Edit: given recent events it would be funny if someone hacked that app and changed the emoji to say Death to Khamenei

Given the context of the Marg bar Amrika slogan, مرگ بر ایران would make more sense ("Death to Iran")

I would like to request additional colors between red and yellow. I'm not especially photosensitive but it's giving me a bit of a headache as is.

Garishness is a feature, not a bug, of the animaldrug smilies.

Anyways, thanks to Zesty for making a cool corrected version, hopefully it's on its way to getting swapped in.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Data Graham posted:

Crabs aren’t bugs!!!

In colloquial use, the word "bug" often refers to both insects of all kinds and also arachnids such as spiders and scorpions. Now, insects and arachnids are essentially as far apart on the arthropod family tree as possible, sharing no common traits/genes other than those common to all arthropods. In other words, the common ancestor of both insects and arachnids is also the common ancestor of all arthropods, including crabs. So whatever exactly the word "bug" refers to (which we may argue about), whether it's talking about traits (hard shells, segmented bodies, etc.) or it's talking about a particular relational group, if it refers to both insects and arachnids, it must refer to a group that includes crabs and all other arthropods. Therefore, crabs are bugs.

You cannot make the same argument about bats, as they belong to a wildly different bough of the animal family tree, so the jury's still out on whether they're bugs or not.

Aphrodite posted:

What about bunnies?

Well, as with bats, we'd have to make some kind of determination of what "bug" actually means. Since bunnies, like bats, are vertebrates, and we know that "bug" includes some non-vertebrate animals, any sensible definition of "bug" that includes bats also includes bunnies, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

So I guess that means we should really tackle the question: are bats bugs?

Ultimately, if we decide that both insects and bats are bugs, then we are compelled by phylogeny to include at minimum all of clade Nephrozoa, which includes the vast majority of bilaterally symmetric animals, including all vertebrates, echinoderms (sea stars, urchins, etc.), arthropods (as previously discussed), tardigrades, nematode worms, segmented worms (earthworms etc.), molluscs (clams, squids, etc.), flatworms, rotifers, and a variety of other smaller groups of animals. At which point you have to ask, what's NOT included? Cniderians (jellyfish, anemones, etc.), comb jellies, sponges, placozoa (a small obscure group of simple animals), and obviously anything that isn't an animal. Given that the list of animal groups included in this definition is larger than the list excluded, I'm inclined to say that any such definition is not particularly useful. And honestly if you're expanding "bug" to include things like clams and sea cucumbers and junk, at that point I think you ought to include other squishy sea things like sponges and jellyfish, and suddenly you're looking at a definition of "bug" that just means "animal."

Therefore I would say that "bug" should be used merely as a colloquial term for "arthropod." So I would personally argue that while crabs are bugs, bunnies and bats are not. Sorry, Calvin.

How did Ribkid come to prominence?

Was this a forums thing or an internet wide thing?
Cursory searches for ribkid on google only bring up links from SA.

Was ribkid a goon? When did ribkid become a "thing"?

THanks.

Who would have thought that such a phenomenon would stay confined to the forums.
I just looked through the SAclopedia link and see that theres a thread with Ribkid eating pizza. The photo isn't there anymore (at least not on the first page) but it seems he's not nearly as enthusiastic about pizza.

E: there is a picture of him on page 2 with (possibly) another goon.
