What makes me lose my sleep:

Trees are extremely iconic and we see a lot of similarities between them, but they're mostly due to convergent evolution. Plants have been growing that stalk independently over and over and over. Crustaceans become crab-like, mammals become ant eaters, and plants become trees. *carcinisation intensifies*
