He is so confident that he might just be a troll. If he isn't he is probably the greatest example of being confidently incorrect who I've seen posted here in a while.
My conspiracy is that a lot of people lived in a time where you could just browbeat people into submission over whether or not you were right, because who was going to go to the library just to prove you wrong?
But now people can learn anything at any time from the slate portal in their pocket, and I believe some people have a hard time relinquishing that control and superiority they had.
I really wondered that too! Not sure how anyone could actually be this obstinate in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Might very well be a troll lol
I'd like to observe, that although funny and drawing a lot of attention, this thread is wrong.
Spiders ARE poisonous. Plenty, if nost the most of them, really. By default we simply do not consider them food, but they are eaten in some parts of our world, nevertheless.
And yes, spiders, ar least some of them are venomous.
Omg that's really interesting, I never would have guessed! Are the effects of the venom and the poison similar at all? I kinda had the intuition that venoms were generally at least kind of edible, probably just because snake venom is lol. Is it even the same chemicals between the two effects? Sorry, my mind is just blown, haha

Noprob, nature is weirder than we can assume.
There are many toxins and some might produce similar effects when ingested, to those that were injected into the bloodstream. Some among these are similar to alcohol poisoning, some might probably give you a drug-like bad trip, others might be fatal. What I'm trying to say is, that there are many variables involved and the result "might vary".
Rule of thumb: do not eat spiders. 😉
When cooking, remove the "head" and "butt". This gets rid of the venom sacs and other, less desirable, bits.
If a spider is venomous, it is poisonous unless prepared properly.

Venom is a type of poison. Poison doesn't have to be eaten. (Eg. Contact poisons exist).
Venom is just a poison that is delivered through a bite or a sting.
