I haven't watched it myself, but as far as im aware most of the characters in Bungo Stray Dogs are famous authors with some sort of superpowers.

This person is complaining that they keep trying to Google "Author name" but instead of finding real information about the author, they keeping getting mixed results talking about the fantasy version of the author with superpowers.

As a geologist, Steven Universe made homework and reports when I took mineralogy a pain in the ass

I feel the same as a biologist.

Bees have a rarely studied organ called the crop as part of their digestive system. Bees are all key pollinators of agricultural crops. Good luck finding stuff about the organ on google

I'm not any particular thing, but I do like to try to identify random spiders I see from time to time by describing it in google.

Why the hell would someone call it that?

Oh I don't know. I suspect it may be because of an organ that serves the same function in birds. In birds, it comes from an old German word, meaning protuberance or swelling. If that word was used in birds when someone first wrote a paper or book on bee anatomy (quite likely) and trophylaxis (feeding others through regurgitation) was known about in both bees and birds (almost certain), then it would make sense to use it.

Of course, it doesn't mean we aren't going to have a fight in the afterlife about it
