TIL lobsters do not die due to aging. They become stronger and more fertile with age due to the presence of enzyme telomerase which tepairs DNA sequence.

you’re telling me, if left unharmed, lobsters survive the ravages of time and gain progressively more fuck power as it goes on

Literally the only reason they are so small is overfishing and we are eating them essentially as toddlers. This is how big they are suppose to be.

Humans have bigger brains and the ability to walk upright; lobsters get to live forever.

Seems fair.

This is how Ebirah, Horror of the Deep came to be

He went uneaten for so long he grew large and powerful enough to battle Godzilla, which is the true goal of every lobster 😀

Immortal eldritch beasts. *considers starting a cult*

Ooooooooo

How does one go about joining your Lobster Cult

Sacrifice lots and lots of plaid things… The gay plaid lobster shall reign supreme!!

They’re gonna be real mad when they realize we’ve been eating their toddlers

Lobsters do eventually die of natural causes, but only when they grow so big that their bodies can no longer support their own mass. They also grow at varying speeds depending on the amount of food available. You could keep a lobster alive and healthy for probably several hundred years if you carefully moderated its food intake for its whole life- enough to keep it fed and growing without it growing at maximum speed.
