We just generally call all of that type of seafood prawns for some reason, also I just found out that shrimp and prawns are 2 different things how I didn't know that is beyond me.

We do have types of crawfish here but they I don't see them sold very often. I'm not sure you can eat some types like yappies because they are classified as endangered, but I don't know much about crawfish to say for sure. (Also I know it's crayfish but Corpfish/Crawdant has made me say crawfish now so...)

What did those people spending $thousand$ (or $milliion$?) for some x number of lines of code expecting?

yeah I don't know why they thought that people would think that digital scarcity would work even remotely well.
The market was doomed to fail from the start. NFTs had no life, it was another grift to make money, everything surrounding the market was full of over-promises and was ripe with fraud and scams. These prices were never sustainable, because everyone was insider trading (it was actually encouraged to do so the nft bros are so strange) and hoping you would believe they were actually worth that price.
Glad to see no one cares about them anymore, such a joke.

A very different creature with the same name end has been bedeviling beekeepers worldwide for decades, but even though it was of Asian origin it had somehow missed Australia until recently.
