It is inevitable! All shall become crab!
That's my plan too! I hope the ecological niche is still free
Did they ever find the missing king crabs?
You also have crabs become non crabs
It's also a highly debated theory.
Is it really? I figured it was just another textbook example of convergent evolution, as that is where I learned about it. I know my comment should have said 'evolved crab-like bodies' instead, as they'd still be genetically distinct, and not taxonomically true crabs. Now I feel like I have to read up on what the exact nature of the debate is.
Yet another unrealistic standard set for men
Sign me up, my new name shall be Leonardo di Pinci
The best part of this meme is the shoddy watermark coverup job!
Where?
Bottom right
Yeah. Sure. Become a crab. IF YOU WANT TO BE AN ASSHOLE.
Fucking crabs.
Be better. Be a squid.
Yeah, sure, as if I'd like to trash all my points I put in IQ.
Become an octopus and keep all that XP
How dare you!
Dammit I'm already EVOLVING AS HARD AS I CAN
FASTER!!!!! FASTER!!!!!
I think there is a song? Which helps the change. " Crab people...
The true meaning of carcinization, revealed
Get eaten if you're not careful or just have bad luck.
🦀
Am crab, still have too many bills to pay and responsibilities to do.
🦀 Skill issue
can normal animals in nature get fat? like a particularly lazy tiger or something
Sure, provided the food is available and doesn't cost too many calories to obtain. The real problem lies in the fact that most fat animals get hunted by other, faster, hungrier carnivores. Sure you can get fat in nature but it's a hell of a feat to stay fat (and alive) in nature.
Bears get fat every year to prepare for hibernation.
If someone is feeding it.
Having tasted freshly boiled crab, I’d be concerned about being caught by some land apes.
Just don't get caught.
Time for crab
I'd walk side to side if I were a crab.
Forgot the goal of all evolution
I dunno, the movie really sold me on becoming a lobster
