There's a conspiracy that the powers that be wants to brainwash people into accepting insects as food and it's fascinating because it's one of the few conspiracy theories that unites people across the aisle. They just have different ideas about who holds the power

If you make insects taste good I will eat them, I don't need to be brainwashed, the reason I don't eat many bugs is cos most bugs don't seem like they would be pleasant to eat.

People already eat insects (though insect protein is kind of a novelty in most places currently), weird people just keep getting mad over different kinds of food being available and acting like variety is some kind of conspiracy. No one wants to replace regular rice with cauliflower they are just offering an alternative.

Yeah if the bugs taste good what’s the problem? I’ve had chocolate covered crickets before and guess what, it tastes like a crunchy chocolate snack. They’re fine. I’ve had fried crickets too, they just taste like fried.

A Oaxacan place near me has crickets...my boss swears they're great and "kinda just taste like sunflower seeds or peanuts". I just can't get over the legs, though! What if I feel a gross little hairy bug leg scrape its way down my throat?!

Honestly, this is why I don't eat oysters/clams/mussels/shrimp...I don't want to eat the entire critter and all its innards! :ohdear:

Many bugs have the same proteins in their shells as shellfish so people with shellfish allergies shouldn't eat them. But otherwise they're just protein (while i don't find the idea of chomping down on a whole bug very appealing there are more heavily processed things like cricket flour)

I dunno about poop veins, but Google tells me there are quite a few people who leave the heads on and suck the innards out. :shrug:

Never mind, apparently some places leave the poop vein attached after serving. :stare:

Edit: you are right in reminding me that shrimps can be de-veined, which isn't quite the same anatomy as oysters/clams/mussels.

When I learned about the poop vein, my taste for shrimp took quite a dive. I like the cute little https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandalus_borealis guys, they just look like pink curlies, not a poop vein in sight thanks to modern industry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiteleg_shrimp is a common species to batter and fry, much bigger and meatier, but the deveining doesn't always happen, probably because it's a manual process, and poo poo(lol) happens.

Anyway, you'll hate yourself a lot when you bite the butt end off a store-bought battered shrimp and see that black streak. At least I did the other week.

this time the idiot on social media is a brand.
Did you know that liquid death invented skulls?

Now that could just be a cheeky jab on social media, where you note 2 things look alike for engagement, right?

Nope when the artist who drew the new logo said "I actually don't know your brand, and didn't use it as an inspiration, don't accuse me of plagiarism"
They reaponded with a wall of text where they simultaneously backpedal and double down.

Here's the artist's post, followed by theirs.



Edit: Nuclear Blast Records has been around for like 30 years, and the owner of Liquid Death back pedaled further in private conversations saying it was always intended as a joke, but nah that's totally damage control.

what's even the significance of box office numbers when the movie went directly to streaming

going by box office numbers, their last movie did even worse but it was a huge driver of disney+ subscriptions

quote:

Turning Red
Budget: $175 million
Box office: $19.2 million

Lightyear
Budget: $200 million
Box office: $85.6 million

OwlFancier

The significance is that the old conservatives who are the target audience of the headline are likely not to know about that and/or won't care if faced with the opportunity to validate their pre-existing narrative about the world.

Speaking of idiocy surrounding the Lightyear movie, Ttwitter has been having a minor freakout for months over how confusing the concept of the Lightyear movie apparently is, and it reflects pretty badly on the state of nerd discourse. We had the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon in 2000, it had the opening where the Toy Story toys gather around the TV to watch, and while I didn't check the internet for it at the time, I'm pretty sure everyone was fine with it.

It had a single 62 episode season, and I don't know if that counts as successful for that old mode of production.

That's pretty successful, the model of kids cartoons at that time they usually stop at 50 since that's enough for reruns and most of the original audience has aged out of watching it.

:psyduck: How are people confused? "The Buzz Lightyear toy in Toy Story 1 is merch for a in-universe media series and there are many other Buzz Lightyear toys" was literally a major plot point of Toy Story 2. They even do the intro fake-out where Buzz "dies", except surprise, it's just Woody and co. playing a Buzz video game.
