A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Transcription
A series of Tumblr posts. The first on is by avagarde and it reads “It's so unfair i don't get to see where evolution will go in 50 million years.” geekysteven responds with “crab.” The last post is by Existentialmemes and it reads Crustaceans: Crab, Mammals: Weasel, Plants: Tree, Amphibians & Reptiles: Unchanged because they are perfect, Birds: 360° around back to dinosaurs, Fungi: I shan't speculate on the affairs of gods.”
Anteaters also seem pretty popular with mammalian evolution.
Echo location ant eaters
Can't blame 'em tbh
Until the ants evolve into anteatereaters it's the smart play, free protein all day
180° for birds, I guess.
It’s part of the joke because birds are already dinosaurs
I took it as meaning birds are currently at 180 from dinosaurs and a further 180 will return them to dinosaur status, completing the full 360.
But will sharks be large fish exactly like the ones now, or smaller fish exactly like the ones now?
Yep
I'm upvoting, but in the end, it's cocroach.
Humans would have an 180ª evolution back to lemures, you can notice the beginnings even today.
Only unfair if your not gonna be 70 billion years old, boom gottem.
Somehow crocodiles will make little to no changes.
Octopuses will probably be flying at some point fyi. If they choose to.
I fear the millennium where octopuses figure out how to not die during child rearing.
If those smart motherfuckers ever figure out how to pass on knowledge, humans might get a run for their money.
Thar would be a Children of time knockoff.
I've also heard kangaroo
Can't believe the mistake in this one - Fungi are the gods.
