EP081: Shriek to Your Heart's Content

Creating a lobster a suit is a highly complex and unusual endeavor, primarily due to the inherent challenges associated with the lobster's anatomy and behavior. Lobsters possess a rigid exoskeleton that makes crafting a suit that fits both technically and ethically problematic, as it would require modifying their natural armor. Furthermore, lobsters are aquatic creatures and breathe through gills, so creating a functional underwater suit that provides oxygen and maintains the appropriate water conditions presents significant engineering challenges. The ethical implications of altering the natural state of a living creature are also a serious consideration, involving questions of animal welfare and environmental responsibility. In essence, designing a lobster a suit is an intricate task that involves aspects of biology, engineering, and ethics, and it remains a highly unconventional concept with a multitude of complex hurdles to overcome.
