A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Idk where this myth started from but shrimp and lobsters are crustaceans, a separate class of arthropods within the phylum arthropoda. arthropoda is a massive phylum and bugs belong to the class insecta. lobsters and shrimp belong to crustacea so calling shrimp bugs is like calling whales hippos because they're both from the clade artiodactyla /nerdmode off
One of the definitions of bug is "small arthropod with many legs"
Take your nerdmode into the shop, its database is defective.
i think it's like "tree" and "fish", which is not a phylogenetic group but a certain shape/form/expression.
Shrimps is bugs!
Insects are crustaceans. As are isopods. Interestingly, spiders are not
Actually, hexapoda was moved taxonomically to be classed as Crustaceans due to new research. The new clade is called Pancrustacea. Insects can now properly be called "terrestrial crustaceans"
I would however like to point out that literally none of the pictured animals are bugs.
lukewarm coffee: gross
hot coffee: great
it's almost as if different things are different
You mentioned the same thing, at different temperatures. It's literally the same THING.
A shrimp is not the same thing as a Megaloblatta Longipennis.
Thought you were just shitposting with that name...
Now I just wish you were.
Ice is just water at a different temperature.
The difference being even bigger between crustaceans and bugs just makes my point stronger.
Im only down with eating clean bugs that are large enough to have enough substance to be worthwhile or whatever makes it into processed foods and “foods” that I eat (jelly beans arent really food and frequently have shellac and that comes from a specific beetle.)
Sea bugs come pre-seasoned
how tf can you call seafood wet bugs????
Because shrimp is bugs that is wet
NO. SHRIMP IS SHRIMP 😤😤 have some respect
Shrimp is shrimp and shrimp is bugs.
The question should not be whether that is a problem, the question is what other tasty bugs are you missing out on due to cultural programming?
Having tried chocolate locusts and spicy scorpions, I personally can say: not a lot, actually, I don't like any of them.
I think the problem is we don’t have huge ol crickets that are lobster sized. Otherwise you’d have Red Locust and all you can eat grasshopper legs.

take it back
The line of arthropods that broke off to become Insecta did so in the Devonian Period, roughly 400 million years ago. Centipedes evolved in the fucking Silurian. Comparing these two groups is kinda like comparing raccoons, possums, and platypuses to fish.
