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

[–] JohnDClay 53 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

It is inevitable! All shall become crab!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Did they ever find the missing king crabs?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

You also have crabs become non crabs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

It's also a highly debated theory.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months 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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months 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.

[–] threelonmusketeers 9 points 10 months ago

Bears get fat every year to prepare for hibernation.

[–] can 5 points 10 months ago

If someone is feeding it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] PM_ME_FEET_PICS 4 points 10 months ago

Just don't get caught.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Time for crab

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

This is how they recruit more Crab People

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

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