Hold on, wait a minute, pause. There are people who think that bugs have lungs?
To be fair, while bugs and other insects don't have lungs, some arthropods do. The differences among arthropods, insects and bugs aren't exactly common knowledge.
some have book-lungs not true lungs. Only us fish have "true" lungs
edit: this thread turned into nerd-heaven. i love it!
Agreed. I was referring to book lungs.
Also, I feel like you got some 'splainin' to do regarding the fish reference.
We're all descended from fish.
Also, IIRC, some fish are more closely related to us than they are to other fish, making it impossible to biologically define a category of animal that includes everything we call a fish but doesn't include us.
Thanks!
Also, I recognize your username. I feel like you may have encountered my ignorance on at least one previous occasion.
Usually not lungs as they exist in mammals, though.
You're right. They're different.
I didn't think bees had lungs. I also didn't think bees didn't have lungs...
I’m less bothered by that person not knowing and way more bothered by them just being so confidently incorrect. Doesn’t take long to just look it up yourself. Unless the whole post was an educational setup?
