The ancestor of all of us, animals, bugs and plants. So we eat always our parents-
I am sick of the portion sizes at fancy restaurants. This ฮผm of deconstructed food is overpriced.
Well, this has been one of my favorite threads I've seen in a while. Thanks everyone!
In Australia the spiders don't eat bugs, they mostly eat low flying birds and posties
Is it also true that the kangaroos steal all the women too with their statuesque muscles?

Rattling off insect classifications while a simple pun goes over you're head is a great demonstration of the difference between knowledge and intelligence.

Yeah, but I'm not fixing it, you big dumb bitch.
That was at least 3x funnier than it should have been.
Well done.
I'm not big.

Ok but "bug" has multiple meanings, and almost nobody means "hemiptera" when they say it. More commonly, it's any terrestrial arthropod. Arachnids are bugs. Centipedes are definitely bugs.
Heck, there's a broader definition that basically includes all arthropods. "Moreton bay bugs" are a popular food this time of year. And they're a kind of lobster.
The ocean is quite literally lousy with sea lice. They've even got rolly-pollies down there.
Not just roly-polies, but Rollison J. Pollimagnussons:
What in the name of Cthulhu is this?
Rollison. And he is a rather pleasant dude.

โBugโ is a folksy word for any invertebrate with 6 or more legs. For example, they call lobsters and crayfish bugs.
I've learned recently that "Vegetable" is kind of like that too. Like most vegetables are fruits, seeds, leaves, roots, etc etc. Vegetable is a culinary term, not a botanical one, and it's still foggy. It's basically a plant that isn't sweet, but they also call sweet corn a vegetable so whatever.
Not only is vegetable like that, but "fruit" is like that too. Notably, apples and strawberries are not botanical fruits, each little "seed" on the strawberry is the fruit, and the section of core around each apple seed.
The human being shares 70% of the DNA with a potato, some people many more
many people call slugs, snails, and worms bugs too. So any invertibrate with the right vibes

Sometimes calling someone a big dumb bitch is the only appropriate course of action.
