Sea bugs come pre-seasoned

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

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 13 hours ago

Ice is just water at a different temperature.

The difference being even bigger between crustaceans and bugs just makes my point stronger.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago

Thought you were just shitposting with that name...

Now I just wish you were.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (4 children)

It's almost as absurd as comparing fish to fish

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.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

how tf can you call seafood wet bugs????

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Because shrimp is bugs that is wet

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

NO. SHRIMP IS SHRIMP 😤😤 have some respect

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

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

Fixing the bugs

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I used to love shrimp but in the past few years I've started going off it, not sure why.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

*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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

The fucking horrors we do. Hey if we give them anaesthetic before we burn out their eyes they seem less distressed. Fucking gross.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Lack of deveining?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Maybe it's because you now know they are bugs

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

i Don't eat cereal without bugs, why would i eat my Water without Them?
