I know it’s a shitpost, but i hate that people interpret carcinisation as a crab being the ultimate piece of evolution.
When learning evolution like algorithms in computer science, one of the first things you learn is strategies to not get stuck in locally optimal solutions (solutions that seem the best when you look at other nearby solutions, but are worse than other solutions if you allow your algorithm to look further away).
Crabs seem like that, it’s just an easy defensive evolution that then stagnates in a form that kind of works. Seeing how many crabs we eat, and how few crabs eat us, it’s obvious that crabs aren’t the actual pinnacle of evolution, just some locally optimal solution that evolution tends to get stuck in :p.
I understand your point but some of history’s most publicized and powerful figures have been consumed by crabs. Amelia Earhart and countless other well known examples through history show the crab threat is much more present and real than you imply.

This is why I stopped shitposting, too many sweats
We will see (or not) who has the last laugh, crabs or homo sapiens sapiens?
Like came back in a million years. Bet crabs are going to be still around while we’ll already extinct.
It’s gonna be homo sapiens unless crabs evolve laughter.
After several days of what I can only describe as ill-informed pro crab propaganda posts all over lemmy I realy needed this. Thank you.
Exactly. It’s a local minimum/maximum optimization problem as applied to genetics and evolution.
