Hey, Fedi. Help me help a friend. (Not financial!)

I have a friend who is all about cool bug facts. They're going through an intense patch in their life, so I would like to send them some bug facts to cheer them up. But this is really their thing, so basic search engine results aren't going to new to them.

If there's a cool bug fact that you genuinely love, could you tell me? I'll save them to share with my friend over time. 1/3

Hej @lavievagabonde

I guess this is a call for #CoolBugFacts that you could easily help with. A friend of @ShaulaEvans could be cheered up by telling anything about bugs.

The only thing I could contribute that the term "bug" in computer science is based on an actual bug that had been found by Grace Hopper in the circuitry of one of the first computers ever. But you probably knew that. You'll find a picture on "Bug (engineering)" at wikipedia.

Not a very unknown bug, but the one I knew.

@inj4n @lavievagabonde @ShaulaEvans Grace Hopper?! That’s hilarious! 😄
@AdamStuartSmith @inj4n @lavievagabonde @ShaulaEvans I believe it was one of her students, but yeah, finding a grasshopper in your mainframe would be a hell of a bug
@WizardOfDocs @inj4n @lavievagabonde @ShaulaEvans It was a moth. But it would have been perfection if Grace Hopper had found a grass hopper.
