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 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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 1 month ago

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

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 76 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??"

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 1 month ago (2 children)

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 (1 children)

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

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 10 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

[–] expr@programming.dev 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A synopsis for a great fucking movie.

Crabs do evolve fairly often.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month 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

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

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

Alternate plot line for the movie Contact

Negative. I am a meat popsicle.
