As a programmer, I say we don’t fix the Unix time rollover problem and let them find out in 15 years what happens if there is no :airquote:hysteria:airquote:.

I ate these in an Environmental Science class when we were having a discussion about bugs for protein in the future. They're not bad tbh. But maybe my brain is broken because every time I got freeze dried mealworms for my ex's turtles I thought they smelled tasty.

I tried a chicken feed mealworm and they didn’t taste like anything

I've had them at the Insectarium in New Orleans, and they were pretty dang tasty. I've also had chickens and fed them mealworms and waxworms, and I'm pretty sure animal feed worms are just dried. The ones for humans are toasted and seasoned, and the toasting is key as it gives it a nutty flavor and crisp texture. They definitely need salt, but other seasoning helps.

insects mainly just taste like the stuff they have been fed on, they don't really have a taste of their own, and with spices etc you can make them taste like anything

A frozen custard sounds good, even if I have no idea how it differs from ice cream.
But is there no better image to paste on the machine? You can keep the grandpa, just surround him with a family and trappings of a holiday or something.

That's probably in St. Louis so that's plenty cursed right there.

A lot of ice cream has egg yolks and is quite literally custard plus flavor in an ice cream machine.

I guess there’s an attraction to screwing up ice cream so it’s a solid lump?

Yes, in the US sense of the word gelato.

I guess it would be even denser tho
