I never considered that nasa might fund other forms of research besides just space. Or where they going to test LSD + no gravity next
wait, was I just bullshited?
Are the other ones also not true? And I was so invested!
Isn’t the reason that plants invented caffeine in the first place was precisely to ward off pests, particularly arthropods? And it’s just cool as shit that it does other effects to mammals other than killing us?
Don’t you dare try to take away my coffee.
Yeah, arthropods have some of the same neurotransmitters and similar receptor proteins but it's very different in their nervous system.

Memory unlocked
Okay so I know I'm not a spider but like, where do I sign up for these trials?
I bet speed spider made like 3 of those and moved on to a new project that it didn't finish
I drink this shit for breakfast, noobs
