As someone who has a shit ton of spider webs that I constantly walk through when I go outside, I approve. And would like to know where to get this thread.

Yes, too many times I’ve had this happen. I don’t spook easily, but baby spiders from a crushed mama spider has me looking and acting like the un-manliest of men.

While my comment uses somewhat of an antiquated (and potentially toxic) expectation of “manly” behavior, I was attempting to paint a humorous picture of what I would look like in that situation. FWIW, I was not making a condemnation of anyone for this type of behavior. If anything, I was poking fun at myself. 😊

Oh no no that was also my poor attempt of a funny way of saying I feel like that’s what anyone would do
