How... adorrible.

Oh my gosh he's just so cute! This is why we need Gene editing. Screw long life and super intelligence, I want spider turtle!!!

This is too far. It’s just plain heathenistic.

Everybody’s worried about sharks or drop bears or pit bulls… Spider turtle related concussions would be through the roof.

We’d have to wear hard hats in the forest. They’d be dropping out of trees, bonking us on the heads like coconuts.

You’d be trying to go to sleep, but your back hurts, like there’s a knot in it. Nope, you’re lying on top of a spider turtle. It’s shell has been giving you back problems for weeks!!

Imagine… just imagine finding one in the toilet at 2 am. You’d feel way too guilty to pee on it & you’d have to use the other bathroom.

You see cute. I see cold floors & a long, lonely distance with a full bladder… terrifying.

I think you just came up with a fantastic writing prompt for a short story!

[-] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

If anything develops into a screenplay, I want an EP credit 😉

It’s the next evolutionary step, obviously.

[-] 342345@feddit.de 6 points 10 months ago

No. The next step are wings. Imagine flying spiders. 😍

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

It can only be defeated by the crab-turtle-spider - the final step in evolution!

[-] nefurious_krankstar@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

We've got these already, called a coconut crab, and it's not unlikely that they killed and ate Amelia Earheart.

This is just a (very cute) crab with not many extra steps.

Carcinization is an example of a phenomenon called convergent evolution, which is when different groups independently evolve the same traits. It's the same reason both bats and birds have wings.

[-] Something_Complex@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

And there are soooo many of those that ends up in crabs that some evolution cientists joke that we all will end up in the perfect shape.

A crab shape

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

We are all but mere stepping stones of our species glorious path of evolving into crabs.

I think I found my new favorite starter Pokémon.

[-] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Oh no. No, we do not need an armored spider

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago

It will have a mana bar next.

[-] don@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

This creature’s existence is what brings about the creation of hand-held linear particle accelerators (HLPAs), and the nature of warfare is forever changed.

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 5 points 10 months ago

OMG I WANT IT.
