Comment on conservation
Liz@midwest.social 2 months agoI would like to add that it’s this process plus a little bit of chaos. No one is being nice when it’s time to start switching, and crabs can stuck in a smaller shell than the one they started in when it’s all said and done.

Or worse yet, a shell that doesn’t work. Since sometimes the shells get damaged, so one crab throws away a perfectly good shell, and the one next in line takes it, leaving a crack den filled with thermites behind.

Thermites?? What kind of shell we talkin’ here? Artillery?

“crack den” didn’t raise an eyebrow but “thermites” did? You found 50% of the jokes at least

Mehr, “crack den” is a pretty common way of describing a ratty household, which is what OP was alluding to. Thermites on the other hand… Very uncommon.
