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.
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 ðŸ˜
not nearly enough to support a human sized one
No
There was more co2
You’d need a big fucking show
Shoe*
Bloody auto correct
Fucking love spiders
@Auto-Elf fried or baked?
Well we had fucking huge dinosaurs, there must have been like 1 point when they were viable
@shitzngigz Fried, hate the watery baking
also since they molt they would be a good target for eating so they would never have time to get that big
there used to be like huge like multiple meter long centipedes n shit
