Does imitation crab get impostor syndrome?
I read some strange philosophy paper about if inanimate objects actually have desires. It argued that they want to be used for their intended purpose. So I think as long as someone is enjoying them, they are content.
At one point that was a fish...I don't think its intended purpose was to get mutilated, processes to look vaguely like crab meat and eaten. But I'm not a fish, so I could be wrong.
No this paper was definitely talking about pens and various hand tools. Nothing biologic at all.
I knew the paper was about something else, I was applying the philosophy to the picture of imitation crab.
reminds me of this vid:

Yeah, just using it as a jumping off point having no other frame of reference. I personally do not believe inanimate objects have a conscious.
Edit to add other than the little toaster!
I like where your head is at
