> Scaled up to human level, imagine a creature that trolls around luring you with visually-convincing mates only to eat you.

You mean like television ads showing scantily clad women to get you to spend all your income on <insert product here>? Looks like the spider learned from us.

If a spider is doing anything, there’s a safe bet that it’s been doing that thing for thousands or millions of years. Spiders are extremely successful and they’ve occupied countless niches as they’ve been around for 380 million years.

It was a joke. I don’t really believe (nor did I expect anyone to think that) spiders have been observing humans watching adverts on TV, following them around to understand the socio-economic ramifications of that, then hatching a plan to catch other insects based on observations.

Please don't upset the spergs. Just say. "Oh yeah, I didn't think of that". We need them to stay here to solve our SQL queries.
