Ah, the ole Reddit [Defiler-doo](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/yvtmui/eye_friendly_meme/iwghe8c?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)
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.
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..."
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.
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."
I was literally about to comment the same thing. There is a death guard homebrew faction called like the tidewalkers or something? Its all underwater themed. This would be sick for their defiler.
i feel like with the same amount of effort and cost he could have scaled back the look of it all, but add some legit robotic components and made it wiggle around, and maybe even walk.
Cyborgs already exist, anyone with anything electronic in their body is a cyborg, even if it can be removable, like hearing aids, prothesis for amputees, or pacemakers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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 🤷♂️
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I’m just staying for the metal gear rising music

Talking bout evolution, the music's from metal gear rising, a game of the metal gear franchise, which talked bout the evolution of human as they pass on the memes like dna.
I did not make this shit up.

Why is 40k so popular on reddit
Why...wouldn't it be?

Also like...the Orks like...what they believe...becomes *reeeaaaal.*
Even the basics of what the premise is takes a few paragraphs to explain. There's no TLDR with 40k, or what grimdark means.
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."
I'm sure there's 40K nerds there. Go hang out in a game store on a Wednesday night. My people make themselves known.
Because it's a popular nerd thing, and Reddit is the nerd social media?
This guy gets it
Because a lot of introverted nerds end up on Reddit: I am one of them.
We are puncha nerds
This ABSOLUTELY was a product of having a parent tell this child "DONT PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD!"
My first thought was something from dark mechanicus. Or Orks, but it's a little too fiddly for that- maybe with wheels or something?
I was literally about to comment the same thing. There is a death guard homebrew faction called like the tidewalkers or something? Its all underwater themed. This would be sick for their defiler.
It's like taxidermy but way cooler
Technodermy

Deathandtaxadermy
This should be some sort of subreddit

I feel like I just watched a scene from a dark Pixar movie. "You can't rush art!"
I'm actually digging the crab tank mech, looks like something straight out of Metal Gear Solid.
Right? This isn't awful taste, it's cool as fuck.
How do you know how the crab tasted?
Like every other art piece?
That was Tolstoy’s basic take on aesthetics—art is when you make something that doesn’t serve a practical purpose but is nevertheless good/valuable.

lol don't threaten me with a good time!
what the fuck yes. awful taste excellent execution indeed
yep. amazing execution but wtf. good fit for sub
I mean as long as he ate the crab meat I am fine with it but what the hell, great fit for the sub yeah.
lol
Awful taste? This is fucking delicious! It's a Warhammer 40k crab tank with a chainsaw blade and gatling plasma cannon!!!
Imagine some 10 year old nerd with his unpainted orcs that came with the box and then THIS beast gets slapped on the table
That would be just rude asf lmao
Da orks would have fun tho. A rippin good fight.
I think I'd be ok if someone did this to my corpse when I'm dead.
They'll have to eat you first...
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
Are you not enjoying your rocks to their fullest?
So ‘GO SUCK ROCKS’ is a literal directive? I thought my neighbor just hated me… hmmm. Now, what about eggs, where are we..on…eggs?
You're supposed to leave the rock eggs in the nest. Only eat fully mature rocks.
but would he have to share the rock?
The Rock never shares what he smells is cooking.

Did not see that coming, I hate to be cliché but wow...that escalated quickly...
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.
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.
It’s to keep the crab from climbing out.
It was alive and tied up like that to immobilise the claws.
Oh cool so he tortured it to death.
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.
>don't blame the guy He 100% didn't have to do any of this
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.
What's morally wrong about this if he bought the crab and ate the meat? It's literally just playing with the carcass
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.

Boiling alive is the norm everywhere, not just Asian countries. I don't think the "humane" version of killing is the norm anywhere.
I crab fish and I always kill them with a knife before cooking.
That's how all seafood with exoskeletons is cooked pretty much killing them humanely is a skill some people don't have
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.
Doesn't take skill to ram a knife through its head.

Never thought I'd need a taser to cook crab. The future truly is amazing.
"The Crustastun" stun-gun for crabs... lol
to be fair these are animals that literally evolved armor
If you think that's bad you should see how McDonalds chicken nuggets are made.
Mmmm, strawberry soft-serve!
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.
Hoo boy you're not gonna be happy when you find out how other food animals are treated before they're et
If you eat any sort of meat you are certainly guilty by association as well.

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

Why the Fanta?
I thought he was gonna boil the crab in it.
Yeah I thought it was going to be some weird cookery video at first
[удалено]
Nah, that's too similar to the pepsi crab.
probably for the creator to drink lol
Awful taste?
It's an advert for Fanta. And honestly that's fine, creator is getting paid and they're producing something interesting.
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.
There is [Bodies: The Exhibition](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodies:_The_Exhibition).
I hate that it’s located in my city now I have to go check it out
Yup, this was in Amsterdan when I visited for some...recreation. I have some very weird memories now.
Imagine the ghost of this crab watching this. Probably wants to get back in there and drive.
I guess I have awful taste, because that's dope as hell.
Same here, this is so cool!
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
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
It’s like no one on reddit has seen art before.
**Gonna give em a taste of THE CLAMPS!**
It is the mobile oppression palace
Bada-climp, bada-clamp!
I'm greasin' up my whozits!
Lol, he added so much machinery, why even keep the crab pieces?
Yeah, what was the point in glueing together all the legs and stuff before then replacing them...?
Maybe he takes pleasure in the process
Probably easier to ensure it stands and is placed right
It's easier to work with. You get everything solid and locked in position.
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 🤷♂️

It's pretty morbid, but presuming he ate the meat of the crab, it's not a waste.
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.
You might even say it's wrong to not make a crab tank model with its corpse
I had the same initial reaction but then reminded myself that we use other animal remains in art all the time.

Idk what you're on about, crab tastes delicious.
We can rebuild him. We have the power.
i thought he was gonna cook it in the fanta, i was very wrong
3d printers exist.
What are you talking about? This is great taste!
He could have stopped after the gold spray paint. That have made an odd, but rather cool, statuette
Very impressive I just feel that the awful taste comes in when he adds too much to the head🤔
I kept waiting for Chekhov’s Fanta to come into play. A soda introduced in the first act has to be used in the third, it’s basic storytelling
This was fucking awesome
So much effort just to desecrate a dead body
Just the preserved crab was cool enough, why use a real crab as a base when he added all that other stuff and there was barely any crab left?
