Micah Ilbery :sloth_coffee:<p>I was made aware of the Playstacean and<br>1.) I NEED one<br>but<br>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.

DoomsdaysCW<p>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.</p><p>Animals Keep Evolving Into <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Crabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Crabs</span></a>, and Scientists Don't Know Why</p><p>"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.</p><p>"The phenomenon is so widely known that it's been given a name — <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/carcinization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>carcinization</span></a>, 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.</p><p>"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.

Thomas A. Hegna, Ph.D<p>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?
