You teach crabs how to read and before you know it the crabs will be trying to unionize

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 23 points 2 weeks ago

"Fellow crabs, join claws!"

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 21 points 2 weeks ago

Who ionized crabs in the first place? Did they consent to ionizing?

[–] obsoleteacct@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

And start making crazy demands about not being boiled and eaten. It'll be Blair Mountain all over again.

Not with de facto mayor Roland promising them a better future under his factory empire.

(Yeah, hard to work in Another Crab’s Treasure references)

Of all the times I've seen this meme, this is the first time I've noticed the child's name. Strairdrac The Netherwatcher. Sounds like a decent fellow.

The entire thing is fake sadly, however, I'd totally do that with my child if I felt the need to put parental controls on their devices. For now, though, it's not even an issue (too young for any smart devices) and idk, I grew up without parental controls and I'm fine - I'd say everyone needs to play Runescape and get scammed of their most valuable belongings, it makes skepticism come more naturally.

My kids are old enough to start using computers and smart devices but young enough that the best thing we can do is limit them to certain sites, so basically they only poke around on pbskids.org and play games or watch shows there. I'm not sure what I'll do when they start learning to explore more, but we definitely keep a loose eye on what they're up to whenever they're on any kind of computer no matter what.

Only parental controls we use currently is there's an old phone that the kids sometimes use which I locked down with Google Parental Controls to block most apps, downloaded some kids games (play pass is super good for kids games and can be shared amongst family members so $20/yr for all family members to have access to a ton of paid apps) and time limit them so they can't spend too much time when we aren't looking on the phone

This meme has been floating around for at least a decade at this point

Using ancient forbidden knowledge to summon Lovecraftian horrors may impede your childs development.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Carcinisation is the perfect form. Eventually they will take over the universe.

Edit: had a Douglas Adams thought, a line or two in an Adams’ History of the Universe about how crabs never quite made it, being thwarted by random and unfortunate acts of the universe and finally once again by the protagonists of the story. Oh, dear.

In HG Wells The Time Machine, the main character travels all the way to the very end of the world and the last creatures on the planet were some gigantic crabs before he travels forwards and finds a completely bare world

They feared the carcinisation of human race if crab gain the knowledge to read.

Crab men, half crab half man

Outside man, inside crab meat

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

It’s the only way to stop the crab computer AI hive entity from destroying all life.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, the forbidden knowledge.
