gollark: Citing a few examples of bad things is not actually evidence of larger scale trends.
gollark: Apparently they just sit there for ages looking at things with incredibly underpowered eyes (which they're able to get useful images out of via combining images over lots of time or something) and planning, then do things.

gollark: Speaking of spiders, have you heard of Portia spiders? They're very cool.
