The Pressure Gets to Mr. Crab

Imagine: 6000’ under water, a robotic saw slices a 3mm wide slit in a surface pressure pipe.

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a video of something wandering near that slit, say… an unsuspecting Mr. Crab just out on his daily constitutional?

Well, here you go. (loads automatically)

Too bad it's on port 8090. Work firewall blocks anything up that high

Damn that sucks...couldn't resist. But honestly, isn't this what the internet was created for? e-commerce my ass. Give me video of crabs getting violently snapped in half and sucked into an industrial pipe any day of the week.

I love America.

Jeff: It's exactly what your mind is imagining. And yes, outside of porn, this is precisely what the internet is for. Stupid, devoid of merit, but seeing it scratched a deep itch I never knew I even had.

As crabs to wanton robotic pipecutters, we are to the gods;
They have us snapped in half and sucked into underwater pipes for sport.
And post the videos on the internet.

After trying to post a comment at least 10 times, I gave up. What's with this comments crisis?

Not only was that crab sucked into the cut, but he got sawed a little first. You can see a piece of shell left next to the saw after he's gone.

I bet the crab was investigating the noise from the saw. This must happen all the time...

Do crabs have ears?

If so, are they that curious?

Reminds me of a dinner I enjoyed with a former associate, on a business trip.

He didn't leave any meat in those claws either, but it took him longer.

I really thought that cutting a pipe with that much of a presure gradient was asking for disaster. Just as the crab was shredded through the 1/10 inch slit other nasty consequences could have ensued.

Deep sea explorers like those who visit the Titanic know that a crack means that the water pouring in will slice through human flesh like a hot knife through butter. Of course, right after that they'll get squished to jelly.

That's Mr. Krabs to you and you just know Spongebob is gonna need a leather couch and a fistful of Valium after seeing this.

So that scene from Alien Resurrection was realistic.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.

Oh, but then, you never were afraid

Oh, but it's alright with me now

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
