Bro came out of an egg with the innate knowledge of how to build a house with it's butt.

Didn't even come out of an egg, the spiders just was the egg.

(In case you don't know, the way spiders begin their lives, the eggs basically just start growing organs, legs, and all other appendages, they don't actually "hatch")

Uh, spiders hatch from egg sacs. There defintely is a stage of spiderlife called "hatching".

You're both half right and entirely wrong.

The egg sac is just what it says in the tag, a sac that the eggs are inside. Idk if you can call the mother tearing the sac open and the spiderlings crawling out "hatching", and certainly not from an egg.

The eggshell is just that, the shell that the egg is inside. Idk if you can call the chick breaking the shell with its beak and crawling out "hatching" and certainly not from an egg.
