What was the technical term for this? Something like crabbification but more fancy

can@sh.itjust.works on 17 Jun 14:50 next collapse

Carcinisation

Thanks!

10/10 Wikipedia rabbit hole right there. Like a delightful snack.

Just recovered from that honeypot. Holy shit.

Like a crabcake?

*The encrabening

Sounds like a horror movie. I like it!

The Claw Snips for Thee featuring Dr. Zoidberg!

It feels like it would be an Australian horror movie specifically

lugal@sopuli.xyz on 17 Jun 23:23 collapse

They have other unique animals, crabs are universal. But I’m not into Australian horror movies, maybe it fits there

Excuse me, but encrabbening is supposed to have a double B.

Get thee to the Crabbery!

Carcinisation. Presumably rooted in the Cancer crab constellation.

Reddfugee42@lemmy.world on 17 Jun 16:31 next collapse

Lol, the term and the constellation both refer to the Latin Greek word for crab

skulblaka@startrek.website on 17 Jun 18:47 collapse

That makes perfect sense and 2 seconds of thinking about it probably would have led me to that conclusion. Thanks for the clarification.

Kolanaki@yiffit.net on 18 Jun 00:41 next collapse

Man. Even the damn stars are turning into crabs.

Zagorath@aussie.zone on 18 Jun 10:38 collapse

Also a carcinogen is something that gives you crabs.

pH3ra@lemmy.ml on 17 Jun 17:51 next collapse

Humans are just imperfect crabs

mojofrododojo@lemmy.world on 18 Jun 08:47 collapse

This is going in my profile description.

Cybermonk_Taiji@r.nf on 18 Jun 01:14 next collapse

Craaaaaaaaabs!

SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world on 17 Jun 14:52 next collapse

The question is, is it actually a crab?

setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world on 17 Jun 16:36 next collapse

No phylodiversity, only Khlav Kalash.

RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world on 17 Jun 22:17 collapse

I’ll take a crab juice.
