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

Speak for your self.

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

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago

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

reincarnation + carcinisation = clickyclackclack

reincarcinisation (clickity clack, crusty comrade)

[-] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 82 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

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

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 75 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

A synopsis for a great fucking movie.

Crabs do evolve fairly often.

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

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] TotalFat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That should be the title as well

[-] refalo@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

Alternate plot line for the movie Contact

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 7 points 2 years ago

"Negative. We are trains."

[-] Feyd@programming.dev 22 points 2 years ago

Negative. I am a meat popsicle.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 2 years ago

I know what you mean. But still...

Not sure if disgusting or delicious.

We have an over abundance of drawn butter.

Do you want Prador? Because this is how you get Prador.

Even our STDs have carcinized.
