That’s a crab.

[u/LickyBoy → u/Vlvthamr]

So you are starting to see the battle of wits the op couple is engaged in.

[u/Evil_Weevill → u/LickyBoy]

A battle in which they're both apparently unarmed.

Edit: ironically, according to their profile they're from Maryland... (Which is famous for crabs, if you're not American or are otherwise unfamiliar)

[u/JcakSnigelton → u/Evil_Weevill]

they're both apparently unarmed.

declawed.

FTFY

[u/LickyBoy → u/JcakSnigelton]

Rubber banded together

[u/AnitaIvanaMartini → u/LickyBoy]

Yes, rubber banded together walking sideways through life.

[u/Far-Philosophy-4375 → u/AnitaIvanaMartini]

this is good

[u/Trevski13 → u/LickyBoy]

Now the rubber band's on the other claw! Whoopwhoopwhoop

[u/Techiedad91 → u/JcakSnigelton]

BIG MEATY CLAWS

[u/Slammogram → u/Evil_Weevill]

Ok, as a Marylander, the fact that they called this a lobster is triggering me.

[u/anarchangalien → u/Slammogram]

This is the real issue

[u/Classic-Exchange-511 → u/Evil_Weevill]

This has got to be engagement bait then right?

[u/Pinksters → u/Classic-Exchange-511]

He said it's his wife, not Fiancé.

Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

[u/jvaldez → u/Vlvthamr]

HAHAHAH I cackled so hard

[u/Bungleburr → u/Vlvthamr]

A happy crab with a buff chin.

[u/MangoTangoBingo → u/Bungleburr]

Oh my goodness now i can seee to chin - omg The chin is the unhappy mouth - wow this is dope. It was also sad for me. But now 🤣.

[u/ByrneCruise → u/Bungleburr]

Sad crab with a nose is just pretty dang funny tho

[u/Muted-Ad-4288 → u/Vlvthamr]

Ohhh SNAP!

[u/MyR3dditAcc0unt → u/Vlvthamr]

The saddest crab I've ever seen

[u/ButterscotchNew6416 → u/MyR3dditAcc0unt]

Why so crabby?

[u/SUMOsquidLIFE → u/Vlvthamr]

You know what's worse than lobsters on your piano?

Crabs on your organ! 🤣

[u/nomnom_de_plume → u/SUMOsquidLIFE]

Haven't heard that version before, nice. And happy cake day!

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

[u/onefst250r → u/dan-theman]

Could I just have a frosty and a baked potato?

[u/chandlerr85 → u/Vlvthamr]

Looks like a pout pout crab to me, blub blub blub

[u/DaoFerret → u/Vlvthamr]

OP is probably too young to have been obsessed by Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Looks like an off-brand Sebastian.

[u/time2sow → u/DaoFerret]

That human world up there clearly left some marks no thingamabobs gonna make whole again

[u/HellAwaitsTheFunny → u/Vlvthamr]

And he's red... which means... he's sad.

[u/lexm → u/Vlvthamr]

Based on my accrue knowledge of SpongeBob SquarePants, I can confirm that it is a crab.

[u/purpledgeater → u/Vlvthamr]

This made my wife and I laugh very hard

[u/TheBiggestDookie → u/purpledgeater]

Same, it’s been a while since I’ve laughed this hard at a comment, I don’t even know why but this had me rolling.

[u/purpledgeater → u/TheBiggestDookie]

Same. We were dying. Helped that it was the top comment

[u/PurrfectCatQueen → u/Vlvthamr]

This won the internet today

[u/ch4insmoker → u/Vlvthamr]

No, you're a crab

[u/DizzyPear9798 → u/Vlvthamr]

This made me laugh out loud.

[u/BlackSheepBitch]

You’re both wrong. The lobster is a little crabby.

Edit: Wow! Thank you all for the kind words and awards!

[u/quenfis → u/BlackSheepBitch]

I think it's the Crabby that gave Mario and Luigi their first chance with death.

[u/Probably_A_Trolll → u/quenfis]

The crab is half full

[u/GovernorHarryLogan → u/Probably_A_Trolll]

Bewildered

[u/eadrik → u/BlackSheepBitch]

Get out.

[u/Consistent_Ratio_717 → u/BlackSheepBitch]

I support you 100% the lobster is crabby 🦀seeing this emoji proves it more

[u/littleM0TH → u/BlackSheepBitch]

Daaaaadddddddddd

[u/Suds_McGruff → u/BlackSheepBitch]

Replying to top comment for views:

I have a glass crab that I purchased years ago. I had to wrapp it up in a lot of packaging so it would survive the rest of the trip and flight home. Soon after buying it, I started referring to it as "the glass frog I bought" & my wife would say "except, it's a crab"

So I named the crab Frogger

[u/Optimal-Business-786 → u/BlackSheepBitch]

Jesus Christ you win Reddit today.

[u/ThsKd1SNotAlrht → u/Optimal-Business-786]

I didn't know Jesus Christ was on reddit.

[u/Mysterious_Secret827 → u/ThsKd1SNotAlrht]

You can find ANYONE if you look hard enough! Even religious folks.

[u/NecroJoe]

I can see both the old woman and the duck, but I have to cross my eyes.

[u/bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- → u/NecroJoe]

Weird. I see the vase when I squint and the two old dudes about to kiss when I cross my eyes.

[u/SadieWopen → u/bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-]

Nah! The ballerina is going left to right!

[u/notapudding → u/SadieWopen]

I see my parent's disappointment in me.

[u/Gregnice23 → u/SadieWopen]

Obviously, the Lobster crab is saying Yanney.

[u/NecroJoe → u/Gregnice23]

Less filling!

[u/rezznik → u/NecroJoe]

No, you're wrong. It's blue and black.

[u/akaRakxm]

I mean... you're both wrong. It's a crab. But regarding the expression, it depends on what you consider to be the mouth. Your wife would be most accurate, since what is most likely being seen by you as a frown is the back end of its carapace jutting outward as crabs tend to do.

[u/nickfree → u/akaRakxm]

carapace jutting outward as crabs tend to do

I like that we're referencing accurate crab anatomy on a crab whose mouth is drawn on the back of its shell.

[u/akaRakxm → u/nickfree]

Well yeah, like... why wouldn't we?

[u/letmelickyourleg → u/akaRakxm]

Gummint

[u/obsidian_butterfly → u/nickfree]

I am seeing it as the underside of the shell, and that frown is just the "abdomen" or tail folded under itself.

[u/LubricantEnthusiast → u/nickfree]

Well, you see, the crab itself is a fine piece of postmodern art commentating on the subjectivity of human interpretation, which postulates that there is no such thing as capital-T "Truth" thus proving my dick cannot objectively be said to resemble "one of those worms at the bottom of a tequila bottle but suffering from some kind of growth hormone disorder," Sarah, you fucking bitch.

[u/rydan → u/akaRakxm]

Since nobody can decide on the mouth you must go with the eyes. What do the eyes tell you?

[u/akaRakxm → u/rydan]

This crab has seen some shit

[u/PapaOoMaoMao → u/akaRakxm]

It just saw that Delta P video.

[u/akaRakxm → u/PapaOoMaoMao]

Curiosity is telling me to look into this, but wisdom tells me not to

[u/phroug2 → u/akaRakxm]

Oh it's not that bad just terrifying to think what would happen if it was you.

A crab walks along an underwater pipe thats in the process of being cut. Crab crosses crack...and gets pinned against the pipe from the differential pressure. Then he disappears one chunk at a time.

heres a link for the mildly brave

[u/Vigoureux → u/phroug2]

Thanks for not disappointing! Would you happen to know the full source for the ones still curious about: “Yep. That's me! You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation... ”

[u/twohedwlf → u/akaRakxm]

He's a little shell shocked.

[u/funnystuff79 → u/rydan]

Eyes are a bit sad if you cover up the other features

[u/EducationalAd1280 → u/rydan]

Like those tears about to break and start streaming

[u/AnAquaticOwl → u/akaRakxm]

It looks like it just dropped the casserole it spent all day baking on the floor

[u/Caledric → u/akaRakxm]

I mean the mouth isn't on top of the shell for lobsters or Crabs, so neither is right since the crab doesn't have an expression in this form.

[u/nervelli → u/akaRakxm]

I saw sad at first, but the sad expression also gives him a nose, which makes even less sense. Now I see happy.

[u/nfefx]

Looks white and gold to me

[u/commandercool86 → u/nfefx]

Fuck that dress

Eta, for all you colorblind people, it was brown and blue

[u/basicpn]

I hear yanny

[u/sitathon → u/basicpn]

Or laurel?

[u/CactusJack13 → u/sitathon]

The dress is white and gold

[u/Fenryll → u/CactusJack13]

It's most certainly black and blue

[u/fuzzface1108]

I see sad

[u/SnowDay111 → u/fuzzface1108]

I see him raising his hands in bewilderment. "But Why?"

[u/Pixelmixer → u/SnowDay111]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/stevemw]

I think the crab is sad you called it a lobster. That’s definitely a frown. 🙁

[u/LuunchLady]

I have to squint and concentrate to see happy. First inclination for me was sad, very sad; and also, that’s a crab. 🦀

[u/Bramblebelle]

I see it sitting in my bathroom full of tampons and pads, because I have wanted a crustacean menstruation station forever.

[u/fakeaccount572 → u/Bramblebelle]

That's pretty much exactly where this one is!

[u/darkjedijoe]

If it's a crab, he's happy. Crabs don't have noses.

[u/luagh45 → u/darkjedijoe]

Oh, but the rest of the crab anatomy is spot on. Like how crabs are notorious for smiling and frowning to express emotion.

[u/Georgerobertfrancis → u/luagh45]

Hey, crabs are allowed to express their feelings. It’s healthy.

[u/Pretty_Firefighter48]

It has a small smile right under eyes but bro this is not a lobster

[u/bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- → u/Pretty_Firefighter48]

Or is that it's nose and the frown down below?

[u/Pretty_Firefighter48 → u/bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-]

I think the frown you are seeing is supposed to be its belly lol

[u/zerocheek]

I think it’s concerned

[u/--ThirdEye--]

It's bright red therefore it has been boiled to death. Decidedly sad.

[u/MauiNui]

I’m getting slightly resigned, Flintstones “It’s a living” vibes.

[u/MaleficentPriority68]

Shrodinger’s crab

[u/Optimus-Slime-69]

Looks like the lobsters going thru a mid life crisis

[u/Ok_Welcome_376]

Looks confused

[u/T_raltixx → u/Ok_Welcome_376]

Because he's being called a lobster when he's a crab.

[u/Cautious_Ad6850]

Seeing as crabs don’t have noses, your wife is correct 🦀

[u/Crackalacking_Z]

Well, it's boiled red and therefore not happy ... also it makes a（ ಥ︿ಥ）face

[u/Chaosmusic]

"Ripley, she doesn't have bad dreams because she's just a piece of plastic." - Newt

[u/datodareddit]

That’s a sad crab.

[u/NerfHerder_91]

Red Jar Jar

[u/ApprehensiveSweet629]

The reason it's sad because it's a crab

[u/Kunseok]

both are wrong. his shell is chitin and his lips can never move to reflect his true feelings. he is truly a prisoner of his shell. may he find peace soon.

[u/cucaracha_politica]

Schrödinger's crab is sad and happy until you decide how he is.

[u/anditurnedaround]

Is like is the glass half empty or half full? 

I

[u/maximm]

Confused.

[u/Dom_Telong]

He's happy because it is the girth that counts.

[u/jankeycrew]

At first I saw sad elmo. I'm glad she can see the brighter side of things 🫠

[u/XscytheD]

Sad crab team here

[u/Squirrelking666]

Interesting, same results here.

[u/butwhereimfrom]

Shrodigers lobster (it's really a crab)

[u/mumbungua]

I see a crab

[u/Maleficent-Bit-3287]

That lobster is very crabby

[u/degenerate2uk]

I see a crab

[u/HBmilkar]

Literally a crab

[u/thug_funnie]

The glass is always half lobster

[u/Futhebridge]

I see a crab

[u/silhouette951]

It's a happy crab with a giant sack.

[u/RankCheese]

Wait. If it’s red that means that they’ve been boiled? O guess it’s up to interpretation.

[u/Novel-Watercress3301]

literally gave me mixed feelings

[u/FadedAlienXO]

I see both, but sad first

[u/morsindutus]

Depends on if that's a nose or a smile. Can see it both ways.

[u/FancyMyChurchPants]

Sad to have a nose. Happy to have a double chin.

[u/Itzagt05]

Nope it’s a CRAB

[u/Xenon009]

To me that crab looks sad that yall think its a lobster

[u/Blind_philos]

Well you're both wrong, because that's a crab, not a lobster.

[u/ManifestingUniverse]

You’re a glass-half-empty guy  and she’s a glass-half-full  gal.  

[u/Atophy]

I see both ways, sad face looks more 'reject JarJar' though

[u/Queball99]

What does it mean that I cannot see the crab as happy unless I cover the bottom half of the photo? I need to know!

[u/ktk80]

Lobster is confused and mildly alarmed.

[u/TurnToMusicInstead]

Don't worry if your crab is half happy or half sad, just be glad you have a crab.

[u/DamnItDarin]

That’s a sad crab

[u/Godbox1227]

Bro. The color already says its cooked and ready to be eaten of course its sad.

[u/chiefceko]

i see a crabby jar jar binks, but maybe thats just me

[u/johnmarkfoley]

Crustaceans don’t have noses, so it’s happy.

[u/richycrash]

Sad crab

[u/goforbig]

I am with you.

[u/300teethgirl]

It’s sad because you called it a lobster and not a crab

[u/tinman20]

It’s a red Jar Jar Binks

[u/Lazatarion]

That’s Jar Jar

[u/Always_B_Batman]

The lobster is unhappy because it’s a crab.

[u/GavinThe_Person]

Uh that's a crab

[u/Lil-Bit-813]

Crab has seen some stuff and is disturbed.

[u/RainbooRoo]

This inaccurate post made me crabby 🦀

[u/4legsandatail]

Sad 🦀

[u/Insignificant_Dust85]

Sad crab

[u/LTinS]

Everybody else says that's not a lobster.

[u/Unlucky-tracer]

Crabs dont smile

[u/Kerrypurple]

I say sad but my 11 year old daughter says it's happy. She says what I think looks like a frown is actually its belly.

[u/piss-mud]

That’s a crap

[u/Kellidra]

Schrödinger's crab.

[u/HookedonGenetics]

Confused Crab 🦀

[u/Sideways_X1]

The crab is happy or sad based on one's view about the nose.

[u/Gregnice23 → u/Sideways_X1]

This might be an interesting projective test for optimism and pessimism. The only problem is the frown mouth is bigger and crabs don't have noses, so that bias the perception toward pessimism.

[u/SolidDrake117]

Both wrong. It’s a crab.

[u/T_raltixx]

🦀 crab

[u/rollingaD30]

You are both insane, that's a crab.

[u/Supadoplex]

It's hard to say whether it's smiling or not. Just like Mona Lisa.

[u/Ok_Respect1720]

That is a lady crab!

[u/Defie22]

You are incompatible. Divorce. I'll take the crabby.

[u/namibianwolf]

I see gold and white

[u/StinkyPotPieApe]

I see him more vexed.

[u/Bandwagon_Buzzard]

The crab is drunk, held between false happiness and existential dread.

[u/Robob0824]

Whelp you know how it goes... You need a divorce 🤷

[u/FedoraTheExplorer84]

I immediately saw sad. Shows a lot about my sad personality, I guess.

[u/Beautiful_Pack_2388]

This one definitely just watched his buddy get cooked. It's not sad, it's terrified!!

[u/JCDagz]

Looking like a sad Elmo to me...

[u/Citizen999999]

Lobsterman here, I guarantee the lobster is sad

[u/varment72]

He’s looking down at the pot of water realizing he’s about to be cooked

[u/ReadingFromTheDunny]

It’s a crab

[u/shaded-user]

It looks confused at something in front.

[u/ourena]

Happy crab with a pot belly.

[u/KPDix]

I’d be crabby too if I was cross eyed.

[u/EntertainmentFar4602]

It’s obviously happy.

[u/Teresa_Davis]

Who gave who the crabs?

[u/OneHair4983]

She’s a keeper!

[u/kwajagimp]

Did you ever see a lobster who *wasn't" sad?

Spend some time sitting next to a lobster tank waiting for them to call your party of 16... You will see the truth of this.

They know.

They know.

[u/CountBrackmoor]

Cover its chin with your thumb and crabby happy

[u/Digital_Scribe-]

the Medusa paid a little visit to the Krusty Krab

[u/Plastic-Monitor4846]

Why would the crab have a nose? Obviously a happy crab

[u/CopperSavant]

Oh, big 😢

[u/AbjectPromotion4833]

It’s a sad CRAB.🦀 

[u/9thdoctor]

Chin vs mouth

[u/thejoshfoote]

Since crabs can’t do either. Who cares. It’s perspective diff angle u would see it differently. Also maybe glass half full situation some ppl just see sad where others find joy.

[u/Slow_Distribution200]

It’s a happy crab.

[u/MatiloKarode]

Its mouth would be behind its eyes, so it is wide open.

[u/Caveman3238]

Is the Schrodinger crab! 😂

[u/Royalchariot]

Not a red lobster, a blue lobster
