Not getting cancer? Fucking LIB

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I got checked for skin cancer as a secondary to something else and needed to schedule surgery to address relatively quickly. Turns out the recommendation is you get checked annually starting at 25, part of me feels compelled to pass this on since I had no idea.

The skin exam was fairly cheap, the biopsies to confirm were not, so good luck I guess.

vegetarian

willing to eat the bugs

both-sides

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

I am willing to eat the bugs, but I choose not to from a moral stance

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Bugs are gross little meat robots and I don't give a damn about any of them!

Except bees. They're sweeties who communicate by dancing and anyone who hurts them gets the wall.

[–] pinguinu@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Obligatory dragonfly acknowledgment. The coolest bugs by far

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Bees and jumping spiders

Yes I'm vegetarian yes I eat bugs we exist

[–] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s me, the “vegetarian” that wants to eat bugs

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bugs are plants, otherwise how could you explain their role in pollination?

6/10, guess I'm not woke enough. I refuse to start reading the NY Times to increase my rating though.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

same.. im not reading no stinkin NYTimes to increase my woke-score, sorry I guess ill just have to live in my VW Beetle instead of upgrading to the tiny home

[–] Zrc@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

i will eat the bugs

[–] Kereru@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

I read the NY times when it's reposted to a niche communist website and we dunk on it for not being woke enough 💅

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

What is moma

I would try a bug if it was offered to me and it looked like a food item. Probably not a live bug

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

6 out of 10 i guess? is that awoken or not?

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Those are rookie numbers.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Just 3. It's impossible to get 10 cause you'd have to be a vegetarian and bug eater

[–] pinguinu@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago

5.5 I don't say happy holidays unless I'm forced to

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

To get a given rating, do I just have to do the thing listed for that rating, or is each item also a prerequisite for the numbers below it? If the former, I'm a 9. If the latter, I'm only a 3 (if you take vegans as a subset of vegetarians).

He made a list of "woke" things and failed to mention anything LGBTQ-related entirely

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Sunscreens right there tho

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

you are ready to eat the bugs

I bet this person enjoys shrimp and lobster

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

5/10

I'd like to try bugs, I'm just wary of the texture, any experiences or tips for preparation?

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Most available applications of the bugs in the global North are in flour form, so the texture is not such a big issue. You add them to other dishes to supplement nutrition. I personally dislike this approach to food, but if it gets you trying them, why not.

If you want to try and make your own, search for videos of how to make "tacos de chapulines" (it helps if you can understand Spanish). In my experience, the simplest, tastiest bug dish I've had.

Eat some crunchy maleun saewoo bokkeum. Dried fried crunchy tiny shrimp.
