This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Thanks, I hate it
I mean yeah it's a giant snake ball but the worst thing a garter can do to you is stink on you as a means of self defense ๐ They're tiny and goofy and among the few potential pet snakes that can be kept without being fed vertebrates.
Well garden spiders also don't pose any harm, but I don't fancy getting into a giant ball of them
That's fair enough
Why not?
They might realise the power of teamwork and together bind me in webs and communally devour me. Now they have a taste for human, are organised and each pregnant with 1500 spiderlings.
That's kinda hot.
I now realise my comment could be interpreted as some kind of spider-furry fanfic, but I assure you I will not be impregnating any spiders under any circumstances.
This hit my nope reflex hard and now I understand the dislike of nope ropes
Their saliva is mildly toxic so if you're unlucky enough to be allergic you could get an annoying rash from a bite.
Maybe 10k of them slobbering all of you might not be good then
They do bite. It doesn't really hurt but it's shocking when it happens.
I had one draw blood this spring! Granted, it was barely anything, but it still blew my mind it was capable of doing that.
Jeez how did it happen? Must have felt trapped or something
Picked it up like I usually do. This one was particularly feisty, striking at everything. Got me just right I guess.
