I just learned that if a hermit crab finds a new shell that is too big it will wait for other hermit crabs who need new shells to gather and then they will organize themselves by size and trade shells and I am pissed that the crabs have a better housing market than we do
this was a joke analysis until people were like “yeah well my hermit crabs who all shared a tank and didn’t have any other shells besides the ones the other hermit crabs were using all killed each other and died trying to make tiny shells work” and now I think you need it lol
@cottoncandaddy @MNateShyamalan The Zillow crab comes in and buys a bunch of shells at a higher price to drive the average price up of all shells. The Zillow is a predator.
@cottoncandaddy @CRShort81 I witnessed this recently on a beach in the Maldives..
@cottoncandaddy Sounds way too social to be a hermit
@cottoncandaddy @se4realhinton are they happy as a clam ??
@cottoncandaddy Pure greed. I know an elderly couple who stay in a 4 bed house. (Social housing tenant) There son raises a family of 5 in a 2 bed flat. (Social housing) They don't see a problem in this. It's greed. Pure selfish greed.
@cottoncandaddy Sounds like they have more smarts than some of our fellow humans too.
