Golden Garden spiders are the best. They never ever bite, and their webs are gorgeous. I admit they look spectacular and pretty scary to an arachnophobe.
On the off-chance you DO manage to stimulate one to bite you, their venom is completely innocuous. It's designed to kill sketchy flying bugs, not vertebrates, and has almost zero affect on us. Compare to a wolf spider which does sometimes eat small vertebrates - their bites can hurt. (I'm not saying a wolf spider bite is dangerous. Just that it hurts, while a garden spider's doesn't.)
If you scare a Golden Garden spider, its defense is to immediately drop out of the web, straight down. So they're actually pretty easy to capture. Just hold an open mason jar underneath.
Their best feature? They EAT their whole web each morning (at least the sticky parts - not the guide lines). They do this not only to recycle the silk, but because all night long little bugs - like mosquitoes - get stuck on the web, but the spider doesn't notice them. But it eats them anyway each dawn, which means they filter out a LOT of mosquitoes and little bugs.
Also it's super-entertaining to watch an orb spider make its web in the morning if you have time.

Great. Now I gotta take the Phial of Galadriel with me when I go downstairs.

Everyone’s missing the real story here.
Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses need human data annotators to train the AI. When you say “Hey Meta” and ask the glasses to analyze something, that video gets sent to Meta’s servers, then routed to Sama, a subcontractor in Nairobi, Kenya. Workers there manually label objects in your footage. They see everything you recorded, intentionally or not.
7 million pairs sold in 2025 alone. Every single pair generates training data that flows through human eyes in Kenya. Workers told Swedish journalists they see people undressing, using bathrooms, having sex, and accidentally filming bank card details. One worker said “we see everything, from living rooms to naked bodies.”
Meta’s automatic face anonymization is supposed to protect people in the footage. Workers say it fails in certain lighting. Faces that should be blurred are sometimes fully visible. The person you recorded without knowing? A stranger in Nairobi can identify them.
Buried in Meta’s terms of service is one sentence doing enormous legal work: the company reserves the right to conduct “manual (human) review” of your AI interactions. That’s the legal cover for routing intimate footage from Western homes to a $2/hour labor force operating under NDAs, office surveillance cameras, and a strict no-questions policy. Workers say if you raise concerns about what you’re seeing, you’re fired.
This is the same company, Sama, that TIME exposed in 2023 for paying Kenyan workers $2/hour to label graphic content for OpenAI while being billed at $12.50/hour per worker. Workers described the experience as torture. Sama ended that contract, then pivoted to labeling Meta’s glasses footage. Same workforce. Same rates.
Meta markets these glasses as “designed with your privacy in mind.” The privacy design is a tiny LED light on the frame that most people don’t notice. The data pipeline behind it routes your bedroom footage to a contractor with a documented history of worker exploitation, failed anonymization, and union-busting lawsuits.
And the next generation of these glasses? Meta is planning to add facial recognition. The same system that can’t reliably blur faces in training data wants to start identifying them on purpose.
The LED light on the frame is doing about as much for your privacy as the terms of service nobody reads.

why the fuck meta employees watching videos their users are taking
