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

One of the definitions of bug is "small arthropod with many legs"

Take your nerdmode into the shop, its database is defective.

Because shrimp is bugs that is wet

NO. SHRIMP IS SHRIMP 😤😤 have some respect

Shrimp is shrimp and shrimp is bugs.

The question should not be whether that is a problem, the question is what other tasty bugs are you missing out on due to cultural programming?

Having tried chocolate locusts and spicy scorpions, I personally can say: not a lot, actually, I don't like any of them.

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.

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 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.

*palate fatigue

I work in wine importing so this is a mistake I make all the damn time.

pallet- thing used to strap stuff to so they can be put on containers (for container trucks and ships).

palate - roof of your mouth or an alternate word for your taste

Palette- painter’s thing for holding paint.

Speech to text strikes again.

Increasingly alarmist answer: you’ve heard about eyestalk ablation and it’s subconsciously ruining your enjoyment of farmed shrimp

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

Maybe it's because you now know they are bugs
