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 1 week 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 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

reincarcinisation (clickity clack, crusty comrade)

[-] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 82 points 1 week 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 6 points 1 week ago

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

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 76 points 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

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

edit: spelling of lobstroganda

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

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

[-] SlippiHUD@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

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

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

That should be the title as well

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

"Negative. We are trains."

[-] Feyd@programming.dev 23 points 1 week ago

Negative. I am a meat popsicle.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 1 week ago

I know what you mean. But still...

Not sure if disgusting or delicious.

Alternate plot line for the movie Contact

[-] satanmat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

We have an over abundance of drawn butter.

[-] TrenchcoatFullofBats@belfry.rip 5 points 1 week ago

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

Note: You do not want Prador.
