What was the technical term for this? Something like crabbification but more fancy

10/10 Wikipedia rabbit hole right there. Like a delightful snack.

Just recovered from that honeypot. Holy shit.

Like a crabcake?

Carcinisation. Presumably rooted in the Cancer crab constellation.

[-] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Lol, the term and the constellation both refer to the ~~Latin~~ Greek word for crab

[-] skulblaka@startrek.website 10 points 3 months ago

That makes perfect sense and 2 seconds of thinking about it probably would have led me to that conclusion. Thanks for the clarification.

Man. Even the damn stars are turning into crabs.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

Also a carcinogen is something that gives you crabs.

The Claw Snips for Thee featuring Dr. Zoidberg!

It feels like it would be an Australian horror movie specifically

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

They have other unique animals, crabs are universal. But I'm not into Australian horror movies, maybe it fits there

Excuse me, but encrabbening is supposed to have a double B.

Humans are just imperfect crabs

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

This is going in my profile description.

No phylodiversity, only Khlav Kalash.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I'll take a crab juice.

[-] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

The question is, is it actually a crab?

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago
