Every spring, creepy black 'spiders' sprout up on Mars as buried carbon dioxide ice releases dusty geysers of gas. New ESA images show the phenomenon has begun in the strange Inca City formation.

    I would love it if publications could just limit their headlines to one misleading term per story. The rocks are a ‘city’? Sure. The geysers looks like ‘spiders’? I guess. But when you start putting them together in the same headline it feels like your breaking the fourth wall or something

    I’m not even bothering opening the article, the rant is for the channel or whatever the room is called in Lemmy

    It’s a good time to blacklist this news source.

    TLDR: It’s gas deposits, not Martian spiders… yet.

    That’s a confusing headline. Let’s make it better:

    Mars Spiders Swarm Inca City!

    They really expect us to believe this shit!? Those are definitely large alien spiders that are coming to the surface to mate and multiply as they prepare to attack Earth. I need to join up with United Citizen Federation, quick. I suggest you all do the same…

    Scientists baffled! (cue image of guys wearing glasses and white labcoats, clipboard in hand, ready to take notes at the drop of a pin)

    “Uncanny” - said an unnamed, top researcher at the institute.
    “Eerie” - said another.
