    They roly and they poly. No better names exist.

    Re: your username: Is a Replicant Batty Coda just a normal Batty Coda? He’s already a cyborg with crappy/ intermittent reception.

      I had to look that up lol, I’ve never seen Fern Gully. The username is a reference to Roy Batty, the character from Blade Runner.

        Ahh, gotcha. It’s a good movie. Kinda sad looking back. Robin Williams played Batty Coda, so I remember the character fondly.

    Roly-poly is correct, but I’ll also accept potato bug.

      • tetris11@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  This is the first time I’ve heard anyone call them anything other than a woodlouse

  source

  • jabathekek@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    You must be referring to the Woodlouse Hunter which hunts… *checks notes …Granny Grunters.

    I only ever called them woodlouses when I learned that name as a teenager because everyone here always called them “roly-polies.”

    • smeg@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Roly polies does sound adorable, I’ll give you that

• someacnt_@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  • jabathekek@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    No, I mean a sow bug.
