Holy shit, why would a crab rip his own arm off?

[–]BroseidonZ 45 points46 points ago

Cause he doesn't give a fuck

[–]DerpyDave 10 points11 points ago

Good point.

[–]Doc88 0 points1 point ago

Well shit that explains everything. Ha!

[–]OleicAcid 14 points15 points ago

It was damaged in a fight with another animal if I remember correctly. I think it was a bird.

Crabs regenerate limbs quickly, so it gave no cares.

[–]Joseph445 6 points7 points ago

I wish I could rip off my limbs and grow new ones. That way I would never go hungry.

[–]Saganomics 1 point2 points ago

Takes more energy to grow an arm than you get if you eat one.

[–]leon945 0 points1 point ago

But maybe you're in an emergency, and you need to eat or die. And once you've eaten you can get to a more stable situation where you can eat normal food.

Bird mangled the arm because the crab was trying to take its eggs. Crab amputates it because then it grows back over a year.

some infection in his arm

[–]Timid_Pimp 2 points3 points ago

Now, I may give a fuck.

[–]Hamster307 3 points4 points ago

God damn it that is terrifying. Guess what I'm gonna dream about now?

[–]KevinGenoves3 3 points4 points ago

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK FUCK WHY DOES WHY PEOPLE

[–]Dr_Adopted 1 point2 points ago

Sweet buttery Allah.

[–]Doc88 1 point2 points ago

Does this type of animal feel pain when it does this to itself?

[–]n1i2e3 0 points1 point ago

It terrifies me. I always think he is doing what he has to because of some pain or infection.

[–]Brudus 0 points1 point ago

Piccolo did it first.

[–]wanderso24 0 points1 point ago

Whenever I'm out at the bar and some dude wants to fight me this is what I do. Nobody will mess with a dude that rips his own arm off. I learned this crazy technique from Hey Arnold.
