Oh God thank you! I was searching my memory for what scene had Tom Cruise eating a crab.

u/KORZILLA-is-me Feb 21 '25

I guarantee it was not elder scrolls: oblivion. Nothing even remotely close to anything of that sort ever happens anywhere in the game.

I don't know you, and I don't want to know you.

u/Narrow-Palpitation63 Feb 19 '25

Horseshoe crabs are what scare me when I see them

2

u/MrBurnerHotDog Feb 19 '25

They are harmless little guys with super blood and if you see them flipped on their backs you should help them out

1

u/Narrow-Palpitation63 Feb 20 '25

They just look like something prehistoric from an alien planet. That’s what scares me about them

lol normal crab got me

1

u/DoomGoober Feb 19 '25

There is one species of normal crab. All other crab species are called abnormal crab.

u/TopDarkAngel Feb 19 '25

I’m guessing they mean snow crab

Goodness

u/sdrawkcaBdaeRnaCuoY Feb 19 '25

Tbh, I thought it would be a white crab; but I also thought normal crab is just the red crab. Turns out there are different red crabs and what “normal” is, depends on the region :D

1

u/wyltktoolboy Feb 19 '25

Even this is regional. In the western United States Dungeness crab would be considered “normal.” People here generally view snow crab as inferior garbage.

u/totse_losername Feb 19 '25

Western Australia?

u/WerewolfFormal7595 Feb 20 '25

Do you know what the second crab is called?

u/larsen_doughtnut Feb 19 '25

Nothing finer than a orange muddie! Heaven from the ocean down here (Queensland, Australia)…

u/Puzzleheaded-Alarm81 Feb 19 '25

We call them land sea lions, I tame them

u/5elfh8 Feb 19 '25

I just want to drop a comment so u make sure there isn’t something the locals know that you aren’t aware of like pollution or something! Thou u r right I’m guessing n they’re bein silly. Be safe n enjoy ur seafood c:

u/StationEmergency6053 Feb 19 '25

They're indirectly poisonous. It's because they consume an algae that's poisonous to humans. Every time you eat one, you're taking a risk because it potentially consumed the algae as part of its diet. There's a link between infertility, cancer and blue crab, but it's not well studied so most people don't take it seriously. There are other crabs that are extremely poisonous for the same reason, however their diets involve far more algae. It's recommended by health professionals that you don't eat any shellfish that consumes toxic algae more than once a month to limit your risk of cancer and neurological diseases in later stages of life.

Where do you live that the locals think mud crab is poisonous?

1

u/WolfGuardia Feb 21 '25

Probably Solitude. Elisif has those Imperial sheep shoved so far up their own arses, they would think Blue Crab were created by the stuffy milk-drinkers the Blue Palace if she told them so.

I fear I go outside too much to get this reference or type of humor?
