Hard truth

[mutilationwave@lemmy.world]

Entomological etymology.

Fun fact I like to share with everyone who enjoys shrimp. Up until the 90s they were very difficult to breed in captivity. They just wouldn’t reproduce.

Until someone figured out that it you cut out one of their eyes, they will readily breed. Nobody really knows why, but they snip off one of the eye stalks on the females to get them to breed.

Small crickets maybe? I haven't had them in years but they're delicious with the right seasoning.

[mudman@fedia.io]

Oh, you have no idea.

You can have them by the fistful like this, shell and all.

They seemed to be a common enough ingredient in tacos for the short while I was in Mexico. They are pretty good.

[gibmiser@lemmy.world]

That's fucked.

Yeah the ones I had were in Mexico. So crunchy and good with salt, lime, and chili.

Typical chordate-centric arthropodophobia

It occurred to me while playing Helldivers that all the bugs we were killing would probably taste like crab after boiling.

The fear of death does tend to make creatures want to reproduce.

It is fucked though.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

That's pretty interesting.
You never think about, but most of everything is dyed. And that dye has to come from somewhere.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

Is this one a lie, too?

[cm0002@lemmy.world]

Sounds about right, I keep thinking Cockroaches, but I'd be too grossed out about those bastards so it was probably crickets lol

[pugjesus@lemmy.world]

Truth is subjective

[dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world]

So is lobsters and crabs.

Eating them anyway, though.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

I've been trained to not trust cake.

[starayo@lemm.ee]

Every time I look at the hive guards after killing them, I think how delicious they look.

I want to eat the hive guards. For democracy.

[mutilationwave@lemmy.world]

I would never eat a fucking cockroach. Disgusting things.
