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.
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.

“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
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:
i’d like to differ
Crickets in cheeto dust taste fine…soon in a 7/11 near you 😛

I love when someone tells me something fucked up and then tells me not to think too hard about it.
