Me: “That episode of Star Trek where everyone suddenly devolves into an early ancestor species. Is it weirder that Barclay the human turned into a giant spider, or that Spot the domestic cat turned into an iguana while giving birth? And anyway, why wasn’t Spot spayed?”
“but why did barclay turn into a spider” is just the lorem ipsum of my brain tbh
The human thing.
Cats aren’t directly descended from iguanas, but they’re descended from something lizardlike. There was probably something iguana-shaped in there somewhere.
Humans have never been giant spiders. Lizardy things, sure, but not giant spiders.
