Here's a short video talking about the results of this experiment, and how each spider reacted to the different drugs.
Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

"building webs is fo suckas"
I will never not watch that video.
"For more information on the crack spider's bitch, contact the Canadian Wildlife Service in Ottawa"
I only came in here to make sure this was posted. I don't even have to click the link to know it's the right video.
Very educational, thanks for sharing!
I know what video is without even opening, lol
I mean, I think they did great. If they did those tests on me it would just be four blank panels with a light coating of Dorito dust.
This says nothing about how the dosage was decided.
Yeah, welcome to pre-2000 science. Things were a bit more basic then.
Everyone must’ve got a lot smarter after 2000.
Yeah, our current scientific literature is known by the high quality and good methodology of the papers.
I’m sorry, my last knowledge update does not address this area. If you’re looking for specific medical advice, please consult a doctor.
Apparently microdosing LSD was the only thing that improved web quality.
I am LSD and I approved this message.
Would have been interesting to see what happened with alcohol, ecstacy, cocaine, heroin, etc. The last one might have just been a blank square though.
Caffeine is an insecticide.
Good thing spiders aren’t insects then, I guess?
So all the little bugs inside of me are dead?
RIP little guys.
Can be used as an insecticide.
It can be a poison to humans too - the poison is in the portion, after all.
Even in minute amounts. It's the whole reason plants started producing caffeine. But you have also run into the big flaw in this, what is the portion they are using?
