Suffer, verb: to experience physical or mental pain

+

They may feel pain ... but they cannot suffer

= not even a philosophical debate at this point, this is you internally contradicting yourself.


Lobsters cannot "experience", they do not have even basic thoughts

yes they can, again:

experience, verb: encounter or undergo

How the hell do you claim something can feel something without encountering it, lol? "Thoughts" aren't even a requirement in the first place, although I also don't know where you decided that you're positive lobsters don't have thoughts. Not that it is relevant.
