If you're not a soldier you can still be unwillingly involved in a war. That is arguably the problematic thing about a war. If it only affected those that take part deliberately, a nation could just resolve a war by dissolving its own army. (Ask the Ukrainians.)

They got the photo of the redback right, but the other spider isn't a Funnelweb.

[@dcptiv]

Redbacks are easy to spot. Pretty much they are under everything thats been sitting longer than a week or so & the webs are very easy to spot. They are docile spiders & only bite as a very last resort & even then it may be a dry bite.

[@fatalshore5068]

[@bronsiee]

Yes they are quiet easy to spot and move fairly slowly. I have little kids so I have to kill any of the ones we find in the back yard. Feel a bit bad about it but it is what it is. I've never seen a funnel web despite living in suburban Sydney my whole life. Get heaps of huntsmen and I always try to catch them and set outside. They are magnificent!

[@seanharding8315]

Bill Bailey doing a bit of Norm McDonald there- 9:40

[@Serai3]

Shelob in The Lord of the Rings is a funnel web spider. Peter Jackson has a particular horror of them - he says it's the speed at which they move that freaks him out.

[@PowerYoutuberViewer]

That’s very fitting since Funnel Webs are a somewhat primordial type of spider, resembling closely some of the earliest known fossils of spiders!

Honestly, aren't accidents, wounds and deaths in wars also work related injuries since soldiers (at least in most modern armies) are employed as such? I mean you can make the case for not counting civilian casualties etc but still.

[@SpeccyMan]

etc. is an abbreviation so please punctuate it correctly. 😁

[@CraigNiel]

4:36 I hate this question every time I hear it. Of course you're more likely to die at work, almost everybody goes to work, hardly anyone goes to war. Now ask me if I'd rather be in the middle of a blitzkrieg or sat behind a desk, I know which one is less dangerous! It's a ridiculous question. Just because I'm more likely to die at work than war doesn't mean work is more dangerous? It's like saying, "What's more dangerous, the surface of the moon or work". Well, the surface of the moon obviously seeing that there is no atmosphere and temperatures range from -130c to 120c. The fact that I'm more likely to die at work than the surface of the moon does not mean work is more dangerous! 🤦‍♂

[@graceygrumble]

My response to Jimmy’s comment about the song about lumberjacks being a lie may in fact be wrong. He was referring to American lumberjacks. The song references Canadian lumberjacks 😂

Yes, but the main culprit in spider accidents is a Huntsman Spider. If one of those drops off your sun visor, keeping on the road is the least of your problems.

[@Chuckf66]

Can confirm.

[@DanDownunda8888]

Despite their often large and hairy appearance, huntsman spiders are not considered to be dangerous spiders. As with most spiders, they do possess venom, and a bite may cause some ill effects. However, they are quite reluctant to bite, and will usually try to run away rather than be aggressive.

[@supergran62]

[@steinarbergstl5799]

@@supergran62 Ya know, I've realized a big reason why I'll never move to another country from my native Norway is that our reptiles, insects and arachnids are all rather harmless. There's only one venomous creature here which could possibly cause any harm to a human with its bite and that's the Common European Viper, and even that's very unlikely to kill most humans if bit, not to mention it's honestly rather rare to encounter one and they are shy enough to prefer to slither away of they sense us coming. Also no risk of dangerous sharks or horribly venomous fish or jellyfish in our oceans. You other countries can keep your insane murderfauna, thankyouverymuch. 😄

Well, for one thing more people go to work than go to war every day for one..

[@HellaGust]

Yeah that sounds like the main thing to me. It's like how sharks are often described as less dangerous than various domesticated animals simply because most people won't actually jump into shark-infested waters! Cows cause far more human deaths than sharks in total numbers because essentially all cows interact with humans on a daily basis. But taking just any random member of the species I'd be less worried about standing next to a cow than swimming next to a bull shark. Which, of course, is how the cows get ya. Because we often forget to respect the strength, size and other potential dangers of domesticated animals. Similarly I imagine there are a lot of workplace deaths where people just didn't expect any sort of lethal danger, and were thus more careless than they might have been in a warzone, on top of the sheer unbalance in numbers.
