Lol, I love the inclusion of cheat codes like they’re as big of a concern as malware. Won’t someone think of the children?! I found my son playing GTA5 with bighead mode on *sobs uncontrollably*.

This whole thing sounds like the “drugs in Halloween candy” scare, but this seems to actually be real. Neat.

P.S. I don’t know if GTA5 actually has bighead mode.

Oh, I don’t mean the “blood donation” being normal. The person I was responding to asked why they were being drained “this way”. I assumed they were concerned about the folded-over positioning of the crab.

Also, counter argument (in good fun): plenty of animals get their blood drained regularly in nature. Mosquitos, ticks, leaches, and vampire bats are a few examples of things that drain blood from others. Maybe the crabs see us as giant pests?

Defo not the best arrangement for the crabs though. As others pointed out to me, apparently despite the optimistic wording in the link I shared the process is still fatal to some. I’m glad we’re working on alternatives.

Here’s a description of the bleeding process:

It’s specifically non-fatal:

Bleeding horseshoe crabs to death is not an acceptable practice in the U.S.

The volume of blood taken is actually quite small, as most of the material in the collection jars is anticoagulant.

It may look uncomfortable to us humans, but keep in mind that horseshoe crabs are not human. What’s normal for the spider is chaos for the fly. Granted, it would be kinda weird to be hoisted from your home by a giant ape and forced into a blood drive. It’s done as gently as possible though.

Watch out for Balrogs!

Careful. If you’re too mean to him he’ll cancel Fez 2 again!

There’s also a profile thingy on the three dot menu at the top right I can click to change accounts. The hamburger menu may not exist for you if you configured Sync without it.

For me it was in the hamburger menu at the top left. Very top of that menu.
