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 31 points 1 month ago

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

reincarnation + carcinisation = clickyclackclack

[-] turnipjs@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

reincarcinisation (clickity clack, crusty comrade)

[-] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 78 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 73 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

A synopsis for a great fucking movie.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

Suddenly another voice breaks through the silence:

man fighting off crabs

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

edit: spelling of lobstroganda

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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:-).

Crabs do evolve fairly often.

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

[-] refalo@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

Alternate plot line for the movie Contact

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] TotalFat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That should be the title as well

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

"Negative. We are trains."

[-] Feyd@programming.dev 22 points 1 month ago

Negative. I am a meat popsicle.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 1 month 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.

Note: You do not want Prador.

I was recalling that Wells' "The Time Machine" has a crab like thing the main character encounters near the end...!
