these are rad - they steal whole stinging cells from portugese man o war and stuff, but only the most toxic ones so that they're actually worse than being stung by the creature whose cells they've hijacked

also quite pretty!

I do this with bird calls and rodent and muskelid noises. Amazingly, otters actually make the super cute squeaking noises they use for adorable small animals in Hollywood.

Dancing in the water, right above the 'tip' of the shell, I think.
You can see something that looks like a crab jollily jiggling around in the water, doing crab business.

Jonathan Livingston Crab died last month at 44 1/2 years old.

2016 posted:

Jon’s great age is an amazing accomplishment, but can you really have a relationship with a crab? Ormes says Jon can tell her apart from other people, and he clearly seeks out her company. “He follows me places. When I’m out on the lanai [enclosed porch] on my computer he comes out there and climbs on my feet, if I go to the morning room he comes out there and walks around the table,” she says. “If I go out and leave him out of his tank, I come home and he’s at the front door.”

Ormes thinks that all that exercise outside the tank is one of the factors that kept her crabs healthy for so long. These days, Jonathan Livingston Crab keeps her active too, since he likes to get under the furniture. She’ll be 80 at the end of October, and, she says, “I still have to crawl around on my hands and knees looking for him.”

What? Never seen a shaved Squatch before?

I found the paper: https://wpmedia.wolfram.com/uploads/sites/13/2018/02/20-2-2.pdf

quote:

We speculated that swarms can behave similarly to billiard balls and thus implement basic circuits of collision-based computing.

E: in case you were worried about the crabs

quote:

Ethical Note
No specific license was required for this work. The duration of any
single experiment was so short that no crab was ever endangered. The
crabs were kept in comfortable conditions and after all experiments
were released to their natural habitat. Furthermore, on visual inspection, no crabs appeared to have been injured or adversely affected by
the experiments.

So if this were a company, would they eventually create an army of terminator crabs or an army of crabs that carcinize(?) the inferior beings of this world?

Same thing as mechatronics, it's both a crab based industrial systems corporation AND a discipline, just centred on organi-optical computing instead of electronic & mechanical control.
