Honestly I'd like to see some evolutionary biologists who are way too invested actually have that argument. Because yeah, yours has remained the same for pretty much the longest of all species...but OP's keeps repeatedly evolving

I nominate sharks, which evolved over 400 million years ago, before trees existed.

Sharks are disqualified by virtue of winning the match by default

Clearly a crab who has manned its battle station

It's false though. The mantis shrimp would easily destroy a crab with 1 punch

The mantis shrimp is peak performance.

Found this too- https://youtu.be/VhyFTpZXBO4&t=36s

Can you think of the evolutionary pressures it went through to develop it's eyes, colors, and .22 round punch?

I shudder to think what it's ancestors faced.

Like the BOBBIT WORM

But is the mantis shrimp just a one trick pony? What’s the breakdown on general feasibility versus specialization? Or is the mantis shrimp truly the secret weapon that crabs wish they were?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

crabs may be better in nearly every aspect,, but have you considered that crabs don't see 16 primary colors

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Crabs barely see at all

[–] NegativeInf 6 points 4 days ago

Something something banana organ.

Idk. I'm not an alien.

Broke: carcinisation is evidence that crab bodies are peak performance

Woke: carcinisation is evidence that crab bodies are a noob trap, because no crabs are top tier predators despite being so widespread

And it's the ideal female body too.

Crab people, crab people
Walk like crab
Talk like people

I mean your hands have teeth who could beat that

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

According to Jordan Peterson anyway.

Cool meme but the nerd in me needs to point out that carcinisation is seen in non-crab crustaceans, not all animals in general

[–] peopleproblems 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not yet.

We might see marine animals trend towards dolphins, but given enough time, does a dolphin become a crab, or does a crab become a dolphin?

[–] nifty 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Cute comment, but the nerd in me needs you to provide a sauce for making a statement like that. You can’t extrapolate evolution like that, brah

[–] peopleproblems 1 points 3 days ago

Which part? Convergent evolution towards a dolphin? (Dolphins and ichthyosaurus) Or the question of Dolphin to Crab or Crab to dolphin?

We gotta wait another hundred million years to find out that answer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Not only perfomance, but also safety

[–] Thteven 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We must evolve to crab if we want to survive

Why is carcinization suddenly being referenced so much?

It's time. Get in the soup
