    Overrun? They were there first.

      TBF I think “overrun” refers to the crabs’ annual migration, but I also find the phrasing a little off.

    I would never have believed Google planned on taking over the world with AI crabs until they said this. "We are not constructing ‘a large artificial intelligence data centre’ on Christmas Island,”

      Why did they put such tremendous effort and then give all the crabs 8 legs though…

        Because that’s how many legs crabs have…

        They actually have ten, but I’m guessing you’re not counting their claws.

    So thaaat’s the island that SeaQuest DSV traveled to 225 (maybe 218 now) years into the future to find out there were two teens on an island battling it out with video games…

    spoiler for a very old show

    and it turns out they are the only two humans left on Earth and they’re controlling IRL mechs and it ends up being an Adam and Eve situation.
