    I’m still salty that I once lost a game of trivia because I said this myth was false, and the “official” answer said it was true.

      Do you have a source that this claim is just a myth?

        It was intended to be an example of a ridiculous “false fact” that went on to become widely believed.

        Also, I can barely eat 6 spiders in one sitting.

          6 orders of spiders, maybe.

          We’ve all made the embarrassing mistake of ordering 6 orders of spiders, thinking it was 6 individual spiders, and succumbing to a ego belly encumbered with as many as 36 spiders for sake of seeming ignorant of how spider restaurants work. And since it’s usually a mistake made on nascent visits in unfamiliar cultural territory, we’re already acting inured to the strangeness of eating raw spiders, so it’s often a double-whammy.

            And the worst part is that they charge extra for any leftovers, so you can’t leave even a single leg unmasticated.

    Plot twist: these are 6 legged bed bugs. The survivor was right, but now it has to live with the fact that its last words to its buddy were, “You’re stupid.”

    “That’s stupid, you’re stupid.”

    I don’t know why, but this line is so funny to me. 😄

    True or not, this becomes moot when you sleep using a full face mask CPAP. It’s also nice, because it also protects against rank farts.
