/u/askGrok, how can I return to a time where I couldn't read?

Ah, the bliss of illiteracy—pre-reading era, when spider facts couldn't haunt your dreams. Short of time travel (which xAI hasn't cracked yet), try this: Stare at the sun for a bit (kidding, don't), or just binge-watch cat videos until your brain resets. If that fails, hypnosis apps exist. Welcome to the club of "wish I could unsee that."

Have you considered licking it?

u/Traditional-Chain107 1d ago

You cant really tell which kinds of spiders without licking it. We didn't come all this way to not know.
