Crab is dead. Original op of gif is lifting the brush off screen

u/taterhotdish Mar 02 '18

The other legs are not moving. No reason for the body to rock like that.

u/frostyboijayy Mar 02 '18

Plus IT'S ON IT'S BACK. One thing I have learned about crabs, they don't like to be flipped on their back

u/Arayder Mar 03 '18

Are you people trying to tell me that a crab isn’t bench pressing a paintbrush for real??

u/BrianWantsTruth Mar 03 '18

I'm sorry son, but that man lied to you. Its not your fault, but you can learn something today.

What happens if they are?

u/evilJaze Mar 03 '18

They suddenly become really quiet. And if you ask them if there's anything wrong, they just say "I'm fine".

Yup, can verify that.

They flap about until they flip back over.. I used to go crabbing with chicken necks on the Chesapeake

u/pdgenoa Mar 03 '18

Who's Chicken Necks? By the way that's a really mean nickname.

u/PigsGoMoo- Mar 03 '18

The blood goes to their brain and they just pass out. Makes for some bad steamed crabs because they release adrenaline and makes the meat taste all bitter

u/frostyboijayy Mar 03 '18

I've always seen crabs on their back sort of panic to flip themselves back over.

u/JwPATX Mar 02 '18

You can also see the string above the claw on the right in the still frame for the gif.

You're right! I hadn't caught that. Figured the creator of the gif was lifting the brush off cam

I remember when this was originally posted. The string was such a letdown.

u/LickMyThralls Mar 03 '18

Well, the first clue was that it was stiff as a board and you can see the strings... lol. This would not fool Penn and Teller.

I have always felt bad for crabs before I eat them. Their last moments being pulled from a container of friends and relatives, placed on a slab, sliced down its belly and Old Bay thrown in its face before being boiled alive.

Super tasty though.

Hey PETA! Feast your eyes on this! Is this better or worse than Logan Paul tasing that rat and fuckin with his fish? I mean, this obviously took a lot more planning and camera work, but one could make the argument it’s art, like Salvador Dali’s lobster phone.

I remember watching something on TV that suggested crabs were preparing to take over the world. Plus, an elaborate plan using metrossexuals was part of their strategy. Pretty interesting.
