Okay to eat bears though, yes?

I'm sure by now there's a movement to eat as many armadillos as possible to intentionally get leprosy to own the libs.

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.

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)

There's absolutely no way that's real. I refuse to believe.

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.

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.

High heat, humidity, and bath salts. It’s a winning combination!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Bath salts are soooo 2010. We're on meth and fentanyl now
