What cary doesn't mention is that this was based on his real life experiences. I stayed at his hotel and at first I was mad because I couldn't get a refund or go anywhere else but over the weekend I grew attached to a spider on my door I named Kevin. I said hello and goodbye every time I passed through the door and kept the other spiders away so they wouldnt eat him or steal his food. When I was leaving for the last time I saw Cary walk over and use his bare hand to slap Kevin dead and he rubbed his palms together to clean the bits of Kevin off like dry glue

"Honey the hotel manager said they were gonna sort out the spider problem but I'm pretty sure he's just breeding super intelligent ones"

Humans are like spiders
They turn red when they have narrowly avoided death 25 times.

i love how you made it 3d even though the actual simulation is just a wraparound rectangle. much more fun to watch this way

"in spider civilization no one stays in the shadows"

I just watched 1 hour of a yellow headed stick figure running through a roofless room infested with colorful spiders

The only thing missing is for the oldest living spider to be given a little crown and to be thereafter referred to as "The Spider King"

What's interesting is that this is a genuine problem for entomologists who study pest control. When certain kinds of chemicals are used flies will develop a resistance to that chemical since they breed so quickly

Cary’s been dropping so many bangers that I forgot that I even subscribed FOR evolution simulators like 8 years ago 😭

the speed at which the character walks around is absolutely unhinged. honestly most of this game is unhinged

What would be interesting is if prey for the spiders would be introduced. The prey and the spiders would have to adapt to each other and the swatters, and due to space constraints the prey might develop games of "Chicken" with the spiders to see how long they can stay in the area of the swatters before having to leave. Spiders might then have to adapt to those risk-reward situations to determine when they're fast enough to grab the prey and also get out of the way of the swatters afterwards.

I actually stayed at this place for a while! Honestly the spiders weren’t so bad, it was much weirder how the owner would just stand still outside my window, staring, sometimes for years at a time. Then he would just start walking through walls. Spiders were friendly though, it seemed like the only thing they knew how to do was run.

Slow moving while safe is evolutionarily better than sitting still, because it prevents the clumping we saw early on.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stayed at this hotel for a week in early December, and was admittedly at first a bit apprehensive of the wildlife, but the spiders turned out to be fascinating and friendly. Honestly made our stay so much cozier, and our scrapbook has many great new photos and a few of the prettiest flattened arachnids.
One amazing surprise was the proprietor demonstrating his magical talent for slipping right through walls like there was a door there! Now it makes sense why he'd stand still for hours at a time: he was training his psionic talents!

I think it's funny how cary asks "who will win: the swatters or the spiders" right after mentioning that a new spider is created for every spider that dies, and thus the spider population remains static. I'm only a few minutes into the video but I don't really see a swatter win condition? Sorry, I'm probably reading too much into this.

These tenants thought their landlord was getting rid of the spiders, but he was actually helping the spiders evolve to survive longer

you've seen spiders georg, now behold georgs spider
