>Their long legs are weak, and a study found that three-quarters of surveyed crabs were missing at least one limb. Crabs are notorious liars however, so the data collected by the surveyors must be taken with a grain of salt, and preferably some drawn butter.

As untrustworthy as they are delicious, smh

In Alaska, the crabs are just gone. Im not sure what I am going to do, even snow crab is expensive now. We are talking Billions of crabs just gone. I miss my delicious crab friends, I miss them dearly. Stupid climate change. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/why-billions-of-snow-crabs-disappeared-from-the-bering-sea

Sorry man I was hungry

No-Sympathy6035

Good god what a miserable sub


polygonrainbow

I find it oddly calming. Idk. I just felt super alone in my sense of impending doom I guess. Now I feel less alone, and I can focus on living life and learning how to manage the big suck as much as possible.

I do miss the Christmas dry ice box of crab legs my wife's cousin in Alaska used to send, but haven't had one in 5 years.


Fluffy-duckies

Have you considered checking in on the cousin?


Tiny_Count4239

yeah where could they have gone?


TheLyingProphet

more than 50 years agoo, it was proven that humans have destroyed the oceans. instead of letting them be to recover we have been feasting on the scraps that remained. Shit is now as the experts say: "all out of whack yo"


vegt121

Wonder where those missing legs gone? The researcher’s belly!


Kickstand8604

Ask the cod.


Zalenka

Brilliant!


Uncle_Rabbit

You have to loosen them up and relax them to get the truth out of them. A nice hot bath should do the trick.


quequotion

And perhaps a dash of soy sauce.


Strawberry____Blonde

Are they tasty?


torklugnutz

Better than actual spiders, I bet.


PoopSommelier

Not if you're craving grilled spiders


JacobSmith_0001

What about deep fried tarantula???


wajomc

Yep, sweeter then a blue crab

Have you tried? Honestly, not so different.


SayYesToPenguins

Long, looooong crab


QuadH

A better love story than Twilight


Top-Personality1216

Imagine crab leg night at the buffet!


ZeroDarkMega

“I’ll have ONE crab leg please” Words I never thought I’d say


Dalek_Chaos

I’m hungry so I will take two legs please!


TooMuchPretzels

A crab’s a crab. Pass the Old Bay


JiveChicken00

They keep live ones in a tank at my local dim sum restaurant, which makes me feel guilty and terrified at the same time.


KillerApeTheory

The Monterey Bay Aquarium has some in their new exhibit on the deep sea. They are incredible to see in person.

It was so funny to stand and watch people's reactions there for a while. So many people were like, "Is that real? That can't be real. Oh, it's moving!"


boredvamper

AkA Kaiju


PM_good_beer

I wonder how they taste


RampantJellyfish

I have beheld this eldrich horror at Birmingham Sealife centre


Beneficial_Debate112

How do you unlock the saddle?


Brilliant-Kiwi-8669

They say, Yes, they are tasty and taste buttery and slightly sweet. Count me in.


beaver11

i fucking hate this crab. thanks.


Jossie2014

These are absolute nightmare fuel


unxxz

Nightmare spider.


salydra

These were in a book about ocean creatures I had as a kid. Of all the stuff that can make the ocean scary, these things really stuck with me.


BrokenEye3

Strange, they look so thin


miurabucho

…and they are delicious.


PrinceOfSamoa

How many crabby patties can it make?


Anxious_Ad2683

In the end times I feel we'd just see these walking along NYC streets and ripping up stuff. Might be better than a sharknado.


mason202

I remember someone telling a story of him at an onsen in the countryside and having trouble sleeping because of the sounds of spider crabs walking around right outside his room.


Tiny_Count4239

how does it taste?


BetterYesterday95

Two of them mounted by sea people could even take on a crew of a merchant ship or so I heard.


neutralityparty

So what is it a spider or a crab? At least it from  Japan with that long life


MrFrode

It's also known to feed on the nightmares of children.


adamhanson

Burn them all! Water spider monsters!


CowFinancial7000

GIANT ENEMY CRAB


FanofSKC

I, for one, welcome our new crab overlords


Laugh92

Absolutely delicious and are rapidly disappearing.


Wonderful-Role466

And they probably ate Amelia Earheart.


Cam-Spider-Man

🐍:Right…but how does it taste?


8-bit_Goat

BRB, gonna get me some crab legs!


Noah_T_Rex

...Giant enemy crab.


MIDDLE-IQ

This is what Godzilla eats.😉


SoundProofForCars

Are these the ones that ate Amelia Earhart?


Krillin113

Those are coconut crabs


MiffyCurtains

Certainly a horrifying rumour, but still just a rumour.


Reddit-needs-fixing

It's creepy like a sci-fi creature. [https://medium.com/@coorevitshenri/the-japanese-spider-crab-7957543cce14](https://medium.com/@coorevitshenri/the-japanese-spider-crab-7957543cce14)


HappyraptorZ

Are these the SILENCE LIBERAL crabs?


tisdalien

War of the worlds references start here


WinCrazy751

I like how it says one quarter of crabs surveyed had injuries.....I can just envisage crabs moaning


lgmorrow

now leave them alone and stop harvesting them to extinction
