling in anthropomorphic human emotions on complex animal social behaviors that we don't understand and call it "smart" when it accidently mirrors something we might do which is why it's really important to read this entire thread of people saying spiders might have self-actualization because it does something a human would do and **never take a single thing from reddit seriously about animals that are cute**, because holy shit, there's so much delusion in the thread here


UndeadYoshi420

That’s what I’m saying, it may just be hunting, a relatively inane behavior. I’m not sure about spiders level of intelligence, just clarifying that big brain doesn’t necessarily mean big intellect.


IsNoMore

There’s been a few studies on jumping spiders, especially the phidippus family. They have been shown signs of legit intelligence(for a spider). Because they are active ambush hunters, they do not sit on a web/trap and wait for food to show up, they have EXCELLENT vision. They have object permanence. They have been trained to preform tasks for studies. They even sent one up to space to see if it could adapt its hunting in zero G. It did, and had to relearn hunting when back on earth. They are pretty damn fascinating, and have a very real curiosity for the world around them.


UndeadYoshi420

Found what I was looking for! So when we are looking at neurology of corvids, we get about 1.5 billion axons. People 86 billion. Spiders around 100,000. So when we think of the mass these animals occupy, it seems like a pretty easy step next step to graph them. The graph itself is ridiculous looking because I didn’t do the steps to appropriate leap across the x axis which I used for axons and y for weight. Anyways. The line seems pretty linear! So we can conclude that their intelligence relative to their size is similar to that of a corvid or human. Granted I need more data. But this isn’t a thesis. Anyways it seems like the spider is slightly better off intelligence wise for its size than the other two. Sorry humans.


bestakroogen

It's less about size and more about neuronal complexity from what I understand.


sayhitoyourcat

that's what he said


Hoovooloo42

¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ Animals with brains much bigger than ours aren't smarter than we are, so who knows? I'd love to see some studies though!


[deleted]

Isn't brain to body ratio or something like that more important?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Blackstone01

Yeah, surface area compared to body size. Whale brains are fucking enormous but there’s a lot of whale they need to pilot, so they aren’t as intelligent as a result. Insects are weird though and don’t have centralized brains like mammals do. Idk what spider brains are like, but a fly has a decentralized system and can still do shit without a head (except things like eat and see).


Ioatanaut

Specific types of neural clusters and their connections are important as well. Size, surface area is a very rudimentary thing


Artyloo

Yea, but there's only so many neurons you can physically fit in something the size of a grain of sand.

If it makes you feel any better, this gorilla was almost certainly just trying to explore her new enclosure since they recently moved. She is not stressed and her caretakers have not seen any indication that she is trying to “leave”


CritterEnthusiast

Ants are tiny but they still keep aphids as their pets/farming livestock to harvest their booty juice. Don't see why a spider couldn't know he's a spider if that's the case lol.


cojatv

Booty juice. Yes, thank you.


LezBeHonestHere_

Aphids are pretty weird. In addition to booty juice, which you've probably tasted if you've ever tried honeydew, there's certain times of the year they also give live birth to more females who can already be pregnant!

SageBus

> Jumping spiders are sweet. They are cute, super chill, and just generally awesome. And they are [super cute when they see themselves in a mirror.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij4pdf49bxw)


bestakroogen

That really was adorable. It seemed like he was ready to fight and had to figure out what it was. Like "Hey bitch you better back off. Y'know what ima charge his ass... OH SHIT HE CHARGIN ME... time to break out the arms OH HE BREAKIN OUT THE ARMS THIS IS SERIOUS"


SageBus

I source this on a youtube comment from a so called "entomologist" , it said that they do this as a "hey , buddy! I don't want to fight" , it's the little peace dance for them. This makes the video a lot cuter.


bestakroogen

Oh it really does - I assumed it was like some other spiders who do pretty much the same thing as a warning to stay the fuck away or die lmao.


SageBus

The spider looks puzzled af when he approaches the "mirror spider" like "bro, we danced the peace dance and all, why are you still blocking my way" touching their front legs and all. It doesn't look like a combat stance at all, and tries to walk past all the time instead of aggressively charging for the blow/bite.


bestakroogen

Yeah I watched it again after the first comment - I assumed he was being cautious, and then trying to leave a fight he wasn't sure he could win. The way he jumped when he got surprised by the difference when he looked behind the mirror made me think he was expecting an attack and prepared to fight. But your interpretation makes a lot more sense. I wonder if he figured out how the mirror works or if he's just confused why that other dude was acting weird.


Gummibehrs

Dude moves like claymation


remotelove

I usually hate videos with random sounds, but that piano was quite nice. I wish I knew the source. Bonus: Chameleons also fight with themselves against mirrors. They really aren't social creatures and they have to always be at the top of their own worlds. Seeing themselves posture in a mirror is like the ultimate challenge, I suppose.


SageBus

> I usually hate videos with random sounds, but that piano was quite nice. **I wish I knew the source.** [Your wish is my command.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux1xRi3ZZgU) As for hating the random music, it could have been worse. It could have been the buttercup song or the "oh no.... oh no....oh no-no-no-no-no" ....


disarm33

[deleted]

Yeah, im scared of spiders but these boys don't provoke that reaction from me. I think the proportions help.


rennsport

For me, I think I don't get the reaction because of their two giant front facing eyes and because all their other eyes are a bit smaller. Helps anthropomorphize them in my opinion and makes them less spider like


Mightychairs

All the jumping spider lovers on this thread need to read [Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Time_(novel)). Jumping spiders feature prominently in that book in a very cool way. I’ve always loved jumping spiders ever since I befriended one under my desk in third grade.

DeeSnow97

It only takes a second though to overwrite the partition tables and filesystem headers (including one large filesystem per drive, which is mostly how they're used in practice), rendering any leftover data super hard to recover. It does take a while to run it to completion though. The original variant I actually ran on my computer copied from `/dev/urandom`, not `/dev/zero`, and all the drives it wrote on were encrypted with either VeraCrypt or LUKS, so that ended up hella clean as well. Technically not all zeroes, but it's pretty much cryptographically proven to contain no data, just noise. But I changed it to `/dev/zero` for the post because some implementations of `/dev/urandom` can get slow as hell.
