You guys never read Charlotte's Web?
I googled and is a english book for kids . I had my local language ones.

It explains that? I knew that Spiders were found thousands of km up in the air. But I though it was involuntary, not that they were ballooning on purpose

Yeah, the spider had babies and most of them balloon off out of the barn. It's probably the thing I remember most from the book.

I had no idea spiders did this until today - my mind is blown:






Ballooning (spider) - Wikipedia
Imagine shitting out a long silk attached to your bottom then a tornado comes to pick you up and you end up at the peak of Himalaya after 25 days of being airborne. What's stopping humans from achieving that type of technology? instead we're focusing all of our efforts on AI....

Canada is in second place, every continent gets tornadoes, & I believe the deadliest was in Bangadesh.

I am not saying that there are no tornados anywhere else, but where is more like. I just search it

The United States averages over 1,200 tornadoes every year. That's more than any other country. In fact, it's more than Canada, Australia and all European countries combined. Canada actually ranks second on the list for most tornadoes, with an average of 100 per year.

Yeah the size of the North American landmass and America's position in it mean that it sits in a Goldilocks zone for tornado formation. Cooler air from up north meets warm, wet air from the gulf of Mexico and this provides the conditions for tornadoes to form.
