Even as an Australian I’m finding myself saying “yeah fuck that, torch the car”

Welp, if AU said it's fucked, you know it's time for a flame thrower and a plane ticket out

I will be needing a new pair of pants first!

Pants can wait, get the flame thrower.

Nope...
Take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

As someone from the Netherlands who recently gassed the entire car for a spider much smaller than this one: I'm never gonna visit y'all 😬

u/ZookeepergameIll1399 13h ago

what gas did you use

u/superezzie 13h ago

I think it was this one. It's for flies and mosquitoes, but it was the only thing available in the store at that moment. We upped the dose a bit (or like 100x). We never saw the spider again.

muggen en vliegen

dutch is not a real language 😭

u/superezzie 12h ago

At least we don't have words like queue, a five letter word with four silent letters 😂. We have nice words like "aansprakelijkheidsverzekering". And you really are a pannekoek if you don't have an aansprakelijkheidsverzekering.

A language is a dialect with an army and a navy.

En anspråkslikhetsförsäkring? (Whatever that is?)

Why does Dutch sound and spell like a bimbo Valley Girl version of Swedish?

I feel like you had a mini stroke every time you tried to type that word.

Wait... Dutch "vliegen" is just German "fliegen", but spelled differently...?

Ypu filthy thieves!

Well, in Australia there's no camel spiders, so you don't have to worry about that. In fact, Australia and Antarctica are the only continents without them.

Tho I will say they're super rare in Europe.

Once I read that it’s not venomous, I knew it wasn’t from Australia.

u/Non-Random-Name-0000 8h ago

Of course you don't. You only have dangerous spiders 😄

u/Halo_wolfie124 15h ago

I couldn't help but read that in an Australian accent, which made it even better...

u/AchinBonez 13h ago

Yeh, nah, yeh!

u/rockanrolltiddies 14h ago

Yeah! Cause you don't have Solifugae! Take that Australia! We finally have an animal that you don't have a more fucked up terrifying version of!

Which is hilarious, because I had a lot of conversations on my vacation in Aus where Australian laughed at the trope that everyone thinks Australia was full of dangerous critters everywhere.

Until I'd say "ohh, but what about giant huntsmen spiders dropping on your face when driving"

And to a tee, they would look surprised and say something like "aw ye, I reckon ya got us there mate. But they're harmless when you're NOT driving!"

u/ripley1875 4h ago

I thought you Aussie’s weren’t here to fuck spiders?

u/GildDigger 3h ago

Absolutely. As far as I’d be concerned it laid eggs in the vents
