cybervseasFor reference, just in case you’re actually a crab and have been living under a rock: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation
osaerisxeroYou say we're not crabs, but what do you call car culture and the main battle tank.
We're Hermit crabs!
We’re cosplaying as crabs. We are no crabs.
frauddogg [null/void, undecided]Why is it always crabs
OpenStarsYou uh… probably want to get that looked at then? :-P
Even.our STDs have carcinized.
"Negative. We are trains."
Toot toot!
Negative. I am a meat popsicle.
StiffneckedpplBig badda boom
I know what you mean. But still…
Not sure if disgusting or delicious.
Suddenly another voice breaks through the silence:
VindictiveJudgeDed-a-chek?
Dad-a-chum?
Nice try, you two, but us crabs ain’t falling for your lobstraganda
lobstroganda
Wouldn’t it be lobstraganda?
Or lasagna, I dunno. Just hurry up and become a crab already!?
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.
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:-).
Speak for your self.

Do you want Prador? Because this is how you get Prador.
Note: You do not want Prador.
Prador
The first alien contact between the Polity and another intelligent race is with the crab-like carnivorous race named Prador, who first appear in Neal Asher's Prador Moon. This signals the start of the devastating war between both races. The Prador not only consider rotting human flesh a delicacy, they also enslave them by coring out brains and thralling them with spider-like units linked to a controlling Prador adult thus making humans into mindless blanks and easy for them to control. "Prador"
Neal Asher’s space operas are some of my favorite books. The Prador, the AI, Spatterjay, he even has a short story with terrifying carnivorous sheep in it!
zqwzzleHuman is endoskeleton optimized crab. Arthropod crab is exoskeleton optimized crab.
We have an over abundance of drawn butter.
Are you sure it wasn’t “Are you horses yet”?
I just read the synopsis. Wtf did in just read?
SlippiHUDIt’s an excellent movie, I would recommend watching it, even if the synopsis is insane.
ddittyIt is an excellent movie, especially if you go into watching it knowing it’s a satire. I went in blind and was totally blindsided
Same, still loved it. The big reveal completely derailed my brain for a solid minute before I started cackling like a madman.
A synopsis for a great fucking movie.
FauxPseudo I spent 20 years in call centers. I felt so much of this movie.
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
Alternate plot line for the movie Contact
TheReturnOfPEBanyone with extensive use of kitchen tongs has a primordial understanding of our clicky-clack fates
IndiBronyIt’s true. It’s so satisfying to click those tongs, how can we NOT turn into crab?

P4ulin_KbanaWar of the worlds?
I was recalling that Wells’ “The Time Machine” has a crab like thing the main character encounters near the end…!
Me too, but as a reference in one of Andy Griffith`s books that I forgot its name in english.
Now that’s how a short story is written!
Oh god oh fuck someone out in the black taught them to read
Learning an alien language is what computers and experts are for. It’s not easy, but it should be doable. See also www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OpoWJbo7oM
Meanwhile the crabs on earth: “yo wtf??”
Which crabs do we choose to represent us?
Snow crabs? King crabs? The voice actor for Mr Krabs?
Who is “us”? You got a crab in your pocket?
We are us
The Kurgan would be a solid choice.
Hey when they can build radio antennas then they can talk to the aliens. Until then they can go play at the beach.
IheartcheeseThrow radios in the ocean?
There’s no shortage of batteries to power them.
