Tried playing video games but the mentally-sensitive artists of our age of downfall have all subconsciously put spider enemies in all of our games. Plus they're really annoying to fight.

Now your dreams will never again be so peaceful. You will see capital in your nights, like a nightmare, that presses you and threatens to crush you. With terrified eyes you will see it get fatter, like a monster with one hundred proboscises that feverishly search the pores of your body to suck your blood. And finally you will learn to assume its boundless and gigantic proportions, its appearance dark and terrible, with eyes and mouth of fire, morphing its suckers into enormous hopeful trumpets, within which you’ll see thousands of human beings disappear: men, women, children. Down your face will trickle the sweat of death, because your time, and that of your wife and your children will soon arrive. And your final moan will be drowned out by the happy sneering of the monster, glad with your state, so much richer, so much more inhumane.

—Carlo Cafiero, Summary of Marx's Capital (1879)

You can't go back to normal. You gotta respec. I recommend looking up build guides for Podcaster, Sovereign Citizen, or Sandwich Board Guy.

Just got a loud Spider-Man 2 advertisement on YouTube. There is no escape from this torment on the internet.

psychedelic mega-dose walkabout in some isolated area is your best option, either you come back re-integrated with some coping mechanisms or dead-set on adventurism

that or move to a spider-free area

Although spiders can be found in any climate, from the most torrid to the most humid, some areas are free of these species: Arctic and Antarctic, and high altitude regions, such as mountains and high peaks.

Just follow a weird sword to a frozen northern waste and sit on a Frozen ThroneI refuse to believe Warcraft III came out two decades ago.

Insects, which are basically land-shrimps, once integrated into Western society's factory farming apparatus, will reveal the final form of end-game Vegan Discourse.

Spiders are not insects, but in a war they will side with the insects

Traitors, traitors, spider traitors! They'll betray us and they'll make us

A spider is not an insect in the same way that a tomato is not a vegetable. It's a technically true statement, but deep down, we all know it's effectively false.
