The Onion
A place to share and discuss stories from The Onion, Clickhole, and other satire.
Great Satire Writing:
POV: You’re the world’s largest producer of lentils, by far
Conservatives: “They’re eating the bugs”
Hell I won't eat bugs and ain't no conservative tagging me for it
It already happened in Poland. Source: search "Poland eating bugs"
What happened to freedom and letting people excercise their liberty as they please.
Many political scientists believe the reason rightwing politicians become hysterical at the idea of eating insects is due to the fact that in school, all of them were either the kind of children who made other children eat bugs, or the kind of children who would’ve made other children eat bugs if they’d possessed the upper body strength to do so.
“Like all bullies, conservatives are deeply afraid of pretty much everything,” said Dr. Abigail Petrie, the head of the Political Science Department at McGill University. “They mask their terror with anger, but beneath their performative rage you’ll find a person who is terrified of anything and everything. Sadly, rather than simply coping with their anxiety in a healthy way, conservatives lash out, like a dog attacking a vacuum cleaner while pissing itself in fear.”
Nailed it.
Holy moly, it's real.
What's it called when you eat the onion but turns out it actually is real?
Not the onion?
This fucking timeline
So… what are the odds that trump is going to have The Onion shut down?
I guess we'll find out on the Beav.
Thank God, the market price of lobster and crab is too damn high. Even prawn is getting up there.
I tried eating bugs, it's not bad. Aside from lobster and shrimp I mean, grasshoppers aren't that bad.
Silkworm pupae (Beondegi in Korean) are pretty good too.
I would try it, looks interesting. The canned stuff though... Ugh
The boiled or steamed snack food is served in paper cups with toothpick skewers. Its aroma has been described as "nutty, shrimp-like, and a bit like canned corn" and the canned-type smells very much "like tire rubber", while the texture is firm and chewy.

Edit: are those just the 'de-silked' pupae from the silk industry?
The pupa stage is a motionless stage. In this stage, people kill the pupa by plunging the cocoon into boiling water and unwind the silk thread.

So yes, it looks like this is the leftover insect after the silk is removed
Even better, thanks!
More for me!
Oh shit new moral panic just dropped!
