    Imagine if spiders were big and human predators. Being launched at mach 100 as you were walking to your car is crazy

  Why’s the video only in slow motion? Tells us very little. First show full speed, then slow motion, then full speed again (you fucks).

  I didn’t get any sleep last night so it might just be my wonky brain but isn’t “at 140x the force of gravity” an incredibly weird way to say it?
