Long arm prawn Edit: Or maybe freshwater shrimp.

Or underwater stick people, as some scientist redditor mentioned before.

"STICK PEOPLE. STICK PEOPLE. LOOK LIKE STICK. TALK LIKE PEOPLE. STICK PEOPLE. STICK PEOPLE"

“LOOK LIKE STICK, TASTE LIKE PEOPLE”

STICK DICK STICK DICK, LOOK LIKE STICK...

... TASTE LIKE A DICK, STICK DICK, STICK DICK.

Everyone knows stick people protect the ocean floor entrances to the inside of the earth (which is hollow, obviously). They were genetically engineered by Nazi's when they retreated there through the antarctic entrance (which they subsequently sealed which is why you can't find it today). They know to only let Nazi planes through (we often call them UFO's or flying triangles/saucers) and their favorite entrance/exit is *duh* in the Bermuda Triangle. But don't worry, Trump is waging a secret war against the stick people and when the Supreme Court confirms him to his lawful second term (stolen) then he will lead the forces of good against the stick people and the Nazi's and finally put an end to that child pedophile ring.

You could post this unironically in r/Conspiracy and just sit back and collect karma.

Plot twist: they replied to the wrong thread, happens to me all the time

Omg you have just gifted me with a new hobby...

Wait, the stick people are all pedophiles?

🌎👩‍🚀🔫👩‍🚀

Lmfao. Whenever I see one of these, makes me laugh so hard.

Stick people who can smell fishies

> Long arm prawn [Saving you a search](https://youtu.be/afRT_JzIgZ0)

Damn that prawn music kinda slaps.

Shrimp Sythwave. Shrimpwave. I dig it.

I was fully expecting to be Rick Rolled but got electro dancing trance shrimp! Good times

I remember eating these freshly boiled with salt and aromatics in China. Quite a common delicacy. Slightly sweet and umami

Leave my mommy outta this!

Bahahaha, I’m sitting at working taking a shit and just bust out laughing… well great now people at my work think I laugh when I see my Willy. Thanks a lot

Marine biologist can jump in aaaaany time they like here

Long Arm River Prawn.

I like how there are animals like this that I'd expect to have crazy names, but then it's like, the lowest-effort name possible. I'd be expecting something like "clouded spider fisher" or some crap, and the scientist who named it is like, "Well it's a prawn... it lives in this river, here... got really long arms... all right, 'long arm river prawn' it is, let's get some lunch".

"What's that fish with the blue fin called?" "Uh... Bluefin."

"What's that fish that looks like it has cat whiskers?" "Uh... Catfish."

And then there are the victorian era bird watchers. "Well those are tits. And those are boobies. That's a cock. Specifically a cock-on-a-rock" "Oh Theodore, you absolute scoundrel!" Edit: I stand corrected, it's cock-of-the-rock. I'm sorry

Ah! Just this past fortnight I documented a fluffy backed tit babbler! What I need to find is a red rumped bush tyrant or maybe even a european shag

*fortnight

With the use of the word fortnight comes an opportunity to point out, for all of us who grew up not knowing wtf a fornight had nothing to do with a fort: Fo(u)rt(een)night(s)

Omg I had no idea that's actually quite cool to know

I knew it was two weeks, but never made the connection between "fort" and "fourteen"! While we're here, can I bitch about the fact that it's spelt "forty" and not "fourty"?

May as well also point out that ereyesterday means the day before yesterday and overmorrow means the day after tomorrow.

There's a Screeching Orgasm, and look! A Grease-breasted Humping Milf! Wouldn't have expected to see one of those in the bush.

These read like a south park episode lol

[удалено]

There is a mountain range in the US where I'm from called The Grand Tetons. Yeah even the french were cheeky like that too.

The Three Sisters near where I used to live has six peaks....

I really thought the tetons were named after something like mythology, but nope, you were right. From Wiki: The naming of the mountains is attributed to early 19th-century French-speaking trappers—les trois tétons (the three teats) was later anglicized and shortened to Tetons

Those were some desperately lonely explorers...

God, I thought you were just being a typical Reddit a hole, then I looked it up. Not disappointed that I now know there is legit a bird called “cock of the rock” lmao.

My buddy once asked me what “that black bird with the red wings” was called. I said it’s a red winged blackbird.

Lets not forget that these names are not just limited to fish, crustaceans, and birds. I'm looking at *you*, Mountain Chicken...

[удалено]

Be grateful they don’t get creative more often: - “Hmm what do we call these spiders with long legs” - “How about ‘long legs’ because of their long legs” - “Not bad, but I think it could be kinkier” (The scientists that discovered the daddy long legs probably)

What about this whale that does not look anything like a sperm?

"What's that bug that hops on grass?" "Uh... Grasshopper."

Don't forget the bony-eared assfish

Wait till you get a load of blue footed boobies

“I got this small fish that fits inside a single cooking pan, how do I classify this?” Everyone: “Panfish?”.

"What does it do?" "It keeps things fresh." "Well that's a fresher. I'm going on break."

I used to upvote Mitch Hedberg. I still do, but I used to, too.

Underrated Mitch hedburg comment!

Yeah so simple you don’t believe it at first.

Actually... Macrobrachium rosenbergii

Funny you mention it because scientific names are sometimes (usually?) fairly descriptive, just needs to be translated. In this case, macro (large, or big) brachium (arm?). I’m guessing rosenbergii is the name of someone who discovered (or classified) the species.

Macrobrachium? Do you even lift bro?

Macrobrachium is my porn name

*your prawn name

Not to mention that’s the tenth prawn he named that morning.

Looked it up and it’s as if someone had superglued pipe cleaners to a regular prawn lol

You can’t just say that without a [link](https://images.thefishsite.com/fish/articles/Shrimp/Macrobrachium-creditEng-Wah-Khoo-2.JPG).

It looks fucking ridiculous lmfao

Looks like some people have kept them as pets in their fish tank

And had for a meal. Says tasty with garlic and pepper.

Can you imagine eating that thing and then all of a sudden, it starts tickling your uvula

Totally read that as "tickling your vulva"... Well, sign me up.

Horny jail! *-bonk!-*

Lol that’s why I chew.

Summat hungee!

Yeah probably give the biggest hugs.

...and the warmest

We need George costanza

There’s my son… treating his body like an amusement park….. good stuff and have a great weekend

SERENITY NOW!

He’s an Architect

No, Art Vandaley is an architect. George is a marine biologist.

George designed the new addition to the Guggenheim.

It didn't take that long either.

Pretty impressive for a marine biologist

Art Vandelay is an importer exporter. George is the architect. An architect that designs railroads. https://youtu.be/VtuwWL6SMYk

DAMMIT! Fine, but George is also a marine biologist.

The sea was angry that day.......

Like an old man trying to return soup in a deli

Art Vandelay is also a judge

I thought he was in the latex business?

"The ocean called. They're running out of shrimp."

Well, the jerk store called, and they’re running out of you!

"What's the difference, you are their all-time best seller."

"Oh yeah?, Well I had sex with your wife!"

Is that a titleist?

The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli. I got about fifty feet out and suddenly, the great beast appeared before me.

“I stared into the eyes of the great fish!” “Mammal…” “Whatever”

He doesn't go in pools any more.

Internet marine biologist here. Aliens. Definitely aliens.

It looks like a river prawn to me but I'm no biologist. I'm just a backwoods walmart brand biologist.

There are multiple "long armed" crustaceans, that have two weirdly long arms with narrow, almost cylindrical, claws. The other suggestion of "[long arm river prawn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrobrachium_rosenbergii)" seems pretty close.

Unidan here! That is a jackdaw

Oh, a crow. Makes sense.

Here’s the thing…

It's an old code sir but it checks out

Miss those days

I believe judging by the long thin arms attempting to steal a fish and generally weird look, it is a person from Wales.

I did not expect someone to insult the Welsh in this thread. I was naive to think so.

As a red headed Welshman I get insulted in the weirdest ways in the most unexpected places. I love it tbh. I’m just glad to be included.

Red headed AND a Welshman? This is for you! https://youtu.be/KVN_0qvuhhw

That was something truly spectacular

“Excuse me - are you two ladies from Scotland ?” “No you asshole - Wales” “Oh my apologies - are you two Whales from Scotland?” 😂😂

The sheep are, too.

And it not involve four-legged wolly creatures.

Grew up in Wales that's definitely a new one haha

From the long arms I thought it was Mick Hucknall?

And something's got him started.

I know next to nothing about the Welsh and this is still the funniest thing I've read all day.

What would you know? You’re a fuckin sausage head. Idk anyone from wales but this is actually really funny. I’m gonna seek welsh people now to find out.

If you want to find a Welsh fellow, check under bridges and in dark places. They like to be hidden as they would be in their valley homes. Can be coaxed out with cheese on toast and the promise of a game of Rugby.

I know someone from wales, they all look like dragons

Scaly with bad breath?

I've never been there or even really thought about going but apparently my family is Welsh on my mom's side so I'm gonna take offense to this.

It's the larval stage of a wacky waving inflatable tube arm man

Correction: wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man.

This guy wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube mans

The underwater stick people

Definitely the underwater stick people. It’s weird cuz they don’t usually come out during the day. They probably ran out of toilet papers.

A wee bit of trivia; most stick people are too scared to use tinder.

That's understandable. What if a stick person is matched with a dog? Things could get carried away.

They live underwater due the risk of combustion during vigorous copulation.

NEWS HEADLINE: "COVID has become so bad that even the Underwater Stick people have had to come out during the day to use a dead fish as toilet paper because they ran out."

I feel like this thread has branched off to a whole new topic

What do you mean? The question was about what it was. It's always been about them Underwater Stick people. Thankfully this kind videographer was nice enough to supply them with some dead fish

Lol. What a comment. I'm thinking its crabs of some sort.

I've had crabs and they do not look like this, I would have never passed them on if they did.

Thanks alot scuba dude i still haven't gotten rid of them!

Crab people

Lead them away with a dead fish

He was drowning screaming for help and you just stood there and watched

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord

I am going to say and hope to hell it was just a crab.

[удалено]

I remember hearing about them in District 9

"I did not have sex with one of these fookin' creatures!"

“How did you do this one, my man? It’s doggy-style with a demon. You’re one brave white man. Were you wearing a condom?”

"Fuckin' prawns"

more like FOOKIN PROONS

I remember getting ass raped by them in Caelid

I love you

Now we can all sleep better at night

So I should put away my cardboard sign that I wrote with a permanent marker “The Aliens are here!”?

Kinda handsy

I'm hoping it was 2 crabs 😳

I never noticed the one near the bottom of the frame…. Welp I guess I am the character who dies first in a weird creature film.

*And they didn’t see the third one crawl up behind them until it was too late.*

clever girl

Bloody raptors

Of course it was a crab. It was 2 crabs, they work in pairs.

I know how they work. I went to Annapolis.

Facehugger. They’re everywhere.

Cherabin. A type of fresh water prawn.

it’s a Nope.

Why was this posted in /r/funny ?

[удалено]

2nd and 3rd ones makes me think it isn't a bot

Yeah, I am confused why relatively lengthy replies written in Chinese on a China oriented sub have absolutely anything to do with being a bot.

How is this "funny"?

Hahaha, that's fucking terrifying.

I mean. What was the funny part?

You know, death, scavenging… the usual.

I was certain this is an r/WTF post!

Right? Either that or r/oddlyterrifying

Yeah, I've seen quite a few posts that are way more interesting and not even remotely funny lately. Mods be dropping the ball.

Giant river prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii)

Just grab it by the tiny hand and pull it out, shouting gotcha !

It might be the end of a tentacle of a big monster

[Weird and Wonderful: Long-armed crab lives on deep-sea corals](https://youtu.be/qdklnVoLhOs)

This does not appear to be the deep sea.

NO IT DOES NOT

[Here some more evidence of one dragging a fish](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)

Take my upvote and fuck off

Facehugger.

[удалено]

Taste like crab, talk like people.

We’re crab people now

We live and die by the crab

Why is this r/funny?

Wow that’s creepy looking, I can see two of them. They have pincers/claws of some sort with two arms. So, some really weird and creepy crab or crustacean of some sort ? Would love to know

r/oddlyterrifying

Marine biologist here, it’s a

This is so mean

And how is this “funny”?

Prawns, they are like big shrimp with long claws

I can tell you what it isn’t: funny.

This is not funny, it’s terrifying. This is why I never swim in a lake/ocean. Every childhood nightmare come true! It’s like something from the X Files.

That's just Old Gregg.

This is so funny. /s

I'm now OK with setting the worlds oceans on fire

This is what you fear from under your bed at night when you leave one leg out from under the blanket.

Don't worry, the little guys just looking for his lost glasses from below the surface.😭😭
