I was sitting on the steps to my house with my friend Evan. We were about 2 or 3. There were hundreds of ants on the sidewalk below us. Evan reached down and started smushing them. I turned to him and told him to stop: “How would YOU feel if you were an ant and someone smushed YOU?” A patronizing lesson in empathy… Interestingly, I had open heart surgery around the same time and spent days in the hospital, but this memory is much more visceral. Love this question.

His name is NewBeanMeister22. 8 or so years back, when I was in college, I found out about his insane youtube channel.
Basically, the lore is this: he started as a weird but normal toy review channel with his wife, but that all changed when he got a package from ebay that contained a black widow spider that had just laid eggs. Supposedly the spiders scurried into his crawlspace and infested it, and soon spread to the rest of his house, meaning he had to quarantine his dog and kids away from the spread.
He was desperate to be rid of the black widows, but too stubborn to hire a professional, so he started capturing other bugs from his backyard and releasing them into his house in hopes that they would kill the black widows. To mixed results. He filmed all of this and continued to release toy reviews and travel videos even as black widows overtook his house.
He got caught in drama a few years ago when he was accused of reusing old footage to fake the infestation despite having gotten rid of the spiders. So now he fessed up that they have been taken care of, yet harnesses his love of insects (and the fact that most of his viewers came to his channel to gawk at his black widow infestation) to maintain an extensive cast of pet spiders and mantises. A legend in my eyes, and a saga me and my roommate watched unfold in real time.
