Person 1: Say the weird thing.

Person 2: Lobsters pee out of their face. That's it, that's the weird thing.

Actually that's not it, we're gonna go deeper. Lobsters pee at each other. It's part of fighting and it's part of courtship.

Lobsters are cannibals and in order to mate, the female will need to shed her shell. And she's really soft and vulnerable in that time. The male could think she looks like a snack and like, not in a good way.

So to get him ready to accept her presence in his cave, she heads in there and pees. And there are pheromones in her pee that help her chill out. When she feels like it's safe, like she thinks he's not gonna eat literally eat her, she heads in there and molts.

Then they mate and she hangs out for a few days for her shell to harden. And leaves to have her eggs at a later date. Anyways lobsters peeing out of their faces is my favorite weird fact to use everywhere anytime.
