  Telling someone to drink less beer and study more is wild.

  Academics in general have a long history of being alcoholics or alcoholic adjacent

      Akshully I think it’s either “less beer” or “fewer beers” (plural).

    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.

  “Bug” is a folksy word for any invertebrate with 6 or more legs. For example, they call lobsters and crayfish bugs.

  source

  • Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    many people call slugs, snails, and worms bugs too. So any invertibrate with the right vibes

    • AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      So there is no such thing as a bug, in the same way that there is no such thing as a tree

      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 ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

    source

    • porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

  • Iunnrais@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

    source

    • MIDItheKID@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

      source
  • pyre@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    bug is typically something that stings, while insect is more generic.

    source

    • T156@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Not always. Flies, ants, and mosquitoes are all considered bugs, despite having no stinging capacity to speak of.

      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).

  source

  • NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    “bug” is a technical definition, surprisingly

    source

    • smeg@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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!
