crabs

There's a whole lot going on in the world right now, but you certainly don't need us to tell you that. And you know what? Sometimes it's okay to completely shut out the universe of humans and instead indulge in a bit of harmless humor about animals. The world will keep turning just like the internet will continue bombarding us with breaking news and think-pieces. It's totally fine to take a break from all that. Wholesome and hilarious animal memes are just the thing to help distract from the world's chaos. 

Being a human can be so complicated. We're plagued with neuroses, complex responsibilities, and the knowledge that much of this existence is absolutely pointless. Animals (most of the time) lead a simpler existence. They also happen to be the subject of some exquisitely dumb, wholesome, and even spicy memes. Which are a great albeit temporary antidote to our very human suffering. 

There's something about tini-tiny animals that truly gives us all the biggest smiles. Doesn't matter if it's tiny cats or tiny frogs, small animals of all kinds are unfailingly adorable. To further prove this entirely obvious point, today, we give you tiny crabs. 

They're so small they can fit on the very tip of your finger. And seeing them like this really makes you think "m'kay, maybe even scary animals can be cute too." As if all of us big cat lovers ever doubted that lol. We really hope these tiny crabs give you at least a tiny dose of joy and allow you to start this week off with some positivity. 

It's the very last day of the week, we're all starting to feel the weight of another week coming on, and we really need something to cheer us up and keep us from getting crabby. Something to really help us walk a straight line, have a clawsome week, reach the goals that we set, and give us strength to keep our shells tough and unbreakable. It's crab meme time.

Crabs make for a very eclectic collection of memes. They can be cute, but they can also be very dangerous. Don't underestimate the ferociousness of a crab. They may tip their hat to you and wish you a clawtastic week, but some days, they may just need to take a breather. That's okay though, so long as it creates funny memes, we're all for it. So, enjoy these crabtastic memes, and we hope you have a clawmazing week.

It's true what they say: kids really do say the darnedest things. This woman shared a story she wrote at seven years old in 2000 (holy crap we're old), and honestly it's a true work of art. Move over Shakespeare, Tess is the newest brilliant writer in town. 

Now scroll down to read the story of Tess and her crabs.

An innocent Tumblr post about how hungry someone must've been when they discovered that coconuts were indeed edible, took a wild turn when someone pointed out how horrid and monstrous looking "coconut crabs" are. Some things are better left unseen. Nature can be a scary bitch sometimes.

Listen, we're not claiming these memes are full of intellectual humor. They're not. Sometimes we need a little dumb to dull the pain.
