Which crabs do we choose to represent us?

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

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The Kurgan would be a solid choice.

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 6 points 2 days ago

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

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

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 day ago

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 74 points 2 days ago
