Fun fact: Through a process of convergent evolution called carcinisation, crustaceans have evolved into crabs several times.

It is inevitable! All shall become crab!

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's my plan too! I hope the ecological niche is still free

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Did they ever find the missing king crabs?

[–] Thranduil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You also have crabs become non crabs

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's also a highly debated theory.

[–] Genrawir@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah. Sure. Become a crab. IF YOU WANT TO BE AN ASSHOLE.

Fucking crabs.

Be better. Be a squid.

[–] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, sure, as if I'd like to trash all my points I put in IQ.

Become an octopus and keep all that XP

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The true meaning of carcinization, revealed

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 14 points 1 year ago

Get eaten if you're not careful or just have bad luck.

🦀 Skill issue

[–] Coasting0942@reddthat.com 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Having tasted freshly boiled crab, I’d be concerned about being caught by some land apes.

Just don't get caught.

[–] _number8_@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

can normal animals in nature get fat? like a particularly lazy tiger or something

[–] skulblaka@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

If someone is feeding it.

[–] cod@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Time for crab

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Forgot the goal of all evolution

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'd walk side to side if I were a crab.
