Those ugly bastards got milked so that we could live. They really did help save our ass during the pandemic

At least the nautilus listened

He didn't. All but one of his diverse descendants were wiped out along with the dinosaurs, relatively "recently".

I mean if you want to suck the fun out of it only 4/22 of horseshoe crab species survived.

Saying any species not evolving for millions of years is a misnomer anyway. A living fossil only superficially resemble ancient species. Since both nautilus and horseshoe crabs are considered living fossils I thought it's a fair comparison.

But this is a silly little comic ultimately about the existential dread of modern human life so this level of pedantry isn't needed.

They are the true blue bloods of the animal kingdom, they are already at the pinnacle.

Must be fun winning evolution off the hop

What’s the guy on the computer supposed to be about?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Something about the drudgery of modern existence, I suspect.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

That's what they evolved into. Crab is happy staying a crab

Ironic it's a nautilus talking about evolving

I like triops.

I'm not sure I understand. There's a nautilus, croc, shark, trilobite - so is the point that non of them really evolved? I feel dumb today.
