I mean, exactly half of those are actually true.

“All corners of the globe” and “pre-date the ice age”, obviously, but what’s number three?

Fun fact: woodlice are terrestrial isopods, meaning they share a class (Malacostraca, the second-largest crustacean class after Insecta) with the decapods like crabs, shrimp, etc. Orders Isopoda and Decapoda are far away within the class, but they’re still in there!

So are you saying we can eat woodlice like we eat crabs?

I mean I’ve read that the giant marine isopod Bathynomus giganteus is popular in Vietnam, so probably – although there’s probably a good reason beyond scarcity that it’s not a widely popular delicacy. I might be concerned about bioaccumulated heavy metals in terrestrial ones, they’d be highly inefficient to prepare, and I’ve never heard of any culture that eats them. But I’m sure it’d be doable. Just to what end, you know?

Supposedly if you boil them they turn pink like shrimp.

any female born after 1983 can’t cook… all they know is leaf litter, curl they shells up, scuttling, lay eggs, eat rotten plant matter and lie

Checks out, I’m a girl and I do have 14 legs ! Very proud of my armor plating too, I take good care to keep it super shiny ✨

I was 8 when I learnt thoroughly that not everyone wants to switch place with woodlice for a day when waiting for the school bus. 06:45 during an autumn storm would be much better as a woodlouse underneath comfy foliage.
