I think he's overcompensating for something with that shell.

Is there a subreddit dedicated to just tiny stuff? I would sub the crap out of that.
Edit: A word

dirtyhamstain · 2012-10-29T15:46:03+00:00

The thumbnail looks like a dirty q-tip

At first glance this thumbnail looks like a side view of a guy holding his knob on a beach.

Anon_Y_Mous_PDX · 2012-10-29T19:23:13+00:00

Or...very large pubic crab.

CaseByCase · 2012-10-29T22:04:20+00:00

I was in the Caribbean one summer, and found a number of tiny shells on the beach, about the size of the one in the pic or smaller. I collected a few dozen, not even bothering to check inside because silly me didn't expect something so small to live in them. Once back on our sailboat, I dumped them on deck to admire them.

In the hot tropical sun, one by one, teeny tiny hermit crabs began to emerge. I was thrilled; they were adorable, just crawling around, under and over each other, on the deck. My delight soon turned to dismay.

It was too hot out. The crabs began to crawl completely out of their shells as they baked in the heat. Their strange, spiral-shaped bodies squirmed uncomfortably. I was young, but aware enough to know that they would soon die. In a last-ditch effort to save the baby hermit crabs, I picked each one up gently, throwing them back into the sea one at a time. There'd they'd stand a chance.

It was as I threw the very last one over the side of the boat, that I looked down into the water. A school of fish had gathered, chomping up each and every crab as I tossed them into the ocean.

TL;DR I accidentally murdered a ton of baby hermit crabs.

neatjane · 2012-10-29T23:26:38+00:00

For some odd reason...let's say it was alcohol, for lack of a better word. I placed an innocent hermit crab on my tummy, it went to my belly button. It pinched me, I flexed. It pinched me, I flexed. It pinched me, I flexed. No one was winning. I could not relax. Poor guy was stuck. I threw my hot tea on myself. Let's say both of us were never the same..... Do not fuck with the hermit crab!

Hermit crabs are so adorable. When I was smaller, my siblings and I had pet hermit crabs. When they grew, we would find larger shells so they could switch homes. Then we'd take them out of the tank and play with them. My one and only childhood pet, RIP Hermy.

When we were on holiday in France a few weeks ago the beach was crawling with millions of minute hermit crabs, some so small you could hardly see.

HisRoyalHippo · 2012-10-29T23:53:26+00:00

From the thumbnail it looks like a small joint.

antifogmatic · 2012-10-29T23:56:29+00:00

Twist: OP is a giant; crab is normal sized

You're not fooling me op.

eyedrop_hearts · 2012-10-30T00:11:59+00:00

Even though some are that tiny, they sure do still pinch hard. My first job when I was 15 was at an aquarium giftshop and my one job was to take care of the hermit crabs and to sell them to bratty kids who would never take care of them properly and bring them back 2 days later telling me it just mysteriously died. The worst, and saddest part of it all was how the hermit crabs would come in. They came in a small cardboard box that was usually soaked in a corner or two by the time it got from Maine to us. There would be about 50 crabs of various sizes all packed in together with no room to move, in a rubber twine-like bag. On the first day my boss showed me how to unwrap a package of them in the back sink. Her first comment was, after opening the box, "sometimes the small ones fall down the drain, don't worry." Yeah, they may not be a dog or a cat that can vocalize pain or anything, but come on, it's still cruel.

campoanywhere · 2012-10-29T20:14:15+00:00

Some Costa Rica locals called those shells 'Tamarindo Tokers'. You'd snap off the pointy end, put a little pinch of, er, smokables in the open end and fire away. This was of course in Tamarindo.

Cool story bro.

I like the idea that this tiny insignificant hermit crab will never know or care that its picture was shown to the masses and appreciated by thousands of people. Now it will go on with its short life unaffected by its sudden and temporary fame, far beyond its level of comprehension.
