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
i think it's like "tree" and "fish", which is not a phylogenetic group but a certain shape/form/expression.
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.
One of the definitions of bug is "small arthropod with many legs"
Take your nerdmode into the shop, its database is defective.
Shrimps is 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.
Ice is just water at a different temperature.
The difference being even bigger between crustaceans and bugs just makes my point stronger.
Thought you were just shitposting with that name...
Now I just wish you were.
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.)
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.
It's almost as absurd as comparing fish to fish
fish aren’t even real
You're a fish
Oh fuck
Ichthyophobia isn't cool. Take your hateful beliefs elsewhere.

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.

Fixing the bugs
I don't eat cereal without milk, so why would I eat my bugs without saltwater.

I used to love shrimp but in the past few years I've started going off it, not sure why.
Non-alarmist answer: tastes can change over time for no real reason. Some mild reasons it could change is pallet fatigue, prep and cook time seeming not worth it and so you crave it less, and changes in overall perception. A person who is slowly becoming vegan for moral or health reasons will naturally stop wanting certain meat products.
Alarmist answer: I don't know man. You've probably got some weird cancer or something.
*palate fatigue
I work in wine importing so this is a mistake I make all the damn time.
pallet- thing used to strap stuff to so they can be put on containers (for container trucks and ships).
palate - roof of your mouth or an alternate word for your taste
Palette- painter’s thing for holding paint.
Speech to text strikes again.
Increasingly alarmist answer: you’ve heard about eyestalk ablation and it’s subconsciously ruining your enjoyment of farmed shrimp
The fucking horrors we do. Hey if we give them anaesthetic before we burn out their eyes they seem less distressed. Fucking gross.
Lack of deveining?
Maybe it's because you now know they are bugs
i Don't eat cereal without bugs, why would i eat my Water without Them?
