Double points for being crablike. Everything becomes crab.

[–] arctanthrope@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (4 children)

this is a misconception, "carcinization" doesn't mean that literally everything eventually becomes a crab, people or dogs or sharks will not turn into crabs over the next hundred million years. it only applies to marine arthropods; things like lobsters, shrimp, and isopods have a strong tendency to fold their tails under their body, and get wider and flatter, becoming crab-like. the creature in the image, with its long straight tail, is more lobster-like than crab-like, and thus is actually a counterexample to carcinization

[–] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

True, it's mainly a Joke. Obviously we totally will not turn into crab people.

Not with that attitude

I both love and hate this image. I hope the arthropods remember us.

They're our oldest enemy

Its good of the crabs to use the Anno Domini Gregorian calendar.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That was a mistake, it's actually PC (Post Carcinization).

“Their ceremonies, despite everything, still prove to be a mystery to us. They were an advanced, sapient species and yet their fertility rituals, where they placed their gods within resealable glass vessels to be engulfed by their motile gametes, seemed to afford them the opposite effect. Surely this lowered their rate of conception rather than raising it, and surely they understood that. And yet, we find so many figurettes entombed within long coagulated excretions. Truly, they were a curious bunch.”

Everything in our environment is carcinogenic, poking into our cells and altering our DNA. Not surprised by this at all! We either become the crab or be eaten by the crab. This is the final truth. That's making me kinda hungry, gonna eat some overlords tonight.
