Humans are cheating since we’ll eat anything that’s edible, and a lot of things that aren’t supposed to be.

I just ate a burrito drowned in apricot-habanero hot sauce which I further modified by adding extra habaneros and red thai chilis. I’m pretty sure capsaicin was meant to deter mammals from eating hot peppers.

Like petroleum. Well, stuff made from it anyway.

A competitor to crabs

Kind of the opposite, looks like evolution is trying desperately to get rid of ants, lol. Possibly replacing them with crabs.

Turn the ants into crabs.
Crab ants crab ants crab ants crab ants crab ants… And now it reads like a slur

Any explanation for why there was similar convergent evolution toward goofy names? C’mon, numbat, mongoose, sloth bear, aardvark, pangolin, echidna? No way that’s coincidence.

I guess, they’d have a tendency to look goofy, so they can stick their snouts into ant hills, and then we might’ve named them accordingly?

If there’s a lot of something, we mammals are going to learn how to eat it.

Exactly. The ants were doing a lot more than existing

Carbon is supposed to make up about 18.5% of the mass of a human body. So 60 megatons divided by 18.5% is 324 megatons.
