And they drink Bug Lite when they’re concerned about their weight.

why would they drink Bug Lite when they’re concerned about their weight? i assume you mean they’re concerned that they have too little weight

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

“Bug” is a folksy word for any invertebrate with 6 or more legs. For example, they call lobsters and crayfish bugs.
Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
many people call slugs, snails, and worms bugs too. So any invertibrate with the right vibes
AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 1 month ago
So there is no such thing as a bug, in the same way that there is no such thing as a tree
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
i sometimes call anything an insect that’s smaller than a small rabbit or lizard (depending on the mood of day) and has no spine.
MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.
porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
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
Iunnrais@lemmy.world 1 month ago
If a pillbug/rollypoly/potato bug/doodlebug/ <whatever your region calls it> is a bug? Then lobsters and crabs are absolutely bugs. This actually doesn’t bother me.
MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Lobsters and Crabs are 100% giant sea insects. Shrimp are basically giant sea gnats. They are tasty and provide nutrients. No problem there. Plenty of cultures eat land insects.
pyre@lemmy.world 1 month ago
bug is typically something that stings, while insect is more generic.
T156@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Not always. Flies, ants, and mosquitoes are all considered bugs, despite having no stinging capacity to speak of.
Dasus@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Well no but yes.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemiptera
Hemiptera (/hɛˈmɪptərə/; from Ancient Greek hemipterus ‘half-winged’) is an order of insects, commonly called true bugs, comprising more than 80,000 species within groups such as the cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, assassin bugs, bed bugs, and shield bugs. They range in size from 1 mm (0.04 in) to around 15 cm (6 in), and share a common arrangement of piercing-sucking mouthparts.[3] The name “true bugs” is sometimes limited to the suborder Heteroptera.[4]
But wasps can sting and they’re not bugs. They can also bite. So the key part is piercing with their mouth. For true bugs (as in the biological sense)

Does “bug” have a technical definition? If so then it’s news to me and everyone who uses it to mean pretty much any small invertebrate (or microorganism, or software defect).
NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net 1 month ago
smeg@feddit.uk 1 month ago
Entomologists reserve the term bug for Hemiptera or Heteroptera, which does not include other arthropods or insects of other orders such as ants, bees, beetles, or butterflies. In some varieties of English, all terrestrial arthropods (including non-insect arachnids and myriapods) also fall under the colloquial understanding of bug.
Sounds like those entomologists should have tried a bit harder either in educating the masses or choosing names!
Bob_Odenkirk@hexbear.net 1 month ago
Nah bugs are any little land creepy crawly, maybe an even slugs and snails.

No. Insects have 6 legs, spiders have 8.

Are they in some separate category?

There are three types of academics, ones that are addicted to alcohol, ones that are addicted to caffeine, and ones that are addicted to both.
(For health reasons I dont reccomend both at the same time)

I’ll never forget my proffessor that just slammed monster and chain smoked cigarettes during fieldwork.
I only saw him drink water once. It was about 115 (Fahrenheit) and he took a single sip of water from a nalgene before putting it away.
