Hello again, lovelies! Your sacharrine buddy Contraboss here with a slightly different thread this time. I want to talk about CRABS! I think crabs of all types are fascinating, entertaining, and even adorable at times. They are often dicks to each other, but it's just an amusing quirk about them that I love. And if you're not into seeing them live, well then it's all good because it's well known that they are fuckin' tasty when cooked up right! Here are some crabs being crabby: Whoa.....easy man, we can talk about this... Even crabs have rear end in a top hat neighbors! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FkUJmC6sNc Hey lookit this lil guy! He's-...errr...oh...wait... Of course, I can't post this thread without mentioning one of my own little crustaceans. Meet Jojo! He's a land hermit crab, or more specifically known as a Purple Pincher because of their big-rear end purple claw that provides protection when hiding in their shells. I've had him for several years, and he is by far the largest hermit crab I've ever had. He is also the friendliest of all my crabs; he doesn't spook easily, and he even approaches me, "sniffing" the air with his antennae when I open the terrarium lid because he thinks he's getting treats or exercise. Sometimes, I like to fan a slice of pizza over the tank and watch his antennae go apeshit as he searches for a pizza-flavored carcass. His favorite activities include eating, climbing, parking his fat rear end in front of the entrances of the other crabs' hiding spots which blocks them, trying on different shells, going for "walks" when I let him roam freely on the floor, more eating, and making GBS threads in the water dish. His favorite foods include: coconut, tuna, birdseed, pumpkin, oak leaves, crayfish, persimmon, freshly killed insects(especially any unlucky flies that get trapped at our windows), chicken, boiled eggs, jalepenos, and Burger King Whopper meat. Here he is putting in some work on a shrimp tail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mnHkX6jAxg Yes, I'm a grown-rear end man that has hermit crabs. Fight me, bitch. Anyways, this is a thread to post about crabs. Tell me what you like about 'em, or feel free to post crabs of your own!

Some marine biologist made the multiple crab cycle in response to the other one: quote:The weird thing to me about that crab cycle meme is that crabs have these weirdly complicated life-cycles, in which they change shape an entirely excessive number of times. So really…

I can't eat any other sad, chumpy crab cakes now. But then, growing up in Alaska had its perks man.... Local King crab

ContraBoss posted:Yissssssss! Godamn right. Original .cx domain. I always wondered if the locals just eat the poo poo out of those crabs during their migration or whatever. Like godamn look at all that crab. Maybe they somehow taste like poo poo or something. Spinster posted:Spiders of the Sea I've always speculated that the first humans to eat a crab were prolly starving before they got around to "Yeah gently caress it I'll eat that spiny water spider."

Blue crabs are delicious. Fiddler crabs are funny. Hermit crabs have a home which they haul on their backs.

How many crabs could you beat in a fight if you had a comically oversized mallet? I'd say probably 15,400.
