Delicious bugs.
I’ve been saying that for years and I call them water bugs
Fun fact I like to share with everyone who enjoys shrimp. Up until the
90s80s they were very difficult to breed in captivity. They just wouldn’t reproduce.Until someone figured out that it you cut out one of their eyes, they will readily breed. Nobody really knows why, but they snip off one of the eye stalks on the females to get them to breed.
Fun fact
Not fun at all
That’s fucked.
Fucked up man. Glad I became vegan
Oh…geeze. This read like a note found in a Resident Evil game…
Holy Jebus
Wait until you hear what they do to pigs
I’ll bite… what do they do to pigs?
I know they burn off the tails over here, for starters. There’s probably more tho.
The fear of death does tend to make creatures want to reproduce.
It is fucked though.
That’s not it actually. Current theory is it has something to do with the overall decreased sensation of sunlight indicating it’s mating season or something. They won’t develop mature ovaries with both eyes.
There’s also hormones they think are removed when the stalk is removed.
But really, no animal likes being injured. And they have no idea what else is going to get cut off.
If some other thing that’s observing humans cuts the dominant arm off a man without any access to females, they’re going to suggest doing that limits how much they want to masturbate.
When in reality they just can’t masturbate anymore.
Clearly the subject of the study is unfamiliar with “the stranger”
Maybe that’s what the study is for
how did they discover that? who’s just going around cutting random parts of swimmy guys??
Maybe some bad bitch shrimp got in a knife fight with a lobster, lost her eye and just went ham
Psychopaths
According to where I learned it, in high enough densities in concrete tanks, some shrimp would grind their own eyestalks off on the side of the tank. Some farmer put two and two together.
Jeebus christ. That’s… horrible
SLPT: Poke out your girl’s eyeball to get some guaranteed hard lovin.
There is an indoor shrimp farm in Indiana. Really. They also claim they farm sustainably.
Downside: they don’t shell them or cut any bits off or anything. That’s your job.
Any bits but the eyes, apparently.
So is crab and molluscs
It’s an ugly planet. A bug planet.
Remember the bug planet, Vegeta?
ever eaten anything with red in it? (like the icing decorations on the pictured cake)

Also, ever eaten a shiny candy? Chances are is coated in confectioners glaze, which is a fancy word for shellac, which is an insect excretion.
Chocolate milk uses red algae as a stabilizer

That’s pretty interesting.
You never think about it, but most of everything is dyed. And that dye has to come from somewhere.
We’ll all have to adjust to eating land bugs soon enough. Those of us who enjoy ocean bugs have a small headstart.
Then why don’t they call it bug fried rice? Checkmate Atheists
And they’re fucking delicious.
Lobsters are commonly referred to as bugs as well.
There is no scientific definition of “bug”, but the folk definition seems to be any invertebrate, typically with more than four limbs.
The order Hemiptera would like a word with you.

Tons of people happily eat insects too. Chapulines are pretty good, escamoles are popular, silk worm is eaten in Korea and Thailand, there’s Witchetty grubs and honeypot ants…
Shrimp as well. It’s weird and for me the flavor isn’t good enough to justify eating weird crunchy sea bugs
Crunchy? You aren’t supposed to eat the shell
Moist crunch, not hard crunch. Like grapes I guess. It’s gross.
So is lobsters and crabs.
Eating them anyway, though.
yes but there’s a distinction with lobsters, crabs and crawfish that shrimp do not posses:
THEY TASTE GOOD.
Shrimp taste like rubbery turds. there’s a reason the cocktail comes with a bucket of ketchup garbage.
They taste fine to me. Are you sure you had them prepared by a competent chef? Sure they can taste awful, but they don’t have to.
I’ve had them so many different ways. Prepared well, they can be fine, but never good (in my opinion). Drenched in butter, the butter and seasoning can taste good and the shrimp is just there.
had them in the us, uk, hk, mexico, brazil, prawns to wee 'uns, and I thoroughly enjoy damn near the rest of the ocean’s bounty. something different about shrimp. they’aint right.
Fair enough. They do have a distinctive flavor.
Shrimp taste very similar to crawfish to me. I can’t really tell the difference. I like both, though.
shrimp kinda taste like dirt to me, but i like crab.
However I did learn that my throat feeling like it was closing up after eating seafood ISNT normal and went to the doctor and now I’m not allowed to eat crab anymore :(crawfish have a flavor to them and aren’t as rubbery. closer to scallops to my tastebuds.
shrimp taste like canned assholes even when they’re fresh.
YMMV, that’s why it’s called taste.
Seems like I enjoy canned assholes. I never knew.
mmm… just like mom used to make
Are shrimps bugs, though?
Depends on the definition of bug. Entemological true bugs are a very specific class of insects, but the term bug was used to describe any arthropod for significantly longer than proper taxonomy has been around.
So if you’re a biologist, no, if you’re an anthropologist, yes.
Someone covered in brine shrimp would be more likely to feel covered in bugs than covered in marine crustaceans though.
I’d like to subscribe to more covered in sea creatures facts.
Giant isopods have been filmed swarming sharks to impede their movement and gill function when the local detritus is lacking nutrients.
Hell there’s a video of them killing small sharks. Terrifying little bugs.
Yay!
Entomological etymology.

Shrimps be bugs
At least the message is delivered on a cake.
