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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Insects are crustaceans. As are isopods. Interestingly, spiders are not

Shrimps is bugs!

One of the definitions of bug is "small arthropod with many legs"

Take your nerdmode into the shop, its database is defective.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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.
