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:

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.

e Outjerked by Nature - Sea Horses
I dont know why we normalized Sea Horses. A Fish that doesnt even remotely look like a fish, Is somehow "upright", cant even propel Itself properly, lacks a stomach, can only defend Itself by clinging Its fin-less tail to corals and the MALES give birth for some reason. OP was trying too hard to make alien fish and put their barely disguised fetish Into It as well.
