Comment on Fruit Flies

Earthlings don’t eat Earth either. They’re still Earthlings.
Sperm whales don’t eat sperm.
Mayflies don’t eat May or any other month.
Earthlings don’t eat earth because “earth” isn’t something to be eaten. Sperm whales don’t eat sperm because sperm is (usually) not something to be eaten.
Fruit, however, is supposed to be eaten, and by many, many animals. By calling something a fruit fly, the expectation for most people would be that its diet consists mainly of fruit
Or ya know, that they’re usually found hanging around near fruit.
Like Fruit Bats.
I’m going to be very upset if fruit bats don’t eat fruit
Speak for yourself, I rather like potatoes, or as the French call them ‘pomme de terre’ which if I recall would literally translate as ‘apple of earth’.
Wtf do earthlings eat other than earth? Plants, animals & fungus are all parts of Earth TO BE EATEN
By other animals or fungus.
