be easier to keep one out your house like

Goliath bird eating spider is pretty big

there was a time actually during the carboniferous period when there were giant insects

Then again there was a golden orb spider in Queensland Australia that pulled a green snake up into its web and started fucking eating it. We have spiders that eat snakes

How else do you explain eurovision

Checkmate

Spiders take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide like us, but they use tracheal tubes and "book lungs" that depend on diffusion through small openings which is much slower than our breathing system. And their blood is copper-based which isn't as efficient as our iron-based hemoglobin. So unless they did a complete overhaul of their respiratory system, a giant spider wouldn't be able to get enough oxygen to move around.

Well I know when I’ve been bested

they just cant breathe efficiently to be big

That would take a few thousand years and there is no pressure for them to be bigger

if the atmosphere was more oxygenated it would work

but they have never been huge because of this

Pressure as in evolutionary pressure

Copper based blood pogchamp

@YeetshirtNinja wasn’t there more oxygen in the atmosphere ages ago?

Yea but if spiders were as big as say, dogs. How the fuck would we deal with them 😭
