Clearly rattled by the terrifying image, users of Reddit's popular Straya forum masked their fear by making puns and commenting on deusy's desktop.

'Off campus is awesome, no bugging for questions,' wrote Xander260.

To which daveo18 replied, 'Some say he invented the web.'

Users on a different forum, Spiderbro, ignored the arachnid and focused on deusy's cluttered desktop instead.

'Jesus christ fix your desktop son!' implored cooper_finnigan
