Honestly I'd like to see some evolutionary biologists who are way too invested actually have that argument. Because yeah, yours has remained the same for pretty much the longest of all species...but OP's keeps repeatedly evolving
But is the mantis shrimp just a one trick pony? What’s the breakdown on general feasibility versus specialization? Or is the mantis shrimp truly the secret weapon that crabs wish they were?

Am I a joke to you?

Clearly a crab who has manned its battle station

It's false though. The mantis shrimp would easily destroy a crab with 1 punch
The mantis shrimp is peak performance.
Found this too- https://youtu.be/VhyFTpZXBO4&t=36s

Can you think of the evolutionary pressures it went through to develop it's eyes, colors, and .22 round punch?
I shudder to think what it's ancestors faced.
Like the BOBBIT WORM

crabs may be better in nearly every aspect,, but have you considered that crabs don't see 16 primary colors

Crabs barely see at all

Broke: carcinisation is evidence that crab bodies are peak performance
Woke: carcinisation is evidence that crab bodies are a noob trap, because no crabs are top tier predators despite being so widespread

Cool meme but the nerd in me needs to point out that carcinisation is seen in non-crab crustaceans, not all animals in general
peopleproblems@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y
Not yet.
We might see marine animals trend towards dolphins, but given enough time, does a dolphin become a crab, or does a crab become a dolphin?

Cute comment, but the nerd in me needs you to provide a sauce for making a statement like that. You can’t extrapolate evolution like that, brah
peopleproblems@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Which part? Convergent evolution towards a dolphin? (Dolphins and ichthyosaurus) Or the question of Dolphin to Crab or Crab to dolphin?
We gotta wait another hundred million years to find out that answer.
Thteven@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
We must evolve to crab if we want to survive
