Spirit Halloween has a butterfly this year.

A turtle's shell is its ribcage, right? Wonder how they would fuck that up.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Angus 3rd Pounder. Need I say more?

[–] Nefara@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

I think they're kinda cute, I like to say they're not skeletons, they're "bone golems".

Spiders have an exoskeleton. The skeleton of a spider looks basically like a spider

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

This is the ONLY spider that isn't showing its skeleton!

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I get so triggered by these and my wife is sick of me complaining when I see crazy shit like the fucking skele-snail I saw last week. I think at this point they're doing a bunch of invertebrates on purpose to piss me off

I'm considering collecting them and only them. No human or mammal skeles, just invertibrates.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

It's Haloween! They're wearing skeleton costumes.

[–] Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago

The octopus one goes kinda hard

You could slap it on a metal album and it'd probably fit

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Both of those skeletons have tetrapod like rib cages, implying that spiders and octopuses both have lungs.

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Apparently the octopus has lungs in it's head too

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's what makes them scary!

[–] Thorry@feddit.org 13 points 1 day ago

Yeah these beasties are from some kind of fucked up horror dimension. They sort of resemble things we know, but they have bones and flesh. Actually scary!

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ha I think those are awesome.

Of course the people that have no humor will find them boring, but how terrifying would a fleshy spider be?

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Like with feet and hands and floppy / flappy bits?

Thousands of nipples to feed its babies ….

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

I like to think a flesh spider would. Yes.

[–] philosloppy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

the living skeletons part is cool but spider bones just destroy my suspension of disbelief in the Dollar General Decoriverse

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Spiders technically have skeletons. Theirs is just on the outside and not made of bone.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

"Skeleton of things" made me think of embedded network programming.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago

I bought the octopus for this exact reason. Haven’t seen the spider yet!

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Just means they were critter/human hybrids while "alive"

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

eeee, scawy!! As an anatomy enthusiast, they crack me up! As does the 24 ft Human-iform skeletons! I rode past one on my bike yesterday. It lives in these folks front yard, because where do you store an 24 ft tall skeleton?

[–] AZERTY@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago

The one in our neighborhood stays up from September to January, he just gets a festive little Christmas hat once Halloween ends. No clue where they store the giant bastard though.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There’s someone nearby us with one of those. But they also have a massive Santa as well. When that one showed up I got extremely confused. Like how do you store all this holiday decoration stuff!? They cover their lawn and house with it.

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

While the Santa is up you can store the skeleton back inside of it

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

They are made by a very creative necromancer!

[–] powerstruggle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They can have bones with a little CRISPRing

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtZa_aHARr4 related to one of my favorite channels!

[–] nathanjent@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

The witches are just being economical when raising the dead. When all you have are mammal corpses, but you love creatures with eight legs, you have to improvise.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Now I need them both. I'd also like a grasshopper skeleton.
