DON'T EAT THE EVIL BUGS????

[lyricistdontmiss]

Ew? No???? Like there are places out there that DO eat bugs but I super don't think these kinds of bugs are good for you.

[chonomai]

Absolutely not. If you've already tried, please see me in the makeshift clinic in the lobby.

[lupusxylem]

i aint ate nothin dont freak out im just SAYING
like has anyone tried? probably not! very understandable why youd be hesitant about that kind of thing
but purely for curiosity's sake...especially since there's a fuckbillion of them and theyve become a Problem

[lupusxylem]

bugs are pretty much the main source of food where im from so its not that crazy of an idea to me
theyre used a lot in a ton of other shit like crafting things. clothing, cigs, etc etc
and since these things look like wood ??? seems like they might be good for somethin idk

[lupusxylem]

i said hypothetically!

[love_swan]

Like assuming it doesnt outright kill you it looks like it'd give you the worst stomach ache ever. They look rancid.

[chonomai]

I cannot list how many "hypotheticals" have been real questions in my line of work...

[lyricistdontmiss]

Wow. Um. I'm glad that's working out for you guys! Like genuinely, that's not sarcasm.

But like, there are so many other things here to eat, why would you want to willingly eat bugs? I just don't think these things are like... safe.

[lupusxylem]

i mean they sure as hell dont LOOK like theyd taste good or nothin ill give you that
but that dont always mean everything

[lupusxylem]

oh dont get me wrong. back home it fucking sucks. like it sucks REAL bad. gettin to eat pretty normal food here on the regular is something i think people take for granted
but you never know when food might become scarce. its happened before

[lupusxylem]

dont worry. if id already eaten one of these things youd know.

[What does that MEAN]

[love_swan]

I also just really don't think something that appeared because of an angry moon eye is going to do good things to your insides.

[lyricistdontmiss]

Yeah, I guess that's true. Like, I guess I'd eat bugs if that's all we had and I was starving to death, so I get it. I don't know about these bugs, though.

Like, maybe if you add some spices? Or sauce or something? But what if it's poisonous?

[mooninthewater]

Oh, I don't recommend it. There's a reason why We Many aren't just eating them outright...

[eidxiety]

Nikolaus no

[chonomai]

Because of the horrible taste or the horrible side effects including mutation and body snatching????

[lupusxylem]

fair enough
think maybe they could be used for firewood instead?

[love_swan]

Probably! I doubt they'd smell good but it's a better use for them than eating them.

[lupusxylem]

unfortunately theres usually only one way to find out if shits poisonous or not...its how our ancestors did it or whatever

[There is NO need for this. You DO NOT have to.]

[lupusxylem]

yes

[lupusxylem]

oh. speaking from experience?

[lupusxylem]

hypotheticallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[mooninthewater]

(〃ಥ︵ಥ〃)

[lyricistdontmiss]

... you mean like, make someone we don't like eat it first?

[ Probably. But also, Zoey, no. ]
