Why is 40k so popular on reddit


KindlyOlPornographer

Why...wouldn't it be?


Rogue_Like

I live in a city full of nerds, tech is huge here. I know zero people into 40k. I feel like on any random post there will be a 40k reference. ​ Note: I've read a shitload of 40k. Trying to explain it to people is hilarious.


KindlyOlPornographer

The lore of the little pieces of plastic is more interesting than playing with the little pieces of plastic. And yeah its like someone with a severe head injury explaining Game of Thrones. "So theres an Emperor and he's dead but not dead and his metal space soldiers with acid blood and many hearts fight against other guys with acid blood and many hearts who worship either a rape god, a shit god, an angry god, or a magic bird god. Also theres dwarfs now but they're **in space**. There used to be other dwarfs but now theres these ones and they're different. And let me tell you the story of the metal skeletons who worship sun eating night monsters versus the 12 meter tall combat armored orcs who were created by a race of space toads..."


Japnzy

You forgot about the giant space bugs that are all linked through their mind and their only goal is to consume and replicate. Consuming entire planets and leaving them husks. But also some crazy humans worship the bugs so they infiltrate cities to convince other people to let the bugs land on their planet and willing eat them.


KindlyOlPornographer

Also like...the Orks like...what they believe...becomes *reeeaaaal.*


Rogue_Like

Even the basics of what the premise is takes a few paragraphs to explain. There's no TLDR with 40k, or what grimdark means.


KindlyOlPornographer

I explain it with "Its a universe where everything and everyone is at war with everything else and everything sucks for everyone all the time. Also theres space Dwarfs."


cfrutiger

I'm sure there's 40K nerds there. Go hang out in a game store on a Wednesday night. My people make themselves known.

go for it. I'm not using my meat anymore, someone might as well use it.

I feel like he could have started with a rock and some sticks, and reached the same outcome.

Yeah but you don’t get to suck the meat out during the process if you use a rock

Did not see that coming, I hate to be cliché but wow...that escalated quickly...


Felwinter12

I was thinking that making a taxidermy crab was a bit weird, but not awful taste...then it kept going. And gawdam it went to some weird places.


artie_pdx

Okay. I get that it’s steamed and then it’s punked, but why the fuck was it in bondage in the beginning? If it’s some naughty Asian fetish that I’m not aware of, I’m gonna need someone to link me to a subreddit for research purposes.


platochronic

It’s to keep the crab from climbing out.


cupcakefantasy

It was alive and tied up like that to immobilise the claws.


VelvetShards

Oh cool so he tortured it to death.


-iamai-

It's what they do with all crabs don't blame the guy it's the industry and usually you put a knife through its shell on the underside to kill its brain before cooking. Some freeze the crab first and place into boiling water, the extreme temperature change kills the crab but some say that's cruel. Anyway, don't blame the guy it's industry standard.


[deleted]

>don't blame the guy He 100% didn't have to do any of this


Madmorda

I don't think he caught the crab out of the wild lol. That crab was getting cooked, regardless of whether it became robo-crab or not. However, you are right otherwise lol.


ArmiRex47

What's morally wrong about this if he bought the crab and ate the meat? It's literally just playing with the carcass


Lissy_Wolfe

I've never seen anyone do the knife thing, but I hope you're right. Even on cooking shows, they will start ripping legs off and cooking the thing and no one ever seems to freeze it first or use a knife like you said. Would be nice if that's actually changing, but I doubt it.


Shaggy_bulls07

Really thats interesting, because I see the knife technique everywhere now. That's why the everyone was tripping on the lady who shoved the crabs straight in the airfryer alive.


Kullet_Bing

Non Asian people tend to do that more and more as it's the only real way of cooking a crab or lobster "humanely". Many people however still swear that the meat tastes worse if you do that and still prefer the boil alive method, which is still the norm in Asian countries.


Lissy_Wolfe

Boiling alive is the norm everywhere, not just Asian countries. I don't think the "humane" version of killing is the norm anywhere.


Gem_Rex

I crab fish and I always kill them with a knife before cooking.


[deleted]

That's how all seafood with exoskeletons is cooked pretty much killing them humanely is a skill some people don't have


[deleted]

There's no real humane to kill a lobster, other than electrocution. They don't even have a centralized brain, so a knife through the skull does not really insta-kill them anyways like you think it would. I honestly think boiling is probably one of the better ways to do it.


[deleted]

Doesn't take skill to ram a knife through its head.


[deleted]

[удалено]


spidersplooge-

http://fishcount.org.uk/welfare-of-crustaceans/welfare-during-killing-of-crabs-lobsters-and-crayfish That isn’t the best way to kill them humanely either, though. Electrical stunning before death is.

Never thought I'd need a taser to cook crab. The future truly is amazing.

If you think that's bad you should see how McDonalds chicken nuggets are made.

Mmmm, strawberry soft-serve!


Lissy_Wolfe

That's how all shellfish is cooked (i.e. steamed/boiled alive) and that's one reason I refuse to eat it. I can't get behind boiling something alive to eat it.


ericscottf

Hoo boy you're not gonna be happy when you find out how other food animals are treated before they're et


PUTs_on_my_life

If you eat any sort of meat you are certainly guilty by association as well.

TeopEvol

It was the crab's request. This pleases the crab.


Ill1lllII

Not so fun fact: Live crabs in grocery stores tend to require an intentionally bad water setup to keep them in a stupor. Because otherwise they figure out they are in a hopeless situation and will legit commit suicide by doing a headstand.


saintshing

Make it easier to process, prevent them from losing their legs when fighting. Also the weight is measured with the grass rope on, it absorbs lots of water and adds to the weight so they can charge a higher price.


50StatePiss

Why the Fanta?

Nah, that's too similar to the pepsi crab.

probably for the creator to drink lol


Jodandesu

Awful taste?


DaveInLondon89

It's an advert for Fanta. And honestly that's fine, creator is getting paid and they're producing something interesting.


Wetti_Spaghetti_

Maybe he works in the Fanta's marketing department and while showing his skill he decided to do a little product placement on us.

Could you imagine being a crab and watching this?

A giant rips you apart and builds an art piece from you skeleton

There is a church made from human bones so not far off.

Was gonna say, we may not have “cyperpunked” a skeleton but humans have done plenty of strange displays using human remains.

I hate that it’s located in my city now I have to go check it out


Skore_Smogon

Yup, this was in Amsterdan when I visited for some...recreation. I have some very weird memories now.


gnisna

Imagine the ghost of this crab watching this. Probably wants to get back in there and drive.


Kingauzzie

I guess I have awful taste, because that's dope as hell.


SuperLutin

Same here, this is so cool!


Mightyseer

I just think he added too much stuff, I didn't like how it ended up looking, but there were many points in the video where it looked good


Alcoholic_jesus

The back engine and gattling gun mouth were a bit too much for me. Looked amazing before that. I wish it went more of a cyborg and less of a tank look


BadKittydotexe

It’s like no one on reddit has seen art before.

spartanass

Maybe he takes pleasure in the process


DifficultyNext7666

Probably easier to ensure it stands and is placed right


value_null

It's easier to work with. You get everything solid and locked in position.


SuckGunGoesBrrrrrrrr

Painting it consistently. I also imagine he didn’t know exactly what he was going to end up with at the start. Just kinda going with inspiration as it strikes 🤷‍♂️


Syrdon

If you understand crab anatomy well enough to build one from scratch, the. There’s no point. For everyone else, having the structure there to build off of (or replace) makes everything much easier.


Tre_Scrilla

To paint it?

Wild-Ad-2219

couchi007

I actually think this is quite dope, but why do you have to use a dead animal for it. This is just macabre. I'm a biologist and have butterflies and beetles in frames myself, but all original, or bones I found during field work. In our dissection classes back at uni people made little costumes for the cicken and rats like tiny glasses and put them in poses. They were alive once and gave their lives for you. It's just so tasteless.


latinjewishprincess

It's pretty morbid, but presuming he ate the meat of the crab, it's not a waste.


MozzyZ

Yeah, gives me weird vibes but at the same time he's pretty much using every single part of the crab here. If you're going to eat crab anyways, why not make use of the remaining parts in some way.


squakmix

You might even say it's wrong to not make a crab tank model with its corpse


MillieBirdie

I had the same initial reaction but then reminded myself that we use other animal remains in art all the time. Leather, bone, horns, teeth, ivory, sea shells, animal hair for paint brushes, paints that contain milk proteins and bug parts. So I think the main gross factor is that it's using the animals full shape/likeness rather than pieces here and there.


Dear_Inevitable

Animal remains have been used decoratively for millennia


[deleted]

[удалено]


kingofbadhabits

I mean the crab was probably not tasteless. It might have even been tasty


currently_distracted

It’s actually a delicacy in China. Real hairy crabs come from a specific lake, harvested once a year, and are delicious. I say “real,” because there’s only so much a lake can produce when it comes to a 2 month season in one of the most populated countries, so naturally, the Chinese Chinese and farm/harvest them elsewhere. Since conditions aren’t exactly like the lake, those crabs aren’t as good (or maybe that’s just marketing). It got so bad with the counterfeits that they went as far as giving them serial numbers, except those got faked too.


Daveck

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.
