War of the worlds?
I was recalling that Wells’ “The Time Machine” has a crab like thing the main character encounters near the end…!
Me too, but as a reference in one of Andy Griffith`s books that I forgot its name in english.
Speak for your self.
Alternate plot line for the movie Contact
anyone with extensive use of kitchen tongs has a primordial understanding of our clicky-clack fates
It’s true. It’s so satisfying to click those tongs, how can we NOT turn into crab?
reincarnation + carcinisation = clickyclackclack
reincarcinisation (clickity clack, crusty comrade)
Taste like crab
Talk like people
Oh god oh fuck someone out in the black taught them to read
Learning an alien language is what computers and experts are for. It’s not easy, but it should be doable. See also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OpoWJbo7oM
You say we’re not crabs, but what do you call car culture and the main battle tank.

Do you want Prador? Because this is how you get Prador.

Human is endoskeleton optimized crab. Arthropod crab is exoskeleton optimized crab.
Are you sure it wasn’t “Are you horses yet”?
I just read the synopsis. Wtf did in just read?
It’s an excellent movie, I would recommend watching it, even if the synopsis is insane.
It is an excellent movie, especially if you go into watching it knowing it’s a satire. I went in blind and was totally blindsided
Same, still loved it. The big reveal completely derailed my brain for a solid minute before I started cackling like a madman.
A synopsis for a great fucking movie.
I spent 20 years in call centers. I felt so much of this movie.
So I saw your comment, went to read the synopsis, and was nodding along like “Yeah, this good, what seemed weird?”…and then hit the line “Looking for the bathroom, Cash discovers a shackled half-horse, half-human hybrid who begs him for help.”
…wtf?
Of course now I have to watch it
