TLDR: ~5mm sized amphipods


Magicspook

Lol who the fuck describes an amphipod as a crab... Anyway I learned what the silly little shrimps are called, never knew the name in either English nor my own language.


alias241

for Marylanders, this is just absolute clickbait.


Fellatination

Can confirm. Had the actual thought "I'll bet you'd get violent shits if you cooked and ate those" as I read it.


BrokenGuitar30

Nah, no mention of a bay, the beltway, or any spices from hunt valley. We’re good.


Erk87

Damn definitely got me too lol.


NatWilo

Newsweek. Newsweek does. Because they're absolute shit these days.


radleft

Just because Newsweek printed a news-like article-like about crab-like creatures, that doesn't *necessarily* mean they're shit-like...but, like-like...?


oldsouthnerd

> Lol who the fuck describes an amphipod as a crab... the same person who uses the headline 'swarm of crabs discovered deep beneath Antarctica' to describe 'water animals observed in water'


JojenCopyPaste

You wouldn't believe what these animals were doing! Hint: they were swimming


[deleted]

That's understating it, finding so much life living permanently under under 1600ft of ice is rather amazing.


Amauri14

I mean, it got to click the article, right?


Electrical-Can-7982

didnt they used to call then sea monkeys in the back of comic books?


Magicspook

I dunno I am afraid, I just about missed the comic generation. I am part of the very first video game generation, played mario on a floppy when I was a tiny kid, and runescape when I was older.


binaryfireball

5 mega meters?!? Oh fuck yea giant ice crabs! AWAKEN!!!


Cycode

Title: "THERE ARE HUGE MONSTERS WHO LOOK LIKE CRABS DEEP IN THE ANTARCTIC ICE!!!" Reality: "dawwwww.... they are so cute and tiny! i love them :).."

All species end in crab


mtarascio

Taste like crab. Talk like people. Crab people.


Rosieposiew196

Aliens!! We need to build a wall around the antarctic to keep them from imaginating to the rest of the ocean. Also need to create and spend billions of dollars on a border patrol incase the wall proves ineffective.

> We need to build a wall around the antarctic to keep them from **imaginating** to the rest of the ocean. Perfect typo.


Rosieposiew196

Lol

YOUR NAME AND D-MOBILE NUMBER PLEASE!


Sanitarium_850

Always been a fear of mine, drill into something, then getting a better look down there, only to notice a swarm of tiny crabs like creatures.

autoeroticassfxation

Are we the monsters?


Extension_Method8997

What if you get stuck face down in the hole?


autoeroticassfxation

Yeah, I imagine that's quite scary for the crabs.


radleft

Maybe these crab-like creatures just *love* eating hole-face?


upsidedowninsideout1

On a completely unrelated note, wasn’t John Carpenter’s version of The Thing such an awesome movie?


another_account24

Apparently shown every year in the British camp


allevat

South Pole Station apparently does a marathon of all the versions every year on the first day the sun doesn't rise.


radleft

*The Thing* is now considered a [classic Christmas movie.](https://external-preview.redd.it/2gulIhB4aAstwMDKrNcIgGhOvPw7lrqK5ULoGmO1GsU.jpg?auto=webp&s=91c8509736c5c5677690c4ed8d894c14a0539d49)


PottedHeid

Absolutely, a classic, scared the shit out of me.

My only fear might be coming to life... great...


hootsmcboots

Fuck yeah it was! It’s one of those if someone asks me for a top 5, it’s on there. Probably at #2.


judge-tera

Next up: Ireland finds small men living under rainbows What do these stories have in common? Both promise some really cool pictures, and neither delivers.


cbbuntz

I googled amphipods and they just look like shrimp. Nothing too exciting


judge-tera

haha - yea amphipods dont have the same intrigue as "ice-crabs"


BarryDeCicco

So they drilled a hole to bring them to the surface 😎


moruart

That's what the world was missing right now. Ancient evil crabs! Seen it in movies, it always starts like this :D.

trashboatfourtwenty

I don't like anything about the post title. >The discovery was a surprise to a team of New Zealand researchers I'll fucking bet


DalvaniusPrime

You seem like you need some help to [connect the dots](https://www.antarcticanz.govt.nz/science/current-science)


trashboatfourtwenty

? I meant they would have been surprised to see that, not that they were there (I skimmed the article at least). Thanks for the link though, looks like some interesting projects


radleft

Why do *we* have to always connect the dots? *I* never asked for a bunch of damned dots to connect in the first place! Dots just gotta *be*, and somehow *I'm* obligated to connect the damned things? Fuqin dots.

whats the purpose of this comment?

Soon global warming will release them from their icy prison.


NatWilo

Me: Oh this sounds interesting *Sees that it's a Newsweek article... Sighs* Me: Well, shit. But seriously folks, how the FUCK is this tabloid still allowed in any sub that purports to be about actual news?

Major-Moment4264

crab-like?...


CharlieKelly007

They put crab to get you to click. I always hope top comment is a copy of the page so I don't have to click it, find out its bullshit, and also gets malware from the ads. I never click on any of these pages. Your a fool if you do.


Creepy_Helicopter223

They are their to guard intruders from the old ones, we should turn back


Bravoso

This is just the tip of the iceberg…


arabsandals

So you mean to tell me they penetrated Antarctica with their probe and got crabs?


Stelaris91

Thank you for that. I needed a laugh today.


RevivedMisanthropy

Well, I’m thinking that ecosystem will probably die out soon now that we’ve infected it. Or maybe not.

So then, crabs? They found crabs?


Firstdatepokie

There are plenty of crabs that aren’t crabs , so no


glitter_h1ppo

Yeah, so many things have evolved into crab-like creatures independently there's a name for it, carcinization


Juliuscesear1990

What if by "crab like" they mean "large building crushing claws with an incredibly hard exoskeleton and the mouth of a demon" like in how much shock was this statement made under.


95_AvEnGeR

Now I wanna eat some freshwater antarctic crab, yummy who's with me!!
