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

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

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months 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)

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 6 months ago

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

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 73 points 6 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??"

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Which crabs do we choose to represent us?

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

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago

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

Are you sure it wasn't "Are you horses yet"?

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

[-] SlippiHUD@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

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

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 5 points 6 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 6 months ago

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

[-] expr@programming.dev 9 points 6 months ago

A synopsis for a great fucking movie.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I spent 20 years in call centers. I felt so much of this movie.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 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

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 34 points 6 months ago

Suddenly another voice breaks through the silence:

man fighting off crabs

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Ded-a-chek?

[-] Mannimarco@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Dad-a-chum?

Nice try, you two, but us crabs ain't falling for your lobstroganda

edit: spelling of lobstroganda

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 6 months ago

lobstroganda

Wouldn't it be lobstraganda?

Or lasagna, I dunno. Just hurry up and become a crab already!?

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

I had lobstraganda at first but amended to lobstroganda due to the quoted sources being lobstrosities.

Well, I wasn't 100% sure of how King had spelled it so I searched duck duck go for "ded-a-chek" and the Dark Tower Wiki entry for Lobstrosities topped the list. Sound out of deference to the source material: lobstroganda.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Oh "lobstrosities" for sure ~(become~ ~a~ ~crab)~

But I'm firm on the "lobstraganda" ~(I~ ~don't~ ~care~ ~just~ ~hurry~ ~up~ ~and~ ~become~ ~a~ ~crab~ ~already!~ - it just makes too much sense, for us ~~crabs~~ uh... gotta go, bye!

~life~ ~as~ ~a~ ~crab~ ~is~ ~awesome~ ~-~ ~are~ ~you~ ~really~ ~really~ ~sure~ ~that~ ~you~ ~don't~ ~want~ ~to~ ~join~ ~us~ ~today~ ~already?~

Edit: it took far too much effort to make every single word small like that, so I totally lost track of what I was doing. So replace "crab" with... whatever you want:-).
