Spiders

Here's some trivia:


Spider silk is one of the strongest substances found in nature. A 3mm vest made of spider silk could stop a bullet.

So why don't we use it instead of silk worms?

Spiders are almost impossible to domesticate. Put hundreds of thousands of spiders together and they will destroy each other. Silk worms don't do that. Thus we are stuck with their vastly inferior product.

 

I like spidermen 

 

I used to love that Chan that will remain nameless when these filled every thread of every board! lol

 

Yes spiders horrible things

 

I don't have a problem with spiders. But if a wasp goes anywhere near me I run a mile

 

I was camping in Nc tripping on mushrooms and kicked back by the fire with my head on a rock.. My buddies talking to me when his face turns into a grimace and he looks super freaked out and comes rushing towards me..I thought I was on fire or something but turns out was a big ass spider by my head.. Freaked me the hell out.

 

Black widows in towns are street spiders, that's why you have too be so careful, in fact they so street they is pavement. Not like the county bumpkin spiders, all they know is sheep and cows

 

Ill shoot a spider in the face. No joke.

 

with his imaginary gun

 

Its being worked on

Apparently, you don’t need Kevlar to stop bullets. Human skin combined with spider silk-infused goat milk can do the job just as well. Dutch scientists recently brought this combination to life, pushing the limits of science. The project is called “2.6 g 329m/s” which is the standard weight and velocity that a Type 1 bulletproof vest can protect against.

Spider silk might not seem like much, but it’s the toughest of all the silks in existence. Its many times stronger than steel, and it’s the toughest natural protein fiber. With that much strength, spider silk is capable of a great many things. And when woven together, it could even stop bullets.

Jalilia Essaidi thought that perhaps there could be one less layer between the person and the spider silk. Why not combine spider silk with human skin? (It isn’t that simple, and the experiment did not include a person.) Theoretically, though, the spider silk protein could take the place of keratin which is responsible for the toughness of human skin.

Rather, genetically enhanced goats were infused with spider silk at the genetic level. The goats then produced milk that carried the spider silk protein which was then spun into a matrix laced with human skin cells.

The human-spider matrix contained various types of cells that typically make up the dermis and epidermis. Once fully combined, a 22-caliber Long Rifle bullet was fired at the matrix at a slightly reduced speed. The matrix succeeded in stopping a bullet at the reduced speed, but not one at full speed.

Despite this, Jalila & co. still consider the experiment a success. Further research and experimentation will yield better and stronger results. Maybe there will come a day when soldiers don’t need armor.

 

keep trolling, u might reach 100 posts someday.

 

would of been funny if u put a spider gif at the end

 

Do I have a fear of spiders? Well it all depends i guess...

One night I was laying in bed, just casually browsing my phone while laying down on my side, well all of a sudden a spider comes down a web in between the light of my phone and my face, just about an inch away, in this moment was I scared of spiders, sure, I slept on the couch that night.. Sad night spider kicked me out of bed.

However, if I see a spider on the ground or the wall, etc.... Well, it's going to die, someway, j just have no fear of them that way.

Oh and someone go hire my allies, thanks!

 

I love spiders. My first instinct when I see a spider is to pick it up

 

not a faker like u. Don't care for forum stats 

 

spiders are cute little, misunderstood creatures 
