I’ll be that guy to say it’s a pretty common misconception that turtles can come out of their shells but they’re actually part of their skeleton
A lot of people also really need to understand that their shells aren’t just a covering or dead, bony plates. Their shells are actually quite sensitive and I’ve had a few tortoises that love back scratches. Please be kind to turtles and don’t stomp on them, despite what video games have taught you.
Well now I don’t know who to believe!
I was just thinking this would be way funnier on a hermit crab
Literally the plot of Another Crab’s Treasure.
What’s that? Sounds fun!
That was my thinking. I’d hate for a chunk of my skeleton, like my spine, was evicted from my body.
so when i snapped my favorite metacarpal, as they were putting it back together they accidentally put it on crooked. so every time i flipped someone the bird it was pointing the wrong direction and was rotated 35 degrees. fortunately i went back under and got it fixed that day, but the fuckers. could not even check their work. still 5 degrees off but better than nothing.
This was the most comment I’ve read all day.
Yup. The turtle in the comic is sad, not because of the eviction notice (which is clearly bogus, and annoying to deal with, but the buddy probably takes consolation in that they’ll outlive the clueless landlord) but because the note is in an awkward place they can’t reach. Turtles are unfortunately not very nimble.
This is essentially the plot of Another Crab’s Treasure. You’re a hermit crab and the new ruler’s tax collector repos your shell, so you are on a mission to get it back.
Funniest thing to me about this is that the gimmick of the game’s soulslike elements is using various shells as shields and some of them are way fancier than the one tbe tax bird took. 🤣
