SCP-6010-A instances that were previously human retain a human level of consciousness and all memories formed before the transformation.

the SCP Foundation has the help you need, in Crab Sign Language, or CSL for short

This SCP had me rolling lmao

Given enough time, the probability of carcinization being mentioned in any given conversation approaches one. This is known as metacarcinization.

Okay, but where is any credit to the original artist? They seem like someone I want to see more comics from.

I got it via text message from a friend, but tineye says https://www.reddit.com/r/HotPaper/

Too bad they're on every site I plan not to visit ever again (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit)

[-] Godnroc@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

Bottom-right of the first panel has "@HotPaperComics" written.

How do they keep doing this

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 19 points 8 months ago

They don't have their finger on the pulse of the nerd zeitgeist, they are the zeitgeist.

That's the second time in ten minutes that I bumped into a relevant xkcd this morning!

tl;dr: Crabs are the perfect life form and we all yearn to evolve into them.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

... a form of convergent evolution in which non-crab crustaceans evolve a crab-like body plan

Applies to crustaceans only. :(

So it'd be like talking about lifes "many attempts at making a cow" and showing a bunch of bull like animals with horns.

Similar lifeforms, once put in a similar environment for a long period of time, tend to develop similar features.

I love the joke, but technically carcinisation is only about non-crab crustaceans and their divergent evolution into crab-like forms, and it’s not referring to the evolution of other organisms at all

Oh, Charmander is a Pokémon from the videogame Pokémon. In the video the titular animals evolve into different, stronger animals.

They fight battles and after winning enough of them it triggers their evolution.

The joke is that instead of evolving as they do in the videogame, they instead follow the meme concept of carcinisation and all evolved into a crab shaped Pokémon.

Why are they all attacking the kid?

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's a bit of a horror movie trope, where the protagonist is an 'other' and slowly swarmed by a group of identical or similar enough beings.

The implication being that their difference is not wanted and/or that they know too much about the situation which could be a threat, this further ties into the carcinisation joke because everything else has become a crab except for this one child.
