Overheard: "Why am I incapable of putting the barbecue tongs away without clapping them together twice?"

#carcinization

There has to be an analogy here about how in a world where everyone is evolving into crabs, you can scuttle yourself to success by doing something different.

I was made aware of the Playstacean and
1.) I NEED one
but
2.) It also got me thinking about carcinization and I'm now wondering if the "rewrite it in rust" movement is just the software equivalent. Either way I am ready to be crab. Here are the various links for you too to get ready for crab:

Give it time, carcinization is coming.

Welcome, and thanks for the intro! I suspect you'll find folk around here who get excited about #carcinization (myself included) 🦀

EVERYTHING eventually evolves into a crab. #Carcinization #Evolution #Pastry

@elana Has to be something that can adapt quickly (either generationally like fruit flies, or migratory like birds or fish) but sufficiently slowly that they have to develop an interest in learning from history. That said, never bet against crabs #Carcinization

It's that time again...

A recent discussion here on Mastodon involved what kind of shape life might take if there were a "re-boot". I think this is one of the forms that will keep happening as long as there's life. Also, perhaps this is what could evolve on another planet.

Animals Keep Evolving Into #Crabs, and Scientists Don't Know Why

"It's true: Crabs keep turning up in nature, and it's bothering scientists so much that they've been given federal grants to get to the bottom of it.

"The phenomenon is so widely known that it's been given a name — #carcinization, a term that's been in use for over 140 years. Through this process, crabs, the beach critters we all know and love, have evolved at least five times from separate groups of crustaceans, Newsweek has been told.

"Not all the species to have undergone carcinization have become crabs in the technical sense. Some have merely become crab-like, adopting their shape and form. Carcinized species can be divided into two main groups: Brachyura, which are true crabs, and Anomura, or false crabs."

@lowqualityfacts
All roads lead to the crab.

they're so right for this one tbh #transportation #trains #carcinization

Lastly, there is a significant chance that it was at the mandibles of Birgus latro that Amelia Earhart met her ultimate fate. I don’t think they actually killed her, mind you. But they probably disposed of the remains on Nikumaroo Island in the Pacific. Maybe even Fred Noonan? If we are lucky, we can get @jopabinia to wax poetic about Birgus and carcinization. #carcinization #history
