  1. there is no scientific definition of “bug”. the entire category is a social construct much like vegetables
  2. this person’s first sentence defined spiderd as insects and the second sentence said they weren’t

Neither of those two sentences define the spider as either insect or non insect. Did you even read them?

*Edit: I understood wrong your comment is valid but phrased weirdly

And the first sentence literally describes the scientific definition of bug…

They are missing some punctuation where it was desperately needed but imagine a comma or period after " spiders are not bugs" and reread.

All good my dude… It didn’t make sense to me on my first past either so I figured that it might have gotten you in the same spot too. Just glad to see the community is not throwing down votes at ya anymore, because your comment just felt like an honest misread. Cheers.

TIL, vegetables are a social construct.

This article illustrates this nicely:
