Yes, in the sense that they have fat stores. The example that comes to mind is pretty disturbing, so here's your chance not to read it: >!I read a thing about cockroach cognition a while ago but can't find it again, but it was about how the scientists studying them imposed human personality traits to them but got a harsh reminder that the behavior patterns weren't necessarily signs of intelligence or personality when accidentally crushing ones abdomen and seeing it try to eat its own exposed fat.!<

Not sure if it's my specific app or lemmy as a whole, but that spoiler tag isn't working. Sometimes they'll break if you put a space between the tag and your text.

! Testing with spaces on both ends !<

! Testing with a space at the front!<

!Testing with a space at the end !<

!Testing with no spaces!<

Looks like reddit spoiler tags just don't work in general

Weird thing is, for me on Sync, tapping the third spoiler removes the symbols from the first two lines before removing the one I'm tapping on.

This is me tapping the third line three times, and then tapping the first line...

Tried without a space. Works on my client, but my client isn't actively developed anymore.
