Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

They should really make a Netflix series on SCP. Like Warehouse 13 but like horror genre. I would watch the shit out of that show.
SCP is really scraping the bottom of the barrel for new ideas.
They warn you about this effect in diving school... Sounds horrifying and unstoppable.
What's going on? It looks like a curious crab that runs off
Localized pressure differential... Also known as Delta-P...

....the contents of the pipe being cut is a large volume of low pressure... The ocean at depth is a large volume of high pressure... The differential is high enough to suck a crab through a small space, making minced meat of it.
There's stories out there of it happening to divers... Mostly to do with low pressure gas pipes being fixed or repaired.
The morbidly curious can find plenty on YouTube.
Oh... He's being sucked in, not running away 🥺
Yeah, sad isn't it...
Mind you there's also the idea that species in the ocean often end up evolving into crabs... So more crabs to come. They're somewhat inevitable.
