My first thought was, oh a bug bite got you sick, somehow? Then I realized what community this was in.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I was worried about Lyme's disease??

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 17 points 4 days ago

Yeah that bug would cost you way more than 7 days

See, I thought they meant just following a bug in that vast, open field. Freely following flights of fancy it as long as you see fit. That sounded lovely to me

I envisioned something involving a net, perhaps looney tunes-esque, perhaps not

That was really funny. I had a hearty chuckle, especially imagining you laughing at my post thinking it was a follow up.

You'll lose 7 days of your life from a bug by getting Lyme disease from a tick in a field, too.

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 5 points 4 days ago

Lots of bugs in fields

[–] ns1@feddit.uk 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Only 7? Those are rookie numbers

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 days ago

Can you really complain if it hasnt reached a year?

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 4 days ago

Was it a cicada?
