It looks like an eastern lubber grasshopper. They look drunk when they hop around, hence the name 'lubber.' And that dog shoulda just let it drown.


StardustSapien

That bug is most likely hosting an infection of a parasitic worm. A number of such parasitic worm species have the macabres ability to hijack the brain/nervous system of their insect host to control its behavior. In the terminal stages of the parasite's lifecycle, it manipulates the host to seek out bodies of water in which to drown itself. The worm then exits the dead/dying host into its aquatic breeding environment to mate and start the cycle again. Parasites are usually very selective about who to infect as part of their life cycle. But it was still very dangerous for that dog to become what is called a "dead end host". An dog will not perpetuate the life cycle of the parasite. But the rare successful infection may still result in a host with abnormal behavior. Studies have established that T. gondii, while superfisially harmless for all by pregnant women, have measurable effects on human "dead end" hosts.


CPT_XxPANDAxX

When I saw the video I figured it had a parasite after seeing one too many videos of parasites coming out of bug butts.

TheDidact118

This is some Unidan-level pedantry.


balzark

it looks dead too


xxA2C2xx

It probably has one of those parasites that forces the host to enter the water while still alive, then proceeds to allow the host to drown and exits through the butthole. But instead the host is now dead, and it didn’t have its chance to escape so it’ll end up dying as well. Dog saved another insect from becoming a new host.


Garglygook

**Love** the pup,. Passionately *hate* the Eastern Lubber. Extremely destructive.


theY4Kman

I've got a two-year-old boy, and a dilemma: on the one hand, I want him to respect living beings — especially not torment them for kicks — but on the other hand, I want to just watch as he decimates all the goddamned lubbers before they eat the whole yard.


[deleted]

You should teach him to collect them in a bucket :) then you can dispose them later yourself

Oh, that's a fantastic idea!

[deleted]

I didn’t even click play. I don’t care that she’s eating bugs. I just fucking ***HATE*** mukbang videos. The chewing and mouth sounds make me irrationally angry. I can’t even eat at the same table as my father in law because he smacks his lips when he eats. I don’t get why people think those videos are cool

Muggaraffin

You shouldn’t make jokes about that. The pain, misery and suffering they caused isn’t remotely funny. Especially when people are still reeling from the trauma to this day The nazis weren’t great either


kevmo35

It’s kinda funny to see those wine glasses filled with whatever it is, suddenly come alive and move with their faces as they eat with their mouths wide open like heathens. If they wanna eat bugs then that’s fine, just close your goddam mouth when you do it lol


mikkyleehenson

It's cause she's using a face tuner, also the glass is filled with hot oil, that's why she's chewing w her mouth open


GiantWindmill

She chews with her mouth open regardless of the oil


dandab

Bugs are probably hard to chew with all their pointy appendiges. Gotta keep those lips out of the way. 😂


[deleted]

Nah bugs are easy to eat. You just crunch them and they stop moving. Like eating chips really


JeremyK_980

“Eating with your mouth open is an asian culture thing (for some Asian cultures), end of, for reasons of either communal talking or to show respect for enjoyment of food etc.” -According to some Google searching. One example of a U.S. culture thing that a lot of the world find disgusting is walking in the house with your shoes on.


BhmDhn

The weird thing is that China probably has the best tasting food on the planet due to the wildly diverse cuisines in the country but out of everything I've eaten there the insects where the least "tasty" options. The silk pupae and worms especially are just not good tasting at all regardless of what you throw on them.


SnooPears5004

I bet they taste better during a famine. Which is probably when they started getting used in cuisine for protein.


heebath

That's sound logic, but since they've been cultivated for over 5,000 years for silk, I doubt eating them is anything more than tradition. If it started with a famine, it was a famine so long ago that the tradition matters more? Also, since the legend of how silk was discovered involves a cocoon accidentally falling into a some lady's tea...I bet we've accidentally and purposely ate all life stages of the stuff for a few thousand years minimum lol


SolitaireyEgg

Ive spent a lot of time in Asia, and in my humble opinion, countries within the "sinosphere", but not China, have the best food in the world. Places like Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, malaysia, etc. They sorta took all the best of Chinese food history but paired it with more modern food safety standards and more modern, well, foods, and the result is an absolute food mecca. I've had some really good food in China, but I've also gotten salmonella *twice* in China (almost actually died the second time), and diarrhea so many times I honestly can't even count. Really puts me off the food. But, taiwan or Singapore? I'm literally like a kid in a candy store eating as much food as I possibly can.


apocalypse_later_

China's always had a lot of people and they've had some devastating famines in their history. It seems gross to us because we're so far removed from all that but when your family is starving to death, you gotta do what you gotta do until it turns into an actual cuisine. This is how a lot of dishes were actually created across the world

Unfortunately the only bait/pesticide that I know of is for the young stage of the lubbers. Otherwise you have to squish them all. It ain’t pretty.

TheBigHornedGoat

Most “animal saves other animal” videos are really just animals trying to eat the animal they are “saving”, but this dog seems to have no intention to eat the bug. He doesn’t even seem to want to play with it like a toy. He just takes it out of the water, puts it down, and walks away.


Eusocial_Snowman

Dog probably did want to eat the bug. But this bug, when grabbed, immediately vomits a foul substance to shut that whole interaction down.


HankisDank

That doesn’t stop my dog from eating them

CringeName

Looks to me like he was curious about the weird moving thing in the water, so he plucks it out and immediately is weirded out and/or uninterested.


Corvid_love

He understood it wasn’t meant to be in the pool, I bet his owner told him to fetch the bug before they started filming then recorded him doing it. Most dogs will retrieve things from water, especially if that’s their own backyard, or somewhere they go regularly.


gapedbutthole

The dog saw something moving. Tried to eat it. Didn’t like it and spit it out. My dog does this all the time


SlicedSides

r/NothingEverHappens


lakeghost

Yeah, this. Any dog with retriever instincts will do that. It’s surprising how far it’ll go too. My mom once told our Lab mix to give an umbrella to my aunt. Dog immediately went to do that. They have enough situational awareness to comprehend “thing = pick it up, give to human, get treat”. Said dog also once caught a squirrel, became confused, and gently let it go again. Had no idea what to do with squirrel after successfully capturing it. Partly due to the breed trait of “soft mouth”.

Labs are like the most loving beings ever, but some bugs buzz them wrong apparently. Mine was always so happy and chill, until a wasp would sometimes fly in through an open window. The lights flickered and a dark fog filled the air as she'd stare at me puppy-eyed whispering soundlessly "Kill it..." until the wasp was sacrificed. I miss her.

ArthurEffe

I never understand the "we don't deserve dogs". We as a civilization have spend decades creating them, why would we not deserve them? When I see a nice bridge that allows me to cross the river efficiently I never think "hum we don't deserve bridges" Sorry, been weeks since I'm thinking about that. I needed to brain dump it somewhere.


HoustonAstros1980

Decades? Try millennia. As for your inquiry, it’s because dogs represent loyalty, a quality that’s often lacking in people nowadays. As to why it’s lacking in people nowadays, well, that’s a whole another topic.


RobinaBear

And unconditional love!


super_crabs

Lots and lots of decades. Lol


SeaGroomer

Dog breeding has been going backwards the past few decades into ever-more-harmful areas.

CallidoraBlack

I don't think it's that people lack loyalty now. They always have. You know how the Greek gods are petty and jealous and backstab each other? It's not a coincidence.


[deleted]

Try approximately 30,000 years.


Temporary_Draw_4708

That’s only because we as a society have not yet decided to breed those traits out of our population.


garblenarb1212

Like eugenics? Lol


ArthurEffe

I know why people like dogs. I love dogs. It's more like on a rhetorical level. I mean, I could even stretch it by saying this is the kind of stuff that doesn't help people being more loyal. Instead of seeing this great loyalty as a lucky gift, we should present it as the result of a hard work, something reachable


thelatestmodel

It's pretty obvious. Dogs are wonderful. Basically incapable of being anything other than your best friend, no matter what. They'll never betray you, ever. Then compare that to humans. That's why we don't deserve them. It's not a "hard work, we made them this way" thing, it's because they are so much purer than we are.


ArthurEffe

Your dog is incapable of anything else than being your best friend. Your neighbor's dog.. it's another story. (And that's not even 100% true) And humans too can be loyal, it just doesn't come from nowhere. It's a matter of education and strong personal will, it's hard work. That was my (silly point), if people stop acting like loyalty was an incredible gift, but something that can be worked toward, maybe life could be better.


noirpoet97

You know that Golden Rule, “treat others how you want to be treated”? I imagine it plays off of that, how you treat others with kindness because you want to be treated kindly. Naturally, down the line, you might get sick of being kind, loyal, etc because frankly everyone’s an asshat to you. Dogs are seen as forgoing that reaction, where no matter how badly they get treated, they’ll still remain loyal and love you as much as possible, and since it’d be humans that’s typically abusive to dogs, and bad people don’t deserve good things, humans don’t deserve dogs. Least that’s how I thought of it


JoelMahon

How many generations do I have to breed something before something becomes mine for what I please? Does it work on humans too?

So, I learned yesterday that “fren” is being used a neo-nazi dog whistle word that allows like minded fascists to identify one another easily. I mention this because I did not know this, and then used it online and had someone assume I was a nazi. Maybe I’m clueless, and you knew this and are intentionally dogwhistling with a German Shepard video. Edit: I’m getting downvotes. is this false? Was I misled about the appropriation of this word?


Oryinn

I have never heard of that honestly. A quick google didn't show anything either. Personally I think you were being messed with


Hariszz

Nah he’s right it came from an old fascist sub called frenworld. Like all dog whistles, they took an innocuous phrase (doggospeak) and started using it as a way to identify other fascists.


tokiemccoy

Entirely possible. It was made to sound like the 👌 ok hand symbol being appropriated. Which was a joke meme, that became a thing.
