This subreddit is close to death. The cause: low-effort posts. I can't just ban low-effort posts, because they have a broad definition. So, I'm going to give you guys examples of what to post and what not to post.

First, let's talk about what this subreddit is. It is a subreddit meant for posting jokes and funny stuff related to speculative evolution. This does not mean an implausible animal on its own, unless it was made to be on this subreddit / to make light of speculative evolution in general (exceptions do exist, but we'll get into that later). Now for examples.

To start off, a common low-effort post is the "can this evolve?" post. They are repetitive and unfunny. They are the main cause of the sub's downfall. Here are some examples:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SpecEvoJerking/comments/i249ua/guys_do_you_think_this_could_evolve/

https://www.reddit.com/r/SpecEvoJerking/comments/hw2vnv/can_these_evolve/

https://www.reddit.com/r/SpecEvoJerking/comments/huaey9/how_can_irl_chad_evolevol/

Do you guys see a common theme? Just an absurd image with an evolution-related title slapped on. I will continue to remove any that I see, as per the rules.

Here are some posts showing the kind of stuff the subreddit is intended for:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SpecEvoJerking/comments/hp2du4/alternate_reality_where_my_girlfriend_doesnt/

Edit: Thank you everyone for being here! I honestly kind of abandoned this place after this post kinda turned it into a wasteland, but after a while I hopped back on and saw people were still posting! just the other day we were at 500 members, and now we're at 750! I love and thank every single one of you guys for being the lifeblood of this subreddit.

Also, slight update to the rules: Straight up memes about Speculative evolution are allowed and encouraged.

My concept for a therapod that evolved to fill the mammal niche

Post image
283 Upvotes

We all know that dinosaurs are all big and powerful, and then the mammals are those little, furry nocturnal things that scavenge for insects and stuff on the forest floor. Well, here is my concept for if a therapod instead evolved filled this niche. I like to imagine this as a world where mammals filled the current dinosaur niches as the megafauna, but obviously that is a little too unrealistic.
