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

Looks yummy what are they drinking?

Some kind of blueberry drink, looks like. Through their backs.

At least the nautilus listened

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

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.

More like add all the fun, that's interesting!

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?

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago

Something about the drudgery of modern existence, I suspect.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 14 points 1 month 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.
