So, lemme get this straight: first they ache like bastards, and now they also induce anxiety. I say we boycott bones.

It turns out jellyfish have been the ideal species the whole time.

No brains to worry with, no bones to hurt or cause anxiety.

Crabs know what’s up too, that’s why they wear their skeleton as an armor. Can’t hurt you if it’s outside.

I wanna be a shark. Only bones are the teeth and THEY ARE REPLACEABLE

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why don’t we get replaceable teeth?

Plus, functional immortality outside of being eaten. And who the heck wants to eat jellyfish. Seems like a sweet gig.

Plus they cleverly evolved ahead of time to be camouflaged against all our plastic pollution, so their few predators keep choking on plastic bags instesd

Turtles eat jellyfish. And so do the Chinese. That immorality be tasty.

Jellyfish hate consent.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Yes! Abolish skeletons! Let’s become Jellyfish.

Take 'em out and throw 'em away. What use could they possibly be?
