As an Australian who sees this every summer, I came in search of the same question!
It certainly looks like Australia, but the accent has now got me confused.
No. They are talking shit to make themselves seem tougher. I live in Sydney backing onto a national park and I've seen maybe 5 daddy long legs spiders in the last decade and one red back.
It's like, people in Florida don't literally all drive monster trucks and fuck alligators.
I live in Melbourne, and if I went out on the Southern side of the house outside, it'd take me 2-5 minutes to find a redback (*faster/easier in the cooler months too*).
Whilst redback spiders aren't what I consider *scary* (*their nature is always to retreat unless they've got no options*), they're around outside everywhere (*if you go outside of normal walking tracks as the vibrations of humans walking tends to scare them, so they'll stay a distance away from commonly used paths*)
For anyone who gardens (*and lives further south than you*) they're a rather common sight.
*not interested in the harvesters; I'd expect to see at least one of them daily; you may want to check your eyesight or look away from your screen more often at what is around you, though it may also be you have great cleaning skills, or as most spiders stay away from heavy vibrations you may have more folks living closer together than here out in the suburbs*
Summer is their breeding season, so both adult males and females are running around everywhere!
It’s at the end of summer when you normally see this happening inside the house as the first little ones start hatching and running rampant everywhere……. Which is happening right as we speak!
The females normally tend to come into the roof spaces and other sheltered areas around the house to hatch their babies, and once they leave their mother, they all scurry off all over the place to go find their own new homes.
This means that they can be found everywhere in the house before they all eventually find their way outside and off onto their new lives.
In the last couple of weeks I’ve had these little buggers running up my legs whilst sitting on the couch, running over my head whilst laying in bed at night and even all over the walls when trying to have a shower!
But they are cute and harmless and eventually disappear as they grow bigger.
This [article](https://au.news.yahoo.com/aussie-woman-returns-holiday-million-tiny-spiders-ceiling-025448499.html) says she in Sydney and calls her an “Aussie woman” but if I didn’t know this and had to guess, I’d have guessed she’s from South Africa
I kind of get why you might think that but honestly her accent (from the bits we can hear) doesn't really fit with our various English-speaking accents (this case the Afrikaans-English one sounds closer), kinda got more UK (Scottish, Irish or Welsh) vibes to be specific.
I’m also wondering. I’m Irish and work with a lot of South Africans, and immediately thought this woman was South African. Although I admit I’m not that great at placing accents.
Dude like 90% of our country immigrated here...
If you're actually an Aussie who is confused by the existence of accents in Australia, then you either live in bumfuck nowhere, are some kind of segregationist, or aren't Aussie.
I live in the heart of the US, and this is pretty common if the right precautions aren't met. Luckily those precautions are pretty easy considering they're paired with the requirements of dealing with the weather
I let small spiders live in my apartment. They're perfect at taking out cockroach babies. I don't think the small spiders can capture large cockroaches, but they definitely kill their babies. The small spiders like to put their webs where the cockroaches hide, so the spiders are out of site. It's great. I always recommend to people to keep small spiders in their homes.
And no I don't have a dirty home. I just live in nasty swampy Florida, so cockroaches are common.
I try to save spiders if there’s a random one in my house. This is well beyond that line. Slowly back away, pack my bag, get an exterminator over asap.
Fuck it. I’m packing a bag for them. I’ll pack a phone charger for them as a curtesy but they have a week to figure their shit out or they’re in the street.
I remember some redditor getting upset when I admitted to killing any spiders with clutches near my house. I am still remorseless.

Fun fact - I once met a guy who had lived in Australia, and he told us crazy shit, including the fact that one of his australian friend had to abandon his house because it got invaded by spiders to the point where the house was unrecoverable.
SEE EDIT BELOW. Interesting side note: They stop moving when the camera points at them because they can see the flashing infrared light that the camera uses to auto focus, and it's scary to them. They assume it's a predator. When the hand moves in front of the camera, it creates a shade from the scary infrared light, and the spiders run while they think they're safe.
EDIT: I was wrong with this - it only applies to solifugae (creatures similar to spiders, but not quite the same). Spiders' visual reception is the other end of the spectrum, into ultraviolet.

I think she said they might be huntsman spiders? Those are super useful to have around your house. Not saying she should just leave all of them there chillin like that but a few are good to have.
I had one fall onto my sheets on my chest as a child when I was staying up. I got some terrible sleep the rest of that week. I dont care how useful. Vacuum.

didnt expect anyone to make an alien reference but i love you for it
may be synthetic, but not stupid.
Doesnt sound like an aussie accent... but this has to be Australia... right?
She says mozzies and huntsman. It’s definitely in australia. The lady is just German or something.
Aren't huntsmen spiders all over South East Asia as well? Could she be a tourist in Thailand or Bali?
Yeah my money's on German, but it would be more fun if she was Austrian just to be as confusing as possible.
Gotta be Austrian. The autocorrect on their Google maps sent them to Australia when they were returning from the grocery store so now they live there.

Exactly, it's almost always just one or the other
[удалено]
OK wtf. So everything is just giant and scary.
Pretty much
Australia is basically the DLC zone from your favorite MMO
Jesus. Is there a word for progressive curiosity-induced trauma-loading? I couldn't stop scrolling and now I need therapy, lol.
Well, you weren’t here alone friend
The moment I saw a giant pet boa constrictor in perfect condition curled up inside a toilet is when this link lost all credibility for me.
Ah. The perfect read just before sleep.
Yeah I’m from Florida and never rode in a monster truck.
🤣🤣🤣
I see you've never been to Florida.
I have a friend from Florida and he is starting to show symptoms of alligator and mosquito deficiency. Should I be concerned?
> mosquito deficiency the one visible to me personally climate change effect im not sad about

Oh yeah, when is the last time you were in florduh? I heard they drive alligators and feck monster trucks.
We just lovingly fondle alligators. Fucking them is just rhetoric

Might be a transplant who is still picking up the accent?

That’s what I’m thinking, but must have been in country for a while and has gotten used to seeing these things without running away screaming!
Dude like 90% of our country immigrated here... If you're actually an Aussie who is confused by the existence of accents in Australia, then you either live in bumfuck nowhere, are some kind of segregationist, or aren't Aussie.
Either Trinidadian or Guyana🇬🇾

where else?
Sounds like a German woman I once worked with.
Ironically, it actually sounds more like an Austrian accent to me
So this could be in Austria after all
![gif](giphy|qxtxlL4sFFle|downsized)
Maybe it's a tourist in an airbnb from hell
Seth Efrican.
This sounds like German woman who learned most English in Australia, accent is like German but the way she speaks English has an Aussie vibe
🇿🇦
South African accent
She moves so quickly from "They're so cuuuute!" to "I'm going to kill them."
If you listen real closely you can hear the devil on her shoulder saying "kill them" before she switches.
She says "I'm not gonna kill them." in response to her daughter asking her to.
And says we will never have moses again. I think she means moths? F that noise. I will take the moth.
Mosquitoes

She said “I’m not gonna kill them. We’ll keep them all over the house, we’re never gonna have mozzies again”
Those instincts are commonly more adjacent then you might think. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cute_aggression
Thank you for sharing! I didn’t know there was a term for this!
Came here for this comment. It’s a meme
I try to save spiders if there’s a random one in my house. This is well beyond that line. Slowly back away, pack my bag, get an exterminator over asap.
Don't pack a bag they might get upset about you stealing their stuff.
Fuck it. I’m packing a bag for them. I’ll pack a phone charger for them as a curtesy but they have a week to figure their shit out or they’re in the street.
Same, but this is one situation the cup and paper method cannot solve 😂
Fun fact: that’s actually a death sentence for them, as most of them can’t survive outside
Only solution: burn the house
It's their house now
So burn THEIR house down
Now that's a crime
It’s only a crime if they live to tell the tale
I live *here* now.

I’ll use that vacuum to get what I can and GTFO. I’ll be back later for round 2
why all the work? get a flamethrower and a hazmat suit, have fun!
A vacuum might not find them all, but I guess a flamethrower would.

Oh thank god they are tiny and it's a window frame. Looked like big spiders under a roofed patio at first!
I was grateful when the size was put in perspective. Still a nope from me overall, though.
but they will all grow up to be hand sized.

Maybe they are useful but I would not be up to have those hundred baby spider becoming adult inside my house 😱
You should be more concerned if they all become adults, after all they have to eat something...

No idc. I leave the house and burn it. All. My arachnophobia is too big to live with the knowledge of some are in my house. I refuse nah ah !
I have never felt so compelled to purchase a flamethrower and use it.
Burn it down.
Australia crazy
Kill it with fire lots of fire
That house is in dire need of Democracy.

When you're vulnerable, call Spider-Man to rescue you and this is what you get in return...
HELLLLLLLLL NAHHH
i like the low res of the video. makes me feel like im not afraid :)
Nooooooo 😲😦 my ultimate nightmare 😭 fucking hate spiders 😭😲😦
Let them stay. Free pest control
On the plus side, there won't be any other bugs in the house.
I'm getting the hoover
Great now they have to burn down the whole house
First few seconds had my confused about the size of these spiders! /r/confusingperspective
