Telling someone to drink less beer and study more is wild.
Academics in general have a long history of being alcoholics or alcoholic adjacent
Am an academic, can confirm
I am in 1st year of college, I don’t drink, and I am failing.
Ok but “bug” has multiple meanings, and almost nobody means “hemiptera” when they say it. More commonly, it’s any terrestrial arthropod. Arachnids are bugs. Centipedes are definitely bugs.
Heck, there’s a broader definition that basically includes all arthropods. “Moreton bay bugs” are a popular food this time of year. And they’re a kind of lobster.
“Bugs” even refers to errors on computers. Funny how the pedants don’t go into computer forums and berate the coders for using “bug” incorrectly.
Because it comes from a literal bug that messed with a computer.
uh, slugs are bugs! any non-vertibrate animal is a bug
uh, slugs are bugs
I’mma be honest, I would not instinctively agree with this.
I suggest “bug” applies exclusively to chitinous invertebrates.
The ocean is quite literally lousy with sea lice. They’ve even got rolly-pollies down there.
Not just roly-polies, but Rollison J. Pollimagnussons:
What in the name of Cthulhu is this?
Here’s what they look like full-grown:
terrestrial arthropod
i’d like to differ
Crickets in cheeto dust taste fine…soon in a 7/11 near you 😛
You’re already eating bugs, in fact the FDA has so-called “food defect action levels”, which define the acceptable levels of food “contamination” from sources such as maggot and insect fragments among other things (best not to think too hard about it) in your daily food.
I love when someone tells me something fucked up and then tells me not to think too hard about it.
Aren’t spiders insects?
No. Insects have 6 legs, spiders have 8.
Are they in some separate category?
Yes, they’re arachnids.

Both insects and arachnids are arthropods.
“Bug” is a folksy word for any invertebrate with 6 or more legs. For example, they call lobsters and crayfish bugs.
many people call slugs, snails, and worms bugs too. So any invertibrate with the right vibes
So there is no such thing as a bug, in the same way that there is no such thing as a tree
Or a fish! If there were, then people would be fish and sharks would not be.
