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

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

Carcinisation. Presumably rooted in the Cancer crab constellation.

[–] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

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

Man. Even the damn stars are turning into crabs.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Also a carcinogen is something that gives you crabs.

It feels like it would be an Australian horror movie specifically

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

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.

Humans are just imperfect crabs

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This is going in my profile description.

No phylodiversity, only Khlav Kalash.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'll take a crab juice.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The question is, is it actually a crab?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
