They have a built in arachnophobia setting, it turns them into kittens.

Not stopping would require me to actually start first. I haven't gotten that far yet. Seems to be the difficult part.

Well, generally speaking the easiest way to do that is to stop only once you're past the 20k mark.

Even if it is voluntary, what exactly are you thanking them for when you thank them for their service? Very confused.
