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: They can do stuff like plan ambushes in advance. Very cool.
gollark: Fairly advanced cognition running on a brain several orders of magnitude smaller than a human's via ridiculous levels of timesharing.
gollark: Speaking of spiders, have you heard of Portia spiders? They're very cool.
gollark: One molecule of spider contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, giving an atomic weight of 18.
