Human is endoskeleton optimized crab. Arthropod crab is exoskeleton optimized crab.

Speak for your self.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 104 points 10 months ago

anyone with extensive use of kitchen tongs has a primordial understanding of our clicky-clack fates

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago

It's true. It's so satisfying to click those tongs, how can we NOT turn into crab?

reincarnation + carcinisation = clickyclackclack

You say we're not crabs, but what do you call car culture and the main battle tank.

We're Hermit crabs!

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

We’re cosplaying as crabs. We are no crabs.

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 76 points 10 months ago

For reference, just in case you're actually a crab and have been living under a rock: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation

Meanwhile the crabs on earth: "yo wtf??"

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago

Hey when they can build radio antennas then they can talk to the aliens. Until then they can go play at the beach.

Which crabs do we choose to represent us?

Snow crabs? King crabs? The voice actor for Mr Krabs?

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Who is "us"? You got a crab in your pocket?

I just read the synopsis. Wtf did in just read?

[-] SlippiHUD@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

It's an excellent movie, I would recommend watching it, even if the synopsis is insane.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

It is an excellent movie, especially if you go into watching it knowing it's a satire. I went in blind and was totally blindsided

[-] SlippiHUD@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Same, still loved it. The big reveal completely derailed my brain for a solid minute before I started cackling like a madman.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 10 points 10 months ago

So I saw your comment, went to read the synopsis, and was nodding along like "Yeah, this good, what seemed weird?"...and then hit the line "Looking for the bathroom, Cash discovers a shackled half-horse, half-human hybrid who begs him for help."

...wtf?

Of course now I have to watch it

[-] expr@programming.dev 9 points 10 months ago

A synopsis for a great fucking movie.

Crabs do evolve fairly often.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago

Oh god oh fuck someone out in the black taught them to read

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Learning an alien language is what computers and experts are for. It's not easy, but it should be doable. See also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OpoWJbo7oM

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Let's remake StarTrek 4, The Voyage Home...but with crabs!

[-] TotalFat@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

That should be the title as well

[-] refalo@programming.dev 7 points 10 months ago

Alternate plot line for the movie Contact

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 7 points 10 months ago

"Negative. We are trains."

[-] Feyd@programming.dev 22 points 10 months ago

Negative. I am a meat popsicle.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 10 months ago

I know what you mean. But still...

Not sure if disgusting or delicious.

We have an over abundance of drawn butter.

Even our STDs have carcinized.
