Wet bugs are very distantly related to earth bugs.

Won't you eat chicken just because pidgeons are disgusting? (yet also eaten sometimes)

My uncle had an old silo with a broken roof and he and my dad would sit at the bottom and shoot the pigeons for dinner. I still remember my grandmother sitting outside the house plucking feathers all day. The 90s were fun in my family.

Pigeons literally exist in the us because they were imported for food iirc

Crustaceans are the closest relatives of insects.

For a foreigner: shouldn't it be "distantly related" instead?

[-] PreachHard@mander.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah that or distant relatives

No problem with pigeon if it's been raised for food, or had a life in nature. I'm just not eating the ones in urban centres that have been eating trash all their lives.

I should've come up with a better analogy...

That thing is an abomination that won't survive in the wild, let alone cross the bering strait

Oh yeah, no question. People photoshopped the poor bird before there were photos, something like that shouldn't exist.
