    Land will be trees, beaches will be crabs, and I’ve heard oceans will be nothing but jellyfish

  I thought crab-like animals were all actually pretty closely related to each other, i.e. all crab-like animals are arthropods, which is a less broad category than ‘all the plants that can form a wooden trunk’. Any taxonomists here to confirm/deny?

    Things have independently evolved into crabs like five times or something

      Yes, but I think OP’s point is those 5-6 crab-events all came from a narrow taxonomic group. All plant families have some trees. Only one sub-group of animals contains crabs.

      It is as if all trees only came from members of the lily family.

    Scishow had an episode about it a week ago. It’s a strategy, not a species.

    Something poetic and quaint about a link to a Wikipedia article titled “Tree”

      reddit has broken me. I was expecting it to point to weed.
