It's on its way out, a synthetic replacement has been around, but one company had a monopoly on it, so no one used it. A second synthetic replacement is now available so synthetic should start overtaking the blood. The crabs survived the meteor, and they will survive the garden gnomes as well.
Humans are definitely horseshoe crab territory at this point right? There's no way natural selection is strong enough to greatly change our form at this point.
if the theory about ancient thermal maximums being ancient civilizations that got wiped out of the geological record by time is true (it is), and humans aren't going to do any better than the last 2-3 sapient species that industrialized, we have maybe another hundred years before destroying ourselves.
never mind, you are correct. seems like they would be around billions. i am probably thinking of trilobites..and nope also 500 mil years old. i should be concentrating on biology more
Nobody uses the second definition except for history buffs, usually in the same paragraph explaining that the meaning has changed.

Fuck off, many non-English cultures use it. That's why people here think the US are richer than they are all the time.

What terms do they use for 1^9 then, and why would that not translate outside of computer programmed translations? Or do they say billion for both 1^9 and 1^12, or say one thousand million sort of deal every time? Either of the latter two seems ridiculous to me atm.

As it is in every non retarded language that uses the million root based number names.
Most asian languages are a different breed of retardation with non recursive systems.

It's not really confusing. Everyone uses the same scale so there are no miscommunications. Except when some dumb fuck journalist is not even aware short scale exists, and translates 'trillion' to "trylion" (quintillion in my language).
Having said that, anyone who claims "billion" has two definitions is a moron. No, we're talking in English and there's only one meaning. It's like saying "pain" has two definitions because it's also "bread" in french.

and by that, I mean in the conceptual state. It's easier to comprehend when a different term is made for the next logical step. I assume you understand that and are just playing devil's advocate, though, and am clarifying in hopes to reduce shitposts (a forlorn effort here, I know, and still stupidly do so).

So the only reason you are fine with ten million and hundred million but not thousand million is cultural.
Otherwise you would complain about not having terms for them as well.

Fuck short scale.
Billion = 1 000 000 000 000
It's a million squared. So power 2. Bi (two) llion.
Much more logical.
But I guess it's fitting to use retarded shit.

Earth is a few 10^9 years old, and life took 10^9 more years to get established.
Reminder that Horseshoe crabs are on the brink of extinction due to literal blood sucking Americans who cannot into modern medicine.
apparently i started a shitshow by correcting a turd

You are all extremely gay.
once you reach max level you stop leveling
These things terrify me because of the thought of accidentally stepping on one at the beach and crushing it.
You're not gonna crush it, how fragile do you think they are?
t. accidentally stepped on one and sliced my foot open
They make great space fighters.
>Oh yeah, mr. Krabs!
Only Wauf could start a thread about a based crab and 90% of the thread be arguments and insults. Never change you lovable autistic gays.
They're not crabs.
Yes they are, it’s in the name
wait what? they return them to the ocean? doesn't being out of water for long periods, or atleast the stress of the whole ordeal, kill them?
I read a book that said the best facilities have a 3-5% death rate. Some sources claim it's as high as 10%.
What he said
>this bleeds the crab
Man fuck gatorade
What does the blood taste like you think?
Pretty sure blue blooded animals are a thing because they have copper in their blood instead of iron, so probably like copper
The USA is committing genocide
I'm not a veganfag but this shit makes me so mad.
Leave those fucking dinos alone you gays.

Them eggs are delicious
It changed a lot, actually.
Is that its digestive system or parasites?
Gills.

Mention it as a way to dismiss periods of pre human global warming to climate scientists and the scientific papers will flow.
Wrong board
Back to your containment board retards.
literally me
You can't beat perfection
yummy dinosaur innards juice
wrong.
they did many things and such attempts were all broken down by other organisms. they have been trapped in the same niche as a result.

Billion has more than one definition
No it doesn't.

It’s the same thing though
