Yeah see shit like this is why I raise a brow in suspicion at the claim that Florida doesn't have crazier people it's crazy people are just better publicized.
You cannot deny that there is genuinely a unique sort of crazy that gets afoot specifically in the conditions that florida as an eco system promotes.
High heat, humidity, and bath salts. It’s a winning combination!
Bath salts are soooo 2010. We're on meth and fentanyl now
It's the Sunshine Laws!

Mostly the lunatics.
I am pretty sure that poor public health education plays a part. I think many of us underestimate the raw value of “common sense” knowledge like “don’t eat random wild animals,” or “salmonella is a thing,” because we have never lived without it.
We don’t often consider it, but someone has to communicate these health facts to people, and in a low-income state like this where the government actively scoffs at the idea of caring for its constituents, that probably just doesn’t happen as much as it should.
I'm sure by now there's a movement to eat as many armadillos as possible to intentionally get leprosy to own the libs.
Leprosy isn't real. It's a Democrat hoax to hurt trump.
Big Armadillo doesn't want you to know!
i hate it here and desperately want to get back home to nyc
Why did you leave? NYC is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. Granted, I've only been to Manhattan, and Times Square, so I don't know what the rest of the city is like.
I didn’t leave by choice. It was a confluence of personal events that led to me losing my apt, and the only help I could get was family who demanded I move to Florida to get it— then abandoned me as soon as I got here, the swines.
Also, you didn’t really see NYC. You saw the shit part that New Yorkers avoid like the plague.
Manhattan is considered the shit part? I thought that was the nicest part of NYC.
That is definitely not what I said
You said
You saw the shit part that New Yorkers avoid like the plague.
After I told you that I only saw Manhattan and Times Square. So, what did you mean if not "Manhattan and Times Square are the shit parts of town"?
Intentionally pretending not to understand something that’s clearly stated and smugly acting like you didn’t do anything wrong isn’t clever, it’s trolling.
Go ruin some else’s day.
Blocked.
Wow, you brought a whole lot of perceived conflict to a pretty standard conversation. Good luck.
Cop: Ma'am, your BAC is .04, why were you driving so fast.
Florida woman: I'm getting married to a ferris wheel and I was trying to shave my legs on the way.
(This actually happened a long time ago)
Blood Armadillo Content?
Mann Shorts, so the story line is presented in d&d format...
Mann Shorts
Hour long video
More like Mann Longs amirite
it's like 20 short videos combined into one. The Florida saga is like a ten year long running joke at this point.
There's absolutely no way that's real. I refuse to believe.
Leaves you wondering though.
Are people eating armadillos because they're poor and it's available, or is this some secret delicacy that just hasn't caught on yet? Yes, I've probably got some Florida blood hiding in the family tree somewhere...
People eat raccoons, rabbits, squirrel, and possum too. They're all traditional small game in the Americas that have a history of being hunted for (probably) milenia. According to google (for what that's worth nowadays) armadillo is rich and has a similar flavor to pork
We're supposed to be discouraging the armadillo eating.
Yeah, and where do we get the armadillo bacon?
You know, so we can not go there.
Okay to eat bears though, yes?
