  Paul, John, George, and Ringo were 4 friends, and they were all Beatles, so I think they might have skewed this data a little?

    I don’t think those 4 friends ever worked with Eric Burdon, Hilton Valentine, Chas Chandler, Alan Price, or John Steel actually, so the data probably isn’t being affected.

    They choose to be beetles… we should distinguish generically assigned from chosen traits.

      Some are born beetles, some achieve beetleness and some have beetleness thrust upon them.

  Isn’t it one in every four different animals that are beetles? I’d imagine if you picked four random animals they’d mainly be nematodes. Or if it’s by mass they’d be humans and cows!

    Pedantry is always important! I would argue that ants would be selected over humans by both mass and population

    What about plankton? Aren’t they animals?

    • smeg@feddit.uk ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Marine plankton include bacteria, archaea, algae, protozoa, microscopic fungi,[4] and drifting or floating animals that inhabit the saltwater of oceans and the brackish waters of estuaries

      Apparently they’re all sorts!

  1 out of every four species on the planet is a beetle. Category counts =/= population size.

  • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Think of 3 of your favorite species. If none of them are a beetle, you’re a beetle.

  Oh no, now I feel like I have awoken from turbulent dreams and find myself suddenly transformed into a beetle.
