From an evolutionary perspective, this is true!
Slugs have evolved multiple times from snails, due to calcium poverty, dividing off into separate species when they couldn't get the resources for shells

That's really fucking cool.
I believe crabs have evolved independently several times too
For different reasons.
Slugs evolve because it wasn't economically viable to be snails anymore.
Crabs evolve because it's so cool to be a crab
I showed this to my mom and she laughed really hard 😭😆
How old were you when your parents got divorced? 😉
Damn!
I thought slugs with caterpillars with depression?
Fun fact: slugs are called naked snails in German (Nacktschnecken)
This implies two snails at some point lived in the same shell
Two snails one cup
Thanks I hate it
