Wait, if they are crustaceans does that mean we can convince posh people to eat them? I could make a fortune cleaning out my compost bin. Organic! Free range!

No they only would be interested in the fancy expensive isopods

These guys are a hot things right now in certain reptile and terrarium communities.. A requirement if you want to have a bioactive (live plants and lots of soil, self cleaning) habitat and some people started to be more interested in the clean up crew because the variety of isopod and they can be easy to raise.


Growing up in Wisconsin they were pill bugs.

Well, I didn't think I'd start my day sipping my coffee, going to a designer isopod website and sorting by price, but here we are.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I'm intrigued by the large portions of the nation that are mystified by roly bugs. Like I get if they don't occur there, but they're pretty popular in pop culture, surely they should have at least heard of them and recognize them by a description.

I was going to say how the hell could there be parts of the US where there are no, uh, pill bugs, one of the most common (visible) creatures around, but apparently they are native to Europe only. I guess technically their presence in North America would be due to the Columbian Exchange. I learned something today.

e: specifically Armadillidium vulgare, I assume other species of woodlice are native to the US

There's some kind of phenomena where people use ɛ instead of ɪ regardless of their regional accent. I have a friend who pronounces pillow as pellow, sit as set, Illinois as Ellinois (even though that is where we're from) and milk as melk. I was watching the Perks of Being a Wallflower and noticed the main dude pronounces milkshake as MELKshake. Im sure in some regions its more unanimous than others but largely it's idiolect rather than dialect.

It's real annoying hearing my friend try and train a dog by repeatedly saying SET. SET. SET.

Edit: picture tax

I worked with a photographer whose "set" for "sit" was so ingrained to him, he'd write it in captions. "So-and-so sets by a tree." I didn't understand what they were setting down. I'd ask him and he'd look at me like I was crazy.

I know a person named Anette called Nette and this one guy (who also drove a yellow Ford Escort through the local pub's window the day after he got his driving license back) always called her Nelly. She said it was so wrong she couldn't even be cross about it. Thanks for reading.

e: Actually she might be called Janette. I don't remember because everyone (except the one guy) calls her Nette.

Who are those east coast weirdos who call them "Pishamares"? That's what you call ants, although thats usually spelled "pismire"
also Mary/Merry/Marry sound distinctly different in my accent (east coast Ireland)

That's how I've always known them.

Apparently they are called this because it used to be believed that putting a few ground-up ones in your child's bed would help against bed-wetting. Old-timey people were weird.
