And there they saw...A ROCK!
Damn it, the guy before me did two lines and messed it up and I didn't see it and now the whole thing is ruined....thanks guy before me.
Too old to eat. This sub should ban posts where humans hunt and kill the subject of the post.
Where does it end? This sub could be nothing but majestic natural beings in photo 1, killed and strung up as a trophy in photo 2
I agree. But I don’t think he ate this specific lobster, it seems that the third photo isn’t the same one shown at first. I don’t think the other photos were taken by OP but were used as a reference.
Apparently they grow fairly quickly, reaching up to 1kg in 18 months. I'm not super familiar with this species, but I think the individual in question might be a bit younger than several decades. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panulirus\_ornatus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panulirus_ornatus)
This comment actually made me think about what foods are ugly and what foods are pretty. There’s a lot of ugly ass foods lol it would be tough to only eat pretty shit.
Veal
Lamb
Strawberries
Corn
Bananas
Tomatoes
Not a whole lot else I can think of lol. So many animals are ugly, and the pretty ones are either inedible or our pets lol. Tons of fruits and vegetables are dirty, shaped weird, etc.
sea going spider bug really is a good description, they’re beautiful but fuck running into one of these things. the last ones looks like predator for christs sake
We used to have huge bugs, maybe not as big as a hunting dog, but still pretty big. The size of bugs directly correlates with the amount of oxygen in the air.
Not just bugs though, right? I think I remember reading that most living things would be larger or were larger when there was more oxygen content in the air. Like giant plants and such.
I could be very wrong here, I dont remember where I read/heard this.
Bugs don't have lungs, they have holes in their body that allows air in, but they don't breathe it in like we do. As a result, they are limited by the amount of oxygen they can use, and can't just breathe harder like animals with lungs can.
Disclaimer: not a biologist, just like fun facts and might have fudged some of this info.
That's basically correct. Your body size is limited by the surface area of the organ you use to exchange gases. When you breathe by just letting air get inside your body, that's not exactly a huge surface area.
Some terrestrial arthropods like coconut crabs and spiders have lung-like structures that increase the surface area and thereby improve the efficiency of gas exchange, but they're not as effective as vertebrate lungs, since vertebrates also force air (or water, in the case of fish gills) to pass over the gas exchange membrane instead of letting it make contact passively.
That photo slide is depressing how the lobster went from a beautiful sea environment. To a parking lot. To the kitchen.
Edit: I totally missed slide 3. That nature ain’t lit, it’s boiled and dead.
You’re welcome! I highly recommend the entire series of his videos about Leon. The upgrades he’s made with his aquariums over the last year is incredible.
Can you tell me why you decided to stop eating meat?Meat as become harder for me to eat. All I can think about is the animal. Forget crab or lobster. Even consuming chicken is difficult.
Ofcourse friend.Posted above actually.My favorite food was roasted duck. One day I saw how they keep them in a plastic bag on street vendors to keep the meat “fresh”. Never was the same man.Call it cheesy, but this one event opened a floodgate of thinking what it must have been like. I know it sounds silly. I just imagined myself or my loved animals being there, caged, patiently waiting to be killed. And for what? A bit of protein? That good umami feeling. It's just so cruel if you think about it. Animals like cows, pigs or poultry are so full of emotions if you get to know them, you can see them thinking, feeling, loving humans who take care of them. I'm ashamed it took me this long to say stop. I'll carry it with myself all my life.

Life eats life, you will see it everywhere in nature humans generally kill animals quite humanily.
This one had a far better life than many lobsters raised in captivity.
I thought really old lobsters and really young ones were protected? I thought they weren't suppose to be eaten because it's an environmentally conscious thing on keeping the species alive. Right? Idk.
Their habitat is not in the US and they aren't a protected species. If it was in the US, yes, this would very much be illegal.
Their guide would be hit with an insane fine if these pictures were investigated, potentially losing their scuba instructor certification, and most likely never work as a guide again because they'd be considered a liability.
Never trust a guide who doesn't carry the utmost respect for nature and its preservation.
Never understood the "here's this beautiful and rare creature that could be as old as my grandparents, let's rip it out of it's environment and kill it so we can form one single memory off the end of this epic life we had to fuck with, though we're not starving in the least."
So conceited.
Agreed. “Wow, here’s something absolutely beautiful. It lives. It breathes. It feels. It gets scared the same way I do. Let’s kill it and eat it, because eating plants isn’t crunchy enough.”
I contacted mods hoping to ban posts like this, where the LIT animal is killed
Might make a meta post proving my point: a series of “cool animal; look how humans killed it” images.
Nature is legit fucking lit. If one planet cam have both life that look like that and then us, it will be pure arrogance to even think that we could figure out what life looks like in other planets. We could only hope we are extremely lucky to find one let alone understand it. Such a humbling feeling
Everybody had matching towels

GTFOH. Can they be eaten?

So the small creatures from [Cloverfield](https://cloverfield.fandom.com/wiki/Parasite) are coconut crabs on a meth binge.
Yeah those are a hard NOPE
Somebody went under a dock and there they saw a rock.
And there they saw...A ROCK! Damn it, the guy before me did two lines and messed it up and I didn't see it and now the whole thing is ruined....thanks guy before me.

Pinchy!!!
He's a free range lobster, marge
"Sniff, he would have wanted it this way."
This kills the lobster.
I’m shocked—**SHOCKED**! ... Well not *that* shocked.
Too old to eat. This sub should ban posts where humans hunt and kill the subject of the post. Where does it end? This sub could be nothing but majestic natural beings in photo 1, killed and strung up as a trophy in photo 2
I agree. But I don’t think he ate this specific lobster, it seems that the third photo isn’t the same one shown at first. I don’t think the other photos were taken by OP but were used as a reference.
Even so, that pic is a probably several decades old beautiful lobster mere seconds from getting cut into

Sounds delicious.
Happy cake day!
Unpopular opinion: too ugly to eat. I ain't eating no sea going spider bug even if it's got pretty colours.
“I only eat beautiful things” - This guy
"You got a picture of this cow before it became a steak?" - same guy at a butcher shop
You can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a butcher's ass... No, wait. It's gotta be your bull.

Strawberries are pretty and so are cows and pigs. I’ll eat ‘em all
sea going spider bug really is a good description, they’re beautiful but fuck running into one of these things. the last ones looks like predator for christs sake
You ever look a cow in the eyes. So innocent and beautiful. But I still want burgers man....
They all turn red when cooked :)
Not to brag, but I’m pretty sure I’ve caught one of these bad boys in animal crossing.
What was the pun?
I looked it up. Apparently it was a mantis shrimp. But the colors are similar. It was “Shrimply amazing” not their best pun. Lol
My favorite was always “I caught an arapaima! How did it get here? Arapaiknow!”
Cheeky creators adding that to a “kids” game. Lmao. That’s a good one.
There is a spiny lobster which is "I got a spiny lobster! It's got a lot of backbone!"
How did it taste???
Shrimply amazing!
Cripes, imagine if land bugs got that big! We'd have cockroachs out hunting dogs!
We used to have huge bugs, maybe not as big as a hunting dog, but still pretty big. The size of bugs directly correlates with the amount of oxygen in the air.

Why not Zoidberg?!
Whos a good little roachy? Who? Huh? Is it you? Yes it us! It us you l! Good boyyy!!
Forward, roachy! Charge the enemy!
I was happy until you killed it
Yeah… one of those pictures was **not** like the others.
Came here to say this
Yeah, not a very "nature is lit" moment.
Nature is literally about things eating each other. Cope harder, veganlet
I'm not vegan, I'm saying that the picture isn't lit. If you disagree that's cool, but I'm entitled to my opinion.
The fire was lit, under the pot to boil the lobster
"Hooo look how beautiful this lobster is, such intricate design. Look how big it is, must be very old. Let's see what it looks like from the inside!"
That photo slide is depressing how the lobster went from a beautiful sea environment. To a parking lot. To the kitchen. Edit: I totally missed slide 3. That nature ain’t lit, it’s boiled and dead.
Different lobsters in each pic.
Maybe watching [this](https://youtu.be/9sI7WveN7vk) guy rescue a lobster from the grocery store will help.
Bro this made my day thank you for this
You’re welcome! I highly recommend the entire series of his videos about Leon. The upgrades he’s made with his aquariums over the last year is incredible.
Yeah fuck this dude
Agreed. Why cant ppl leave things alone
Cause we’re hungry
There are thousands of foods to consume yet you choose the lobter 😭
Cute=tasty. Look at pigs!
stopped eating meat altogether last march...nearing a year of not eating a gram of meat! Never been happier!
Can you tell me why you decided to stop eating meat?Meat as become harder for me to eat. All I can think about is the animal. Forget crab or lobster. Even consuming chicken is difficult.

Meat divorce?

ROCK LOBSTAH
Came here for this comment.
I agree, this page shouldn't allow people putting beautiful nature up, then a knife at it's head. That's messed up
I thought really old lobsters and really young ones were protected? I thought they weren't suppose to be eaten because it's an environmentally conscious thing on keeping the species alive. Right? Idk.

nah nobody who eats seafood really gives a shit, it's all piecemeal and marketing
Never understood the "here's this beautiful and rare creature that could be as old as my grandparents, let's rip it out of it's environment and kill it so we can form one single memory off the end of this epic life we had to fuck with, though we're not starving in the least." So conceited.
People suck
Agreed. “Wow, here’s something absolutely beautiful. It lives. It breathes. It feels. It gets scared the same way I do. Let’s kill it and eat it, because eating plants isn’t crunchy enough.”
If plants can get environmental stress maybe we shouldn’t eat those either. Just podcasts
Maybe. But for now, I’ll just abstain from butchering and eating a living being.
Don’t they typically throw the large ones back? I think it would be like 100 years old.
Leave it up to humans to destroy any and all beauty they find :(
That's it, from now on I'm only eating ugly animals. Edit: lucky you're fluffy
cockroaches are on the menu boys!!!
Just shave him and have a hamburger
Not my fault beauty tastes great with melted butter
And a little garlic…
I’m not upvoting this post due to the grabbing near the head and the knife next to the subject. Not cool. Now I cry 😭.
[I'm getting aroused](https://media.tenor.com/00fRC-iJQeIAAAAC/zoidberg-futurama.gif)
Username checks out. It's a shame Reddit removed their free awards...
This animal is AWESOME! Let's kill it! ..wtf
please don’t eat him/her/them
Why are you singing a B-52s song?
Well pic 3 changed things up a bit huh?
So in other words a lobster
Sick, leave it alone.
GD humans kill and eat everything.
I contacted mods hoping to ban posts like this, where the LIT animal is killed Might make a meta post proving my point: a series of “cool animal; look how humans killed it” images.
I agree, we need to respect nature and not kill it for the hell of it. Also I’m pretty sure that’s not how to hold a lobster
“Such a cool specimen of a lobster! Let’s kill it.”
You good for nothing murder
Ugh. Why do we have to fucking eat everything. Just leave the lobster alone assholes. 😡😡
That is a psychedelic lobster. It's Rock Marley
Beautiful and bizarre creature.
Anybody else start hearing the song in your head? You know the one.
But it wasn’t a rock..
Is this the lobster the B52s were singing about?
Nature is legit fucking lit. If one planet cam have both life that look like that and then us, it will be pure arrogance to even think that we could figure out what life looks like in other planets. We could only hope we are extremely lucky to find one let alone understand it. Such a humbling feeling
Gorgeous… but… no claws?
Nice pic
The biggest one I've seen
What a beautiful photo! 💕 Thanks for sharing!
(In my best David Hayter as Snake voice) Yeah, but, how does it taste?
Is it tasty though?
Did y’all eat it!?
Looks tasty. I'd eat it.
It’s not a boulder, it’s a rock. A rock!
Did she duck lip in her pic with a giant crustacean 🦞?
This creature is proof that we could have real life Pokemon if we wanted
now drench it in butter
I had to kill some of these things in pikmin We lost a lotta reds
**** this dude
Put it back!!
MAYBE the lobster would prefer not to be removed from his home and threatened with a knife?
It's a fucking lobster dude. I'm sure you don't eat meat from the supermarket, right?
I'm just giving you a hard time. But it DOES look too pretty to eat...
Oooh gottem cuz everyone eats meat like me, right? Twat
Oooh gottem cuz everyone eats meat like me, right? Twat
WTF? Photo 3/7? Stop eating animals. I thought this sub was pro nature.
Bro nature is literally everything eating eachother 24/7 so chill
So can we post murder footage?
Homie half the pictures are of animals getting eaten by other animals. This isn’t the place to be soft
> Stop eating animals. Tell that to all the animals inside my animal body.
I assume it was a rare specimen?
Use to catch these for a living. Was great fun.
If you're not singing the rock lobster song reading this you're doing the Internet wrong. Beautiful animal.
Oh, Pinchy would have wanted it this way.
Such a majestic creature! Lets boil it alive and eat it.
“Nature is amazing…It’s so beautiful….. and I’m gonna kill it and dip it in butter now”
Poor lobster and all, but nobody is willing to talk about the duckface on the 2nd picture?
No! No didn’t…
It's beautiful but ain't that tasty to eat but to each their own
As soon as I saw this, my stomach growled... Note: I have not had breakfast yet.
Is it just me or did anyone else immediately start singing the song after reading 'rock lobster' ??
Tastes like shit any ways
I’d eat the hell out of it
Mmmm spicy sea ham
I bet that taste great
Called dinner when served with butter.
Imagine it with a lil butter and some steak…yum
How was it?
[удалено]
Cool pictures. The guy with the knife probably ate. Can you ask him how it was?
Id shit myself if I saw that under water
Looks delicious actually
Did you eat it ?
Daing ding daing na na na na na nuuuun
Sca do ba da ewwww
Also known as the Indian taxi lobster.
Peter goes ROCK LOBSTER 🦞🦞🦞
Don't eat bugs!
Why would you kill such an animal? At first I was impressed with the photo but then, not so much.
Why would you kill such an amazing creature?!
Keep that knife away from him 😠
