Transcription:

Imagine you were transported to an alternate universe just like your own, except people occasionally ate spiders. You can’t convince anyone this is weird. [[Two figures stand. A woman is holding a big spider. The other figure looks shocked. There is another spider on the floor.]] Woman: Mmm… Figure: No! What are you doing!? This is how I feel about lobster.

{{Title text: As best as I can tell, I was transported here from Earth Prime sometime in the late 1990s. Your universe is identical in every way, except for the lobster thing and the thing where some of you occasionally change your clocks for some reason.}}

well obviously wet bugs are cleaner since they’re surrounded by water all the time

I do sincerely worry about insects being added as filler materials as time goes on. I have a shellfish allergy, and the same allergens that exist in the shells of shellfish also exist in most insects.

Wet bugs are very distantly related to earth bugs.

Won’t you eat chicken just because pidgeons are disgusting? (yet also eaten sometimes)

Sea bugs are delicious and have more meat than land bugs, I’ve eat crickets before and it’s 80% bones/ definitely not meat and 20% actual meat

I kind of miss when Hot Topic used to sell crickets and snacks, they were pretty good no cap

It wouldn’t be weird to land bugs if they had that tasty meat crustaceans do. I’m big for alternative sources of protein like bugs, but the fact is they taste like shit.
