Idk where this myth started from but shrimp and lobsters are crustaceans, a separate class of arthropods within the phylum arthropoda. arthropoda is a massive phylum and bugs belong to the class insecta. lobsters and shrimp belong to crustacea so calling shrimp bugs is like calling whales hippos because they're both from the clade artiodactyla /nerdmode off
i think it's like "tree" and "fish", which is not a phylogenetic group but a certain shape/form/expression.
One of the definitions of bug is "small arthropod with many legs"
Take your nerdmode into the shop, its database is defective.
Insects are crustaceans. As are isopods. Interestingly, spiders are not
Shrimps is bugs!
Actually, hexapoda was moved taxonomically to be classed as Crustaceans due to new research. The new clade is called Pancrustacea. Insects can now properly be called "terrestrial crustaceans"
I would however like to point out that literally none of the pictured animals are bugs.
lukewarm coffee: gross
hot coffee: great
it's almost as if different things are different
You mentioned the same thing, at different temperatures. It's literally the same THING.
A shrimp is not the same thing as a Megaloblatta Longipennis.
Ice is just water at a different temperature.
The difference being even bigger between crustaceans and bugs just makes my point stronger.
Thought you were just shitposting with that name...
Now I just wish you were.
The line of arthropods that broke off to become Insecta did so in the Devonian Period, roughly 400 million years ago. Centipedes evolved in the fucking Silurian. Comparing these two groups is kinda like comparing raccoons, possums, and platypuses to fish.
It's almost as absurd as comparing fish to fish
Tell yourself what er you need to in order to enjoy that crawfish.
I'll tell myself it's juicy and delicious
dont need to tell anything just need to eat it
Shrimps is bugs!
They are more similar that at least I used to think.
I think the problem is we don’t have huge ol crickets that are lobster sized. Otherwise you’d have Red Locust and all you can eat grasshopper legs.
Unlimited soup, salad, and stickbugs.
They're different enough by size and their habitat that we don't encounter them as primates so logically we don't have any reason to have an aversion instinct. Regular insects can be poisonous or parasites but these don't really look like insects.
Idk. There are some big fucking snails out there
I don't eat cereal without milk, so why would I eat my bugs without saltwater.
You should try it, I like the crunch
Sea bugs come pre-seasoned
Fixing the bugs
Im only down with eating clean bugs that are large enough to have enough substance to be worthwhile or whatever makes it into processed foods and “foods” that I eat (jelly beans arent really food and frequently have shellac and that comes from a specific beetle.)
i Don't eat cereal without bugs, why would i eat my Water without Them?
one side takes regular baths.
I used to love shrimp but in the past few years I've started going off it, not sure why.
Non-alarmist answer: tastes can change over time for no real reason. Some mild reasons it could change is pallet fatigue, prep and cook time seeming not worth it and so you crave it less, and changes in overall perception. A person who is slowly becoming vegan for moral or health reasons will naturally stop wanting certain meat products.
Alarmist answer: I don't know man. You've probably got some weird cancer or something.
Increasingly alarmist answer: you’ve heard about eyestalk ablation and it’s subconsciously ruining your enjoyment of farmed shrimp
Maybe it's because you now know they are bugs
Lack of deveining?
Are we suggesting that Scorpion would taste similar to lobster?
Supposedly cincadas and pill bugs taste just like shrimp.
You'll have to ask Reptile.
Shrimps are fuckin pointy
Shrimps are pretty rich
Technically modern insects are descended from shrimp and lobster, so this is bugs good vs dry bugs bad
No they aren't lol, nothing alive now is descended from anything else alive now.
They are somewhat related in the broad scheme of things, but not that close when you dig a bit deeper. They share a common ancestor about 400 million years ago (1, 2), whereas we share a common ancestor with them about 530 million years ago. Considering the more than 2 billion year history of life, you could say we are almost as related to them as they are to each other. It's true that this was during the Cambrian explosion (3) so we are about as distantly removed from them as animals can be, and differentiation of biological features slowed down a bit after that, but still, true insects and the kinds of crustaceans we mostly eat like shrimps and lobsters have been on different branches of the evolutionary tree for most of the history of animals.
Of course we (humans) do eat many land insects too, like crickets and so on.
Here's a fun zoomable graphic I found while looking up the dates: https://www.onezoom.org/life/@Pancrustacea=985906?otthome=%40%3D770311#x-28,y311,w0.8390
Crocos are still here. And sharks.
The pic of the "Norway lobster" is of it cooked on a plate with bread XD
