Look, we know why you are here. You have a photo of a shell you found on vacation, and you need a caption that proves you are funny to people you barely know on the internet. We aren’t here to judge your life choices, mostly because we spent hours writing these jokes about calcified exoskeletons. It is a low point for all of us.

The Shell-shocking Questions
Why can you hear the ocean in a shell?
You can’t. You are hearing the blood rushing in your own ear and the ambient noise of the room reflecting back at you. Basically, you are listening to your own head.
Do seashells grow?
The shell itself is dead material, like your fingernails or your hopes and dreams. The animal inside grows and adds more layers to the edge.
Can I take seashells from the beach?
Usually yes, but check the local laws. Also, check if someone is living in it. Evicting a hermit crab is bad karma.
What is the rarest seashell?
The Conus Gloriamaris used to be worth thousands. Now you can buy one for cheap. It’s the Beanie Baby of the ocean world.
Why are shells different colors?
It depends on what the mollusk eats. If they eat boring food, they get boring shells. It’s a literal representation of “you are what you eat.”
Are seashells money?
They used to be. Cowrie shells were used as currency in many ancient cultures. Try paying your rent with them today and see what happens.
How did three seashells become a bathroom joke?
That comes from an old sci-fi comedy where toilet paper got replaced by three mysterious seashells, and the movie never actually explains how they work. It has nothing to do with real seashells, but the internet still will not let it go.
