Horseshoe crabs be like

And then humans came along to mess with em

Stupid life-saving copper based blood...
I find it hard to understand, what special thing the blood has, that is not synthetically manufacturable. With most foodstuff companies trying to synthetically manufacture as much of the food as they can, what makes this "Near Threatened" animal, so important to harvest?
- I googled it for you, there is LAL which is a blood clotting agent (that exists only in the blood of horseshoe crabs) that reacts with the bacterial capsule which makes it important for vaccine safety tests. Alternatives do exist but ya know, money is more important to corporations than some animal's life.
It's like a more realistic representation of what Neo would see when he wakes from the Matrix

Doesn't it? It doesn't seem obvious either way. Are you an actual paleontologist, or just guessing?
- One minute earth just did a great video about that https://youtube.com/watch?v=_skYZFmr0Lg

Science abhors a vacuum but it fucking loves a crab

Nature abhors a vaccuum

Nice doggie!

There's no evidence for gods though.

There’s also no evidence that horseshoe crabs have individual names and understand the concept of evolution.
- We do have evidence that at least one species give their members individual names, and at least a portion of the members understand the concept of evolution
  So i would say we have more evidence for this meme being accurate than any god being real
- Fair point. Although one may say this is fine here for comic purposes.
  The same argument could be made about the statement "Gods perfect creation".
  But I'd argue that the suggestion of a creationist god expands the distance to scientific contexts even more while simple speech bubbles are fine due to less ideological conflict potential.
  Admittedly, I am also rather allergic to religions, which is why I am having a difficult time with that part of the meme.
- Me too. It's a science meme community after all.

Yet some of them still managed to evolve into spiders...

They were bored one afternoon

One of the best things I got to do as a kid was go down to horseshoe crab time at the shore at pet them and hear a science human talk about their fancy blood. The fancy blood of the horseshoe crabs, not the science human's blood.
