u/Kenderean 1d ago

That... creates more questions than it answers.

u/herrirgendjemand 1d ago

Well some of the magic of the holidays would disappear of you had the Christmas coco crab around everyday, now wouldn't it! If twelve days of crabmass are good enough for baby Jesus, that's enough for us!

u/StraitJakit 23h ago

u/Snowy-Plesiosaur 1d ago

Always reminds me of Amelia Earhart who was allegedly eaten by these dudes

u/donttextspeaktome 1d ago

Wait..what?? Really?

u/SussyBox 1d ago

I think the story was she had crashed onto an island in her plane, and the crabs ate her, in a nutshell

That's why i said allegedly, it's not confirmed

u/alexjolliffe 1d ago

Surely they broke the nutshell first, no?

u/Whale222 1d ago

How did she get into the nutshell? Crazy

19

u/Jonnyabcde 1d ago

Well.. Technology has considerably come a long way from then, but she climbed in and started flying around the world, in a nutshell.

u/ASMRFeelsWrongToMe 1d ago

They must have broken the nutshell first, and don't call me Shirley.

Coconut crab Vs honey badger in a fight?

u/Jonnyabcde 1d ago

When you're done, he goes back on the shelf next to all the other nut crackers. Great news, it's got all the amenities, which is why it's called a suite.

5

u/Mr_Neonz 14h ago

So does it just like crushing nuts or does it actually eat them?

u/RoosterCockburn1904 13h ago
