all of the comments are assuming this is how evolution works... and most dont even seem to be sarcastic

do people really think this is how it works or am i going crazy?

People really think this. Most peoples knowledge stops at "evolution is when thing become better". And people that do realize don't talk about evolutionary pressure in the gut microbiome in the comic community.

They got their evolution knowledge from digimon. Bacteria turns into dinosaur turns into refrigerator turns into skeleton.

Yeah, obviously they won't evolve into dinosaurs, they'll evolve into crabs

try { lifeform.Evolve(); } catch(...) { lifeform.Crab(); }

If they live forever, they're not evolving. They're mutating.

the person lives forever, its the bacteria inside them that evolves

Mitochondria. They found their niche (every multicellular creature in the world) and won. Very little change since then.
