Crab is best because most are protected from whatever wasp has evolved specifically to end its life in mind boggling terrible ways.

in the end it will be crab vs wasp
I'd watch that.
Evolution is not magic, it can only make new crabs.
Every 5th time it's a beetle.
What is this, a meme for ants? (image size is very small and no larger version available)
Some apps have a lot of trouble viewing full sized images. Try opening it from Mander in a browser.
It’s fine from when I’m standing (using Voyager). What client are you using?
Hmmm, interesting. I'm just using the default Lemmy interface (lemmynsfw.com instance) and Firefox on a Windows 10 PC, at the moment. Definitely no larger version appears when expanding or clicking.
Edit: It loads on Connect on Android, but is a two-stage load with the higher quality version loading after the lower quality version. For some reason that isn't happening on the PC web client, must be a bug.
The web interface sets a maximum height for the images (what's not even very useful, because they are not expanded by default).
I have no idea why the devs choose that behavior. But you can view them without CSS if you open the image in a new tab.
Weird, opening the image in a new tab is still the low-res version.
THE GOOD PLACE!!
This is kinda backwards. Biodiversity is a result of random mutation over millions of years. Evolution is the result of selective pressures "choosing" from that diversity. It doesn't create or provide biodiversity, it depends on it, so biodiversity should be the one providing crabs. Evolution just thinks they're neat.
issa joke
Evolutionary pressures form new organisms, which feed biodiversity. More crabs aren't as diverse as that sounds.
Man, I just started Man on the Inside by Michael Schur with Ted Danson, and it's pretty good, but it's not The Good Place. Looks like it's time for another rewatch
