fewer beer
So close. Less beer, fewer beers. Both acceptable.
The number one rule for pedants is: if you’re going to be pedantic, you’d damn well better be correct.
I’m not a scientist, but I’m the kind of person to keep black widows as pets and create a website that catalogues all the spiders in my area. I’d allow spiders being called bugs, or even insects. Even poisonous is alright but it does hurt a little.

You are a web developer looking for other web developers ;)
We’re going to need a link
It was a Google site (from years ago) so all that’s left is a random archive somewhere. I had all the local spiders+favorites, but the only original content were pictures of Latrodectus and Kukulkania Hibernalis. Beautiful spiders.
What’s your favourite?
Portia jumping spider! It’s such a crazy little machine.
What about you?
Smart little cats with 8 legs, and certaily the most lovely spiders, even for aracnophobics
i like beetles in general. i have a special place in my heart for weevils but not because of memes, Otiorhynchus is my first ID.
You need to read read Children of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky then.
Popped to mind immediately upon seeing the word Portia
I also really liked his Shards of Earth series if you haven’t seen that one.

Duality of man
Stupid science bitch couldn’t even understand the joke.

that bud is hops
Nobody would eat hops you big dumb bitch.
Who among us has not dined on their bud’s ass after a few beers? It’s just common courtesy.
As long as you decarb it first, I don’t see an issue. Throw it on some peanut butter crackers and have a good time.
It was said by a big dumb bitch
A retort in three parts;
-
It’s bugs (colloquial), not Bugs (texanomic),
-
There’s being pedantic and then there’s being a jackass - that’s you, jackass, and

@eat_roadkill should embrace their name and go chow down on a three-day-dead skunk.

Taxonomy is a conspiracy invented by neckbeards so they could “um ackshually” us when we call a bug a bug.
Anyone know what the first known case of ‘bug’ exclusively referring to Hemipterans/Heteropterans? The first use of bug being applied to arthropods was in the 1620s in reference to bedbugs (in Hemiptera but not Heteroptera) with the term ladybug (not in Hemiptera) first attested in the 1690s. Both predate Linnean taxonomy. So why and when did entomologists decide to coin this highly restrictive definition? It’s a very English-language term so it surely wasn’t when the taxon was created by Linnaeus.
Except…what do spiders eat? Hence, a bug-lite would fit perfectly with their favoured prey. Big-brain missed the obvious.
That’s a typical case of someone who is so eager to sounds right in an argument that they will not bother double checking to see if they missed the original point or true meaning before replying.
There are a lot of people like that on Reddit. Well, I assume there still are I deleted my account a while ago. What a toxic place.
