They eat freshly killed octopus tentacles and the suckers can adhere to your throat and suffocate you, i think 1-2 people die to it every year still

you wont die from the suckers, you die from eating old, whole octopus even tho you aren't supposed to

This is upsetting but kind of analogous to blowfish

I'm honestly interested in trying both

blowfish exists and is properly regulated in korea, too

try sea squirts, too

What if octopus are people and they're just too alien for us to tell? I don't want to eat something that might be people.

i thought they worked out that you can make nontoxic puffer fish by raising them in an aquarium where they aren't exposed to some kind of algae that is responsible for their toxicity

same deal with poison arrow frogs

I always feel guilty eating octopus because they're ridiculously intelligent. It's not like cows, which are just future burgers standing in a field. Octopi are smarter than the vast majority of people.

I feel bad eating octopus because it's gross. Like fishy rubber.

Blowfish is good and also nowhere near as dangerous as that one episode of the Simpsons made it out to be.

Suffer not the unclean to live.
Poison dart frogs are only toxic in the wild. Some element of their diet is processed in such a way as to generate the poison. In captivity, they do not have access to that element, and people aren’t sure what exactly that even is. We had some at an exhibit in the museum I used to work at, and this was the story given to me by a curator. Might make for an interesting google search at some point.

I was wondering about that - they had a rainforest exhibit at the aquarium and there was a sign saying there were poison dart frogs (didn't see any though) and thought that seemed a little dangerous.

I thought the whole point of ordering puffer fish was to get a properly prepared serving that gives you a little tingle, not an agonising death. Otherwise it's just fish.

It's really good fish. But so is escarole, and that only has a slight risk of making you poo poo yourself, so go for that one instead.

gently caress that, if you're going to ruin a pizza like that you should just get a Kapsalon. Probably even worse for your health but it's the exact thing your body needs when you're drunk as gently caress.

You probably meant escolar, the fish that is so oily that it makes you poo poo yourself. Escarole is a sort of lettuce.

Understandable confusion. Lettuce will also make you poo poo yourself these days.

Poison dart frogs are very popular in the pet trade now and are 100% non-toxic if raised in captivity.

I still wouldn't lick one though, because it's still a frog and that would be gross.

the extreme slowness of human development is an artifact of the fact that in birth peeps have to push a baby through a vagina, so baby head gotta start real small

octopus has eggs so it develops much faster
