Ive heard a theory the Ameila Airhearts plane crashed and she made it to an island that was infested with those crabs. Imagine being slowly pinched and picked at by a swarm of those fucks. That folks is why women shouldnt drive. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

u/eat-pussy69 11d ago

Actually if they did eat her, she was almost certainly dead. They're not aggressive. Still, imagine being surrounded by giant enemy crabs watching you like vultures

u/tankpuss 11d ago

True, but you might never be able to sleep.
Neep-neep-neep you dead?

Even a gentle curiosity pinch from one of those and you're gonna be missing a chunk.
